    Not only from GAS, but also from no longer being 20 (far from it) as well as from knee damage. And looking for lighter gear, yet not at...

    But that's for an f/1.2 aperture, right? Aperture limited scenarios, like lenses with a base f/4 or adding extenders, does reduce the...

    I'm pretty much in the same boat, although I'm in a post-purchase dilemma. :LOL: The 70-200 Z is surprisingly light, 302 grams or 11 oz...

    Thanks guys. Yes, clearly not an issue..

    What do you mean by low light? AF sensitivity for current MILCs is below –6 EV (the R8 is –6.5 EV, for example). That light level is...

    Long overdue, I’m still confused why this wasn’t Tamron first RF mount lens first since it has no true direct competitor from Sigma (the...

    Ah, I see you suffer from G.A.S. 😅 Since I am ok with my 100-400 II and 70-200 f/4 II, my G.A.S. is limited to 20-50 only ;)

    Not really an issue, since in low-light situations the aperture usually stays fully open.

    It is a mouth watering lens, according to all its happy owners. My dilemma is named 100-500. Should I replace it, along with the 70-200...

    Nice addition to the endless sea of options but special in the standard zoom category! Just learning to like the EF-s 15-85 for time...

    I did not get the email from Canon USA, but it's a legit issue and can be resolved by downloading the current version...

    Using Exposure + DOF simulation will hurt low-light AF performance, won't it? I've switched to having Exposure + DOF simulation as the...

    I am using DoF simulation, having heard of it a bit lately... I works perfectly, focus is always where I want it to be.

    Somehow? According to Canon, focus shift is part of the lens design...it's not going to 'somehow be resolved' for the lens itself. Two...

    It's crazy how sharp and clear this lens is even with a 2X extender. I just got one last night, will have to take it out this weekend...

    I would be shocked and amazed if this thing had IS. I dont see too many R8/RP/R50 buyers grabbing this thing.

    Here's a 100% crop of the lens + 2x extender at MFD. I wasn't paying attention to the zoom, so it's not at 400mm :/

    He He! I'll pick up my 20-50 tomorrow morning at 10:00 GMT! 😁

    My M6II has the MP-E65mm and is next to the focus stacking rail, it's hard to beat 32MP in APS-C for tiny subjects!
