Does anybody of you use an Sony A9 on Canon glass?
How is it performing?
What´s your experience in using it?

Thanks

After abandoning Canon a couple of years ago, I'm back. I missed it. :-[
I recently got a 5D IV with 100-400 L II and TC 1.4x. I already owned the 50L which I love.
I'm trying to decide if it would make sense to add a fast prime to my kit like 35 1.4 II L or sell the 50mm, while getting 16-35 F4L and 24-70 2.8 L.
Would I miss the 50L with the 24-70? I don't shoot very often at 1.2/1.4

thank you for any advice!

<p><strong>Meet our new lens – create magic</strong></p>
<p>Dear Meyer-Optik-Görlitz friend,</p>
<p><strong><em>We are very excited and proud to introduce you to the next in our oustanding line of art lenses – the Lydith 30mm f3.5</em></strong></p>
<p>One of the widest lenses in the Meyer-Optik lineup, the Lydith will impress you with its versatility at all distances. Exceptional sharpness, contrast and colour fidelity and it’s wonderful ability to create images with that indefinable magic is how this lens can best be described. It is a lens that will allow you to creatively capture those “magic moments”.</p>
<p>Designed in the late 1950s and introduced in 1964, the modern version of the Lydith will be updated with high-perfomance lens coatings and a short minimum focusing distance of 8 inches (16 cm). Like all of Meyer-Optik’s lenses, the Lydith will be fully manual, 100 percent handmade in Germany.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>We think you are going to fall in love with the way it renders colors, its exceptional sharpness and, of course, it’s signature creamy bokeh not only in the background but also in the front.</p>
<p>Don’t miss out – visit our Kickstarter now and be one of the first in the world to own the modern version of this classic lens.</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>
<p>Dr. Stefan Immes and the Meyer-Optik Team</p>

There is a report that the follow-up to the Canon EOS M10 will be coming on July 20 alongside the EOS 6D Mark II and EOS Rebel SL2. Again, we cannot confirm this and this is the first time we’ve heard about the EOS M20.</p>
<p>The M10 was announced back in October of 2015, so a replacement is highly probable. We’d expect an incremental update to the latest image sensor and DIGIC 7.</p>
<p>More to come once we confirm it.</p>

The Canon EOS-M System was in a kind of try and error phase for a pretty long time. No competitive bodies and very little amount of glass. The situation had completely changed for the bodies with the wonderful EOS M5 which I reviewed a couple of month ago. But what´s about the glass? So far just 2 prime lenses from Canon. There is one very interesting lens out which I got with the camera (ok, 2 or 3 days later...) And this is the EF-M 28mm f 3.5 IS USM...Mainly there are 2 features:

The build in LED-Ilumination
The 1.2 magnification (so called Super Macro)

The lens is pretty new - released in May 2016. There is no other comparable lens with build in illumination on the market (not for general photography - it is a feature which is common in microscopy...). The only one which comes close it the EF-S 35mm f2.8 Macro IS STM - but this is a 35mm and has a maximum magnification of 1...

Verdict
This little lens is worth every cent I payed for it. I do love it, especially for product photos and flowers. For those who want to have just one lens: this lens is an option. In terms of versatility hard to beat. Bit it comes with a slow aperture - which is a bit sad...Another strong point: it is the cheapest macro lens Canon is offering today. @ 300€ it is priced pretty reasonable - especially in comparison for the quality the lens delivers.

I do strongly recommend this lens! It is another strong argument for the EOS-M Camera line up!

Wanting some thoughts/advice for a begginer with lighting.

Currently invested with a Canon 580 (ver1) and a Canon 320 flash. I've had some success with using flash off-cam using canon 7d and 80d onboard flash to control
for macros and some portrait shooting, but would like to get better results.

Been thinking of adding a 3rd flash (430 v3) and getting Neewer softboxes (vs umbrella) or going with a Medium (Aputure?) and 2 smaller LED panels and some sort of diffuser.

I recognize the LED panels will have a shorter range, but trading off being able to see what I'm doing at all times (also don't have a studio, so space/portability important).
Both are portable, more or less cost effective solutions (under $600).

Any advice from more experienced folks?

Seeing reports of the new Panasonic video camera that uses the EF Mount, brings to mind something I've wondered about for some time.

