Lenses / Re: Vignetting problem on 24-105mm

« on: May 16, 2012, 10:11:55 AM »

Should I return it to canon or the the dealer (B&H) since I received this lens with the 5D Mark III less than a month ago ?

I'd start by calling B&H to see if they'll just swap out the lens for you.  Else, you'll need to contact Canon Service.

Looks like decentering to me, swap it out if possible, or send to Canon, but do it!

Hi,

I sent my copy yesterday. I'll keep you posted when it comes back to see if it gets any better.

Hi all,

I did some testing and I can definitely reproduce the issue, but not always: on some pictures I get a consistent vignetting on all borders. However, here are two other examples:




I need to replace my lens I guess

I just had one UV filter, I will do some tests tonight without the filter but doesn't seem to be a filter issue. What is the process if I need to replace the lens ? Should I return it to canon or the the dealer (B&H) since I received this lens with the 5D Mark III less than a month ago ?

Thanks,

Lenses / Vignetting problem on 24-105mm

« on: April 30, 2012, 01:14:06 PM »

Hi all,

I went to Yosemite this weekend to play with my new 5D Mark III (Love this camera) + 24-105mm and I just noticed a weird vignetting issue at 24 mm (does not show at other focal lengths)



The Aperture was f11 and the vignetting is only visible on the top left corner...
Anyone noticed the same behavior with the Kit lens (I am okay with vignetting as long as it is consistent in every corner of the picture...)

Hi Lessmore,

Even in DPP it is supported, but I was looking for the in camera support. My 24-105 4L is supported but not the 50mm 1.4 or the 85mm 1.8.

EOS Bodies / 5D Mark III in camera lens aberration correction

« on: April 18, 2012, 12:58:41 AM »

Hi all,

Since I switched from my crop body (Canon 350D) to the 3D Mark III (great camera), I found that the Canon 50mm 1.4 I loved is not so good with portraits anymore, I replaced it with the Canon 85mm 1.8 which has a better reach but lots of chromatic aberrations at full aperture. I had high expectations in the in camera lens correction but it seems this lens is not supported (correction data not available).

Is there a list of the supported lenses ? Does anyone know if canon plan to support more lenses through a firmware update ?

Thanks,
John

Software & Accessories / Which shoulder bag for 5D Mark III + Kit lens ?

« on: April 05, 2012, 11:23:51 AM »

Hi all,

I just received my 5D Mark III to replace my Rebel XT I've had for the last 6 years. My current bag is too small and I am considering buying a new shoulder bag which should Ideally hold the 5D + the 24-105 Kit lens attached to the body and ideally one or two extra lenses (Canon 85mm 1.8 + Sigma 70-300mm)

Those two bags seem great for the value:

Lowepro Adventura 170 Camera Bag

or

Case Logic SLRC-203

Do you have any advice on which one is the best, and do you have any experience with any of those bags (or any other bag that would fit under a 50 $ budget) ?

Thank you,
John
