It will definitely work, assuming the squeeze is constant across the frame. If you wan't to eyeball it, you can do a Free Transform of the whole frame and elongate on the side or shorten from the top to taste. (In latest PS versions, you will need to hold down the shift key to change the aspect ratio, unless you have changed the preference. (It works the other way for the Crop tool

ACR has an aspect ratio slider in the toolset that allows you to get rid of converging verticals and such. So if there is a similar slider in LR, that would be a way to do it.

Interesting suggestions.

Thank you!!

Very nice portraits, CFB. . Lovely Bokeh.

Thanks Click. It was windy and cold, so rushed.

How much be able to 12 x16 or 20x30 enlarge a similar image taken said smartphone vs said camera (all thing as equal as possible)? How long would take there great problems quality of one?

What would you say is the appropriate term to describe the change in FoV that comes from using a speedbooster?

"FoV factor?"

Luminar 4 supports CR3. I updated to Luminar 4 and was pleasantly surprised to see that it supports EOS R files.

Kuka makes Robotic arms. this looks like the integration of a robotic arm with a camera and turntable with the photos stored on Amazon AWS, thats implied by the name on the device.

It might be custom made for Amazon, they are always looking for ways to automate photography of the huge number of products they sell. The number photographed each day must be beyond belief, there are billions of products in their catalog.

That doesn't seem that bad.

I have the Tamron 18-200 made for the M mount, and it too is a bit wider, perhaps more so than this is (it takes a 62mm filter). It certainly doesn't feel like a boat anchor.

Canon *could* bend a little on their diameter fetish, I think, without sacrificing portability (and even if it is sacrificed...it doesn't make the lenses already out there less portable).

Agreed. I do like the lens a lot. If I had a need for faster shutter speeds at that focal length, I would definitely be happy snapping one up, knowing that it just wouldn't necessarily be for carting all over town.

I also agree that the more lens options the better. Just because a particular lens may not be the perfect fit for one person, doesn't make it that way for everyone else. Maybe for someone else it's their go-to lens!

The Atomos Ninja 5 website lists a number of codecs that it supports: https://www.atomos.com/ninjav
This other website lists more specs on the DNxHR codec: http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/White_Paper/DNxHR-Codec-Bandwidth-Specifications
Amongst them is the DNxHR LB codec "LB being low bitrate"... which targets 18.26 MB/s for 4K 24fps, and 4.31 MB/s for Full HD.

This is possibly what you are looking for... maybe a little more digging might get you the exact answer you need.

I saw someone posting 30um being ideal step size for focus rails when shooting at 5x mag ratio. So that is very thin region to focus.

Thanks for posting this review.

Great review as always from Bryan.


Although he posted a picture on Instagram from a Sony...

1.6 is available.
Here is Canon French page, but the firmware is the same for everyone https://www.canon.fr/support/consumer_products/products/cameras/digital_slr/eos-r.html?type=firmware

A little update - Venus have announced that the 100mm will be available in RF mount from March 2020.

...From everything I've seen here, the R is usuable for a lot of things (including things it has been denounced as absolutely useless for), but portraits are where it (and its lens selection) absolutely shine.

I'd probably have already made the jump, at least to an RP, if I did a lot of portraits. As it is I'm waiting to see what the next generation of R series cameras brings.

If the RF 16-35 f/4 has IS, it is likely to be a very interesting alternative to the RF 15-35 f/2.8.

Click to expand...

The 15-35 also has IS.

How do you like the 90D after some time with it in the field? I just ordered mine.

35mm is a great focal length to shoot portraits with. All my street photos and portraits are shot with a 35mm. https://eddrobertson.com/street-portraits/

Inspiring photos, thanks for the link

I wouldn't even consider it. I have uninstalled and reinstalled 5 times on my Mac now and every time it starts the first time then crashes on start up after that. Totally unusable.
When it does work on initial installation you'll find it's become a difficult to use scaled down shadow of its former (Luminar 3) self and in my personal opinion, not worth the outlay. You may disagree.

No IS? Tamron is doomed!!!

Hi again to all in Germany and nearby!

It's the season again and so the the German online shop AC-Foto does its annual Advent calendar "promotion" again.


This time you'll have to register - each day - each time - the day before the next day to get that offer then.
Stupid idea IMO but prices seem to be good once again.

So enjoy your GAS

As I don't like the idea of how this promo works this year I won't do any futher post here with additional info.
So look for yourself or leave it.

Peaceful and merry Christmas time to all of you!

I just ordered an RP with adapter and RF 35mm + Novoflex FD 2 RF adapter for just 1150 EUR - some offer I coudn't resist just with the knowledge of only 250 CIPA shots.
If I think back to the old days of 35mm film rolls with 36 images per roll I think 250 shots is just phantastic if you try to exclude non-working objects/settings BEFORE you switch on your camera!

My RP will be used for low light, narrow DOF photography and I will use it to decide if I keep my FD lens range or not (except e.g. 1.4 50mm S.S.C., 3.5 50mm S.S.C. macro and 2.5 135mm S.C. which were my first lenses I ever bought back in the late 1980s 2nd hand). And my two 5D classic bodies will go away!

Looking at the price of that unique offer I am fine with 1150 Euro for a FF camera with some basic movie capabilities and very reasonable photographic IQ - body only at a price close to an M50, so no 2nd M50 anymore.

Ok, I forgot that it was a "2018" release. Obviously, the cutoff is not December 31/January 1 since the 2019 list is already out.

But the EOS R wasn't nominated in 2018 either, while the forerunner of this year's "high end ILC" nominated and winner in the "innovation of the year" category Fuji GFX100 (that was supposedly so "innovative" for adding nothing new to the mix but just being the right mix of existing components that had not been previously seen - if the GFX100 was so revolutionary that it "... completely changed our understanding of what a medium format camera could be" then how could the GFX50R that it replaced have been so great? ) was nominated in the "high end ILC" category last year. As were two Micro Four-Thirds bodies from Panasonic, one of which was a fairly minor update to an already existing model.

Sorry, logic will get you nowhere.
