Stopping down does expand depth of field, but with very long focal length the gain is limited, of course. Here is an example shot with...

For live insects (and I gather reptiles and amphibians) in the wild autofocus can help a lot. I've done macro with rails, but it's not...

Depends what you're using it for. I use a 180 macro primarily for flowers and smooth out of focus backgrounds are an important part of...

Richard,
You described one of the lenses as using a VCM and then spelled that out as "Voice Coils Motor". But it's not. It's "Voice...

The EF 180mm is a very sharp lens, ideal for when you need more distance to the subject (e.g. insects). A 200mm f4 macro would be fine...

How many years did it take for the EF lineup to be mature? Many more years than the RF has been with us. I guess if I were many years...

Fingers crossed for a 15-60/85 RF-S lens, whether bright or not. Zoom lenses starting at 17 or 18mm on Canon APS-C just aren't quite...

A replacement for the old 180mm Macro would be very welcome, perhaps 180mm or 200mm. But I'm not going to hold my breath. Higher end...
Ian K replied to the thread Canon RF 14mm F/1.4 – Is it the Astrophography Dream Lens for RF?.
I can’t see why it wouldn’t work. Obviously I haven’t tried with the RF 14mm f/1.4L VCM but I used it with the RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM...

Why? Meaning, what is the business justification for filling in what you believe is a gap vs. releasing more lenses for full frame? I...
Uneternal replied to the thread What We Expect Canon to Announce in the Coming Months.
Canon has a big gap in their APS-C lineup, which they treat like a stepchild. Before they release more lenses for full frame, they...

Like Nikon did with the ZF, this is the only release I wish from Canon in 2026, Is this realistic?

Beautiful shots, danfaz. You should crop closer to the bird in the 4th one to eliminate the mass at the bottom.
Well done, Sir!

I do not take "never" rumors very seriously.
Canon never planned to make full-frame mirrorless cameras, but now they are the only...

Fwiw I essentially never* stopped down my 500, for me the gain of more of the subject being in focus was never worth making the...

Yeah it's just another thing to take around however it's probably worth it for perfect focus. Do you have a filter/plate system that...
