    Saturday we had some crocuses appearing. Today we had some yellow ones appearing, but not opening. I guess they wanted to stay warm...

    It's technically possible to have a focal reducer that maintains the same lens mount and flange focal distance - there is a 0.7x focal...

    Not sure that even reducing optics would solve the problem. A friend of mine who worked for Canon for many years once pointed out to me...

    No idea, but I'd expect that if the new 400mm and 600mm lenses have an integrated, switchable 1.4x TC (there were patents published on...

    Do we expect these potential 400mm and 600mm big whites to be comparable in cost to their predecessors? I wish I were in that market...

    Looking good! I like the filters. Is a light mode/dark mode toggle possible?

    You can say I'm the Easter bunny. It doesn't make it true.
  • neuroanatomist
    Whatever. Nikon has over 50 Z lenses ranging from 12-800mm. Canon has over 60 RF lenses ranging from 10-1200mm. Sony has more than both...

    Doesn't matter how long it took for Nikon. They have 2 modern lenses with TC, Canon has 0. The last one is from 15 years ago. And while...

    In a walk-around zoom i'd even prefer f4 over f2.8 (apsc-c) . A bigger aperture only will make things needlessly heavy and a prime like...

    I currently have the RF 400 mm f2.8 lens and would strongly consider the upgraded version as long as the weight does not get any...

    Thanks for the information. Always good to learn something new.

    The advanced filters look really useful.

    The EF to RF adapter is just a hollow tube because the RF mount is physically closer to the sensor than the EF mount (20mm vs 44mm) so...
  • neuroanatomist
    Yes, it is a hollow tube...but not an extension tube. An extension tube is something that positions the lens such that the lens mount is...

    I admit that I'm not an expert in optics and that I've never seen the optical design for the 200-400mm. I see your point, but I have 2...

    I think people have said mirrorless/short flange distance (if that's the term) means the elements for some focal lengths can essentially...

    Well of course :) Apart from holding the camera from the lens (usually), it's not that I operate a lot of controls on the lenses...

    What is your source, is it fully reliable?

    Well, you've done an excellent job of showing everyone what sort of person you prefer to be, which is that you :ROFLMAO:

    A 1.4x TC built into a lens does not have to be any different to a separate 1.4x TC added to a lens. The lens is simply designed to...

    No amount of (claimed) education can cover for the miserable person you actually are.
  • neuroanatomist
    We have very different priorities, and that's perfectly fine. Ergonomics are important, which is why I prefer bodies with an integrated...
