    What's the combo like for birds in flight?

    All of the VCM primes have a 67mm filter thread. Keeping those dimensions with a 105/1.4 is not possible, it would need at least a 77mm...

    Seems a potential replacement for the 17-55. But 67mm lens? The 17-55 was 77mm and had a large lens hood to go with it. The small lens...

    Nope - many more holes to fill in the lineup before we "need" a mk II version of lenses that work great
  • M
    A clever move would be presenting the R8 mk2 and R10 mk2 at the same time in the similar retro design.

    We need = I need

    We need the RF 50mm f1,2 Mark II and the RF 85mm f1,2 Mark II, let´s hope they are on the way.

    This is today's camera market. One of my oldest cameras is my best looking camera.

    Canon has good good information about the camera market. I suspect that the retro look will be with us for a while, Fujifilm’s appeal...

    Sounds reasonable! I can only hope Canon are not too late to the party. Some trends and fashions are soon over...

    The rf14/1.4 is canon’s only option and is expensive. Clearly not only for Astro and is a compromise compared to a dedicated Astro lens...

    To save me from being disappointed, I only expect a silver top and better video specs. But I hope for a style like my eos 50e or a box...

    1) I had already my EF800mm F5.6 bought in Japan through Ebay cheaper than on MBP who is too expensive I sold my R5 and many others...

    Hopefully the R8 will get the update where you can choose either 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz Wi-fi. 5Ghz works a lot faster on my R6 II but it does...

    Budget aside, I’d say it depends on if you need the advanced video features of the C50 – time coding, XLR inputs, etc., or if you’d...

    Buy the CF-R20EP GRIP. Problem solved.

    Estoy exactamente en la misma situación. Tengo un montón de objetivos Canon y estoy casi listo para comprar la A7R.

    I believe it began much earlier, Leica's SLRs never had a real chance as a supplier to professionals. Especially Nikon F and F2 cameras...

    It is indeed a matter of taste. When I got my 5D III in 2012, I really fell in love with how this camera fits in my hands, and how solid...

    neuroanatomist replied to the thread EF800mm F5.6 +R3.
    MPB pricing right now is ~$5K for the EF 800/5.6L and ~$3.5K for the R3. I doubt many people would characterize $8500 as 'very low...

    Minolta was pioneer in bringing phase detection AF to the market. Leitz (Leica) developed that technology together with Minolta, and...
