Though I would also point out, that it also delivers a fully articulating screen, which is very rare in full frame cameras, and very useful for some people. I know, I know. I sound like a broken record It's just that I've waited for a FF Canon with an articulating screen since t3i, lol.

It's an important feature. As I prepare for the solar eclipse, I certainly appreciate the tilting LCD on my M5 with my camera and lens pointing up 65 degrees since I don't have a extra tall tripod.

Not sure if this will help but some credit cards will extend the manufacturers warranty. I think American Express will give you up to another year. But of course, check w/ them.

Yes, its dependent on the particular card. Some AMEX cards do not have the warranty, if they do, the camera needs to have a valid manufacturer warranty during the first year. They have lots of gotchas, cannot be purchased on a auction site, no gray market, so its valuable as long as you meet their requirements.

Far from shut me down, Mrs 1dxman gave me half the cost of my new mark 2

So why have you singed onto a Canon forum to tell us that?

There is a suspicious number of people who signed up in the past few weeks to say they no longer care about Canon...

Indeed there are. Too bad we can't see the IP's of posters...

Heres a video I just did with my Canon C300 Mark II with the 18-80 cinema zoom for Dr. Marten's Shoes.

Enjoy,

Thought I'd throw one of my test shots in here.
Resolution on this test shot was mighty impressive. The window pane grids are resolved but at the pixel level where the grid is the same width as an individual pixel. Lighting is moon light, f2.8, ISO 3200 and focus set on the stars. I was waiting for the clouds to move by that were partially obstructing the Milky Way but fired off some test shots.

They're going to announce it on the 6th Tuesday in November.

Not sure what to play during a Solar Eclipse???

Seems even more appropriate. You will literally be staring at the dark side of the moon.

Hmm..rather than maybe just the album, I should compile a song list to play throughout!!

Thinking:

Black Hole Sun
Brain Damage/Eclipse
Here Comes the Sun
Little Neutrino
Let the Sunshine In
???
Suggestions?

thanx for the input. I am afraid that the 1DX is not going to live up to the mk2, but will really find after it gets here (tomorrow).
The lights are LED and I have a little bit of say so in their programing, so hopefully we can keep them bright enough to get this working well. If not, I'll have an almost new 1DX for sale and will be shopping for the mk2.

'am worried that the red focusing point missing will be a problem. Often I have to get things going while waiting for the light, but oh well, I'll find out soon.

thanx again,

pierre

I have decided to keep this lens. Coma is more than acceptable to me. Driving a thousand miles on the 17th just to go and play with this lens in the Richtersveld National Park. There will be a new moon and dark skies with an abundant photo opportunities, both landscape and astro.

I'm looking forward to a few more formal reviews. (Hoping for one from Dustin!)

Have you used this for any landscapes or photojournalistic style shots? Any info about use for general use would be very much appreciated.

I doubt whether a TS-E 35mm would be profitable enough to make, when people have the option to buy TS-E 24mm + EF 1.4x teleconverter.

The same I could say about the 24mm. I don't have it, but do it with the 17 TSE+1.4 Ext as well.

rrcphoto said:
canon places it right at the edge of the lens to lens hood.

Then you should look again on the 17 TSE and 24 TSE....

@ Talys - excellent post. Mt Spokane Photography obviously knows what he is talking about! This is what I was hoping could come from this thread.

Oh, am wondering if Bluetooth will prove to be a big plus?

Another little spec that seems to bring jeers re. the 6D2 is: "it's only 98% viewfinder!". Like, is a tiny bit of extra that big a deal to crop out? Maybe it's my ignorance but I just can't fathom this being a problem.

Jack

There's a small upside to having less than 100% viewfinder coverage. If you compose a shot just right you can be safe in the knowledge that there will still be a little bit extra to play around with to straighten and crop. It's pretty tough to get the horizon just perfect when handholding and using viewfinder. I often have to apply some corrections in post and by doing so you only lose the stuff that wasn't even in your original composition to begin with! Bonus!

Of course and yet many reviewers make a big deal about having less than 100%. I suppose if you shoot jpg and never PP, but really, truly, it is pathetic to harp about 2%.

Thanks Sanj!
I really got to get myself one of those white balance cards :/

True. It would be best to get a color checker card because the lighting conditions vary in different locations. That way the colors should get much better than with a simple gray card.

Re: Canon’s ME20F-SH Multi-Purpose Camera Enables Viewers to ‘See in the Dark’ on National Geographi

It would be kind of cool to have nightvision goggles that translated that onto an electronic display. Would be way neat and have many advantages over traditional nightvision (like being able to distinguish colors). Of course, it would probably be 100x more expensive than most would be willing to pay

I sure hope built-in LED's on macro lenses is a trend Canon and other companies will continue to explore. While I love the functionality of my macro flashes (not LED) and would not be without them for "serious" macro work, I would love to have built-in LED's on, say, my 100L for more casual walk-arounds and slight lighting help when I do not feel like carrying around the large and heavy macro flashes..

Zeidora · Aug 6, 2017

May also have to do that I grew up on MF. Second, I never use AF, so have more practice than most people, I would surmise. I have no issues with any lenses from ultra wide (FF FE), 35/1.4 classic ZE, Otus 55 up to MPE65 and a bunch of others. Can't comment on 85, never used one ever. The trickiest is possibly the 300/2.8, because it is not meant for MF, but can be done with a bit of concentration and care. Not a high use lens for me anyway.

Personally, I'd like one of these new lenses to be the 600 f/4 DO. I wonder why no one here has suggested one or more of the new lenses could be updates to the tilt-shift line? They would seem to fit the rumor fairly well.

Apparently I nailed this one 8).
