    Ok ok, I was overdramatic. They're not lying, they're obfuscating. Better? Whichever way Canon is doing it, the end result is that...

    Oh yes, but this article is a very far-fetched interpretation of two nothing-burger paragraphs of that interview 😆 March and Mars have...

    Then you didn't actually read the article, or if you did then you're missing the point. Just to forestall a next comment, "mars" is...

    One of my jobs at a tech company was to deliberately provide versions of a story to various people within the company as products were...

    This lens is yesteryear tech totally worth playing with if you can find one. Our local London Drugs carried one for giggles for years...

    I read it as an April 1. prank article, I cannot fathom taking any of its content seriously :D
  • neuroanatomist
    Some people just can't see the forest for the trees, or in this case, the picture for the pixels. They'll happily measurebate their...
  • neuroanatomist
    Yes, evidently. The concepts you are fixated on are applicable to pixels, not to pictures. Image noise is inversely proportional to...

    I wasn't exactly intending to enumerate all the causes of the likely years-long implosion of consumer electronics. I agree with the...

    Ah thank you - I tend to forget about patents

    Regarding Meike, I bought one of their EF-to-RF 0.7x Speed Boosters about a month ago. It was $250 gamble, optically about as good as...

    I'd love to see Canon run with Sigma's 500mm f/5.6 concept at the same tier as the 200-800 silver ring, making it a series of mid-tier...

    This is really interesting, didn’t know this! I’m still using the original R and really starting to see it lag behind newer cameras...

    Canon has a patent application for a 400-600mm f2.8-f4 lens (and a Canon RF 300-600mm F2.8-4.5L) See...
  • neuroanatomist
    Exactly my point. "We do not comment publicly on that," is a frequent answer from Canon to many questions. Hypothetically, Canon tells...

    Canon execs are well practiced in giving vague non-answers, so there is no reason for them to flat out lie.

    I definetly don't understand your discussion. In some cases you seem to agree but in the end you disagree. That is confusing. I think...
  • AlanF
    That is not an easy question to answer. Behemoth is an evocative word term for something of monstrous size, power, or appearance. It is...

    I am sorry but this new article adds objectively nothing to the previous discussion. So if the aim was to convince people that Canon is...

    Excellent shots!

    Probably a shell company set up specifically to sell RF versions of the Meike lenses under a different brand. That way when Canon...

    I wonder how many more times you will need to explain that? :ROFLMAO:
  • roby17269
    I haven't heard of a Canon RF 400-600 2.8-4 - that would be awesome if indeed they make one but I would expect it to be more than...
  • neuroanatomist
    No, we don't agree on that. For an individual pixel, smaller means more noise, sure. People who measurebate pixels love discussing that...
  • roby17269
    Do you have any links about the Sigma 300-600 4 being not good at 600mm? The reviews I have seen speak highly of that lens. Also you...
