What I find funny, is the fact that the 2,8/24 IS seem to be noticeably better than the 1,4/24 IS II, according to LR
Can anyone confirm or infirm their results?(want to buy a 24mm, NOT the Sigma, already have the TSE...)

Each lens was tested at maximum aperture, so one MTF reading is at f2.8 and the other is at f1.4.

Hey, look at that, the company no longer exists. It's almost as if people have predicted this...

Cameras, TVs and mobile are now one company, with Sony deciding to remain the holding company, for now anyway.

Mobile was the worst preforming, by far, followed by cameras that Sony is showing in the black, after write-downs and sell-offs.

The new company, Electronics Products & Solutions (EP&S) will, for now anyway, be held by Sony. Analysts all over the planet are pointing out the old HS&E company, primarily TV's, will now have to float EP&S.

Good news for photographers since production and support should continue, pretty much, with no changes. No outside buy, like a Chinese buyer, so a bullet was dodged there.

As we started all of this: get your business news after camera companies from business sources, not camera/photography reviewers. There's still uncertainty about the company and products, but the next couple years should be fairly stable and predictable.

Be careful though, as cameras from Sony are more precarious in the long term then cameras from a restructured Nikon (have just missed bankruptcy last year), and far, far more precarious than an absolutely rock solid Canon.

The seller, unfortunately, will be the one who ends up paying for this having paid postage and having a used lens to sell at a discount.

I'm not sure I get your drift there AlanF... is there some point to that?

The mount is probably the DJI DL mount: diameter 58mm, flange focal distance 16.84mm.

Since the Zenmuse X7 includes a Super35 sensor a 21mm makes sense.

Tossing in my 2c regarding sealing on internal focusing lenses. My 70-200 f2.8 ii got a grain of sand caught in the focusing assembly - I could hear it grinding if I turned the focus ring. I didn't drop it in sand or anything like that, though it briefly shared a bag with a towel that had some sand on it. It actually wasn't a problem during AF, and I hardly ever use MF on that lens, but that sensation of grinding sand was too much to bear, and I ended up getting it repaired.

Thank you for all the responses. I ended picking up a couple of ze lenses for my R and they work perfectly with the focus guides.

Looks like they welded the EF to RF mount on their existing line

Given how much some people irrationally hate adapters, I think it's a solid business move. (I realize that some adapters have some issues, but these are MF lenses, and the Canon adapter is flawless by all accounts)

Full pricing over on Newsshooter. 55k bade. About 70k for a ready to go package. No licenses. Codex add-ons surprisingly down to earth.

Picked up a refurb 80D! It was out of stock until today. My first new camera since T2i in 2011

I dealt with Ken in the 1980s when he did have a store I was 23 and just out of art school. I had no credit card. Ken would put a camera in my hands like a Hasselblad and say take it home see how you like it. No credit card, no nothing he just trusted. I was not the only one. Plenty of people he helped get there start. He is great man we should all hope for a miracle.

If Canon makes a QPAF sensor, would it be debayered same as DPAF (= sum four sub pixels of same color, and interpolate colors same as non *PAF sensor), or would it gain by adding four adjacent sub pixels as in the orange squares, and not interpolating color at all?

Antono Refa said:

I'm wondering whether the sensor would really be 70MP, it's just 35MP w/ DPAF or 18MP w/ QPAF.

Click to expand...

Canon has shown 120, 200 and 250MP APS-H sensors already, so it could be 70MP w/ QPAF and QP-RAW would have 240MP.

pretty much as expected, but two weeks later than my prediction of the end of March. I wish they had the Focus Bracketing though

Got a «confirmed» on the new firmware from Canon today.

No release date, but new info soon and release of the firmware “within a few weeks”.

Woohoo. Can't wait. I hope it has the goodies we are expecting.

I like mine (Rolleiflex) too!

Unfortunately (for me) I knew about this with the 1DX2, but I was hoping that there was some way to do it with the lesser cameras

The 5d4 can do ftp from the onboard wifi as well. Not just jpg, raw too, you choose. One of my criteria for buying the 5d4 was whether or not the wifi was as $h!te as the lesser cameras. Thankfully it's not. Then again it also has two card slots as well

Wifi on my 760D might as well not be there, when you connect to the canon camera connect app all of the controls on the camera get disabled, you have to do everything via the app. However not all settings are available, so for some stuff you have to disconnect, change the setting, reconnect. Even a snail has time to disappear while you're doing all of that

Sorry for Zeiss, their camera is certainly excellent, but I'd prefer by far the more versatile Leica Q2!
The Zeiss is far to heavy for a single-lens camera, and will certainly cost a fortune. Maybe real experts like the Kardashians or Justin Bieber will buy a few...

Leica is the whore of the camera world.

Rather a very expensive callgirl!

Actually the lens is 7.9mm f/4 for 1-inch (13.2 mm x 8.8 mm, aspect ratio 3:2) sensor which is equivalent to approximately 24mm field of view (about 84 degrees) of full frame. That is, it's light gathering capability is much less than F4 on full frame (something close to f/12, I guess). But rather impressive for such a small camera.

Why mostly are Canon ?

Adorama just made a link to put all their E+ rated Canon items under one tab so Canon users could find them easier. They have a good selection of other used brands as well, it's just a link they created so Canon users would not have to sort through other brands.

Thanks a lot! That helps!!!

The https://www.adorama.com/caxf405.html?utm_source=rflaid64393 XF405 SPEC sheet mentions 4k@60Hz asupport. Maybe the articke can get updated..

Not sure how I feel about RF lenses focused manually for video anyway, I think no matter how they tweak it, fly-by-wire manual focus is just not as good as mechanical linkage. And I don't think we will see cinema lenses in RF-mount any time soon. Apart from pushing 8K (which I honestly don't see much point in) RF lenses don't seem to be that necessary for video usage right now, what they would do is open up possibilities to adapt a much wider range of vintage stills glass to their cameras for video, therefore killing some of their own lens sales. Does not seem that logical to me to be honest.

The E-mount camcorders with an even shorter flange have ND built-in, so it should be even less of an issue to make an RF-mount camera with built-in ND as well.

As autofocus continues to make it's way into professional cinematography (pulling focus by touch screen, while not exactly the same as having a 1st AC on set, is nonetheless an art that is coming of age, and I have no doubt that as video crews continue to shrink, AF on large sensor video cameras will continue to win converts.) Certainly a lot of discussion over at CML about it. All current cinema EOS cameras offer DPAF, so suggesting that RF is at some disadvantage here is probably not relevant. EF cinema lenses can easily mount on an RF mount camera, so the need for a set of cinema lenses in RF mount is probably low on the roadmap. However, having canon's best new glass sidelined by lack of an RF mount cinema camera, ( or the inability to port those designs over to expensive cinema zooms -- MF or AF) is a big deal for Canon. They make their money in glass, always have, and their strategy going forward will continue that course.

As for ND fitting in the RF mount. My suggestion was that the current cinema EOS mechanism might not fit, and that it might be an obstacle in terms of development time, not that they couldn't do it.

Can AFMA in Nikon Z6/7 for adapted DSLR lenses? I have had mirrorless systems since NEX3/EPL1 and never ever needed AF correction. I think some Sony cameras also have AF correction menus but that's only required if you use LE-XXX adapter.
