Tamron USA has begun teasing four new mirrorless lenses on their =68.ARDA5h3IgqrAjlk-fY6cYtu5U1QEcb87X3MsEp1If5yFbYBEPLvN4lYMwv4O2S_cQU-RwbxL8CRQIL5YCpptVR1qRaojc0Rdlrr096mSPSVjTt_8UONascWruXV3Pl8YYT1Jae1YnF9Dxsp9N4De62L4ZjRHELBGSeOaYThiHBVyACcl4-NA6sQysV-jFH-v6MoOBciiBo7ksst5o6nLJKWQRnXmhGvp8TMFv95Ykr92IYTEHjCdPMwEqYU9L2eb8ykdIFLZGmyr3sGC8Pxh9Wl5JKbIXYN2SYUyvdrt5IIgCf3-xGaF5t88qJSkDzpuAMYWisdD1OYipaWZPk9ym4PVss1DDw&__tn__=-R]Facebook page.
There’s no mention of what the four lenses are as of yet, or what mount(s) these lenses will be available for. I think it’s still a bit early to see third party autofocus lenses for Canon’s RF mount from Tamron or SIGMA, but surprises do happen.
Tamron currently has 2 mirrorless lenses for Sony’s FE mount, so it’s likely these will be for Sony as well. Judging by the teaser, it looks like a telephoto zoom lens and three prime lenses are coming.

We are a week away from the official announcements for the Canon EOS 90D and Canon EOS M6 Mark II, two cameras that have pretty much leaked in full. Though there are some questions that still need to be answered, as the specification sheets did have some errors in them.
That said, with what you know already are you ready to put down your hard-earned money for either of these pretty impressive cameras (on paper)?

Hello all,

I ended up getting and receiving one of the ONDU 3 pinhole cameras, 6x12 Multi-format ones.

I've been looking at what films to try....thinking B&W first.

Does anyone have recommendations?

I've read you should get decently fast film, due to potential long exposure times.

Looking at maybe:

ILFORD Film, maybe the Delta 400 Film
or maybe:
Kodak Tri-X 400

And even for color I think the Kodak Portra films?

anyway, can someone give me a recommendation on where to start please?

Also, while I think eventually I'd like to try to do my own developing, while I'm trying out exposures and taking notes to compare, I'd like to use a lab to develop and take that variable out of the equation.

Can someone recommend a good lab to develop my 120 film?

I'm thinking I"ll try my hand at scanning them myself, but would like recommendations on where to send them to be developed.

Thank you all in advance!!

I apologize to all I offended by saying DSLR is dead. I am sorry. Too much attitude. Am sorry.
It obviously is not dead.

I'm not saying this will ever happen, but there are a lot of smart guys here who will know how to calculate this. I'm wondering what the size (front filter thread or front element?) of a 70-135 f/1.8, f/2 or 70-150mm might be, and whether or not it would be even practical from a size point of view. With what Canon has been producing lately, I am wondering whether there is a possibility that Canon would make a shorter zoom than a 70-200 f/2.8 with a wider aperture. For a guy that focuses almost exclusively on portraits, model boot camps, or fashion show runways, something faster and shorter would be really nice in a zoom, from my perspective.

With the release of the 90D, I believe we can get a pretty good idea of Canon's product roadmap over the next 18-24 months.

EOS Rs --Apprx. 83 mp sensor, probably only one version and it will not have an anti-aliasing filter, may be the first Canon body with in-body image stabilization. Otherwise, I expect it will be virtually the same body as the EOS R -- sorry guys, no joystick for you. It's no longer needed with touchscreen focusing. Don't plan on a second card slot either.

1Dx III -- Evolutionary design with improved eye and face detection focusing the major feature. Some increased coverage of autofocus points. Sensor somewhere in the 30-40 mp range. May have IBIS, but only if Canon is confident of the durability and reliability of the feature in a camera built to be abused. I'd give it about 50/50 odds. Incremental increase in frame rate. CFast and SD card slots.

EOS Rx -- Same sensor as the 1Dx III. Frame rate equals or exceeds the 1Dx III. Same autofocus, but with 100% viewfinder coverage. Same battery. Same card slots.

EOS R7d -- APS-C version -- This is something of a unicorn. A few months ago I would have given it no chance, but with Nikon preparing to release an APS-C mirrorless I think the chances go up, but still probably only about 50/50 and it will be the last of the EOS R models to be released -- only after the Rs and Rx.

EOS R II -- Those unhappy with the EOS R and looking for what they consider to be a true equivalent to the 5D series are in for a disappointment. The market won't sustain that many full frame bodies and Canon feels the EOS R is that equivalent. If you want more, you will have to wait for the EOS R II -- probably three years out, but maybe just two.

5D V -- Yes, there will be a 5D V, but it's too early to make any predictions about what it will include.

APS-C DSLRs -- Canon will continue to make and sell Rebels and the 90D II etc., so long as the market is there. Many enthusiasts still prefer the DSLR form factor, so the 90D line is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. Many people still consider the DSLR form factor to be what a "real" camera looks like, so don't expect Canon to abandon their Rebels any time soon.

EOS M -- I don't follow this series, but I'm sure there will be another model that has an integrated viewfinder, but incorporates the other features of the new M6. As long as the ~~niche~~ market for small and portable exists, the M line will be around.

Okay, in the immortal words of Harry Film, you heard it here first. That's my prediction, feel free to make your own and then bookmark this thread to see who comes closest to being correct.

This little (not) treasure was delivered today. I took some quick shots of my grandson. I tried eye AF and servo. He is too quick for eye AF and I am too slow on the trigger.

