What does the asterisk at the end of this line mean?

"No crop 8K and 4K video capture using the full-width of the sensor.*"

“Only in 8k RAW and 8k/4k DCI mode” and/or calling 16:9 video from a 3:2 sensor not a crop.

Sounds like a very reasonable lens, especially for the money.
Interesting that Samyang has af lenses for the RF, and no-one else has, yet.

A few years ago I bought a Tamron 85mm f1.4 for my 5d3, but the af was very much hit and miss and so I wouldn't use it for paying jobs, but I put this lens on my R, and it focusses very fast and accurate.
I think the R works really well with af lenses that don't play well with DSLRs.

Just posted one - worth the 5-year wait?

It definitley sounds like something to do with the way the cam ranger is set up.

I shoot 5/7 bracketed shots on my R often, however I just use the countdown timer to release the shutter for the whole sequence and it doesn't try to focus between shots.

Have you tried without the camranger and using some other remote trigger to rule it out? Even with the EOS app?

Rokinon had different technologies, the early ones did not talk to the camera, so the cameras had to be set to release the shutter without the lens. Newer ones have electronics enough such that apertures are recognized, but if you are adapting a EF to RF, there could be a issue.

Hi all, so for the Canon EOS R5 this newest format/technology cannot be used or it will not provide concrete speed on the cards to write/read data on burst mode, correct?

I thought similarly this year (I wanted to buy myself a Fujifilm GFX 50R or possibly Hasselblad X1D II 50C), and after analyzing my life situation (I do not earn a penny from shooting pictures, I live in such a region of my country where most of you after seeing this place would probably told me "dude, how do you find photo opportunities in this shitty place?") I ended up buying the brand new EOS 5DS R from the gray market for ridiculous low amount of money compared to how much it costed a few years later and now in the official Canon store. Before EOS 5DS R I used EOS R for less than a year, and before EOS R I used EOS 5DS for almost four years. The world of sensors above 50 megapixels is too addictive for me.



Looking for a little help if anyone knows how to find such a list, or how to find the specs and calculate if it would or not for a given lens.

All the tilt-shift 35mm lenses would cover the 44x33mm format, with room to spare for movements.

I don’t want to say much about the individual lenses that I tested, only that they all covered the sensor apart from the Sigma 24-35 zoom, that gave hard vignetting at 24mm.

From Canon I tried the

300mm f/2.8 mk2

85mm f/1.2 mk2

50mm f/1.2 mk2

45mm f/2.8 Tilt Shift

40mm f/2.8 STM

From Sigma I tried the

135mm f/1.8

85mm f/1.4

50mm f/1.4

35mm f/1.4

24-35mm f/2

Of course you need to refer to some sort of lens compatibility chart if one is ever made, to know which lenses covers the sensor. But for now, if you want to jump on this train early – then it’s all trial and error.

I have started a shared spreadsheet for tracking adapted lens coverage. Please consider updating and sharing. Also add lenses that you have tested that do not cover the sensor.

Using Canon Lenses with GFX

Third party lenses will always be a gamble with the GFX in terms of overall usability. That said, I’ve found that the 35Lii, 85Lii, and 135Lii work fantastic! You’ll still get some correctable vignetting, but honestly, I even get a decent amount of vignetting with those lenses on my Canon cameras.

The 50L does have a significant amount of vignetting, but it does look dang good. Again, you’ll have to give them a try to know for sure which lenses will work .

To mount my Canon EF lenses to the GFX, I purchased a Steelsring EF-GF adapter and have been happy with it. The autofocus seems to work really well though I don’t use autofocus often.

Also, I"ve been starting to see various adapters...to allow mounting the EF lenses to the GFX mount. I see mostly from Fotodiox and Techart.....both seem to claim they will work well with EF lenses to allow auto focus, and aperture control, and so far videos I've seen seem to show them to work fairly well, even autofocus didn't seem too bad from the demos I saw.

I'm wondering which would be the best to work with EF glass?

Click to expand...

You can find the most opinions about the Techart adapter here https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/prod...0527095463_canon_to_fujifilm_gfx.html/reviews It looks like a no-go in 2020, especially if you would like to use it with the Fujifilm GFX 100.

Kipon adapter also has some problem https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1457039-REG/kipon_ef_gfx_af_canon_ef_to_gfx.html/reviews

Maybe this one https://www.ebay.com/itm/STEELSRING...921351?hash=item1a5e84f487:g:84YAAOSwYahbn1UD will be the best option? "New update to 2nd Generation already !!!" so it probably has the latest firmware already updated. If not, firmware updates for this adapter can be found here http://www.steelsring.com/en/firmware-update/#efgfx

Not true. Rather than "Photos," my default programs are FastRawViewer for CR3 files and FastPIctureViewer for CR2 and JPG files. All of these photo types display as thumbnail photos when File Explorer is set to display icons larger than small. When it's set to display Small Icons or Details, the default view program icon (FRV or FPV) for the respective file type shows in the directory list. I installed FRV after acquiring the 1DX III because the codec supplied with the quick but ancient FPV had not been updated; the program would not open CR3 files. With the updated Microsoft codec, FPV can now also open CR3's.

