If you're telling me I shouldn't use my experience with what I have to make a judgement call then we are disagreed.

DocInfoSci replied to the thread Canon Shows off RF 500mm F5.6 L IS in Latest Patent.
Not so sure this is a valid comparison. 200mm to 24mm?
OK, quick switch in the tool for an apples to apples comparison... and the tool...

I hope it has the R6 III / C50 sensor. Also, one point of potential confusion in the future, after Canon releases the R6 IV probably in...

There have been many many fantastic photos made from retro cameras. Your comment does not make much sense, sir.

Good to know. I don't have a 500mm or 600mm zoom to compare with at this time, just Canon and Nikon primes in those ranges. I had...

Just to drive Alan's point home, compare the distortion of the RF 200-800 to that of the EF 24/1.4L II prime that you prefer for its...
AlanF replied to the thread Canon Shows off RF 500mm F5.6 L IS in Latest Patent.
There is a complete difference between comparing a 24mm zoom with a 500mm zoom when it comes to distortion. There is minimal inherent...

The EF 400/5.6 L was introduced in 1993 at $1250, which equates to $2750 in 2026, to put in perspective. It was popular because there...

The latest version of PL9 (just this week) finally uses Nvidia GPU well. Much faster processing times than in the past. Looks like...
DocInfoSci replied to the thread Canon Shows off RF 500mm F5.6 L IS in Latest Patent.
All true, of course, but perhaps the point is that the 400 f/5.6 provided a reasonable way for people to get — for the era — a...

This is a big-glass-forward design much like the EF 500 f/4 II . That was one of the sharpest lenses Canon ever made even with...

Wow!
I'm impressed on your lens ID's - my Leitz enlarger and slide projector lenses.

I see a Focotar and a Colorplan...very good choices! :)
The funny bayonet was the only reason why I chose the Minolta SRT 101 over...

AlanF replied to the thread Canon Shows off RF 500mm F5.6 L IS in Latest Patent.
The RF 100-500mm is an order of magnitude or more better than the EF 400/5.6. It is sharper at 500 than the prime at 400, has excellent...

It may not sound much, but to me it would. Given the lens is of decent optical quality and in combination with a TC it translates into...

The Astro-Cam market is also illustrative. Astro-Cams (from ZWO and QHY among others) are pretty close to 'sensor in a box' designs...

This is the patent for the Sigma 500/5.6 that already exists, priced at $3300 on B&H or $2270 here in Japan. The Sigma is about 43.5mm...

Well done, Maximilian. I especially like the first one.

People who bought Nikon ZR cameras seem to really love its giant screen, I hope Canon will do so with the R6V !
IBIS or not IBIS ? Some...
roby17269 replied to the thread Canon’s Retro Camera is Coming as the EOS R8 Mark II.
my point was: the R5 and R5C are different beasts and extrapolating from them that a no video version would cost less would be incorrect...

riker replied to the thread Is the EOS R6 V Canon’s Answer to the Nikon ZR?.
Since I would use it mostly for photo, I'd like to see IBIS stay.
Btw I don't think the logic is spot on - I'm not sure it's "how much...
