Keep it short. Finally getting RP with kit lens from daughter back she borrowed it for a few weeks 14 months ago.... Anyway daughter in law wants to get into low light photography as does a good mate. Budget up to $3000 new or used. Both are gonna borrow RP to see if they want to take plunge into photography then buy. Ive suggested used R6 mark1 with 24/105 f4 I dont think its overkill some may say not a beginner camera talking Australian dollars. Thats about $2100 US dollars.

If anyone wants to take a risk, here's a Canon RF 24-105 at Goodwill. Auction ends May 25. Current bid is $36. Canon's refurbished price is $460. Used prices on EBay hover around $200. https://shopgoodwill.com/item/264787587

Been shooting more shows and it is clear I need a second body. Changing lenses is just too inconvenient. I have an R3. Could not be much happier (2 CF slots would have helped, but....) Its like it was made for me. Balanced with any lens. Cusotmized to fit my hand and mind. I really do not have budget for a second camera and concerned about "wearing" 2 bodies and lenses. So, the choices are: 1. R6 II - Refurb at $1700 is attractive. I'm sure it would do the job, but would I be foolish not...

Pretty rough around the edges. Im a high ISO warrior so use photolab

Dan Hartford from the Lightroom Queen asked members to post suggestions for a new blog. I kicked in a few things which took a bit of time for me to warp may head around using the catalogue system. That goes back to 2011 but I never forgot the few hard lessons and surprises during my first few weeks of navigating it. https://www.danhartfordphoto.com/blog/2026/5/lr031-15-things-new-lrc-users-should-know

Got this email today. I'm also getting a message on the Mac Mini M4 and MB Air M3 that Intel support will soon stop.

About two o'clock this morning I was out minding my own business when... I couldn't get Exposure Simulation to work. Camera - Menu 7 Expo. Simulation has always been set to Enable. I could not view an estimate of the Simulation using settings like: f/2.8 - ISO 51200 - 15mm the screen never displayed and changes...just a dim/dark image, regardless of the settings. I did notice the Exp. SIM was flashing red if memory is correct. I did the usual troubleshooting Power/Battery nothing.

Was checking second hand gear. Banner across bottom something big is coming canon June 17th.

Some good tips on refocusing continually and giving yourself enough real estate. The real estate part I figured out pretty early :) As most know I leave AF on the shutter button which gives me an extra BBF for emergencies. At 11:27 is how I set up my 3rd BBF (AF point selection). I prefer to go from fast SS for shooting BIF to slow SS for static. To get more precise AF modes with Eye Detect "enabled" I set up the M-Fn to cycle through Whole Area, Zone, Single Point and Spot AF. I feel that...

Editing enhancements added (mask edge refinements, colour grading with masks and extended white balance) as explained by Julieanne Kost - Click Here. Phil

R8 firmware update 1.6.0 is available on the USA Canon website. https://www.usa.canon.com/support/p/eos-r8#idReference%3Dadvisories I just completed the update. All seems to be good.

What we want: More telephoto reach. What we have: EOS M6 II (plus three lenses - 32 f/1.4, 11-22, and 18-150) and we also have an RF 100-400 f/5.6-8 (purchased for my RF mount camera - I’ve since purchased the 100-500 and have four other RF lenses. 16, 35, and 85 consumer primes and the 24-240). What we’re pondering: Do we get the EF-EF-M adapter and purchase the Canon EF 70-300 f/4-5.6 IS II USM and use on the M6II? Or keep the RF 100-400 and pick up an R10? With the R10 + RF...

I was so focused on trying to manually focus the images I didn't see the composition. My bad, don't be like me. FD 28mm @f/16 EDIT: 6 image focus stack

One a weber BBQ with this one had to be a rural scene. Anyway R6 and guys who are using image for there office are going to make it huge will be interesting to see what it like 1.5 metres by 1 inch believe is what printer said will work. Jpeg as well somewhere I lost the raw was gonna redo as tiff Apparently not needed fine as is with 24mp fraction distorted but they dont care

Yes, it did take a bit of handlings/juggling, so I have ZERO idea why Canon thought RF 1 was an improvement over the EF design. I doubt I will be spending $40 ($8 x 5 lenses) for Version 2 that fixes their design error... they should be giving them away for FREE! https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1970928-REG/canon_lens_dust_cap_rf.html/overview

I am pleasantly surprised by the Minolta MD 45mm f/2 that I got at KEH for $65, so I decided to compare it to the RF 45mm f/1.2 that cost me $470. First, the Minolta is tiny. Second, although the Minolta is old school tech from 1978, it actually competes pretty well in sharpness at apertures above f/4. The corners are never as sharp as the Canon, but the center is pretty damn close at almost every aperture. I'm not going to spam the forum, so here's a sample at f/5.6. Canon on top...

... wasn't the camera, or the lens, or the new lens caps... But this new Canon bag. I kind of want one. But it doesn't seem to be listed anywhere on Canon's website. I won't get started on this girl in the red body suit, or her weird hand next to her face poses that just seemed...weird.

It is available on the Canon USA website, released today EOS R5 Mark II Firmware Update, Version 1.3.0

I currently have the EF 24-240mm f4-6.3 on my R6II, but I'm thinking about replacing it with the RF 24-105mm f4.0L. I like the idea of a non-variable aperture lens. Has anyone here used both of these lenses? If so, what are your thoughts?