I can't remember whether this was taken in eye AF or servo. If I had to guess, I would say servo. He just never stops moving around and I had a split second to capture this. I'll get a better idea about just how sharp it is when I have a model that will be still. We all know toddlers are never still.

The only editing was a crop, lowering exposure by about 1/2 stop, and a little noise reduction for noise in the background. It is quite dark in our apt., so I expected a little noise in the background. I think the colors are great, and it locks focus quickly.

I need some advice on how to order from Adorama so that this website can get affiliate money to help out. I have to really praise Adorama's service. Big ticket items are sent next business day air. It goes further than that though. After ordering the lens I placed a second order for a flash that was supposed to be sent ground. Adorama sent both orders next day business air. They came in separate boxes, so somebody must have been paying attention. I'm not even a VIP 360 member.

Edit: I meant one shot or servo.

The-Digital-Picture have completed their review of the brand new Tamron 35mm f/1.4 Di USD, a lens Tamron claims to be their best ever.
Does it hold up to Tamron’s claims?
You typically buy a wide aperture lens to use at its widest aperture. Often, the aperture selected on my mounted prime lens does not leave the wide-open setting. Unfortunately, the image quality at the wide-open aperture is so often not amazing, typically showing reduced resolution and contrast. The good news is that this lens turns in very nice image quality even at f/1.4.
The Tamron 35mm f/1.4 Di USD Lens delivers very sharp full frame corner-to-corner results with a wide-open f/1.4 aperture. Stopping down to f/2 brings a noticeable bump in contrast and another slight increase can be seen at f/4 where the results are very impressive. Read the full review

Over the last week or so, our inbox has become really quiet as far as EOS 90D and EOS M6 Mark II announcements go. It’s surprising that this close to the August 28, 2019 announcement for each camera that we aren’t hearing new things almost daily.
Interestingly, we have been told by a couple of Canon dealers around the globe that Canon is setting up major training and showcasing of new products in early September, one of the retailers told us that this training seems to be above and beyond what Canon usually does for a new consumer EOS DSLR and EOS M cameras. This tells us that either these new products are a big departure from their previous iterations, or there could be another product being announced that hasn’t leaked at all. Canon has become really good at stopping leaks.
We have heard that an EOS M5 Mark II is coming, and was originally going to be announced alongside the EOS M6 Mark II, but has been delayed. There has been no word on when we can expect a new flagship EOS M...

Colleagues --
I was very happy to see the 5D4 firmware upgrade to allow voice memo recordings on my 5D4. (I'm a photojournalist.) I had CPS install this at once.

My question is: can this be made to record the WAV file to BOTH cards, or only one?

My default setting on my 5D4 bodies are to "record to multiple cards", meaning that each image I take is recorded identically to both the CF and th SD cards.

But my WAV files show up only on one card. In my "Record function-card/folder select', when I set it to 2, the WAV file is only recorded to 2, not to 1, the CF card.

Is there a setting allowing recording to both cards?

Thank you all for your assistance and advice.

John

In a couple of weeks, we’ll see the Canon EOS 90D released, a camera that has been rumored for quite some time to be a replacement for both the EOS 80D and EOS 7D Mark II. If the EOS 90D is more 80D than EOS 7D Mark II, then there could be a perceived hole in Canon’s lineup without an APS-C wildlife/sports camera.
Over the last couple of weeks, we have received some more mentions of an EOS R series camera with an APS-C sensor still being “considered” by Canon and that testing for such a camera has taken place.
The same source did mention that there are no plans for any sort of RF-S lenses, which would make a lot of sense as the development of the EF-S lineup seems to be have been abandoned beyond updated kit lenses.
More to come…

Starting a thread in the hopes of learning and sharing advice on using the EOS R. Not interested in people's opinion on the R generally. Instead I'm looking for practical advice from other R users.

Specifically, to start the thread off:

Advice on using the bar thingy – How are people using this? I've tried using it change the autofocus selection method and number of points selected. While it's quick and can be convenient, I find that the bar is so close to the rear screen that I am constantly changing the number of autofocus points in the middle of shooting. I've tried the "tap" settings but they seem to be completely random. Working sometimes and doing absolutely nothing other times.

If you are not using the bar to change the autofocus points/zones, how are you selecting the number of points? (Not talking about picking a particular point to focus on, but rather the selection of how many points are active)

How are people using the control ring on the lens? I've used it exclusively for changing ISO. I've found that very handy, but wondering what others are using it for.

Anyone else find the location of the control ring on the 24-105 annoying? I think the position on the control ring adapter is far more intuitive and wish Canon had placed the ring at the back of the lens on the native mount RF lenses (I only own the 24-105 RF, so I don't know where the ring is located on other lenses.)

Anyone using the FV mode? I can't figure out why sometimes to allows you to change exposure compensation and sometimes it doesn't. What's the deal with that?

I'm sure I will have more questions, but I hope these will get a discussion started.

Canon News has uncovered a patent showing how to increase dynamic range using DPAF equipped sensors.
Here’s a breakdown of Canon Japan Patent Application 2019-129491:
The basic idea is that during read mode, one half of the pixel is amplified at one level, and the other half is amplified at another level. reading the two simultaneously and processing can increase the dynamic range of the sensor. Basically dual ISO.
It should be noted that the patent does mention in-vehicle sensors, but can also be applied to any other type of sensor as well.

Canon Rumors · Aug 12, 2019

We have been told that Canon is working on an EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM equivalent for the RF mount, though the lens may not have a matching focal length range.
We have been told on more than one occasion that Canon is working on an RF 200-500mm L zoom and that we could see it in late 2020.
The same source says that the long-rumoured EF supertelephoto zoom development was killed off “quite some time ago” as focus on new lens designs moves to the RF mount.
