A UHS-1 card is not up to it, a UHS-II V60 card is ok. V90 is good, but the extra speed is not needed. Hopefully, it will work for the R5. I have a 128GB Lexar UHS-II V60 that is my card for the "R"

Unfortunately on a small island you can't always get what you want.
I had picked up what I thought was a UHS-II on my travels and it was ok with 4k on M50 but not the R
but it was UHS-I so explains why i got it at a good price!!
When UHS-II were available the only choice was V90

I am well aware of that, I pointed out seeing how this DSLR lens renders, they could have done a better job with that at well (maybe a mk4 coming at some point...)

Sorry, I missed your point.

I agree that this is not looking to spectacular. There seems to be a haze that makes the background look weird to me.

my cheap 70-300 mm nano usm lense wont focus breath at least ,its ok for close ups big insects and flowers.
but there can be copy variation ,readed about review where it did focus breath.
I hope there will be better lenses on future couple weeks and we see

I don't know anything about video, but I don't find it at all surprising that the R5 will use the same Raw file type as the 1Dx III. (If that is what they are assuming.)

Hey friends,

I’ve been using the Canon M50 for the last year and a half, and recently added the M6 Mark II to the stable. I know the Canon menus inside and out and have them both configured exactly to my liking and they work well together for continuity. 50/50 for video and photo. True hybrid shooter.

The reason I picked up the Mark II was for the Custom (C1 and C2) settings and being able to switch quickly between 23.98 and 59.94 frame rates and respective shutter speeds of 1/50th and 1/125th. The switch is fairly seamless although I don’t like the fact that you can’t set C1 or C2 up for dedicated video modes. They’re still photography focused with just video added on. Much like the Manual mode. Very annoying. I wish that they would allow a custom setup menu for Custom modes to start from the top as Photography focused or Video focused and go from there. But I digress...

THE MAIN QUESTION: why is it when in M, C1, or C2... and I have the ISO locked at 100... when I hit the record button, there’s still some auto metering/exposure changing happening and I DON’T want that. I’ve gone through the settings several times and I can’t find anything in auto for exposure changes while video recording.

Am I missing something? I don’t mind being humbled if its something real apparent that I’m overlooking.

Thanks for any help on this.

I’d go to your local camera store and look for an M camera that came in on trade.....

It has 22 elements in 16 groups, including one FLD and four SLD elements. The old version 21 elements in 15 groups, with four SLD elements. Optically the old one was pretty good but with poor IS when it came out. The new one can take a tripod ring, which is a plus over the old. It uses a stepping motor for AF.

I've been waiting on a 3rd party bg22 myself but never seen one. What I have come across that I didn't end up buying but was on the fence about was meike mk eosrg. Basically ergos only extension, no battery or vertical release. Not sure what the build is like on them but imagine it would be improvement over the R alone from ergos PoV which is pretty small and too small for me to get all my fingers on easy ; skinny fingers but large hand length/width = awkward finding stuff to fit so wasn't sure if such a minor grip extension was worth it.

Click to expand...

Yeah I've seen the Meike hand grip extension thing but not got one yet as I've been holding out for a true battery grip.

Just seems so strange that one hasn't appeared yet, and there is now several for the RP from a couple of manufacturers.

Although in saying that, we are now 18 months since the launch of the EOS R and there are only 2 third party lenses available.....

i also own the 15-45 and the 18-55...what i don't like most about the 15-45 is the collapsible design. i feel i'm missing moments having to extend the lens and i don't trust it (and me) to leave it open all the time. what i don't like about the 18-55 is that it starts at 18 )
i have the ef-s 15-85 as well which solves both complaints but it is a beast on the M5 with the adapter
i also dipped my toes into the fuji system and their 16-50 kit lens is really good...and they have the mirrorless equivalent of the ef-s 15-85 i've been asking for from canon: 16-80 f4, which i'm more and more tempted to buy...

Click to expand...

I have been using the 15-45 ( along with other lenses) on my M5 for over 2 years and do a lot of "shoot and run". The only time I collapse the lens is when I need to put it back in the the camera case. So far so good. Even regular zoom lenses changes length when you zoom. No body that I know is concerned about it.

Its for Sony FE and has the same optics as the ATX-i 100mm F2.8 1:1 Macro lens for Canon EF, Nikon F mounts, but is missing the distance window. I'd tend to go with u used Canon 100mm L for a few dollars more, I've been able to use it handheld at very close distances taking advantage of the Canon IS. The $399 price for the Tokina for Canon is reasonable.

Richard Shepherd, pro product marketing senior manager at Canon Europe, has said in interview in Digital Camera World that "And of course, should the market demand it, we are ready to create new EF lenses. But for now, our focus is on RF", so I wouldn't expect any new EF lenses.

Photography equipment sales are shrinking fast. On top of that, cameras & lenses have become so good, most photographers have no need to upgrade. For Canon, the RF mount is a chance to begin again in a golden land of opportunity and adventure of making photographers buy new cameras and lenses all over again.

Not making an EF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM, which Canon is rumored to have developed, is one way to get there.

Serge Ramelli is a passionate guy with great presentation skills; I'm not a big fan of him as a photographer. If you look his 500px profile up, you'll find a number of grungy cityscape photos and a number of average landscapes with heavily (yes, heavily) tilted horizon and sensor dust spots. This guy teach postprocessing and doesn't know how to remove the dust spots and level the horizon up. Compositionally, most of his photos are mediocre at best. If you do a blind review, you'd never tell these photos belong to a guy with 700k subscribers.
However in this bundle his tutorial is about growing the youtube channel, I think he understands how to gain popularity.
I don't find anything interesting for me in this bundle, but there may be some interesting stuff for someone. Just be aware, these days there's lots of free educational stuff on Youtube, you just need to carefully filter out the rubbish content.

What do you guys think between this Tokina, the Sigma ART, and the Voigtlander 50mm F1.2? The Voigtlander is MF but its also a lot lighter and compact, and F1.2 and is about the same price.

I have the 50Art and love it.
My old Tokina 16-50mm F2.8 image quality is OK, and mechanical quality is heavy dutty.
I have no experience with Voigtlander , but the ones i have see is poor in sharpness wide open.

I've been looking around and Capture One and the new On1 offerings.

They both still offer purchasing licenses...but they also now are offering subscription...ugh....I hate that they are even offering it.

But different strokes for different folks.

On1 subscriptions are for all of the online learning "how to video" content, not the actual application.

When they introduce ON1 360° there will also be subscriptions for cloud storage.

I am upgrading from the 5D4 as well but I am much more excited about other aspects. The RF lenses are amazing, I tested out my new 85 1.2 DS the other day and it hits focus so much more reliably than the EF 1.2 - I am also moving to the 28-70 f2 for events (24-70 2.8 II was on my camera 90% of the time) and this new lens feels like a mix of that lens with portrait lens perks dual card slots, IBIS, eye tracking / animal eye tracking , RF mount, and significantly faster cards are all reasons to be very happy! From what people are saying it is going to be 44.7 Megapixels (as video ratio different to photography ratio) anyway

Click to expand...

44.9 MP when you make it 8,208 x 5,472 so both sides of 3:2 still images are divisible by 16 like every other Canon EOS sensor ever made.

In this german language video, a Canon product specialist introduces a video teaser of the R5, in which it appears to suggest that the sensor is 35mp?

Already discussed.

He is talking about extracting stills from (cropped to standard stills aspect ratio) raw video feed.

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.*"

Click to expand...

“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.

I know that you post lots of photos Alan ... but

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
