coverage of EF lenses

nice experiment, thanks for sharing! You can edit your post if there's a typo...
Thanks. I know that but just didn’t bother.

BTW, I now have the GF 20–35mm lens. It is exceptional. I can’t think of a use for the excellent EF 16–35mm on either camera any more, but am not inclined to sell it just yet. The EF 100–400mm works great on both bodies and will serve my telephoto needs for the foreseeable future. I can crop out corners manually, or I can use the 35mm mode on the 100S for the same format but more pixels. On a photo excursion I could see using both bodies with the telephoto left on the Canon.

C200 Multicam workflow

I've admitted defeat; there is no way to get a clean SDI out and see OSD simultaneously on the Canon display or the HDMI out. So, C200 users, how are you connecting to your SDI switcher? I've got a Black Magic mini converter gaffe taped to my tripods to convert the clean-out from the HDMI to SDI. This seems so wrong and really grinds my gears. Is there a better option?

Advice: Used R5 R6 mk ii for Hockey

Hi Hitechi
I am also in the business of shooting junior ice hockey since my dear grandson is playing it. I started shooting it many years ago with EOS 5D MKIV, the results were good. In 2020 I switched to R5 and I am using it regularly now. I dont have experience on R6 II but personally I am not missing anything while using my R5. The speed on 20 fps is quite fast enough believe me. And on account on R5:s higher MP You can do heavy cropping. So my opinion is; choose R5.

R5 Freezing with Clog3

No error sadly, but i have other issues now that i shoot without clog. When i record, and go to playback to watch, the playing stops randomly. Then i watch the recording on my pc without stops but i can see artefacts appears exactly when the footage stops on my canon body.
Hmm, maybe a lemon then. I'd call up Canon for sure if you're at a dead end.

Cosina teases their first RF mount lens

My Zeiss EF lens allows for the manual focusing guide when I adapt it so I would guess the Voigtlander would as well.
Thank you for the feedback. Honestly, I likely will pass on the lens since I already own the Canon RF 28-70 mm f2 which is much more flexible. Moreover, if the rumored retail price of $1800 is correct that is very close to the Canon 50 mm f1.2 which adds AF.

Why won't I use Nikon... Really?

I get asked a lot about why I use Canon gear, and why I won't use Nikon...
Of course it's often framed as a choice between brands - but really it's about the lenses and what I use them for...
If anyone knows my work, I use and test a lot of tilt/shift lenses - that should be a big hint...

Anyway after another 'Why won't you use Nikon' question - I've a somewhat longer answer, going back to 2003 and when Nikon were saying that you don't need 'full frame'

Hope it's of interest ;-)

EF-R control ring query

1. The control ring function setting is stored in the camera body and is applied to every RF lens and to every EF+control ring adapter combination you mount on this body.

2. Keeping the lens adapter on the body permanently is possible, although the lens fixing lock on the adapter is less convenient to use than the lens(/adapter) fixing lock button on the camera body.
Thanks Kit
I say permanently, but I picked up both 50/1.8 & 16mm. Doubt I’ll buy more. Still cave my M stuff along with DSLR’s Aps-C & H plus’s of course Full Frane too. My EF can be adapted to all, whereas RF cannot. There lies my reasoning….for the time being.

Point and Shoot Cameras are Basically Dead

Only for very casual or specific use. For 'real' action (think diving, car or motorcycle racing, fill-in-the-blank) the more compact and rugged form factor of a GoPro over a phone is much preferable.
Also, the price of a GoPro is much less than for a phone.
The water resistance of the iPhone and other smartphones are there when the phone is dropped into the toilet, a puddle, drinks, soup, sink, shower, and other typical accident situation.

More negative press for Canon

A Director of the Institute, Dr Taishi Sugiyama, was exposed a year ago by the Guardian (a quality left-of-centre UK newspaper) to be a promoter of extremist views and he is still in place.

Reading more about him, it seems he believes it economically unrealistic and too expensive for Japan to reach its low emission targets.

Watch the SIGMA live event

I have! Its quite depressing not to have access to any 3rd party AF lenses! When I entered the RF System, Canon had not put this in place yet! I sincerely hope the change their mind about this!
Depressing is correct word. Same here, i assumed Sigma and Tamron would be a (native) option. Never could have dreamed Canon would do this. It makes me salty. Im not ready to "jump ship" as that takes effort to sell everything but Canon made me an unwilling customer. 4000 per zoom down under, they are dreaming.
