Now available for the EOS-M - mostly (only?) interesting because someone else is supporting the mount.

EOS-M / Metabones speed booster for the M

« on: May 15, 2013, 07:01:59 AM »

Youtube [also on CanonWatch] has a video with what looks like a Metabones Speed Booster for the M - looks like it'll be alot of fun to play with, especially with some of the old MF lenses.

Lenses / Poll?

« on: November 06, 2012, 09:21:02 PM »

How about a poll on what lenses, especially those rumored, that people most want to see next.

Where are the EF 60 & EF 200L macros and especially 14-24 [even though I'm afraid of what it'll cost]?

Canon General / Life Pixel customer service

Anyone else have such a problem?

I was looking for a UV only conversion so I asked which model from their pull down list was best, they claimed any of those on that list [since changed] would work fine, I bought one second hand [non-refundable] for them to convert. OOPS - they really can't convert that model! They're sorry, but I'm stuck with S&H and trying to resell an obsolete camera [not alot of money, but..]

there answer is;
"I think that getting your camera converted through maxmax would be the way to go, especially as it is much less expensive."

I did get a refund and my camera is supposedly on its way back.

Lenses / No compact 'standard' L zoom?

« on: September 26, 2012, 11:02:28 AM »

With the announcement by Canon of the 6D, it appears that they've at least acknowledged (are hoping) that there is a (big?) market for a FF camera, but in a smaller, lighter package. So, wheres the lens to go with it? There are currrently only 3 [out of 10] FF standard zoom lenses. Of the two L offerings, the 24-70 is by all accounts very good, but quite pricey and still not light [the brickette], the 24-105 is also pretty good, but still looks large on the 6D, especially as a walk around zoom.  Canon makes FIVE versions of the 70-200!!!  Why not something like a lighter, more moderately priced 24-70L /4?

and how about 35/2L and 24/2 or 2.8L
