We’ve reported previously that certain Tamron lenses do not work fully with the Canon EOS 7D. The outer crosstype AF points do not work properly. It was discovered that Tamron used Lens ID’s that Canon no longer supported. Canon made official what we already knew.

I know, I said “cool” and Tamron in the same sentence. It’s true though. Want to IS/VC your lenses? Just add this converter!
Announcements A few people have told me there will be nothing on March 1 as far as DSLR’s go. April is going to be the announcement month. They were told the same thing at NL via Thom Hogan. 18-200 II A suggestion of a redo of the 18-200 already. This time with USM. Big grain of salt here, though I don’t think Canon’s version of this lens sells as well as Nikons. 5D Mark III More people saying to expect a 5D Mark III before a 1Ds Mark IV. No EVIL “No new system camera” in 2011. I’m going to…
Why do you blow up so much 580EX II? There has been a lot of people writing in over the years about their 580EX II’s constantly failing. People became more vocal around the time the PocketWizard FlexTT5 and MiniTT1 launched. Below is preliminary research done by PocketWizard on the 580EX II and the problems it has.
March 1? A suggestion that a DSLR may be announced on March 1 came our way today. No word on what model they may be talking about. I have yet to see any sort of invite, and I don’t really feel any hype building. 1Ds Mark IV More 1Ds4 not until 2012 emails this week. Nothing new to report there. NL posted a few days ago about a 32mp 1Ds4 being pulled in 2010, and a 40mp version on the way. We’ve heard 40+mp for a while now. 5D Mark III 5D Mark III announcement rumors are all over the…

Our 3rd photographer profile has been completed. Drew “Rukes” Ressler took the time to talk with us about his photography and his business. Business looks to be pretty good for him. As I mention in the interview, I was intrigued by Drew because he seems to have created a thriving business in a new and/or underserved genre of photography. Check out the CR interview.

Coming May 2011? A replacement of the EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS could take the form of an EF-S 15-60 f/2.8 IS. It would have the same build quality of the current 15-85. May 2011 was mentioned for an announcement. CR’s Take I’ve seen similar stuff about the 17-55 in the past. It’s a lens that could use a refresh to keep the EF-S range from becoming stagnant. Canon is committed to APS-C. cr