Click to expand...

FRW has it's one codec pack and this is not supporting CR3. Do you see a thumbnails of the CR3 file in Windows Explorer with FastRawViewer as default.?
My default program for CR2 is PS 2020 and without FWR Codec Pack and with Raw Image Extension I only get the default thumbnails in Windows Explorer. Only after I make Photo's the default I get a proper thumbnail but small. Raw Image Extension is displaying the embedded JPG files in DNG or any other RAW extension. Not the actual Raw itself in full size.

700mm. I highly doubt I could handhold a 700mm lens and get a sharp shot. I'm not knocking the lens at all. I might actually be interested. I just know my limitations.

Click to expand...

Forget about your "limitations".
Optical stabilization plus IBIS are all you need. Depending on the speculations, they could allow a gain of up to 6-8 speeds.
So, no excuse to refrain from buying one...

I'm trying to find out if someone has experienced that this camera sometimes skips a number. The name is normally: IMG_ followed by a number of four digits, followed with a dot and the extention JPG. The number of the following photo is +1. I want to know if it s it possible that the software, or hardware names the following photo +2.

Click to expand...

it is possible if some photos were deleted in camera.

Is the video image stabilization engine in the Powershot G9XmkII exactly the same as in the G7XmkII (not III)? I read somewhere that the G7XmkII has a 5-axis system and just wondered if it was also in the G9XmkII. Thank you.

If you want to be certain if that the grip causes a problem, you should obviously use the camera without grip for a period and with batteries you know have caused the issue in the past.

Or if you need the grip for the ability to shoot vertical easily, maybe there is a friend or place where you can borrow / rent a different grip to perform the Experiment. Although if the problem occurs rarely, that could end up being fairly expensive.

++++With mechanical shutter, the maximum frame rate of the α9 is 5 fps, not 10.

Yeah right ok. How do you eliminate Rolling shutter effect while shooting action with electronic shutter though? A genuine question. shooting fast action at 5 FPS does not sound adequate?

Click to expand...

Sony claims their electronic shutter doesn't suffer from the same effect that plagues everyone else's electronic shutter. Independent reviewers are mixed as to just how true that claim is. There's no doubt the Sony sensor reads out faster than other, older sensors used in other cameras. There are varying opinions as to whether the reduced rolling shutter effect still demonstrated is acceptable or not for certain use cses, such as sports and action.

Think of it guys, if you buy these you will have “unlimited possibilities”. That’s a lot of possibilities more than with any other lens manufacturer, most of which offer “nearly unlimited possibilities”.

Did they just say unlimited? Their legal team must be having a senior moment. Oh well.

Been looking through websites for a supposed date, though everyone knows it's just all speculation at this point, unless anyone has heard anything about when the announcement would take place. It's 100% going to be/is pre-recorded, so they could stream it live tomorrow with a last minute announcement of a date tonight if they wanted, if they haven't announced an actual date yet.

I just want to place a pre-order

Click to expand...

Me too!

I did purchase a RF 35mm refurb when they were on sale, its a good lens on my R. My 5D MK IV is not getting any use, its been sitting for most of 6 months, and the events I usually photograph are shut down. I'm seriously thinking of selling it. Its in great shape and has a fairly low number of shutter actuations. I think the reason my R gets a lot of casual use is its size, a R5 is going to be larger, so I wonder if that would affect my usage. There seem to be a lot of features on it that might make photography easier, I hope it has focus stacking.

You were initially correct—mostly—there is a DIGIC 8 as well. However, it only supports DSLR functions—metering, PDAF. My guess is they didn't bother porting those functions to DIGIC X because they won't be needed much going forward

I completely missed that. But then again, I wasn't reading all the White Paper info. This explains a little more about the overall speed/responsiveness as well as the "unlimited" buffer.

Seriously though..... it is the Rebel line that I expect to eventually disappear, being replaced by the equivalent M bodies....

Click to expand...

Of course. I expect the 90D, 850D, and a new xxxxD camera to stay around for at least 2-3 years. My guess is the 60Da will be replaced by an EOS-M with the new 32.5MP sensor.

The book ironically titled something like Let Us Now Praise Great and Famous Men by James Agee with photos by Walker Evans is available in modern reprints for reasonable prices.

The Nikon reports have made me a wee bit wary of investing into my Z glass, which is a shame as it makes a great little bring everywhere camera when my Canon stuff is all huge(deliberately so).

Just like about 80% of professionals.

Hi Graham,

Thanks for sharing.
