Saw my first European Stonechat on vacation in Portugal and managed to creep quite close.

Also finally managed to get a decent shot of a Eurasian Kingfisher after figuring out where on the damn river their territory was.

The never-seen-before zoom predicted for 2026 will be.......(?)

Longish macro zoom… 200mm range?

The never before seen macro lens rumoured last year hasn’t appeared yet.

Thanks a lot! Even I understood your explanation.
You demonstrated the the French proverb: "Ce qui se concoit bien, s'enonce clairement".
OK for the malt!

Merci beaucoup!

There was a server issue on the site, a few days of main page and forum posts got nuked. That thread was just reposted.

anon Rumors: Built-In Teleconverters Coming to RF 400mm and 600mm Replacements

This article has been rewritten due to technical issues with a backup service. I guess we need to back up the backups. We have been told by a couple of good sources that the plan is to announce replacements for the RF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM and RF 600mm f/4L IS USM in late Q4, […]

Clearly, the advantage of the MFT 2x crop factor comes into play if you crop all, or most of your images, as is the case with me. Obviously you understand that if you crop a FF image from the R5 II - or any FF camera - to the size of the MFT image or smaller, than the OM-1's 20 MP sensor totally out-resolves any and all Canon and Nikon FF cameras, and is about the same as the R7. If you have used both the OM 150-400 and the Canon 200-800, then any comparison is a joke. Basically a top-level pro lens with a very good consumer lens. The OM lens is definitely better, in my opinion, than the excellent Rf 100-500, too. The AF subject detection and tracking is definitely on par with the original Canon R5, R6 II, and better than the R7, all of which I have used. Pre-capture is better than any Canon, FPS options are higher, and the stacked sensor has a very fast read-out speed. OM's IBIS is still as good as anything on the market. It is true that OM Systems is basically a niche company now, which is unfortunate. It is difficult, in a world where the internet influencers essentially dominate the marketing opinion of consumers, for them to compete, since we all "know" how FF is the only way to go if you are a "real" photographer.

It sound like someone has an inferiority complex?

After a futile hummingbird photo session (they went to the neighbor's feeder for their portraits), I was bringing equipment in and noticed two different butterflies on our Eastern Nine Bark.
They say the best camera is the one you have on you, so I used the R5 and EF 600mm f/4 III + 1.4tc. It felt like I was using a bazooka to shoot them!

Like the others, I have not noticed any overexposing tendency on the R5 or R1.

what about the camera hangs and restart when dpraw enabled and shooting brackets with self timer on 2 sec or 10 sec?

Quite common on Greek islands. I could spot those on Rhodes and Kos before

With the R6 series now being 30mp I’m not sure I want the 5.

I ended up flipping my R5 last month and I swapped it out for a new R6iii, to compliment my R6ii. I’m super happy with both cameras and a lot happier with them than I was with R5. I got slightly more for the R5 than I paid for it, so I can’t complain.

Le Canon Français - Look at our headline news today about you Alsatian Canon guys.

France's 'patriotic' banquets rile hard left

The feasting phenomenon run by Le Canon Français has become a hot political issue.

www.bbc.co.uk

I am not at all concerned! Not only because I hate such mass-meetings.
This beer-wine-food orgy took place in the Haut-Rhin region, while I live in the Bas-Rhin (High vs. low Rhine). We are by far the better part of Alsace!!!!!!

We don't very much like each other, the Haut-Rhinois are famous for being "über-patriotic", which mustn't be considered a quality.
But please, take my comment with a huge, an enormous, an elephantesque grain of salt...

Interesting list and good to know. Thx. Especially that the 100mm F2.8 L Macro IS USM will be serviced until 2032. I´m currently looking for a used copy (or that Sigma 105mm macro...don´t know yet) to take with me to the North Sea.

I didn´t know Canon released several TS lenses. I thought there were only two TS lenses. But hell, a TS 135mm? That kind sounds crazy to me. What use cases are there for this lens? In my (obviously narrow) mind, I always thought TS lenses are specially for architecture or waterfalls and such things. But nobody would pick a 135mm lens for that. Also, has anybody in this forum ever used or own a TS-E50mm F2.8L Macro? I´d really love to find out about these lenses, just because I´m curious.

Really good quality images and tiny - I don't think you'll be disappointed.

No LCD is a no go for me. I am completely dependent on having an LCD screen (tiltable) when shooting from the waist or low to the ground or over head. If the tilting LCD is good and bright enough, I can live fine without an EVF.

You do know that you can set any of the controls on an EOS camera to do whatever you want (or nothing) - right?

That's not entirely true, though. For some controls you are only allow a very limited number of things to be mapped to that control.

There was still water in the creek. So cool when the creek is dry and the waterfall just happens right off the cliff. If you go upstream a bit, the creek just happens out of nowhere, too. Lava flows are cool.

It's because in real life we're not photographing test charts in controlled environments and viewing things at 200% on huge monitors.

It's because in real life we're not photographing test charts in controlled environments and viewing things at 200% on huge monitors. We're shooting dynamic subjects and viewing them on smaller screens where supposed IQ loss isn't noticeable, especially since such photos won't have a 1:1 we can compare f8 to f14 with.

Where we first see diffraction is in acutance (visible as a loss in micro-contrast) rather than just straight resolution. It's precisely that it doesn't show up first in resolution charts that it is present but not easy to spot. It's not that a set of test lines blur. It's that the cutoff of their transitions becomes soft and that isn't what people "viewing things at 200% on huge monitors" look at.

In short, it's not the pixel peepers who catch it. It's that the image loses that crispness of fine detail not that the detail itself isn't visible.

If the smallest dot is as big as two photo sites then you are not getting the sharpness the sensor can produce. That's just physics and, yes, it shows up in real world images if you care to look for it.
