    What would be the use cases for 100/1.4 @f1.4 vs say a f2.8 like the current RF100 macro? For portraiture, wouldn't keeping both eyes...

    IYHO that may be correct as some think that their use case is the only "serious" use case for a lens/genre. since we are sharing shots...

    Nice photos. Thanks for sharing. Makes me reconsider my statement.

    sqrt(85 * 135) = 107 So a 105 is close. But you can't argue with 24, 50, 100 either !

    On both ## 2 and 3 the female is easily recognizable: #2 as you say "real couple" ("old family"). the #3 should be an old family photo...

    And people get less tired when using OIS instead IBIS? Or does OIS just work better when you are tired than IBIS?

    I'd be interested in a variable focal length macro lens that achieves 1:1 magnification moreso than a higher-magnification lens...

    Great photos!

    Thanks. I played around with the iso settings when I was shooting the video. My camera lens only goes to f4, while the phone can go to...

    I was talking unstabilised RF lenses. I'd gladly take a 200 to 300mm unstabilised RF lens if IBIS allowed me to drop shutter speeds to...

    Yes, you will need to play with your aperture and ISO settings to get the right exposure. Your R6 has vastly superior capabilities to...

    I (still?!) own a decent copy of the [nonstabilized] TAMRON SP AF 70-200mm F2.8 Di LD IF Macro A001...and upon acquisition of an R5MkII...

    very much alive and active insects, handheld, but maybe not a macro shot

    It could just be the weight of the lens. That is not at all a factor in the CIPA test. Robots do not get tired.
  • E
    I think that is true. Tamron had a lot of SLR lenses in the standard range with IS. They have very few in mirrorless. Canon has gone the...

    I was replying to someone who stated, “I was shocked to see how I can see the lack of IS on the images…” Sure, maybe someone using the...

    The distance from the sensor at 300 mm would be exactly the same. The back focus makes up for the flange distance. RF would give you...

    IBIS is most effective at standard focal lengths, but I guess that it was what you meant. I wish Canon would let us turn IBIS off and...

    Thanks, this now makes sense for most items. The items that make my head scratch are: The sensor only receives horizontal polarization...

    CIPA uses robots. Human hands are different, and we will all get different results. If CIPA did not use robots, then they could not give...

    Is that because of the reliance on IBIS with MILCs? Is that also true of Nikon's VC lenses (since they transitioned to MILCs on a...

    Tripods come in many sizes. Maybe you just need a smaller one?

    Cinema cameras are often rigged up because they do not come with everything we need. It does add to stability, but that is not the main...