Lots of third-party manufacturers make EF mount lenses. Yet, I've often wondered why there aren't some third-party camera manufacturers making EF mount bodies. For example, if Sigma made their bodies with Canon EF Mounts, it seems like they could compete a lot more effectively.

It's too late for Sony now, but I wonder if it would have been a smarter move for them to reverse-engineer the Canon mount and spend less time and energy making inferior lenses.

I would not be at all surprised if in a few years we see a Yongnuo body with Canon mount.

Imagine the benefits to consumers, if you could order a camera body from a third-party manufacturer in an EF mount, just like video cameras. Again using Yongnuo as an example, I could see them producing a 5DIII knockoff and selling it for under $1,000.

Hi folks,

I posted a couple of days ago asking for your thoughts on both the Canon and the Sigma 135mm lenses.

Having decided on the Canon, I've just been into Jessops (UK store) who told me that only a few of their stores have them in stock as the lens has been discontinued! They are bringing one over from another store for me to have a look at.

Is this true??? The sales chap double checked the stock, and checked with the store manager.

Thanks.

After years on being a still shooter, I have just started video. I caught a bit of the bug on my last trip to view waterfalls. I shot video on that trip, but was not really impressed with it. I am preparing for another trip, so I wanted to go out and get some test videos before my next trip. I am not pleased with the results. However, I am not sure if it is 1) technique or 2) post processing. I am shooting with a 5D3 and for these three videos, I used a 16-35 2.8L lens, 24fps 1080. I shot at the lowest ISO possible in increments of 160. I was at 1/30th for 24 frames per second. I selected my aperture based on light reading. I used technicolr's cine camera style (which I am aware is specifically more for post processing.) However, I feel the video is horrible. It is not what I expect from my camera. In particular, you can really see how the video is hammered on the tree in the last video. It's just doesn't seem HD. Can some one point me in a direction? What can I do to make my videos better? Thanks for your advice.

I've got a 5DIII firmware 1.2.1 that I took to Europe with me. 2nd day in I noticed when I use all the AF points with a 24-105 mark I
it is hunting, to the point that AF is basically useless. This was in bright light at the beach in Holland, so light should not be an issue.

Here's the weird thing, when I put the camera in full auto mode it works just fine, it seems to hunt in M/Tv/Av. This is in one-shot mode, not AI-servo.

Maybe it's just the nature of the beast, it hunts more at wide angle because it has more to lock onto, but I'm not used to it running the focus ring back and forth forever, that's never happened before. Hard to believe I've never used all the focus points with a 24mm lens.
It's possible because I mostly shoot sports on the center point or the center cross.

Is this normal? Or did one of the kids drop the camera?

I just tried with the 16-35 III - same thing, it hunts like crazy when using all the points. Works fine with a 3x3 in the center. Move it over to the far right or up from and it hunts like crazy. Any ideas? Something is clearly not right with some of the AF points.

Other info: pulled the lens, put it into movie mode and started it, looked at the sensor, it's perfectly clean, mirror is clean, the glass at the top of the camera looks aligned and clean. So what can make some of the AF points die? Is this fixable or time for a 5DIV?

Wishing I had taken the 1DX instead, it's heavy but the focus works :'(

So i sold my Canon 70D, and thinking its time to move up in the world.

I played around with the 80D, which cwould be a step up form the 70D, but i wnat a bigger upgrade.

I like the 5D IV, but the tilt screen on the upcoming 6D II is very attractive for me.

im prob, 70% video and 30% photo.

i know the 5d IV 4k isnt the best, but i always shoot 1080p 60fps as its just an easier format to work with for youtube.

i know the 6d II isnt far away, announcement expected July and release in August, but i dunno if i can hold off that long.

I still have my 24-70mm 2.8 II L lens so Im sticking with canon.

plus i have a wedding to go to next week and would like to have a camera. (im not the photographer but would like to take pictures).

anyways, do you guys think i would be missing out on the 6D II if I got the 5D IV ?

Would the 6D II have features (asside from the potential tilt screen) that the 5D IV wouldnt have?

Really on the fence about this.

Hi,

I am looking to purchase a monitor for photo editing. I have a HP ENVY TouchSmart 15 Notebook PC that I bought about 2+ years back. I have been editing pictures on the laptop screen but I feel restricted by the 1366 x 768 resolution. My hardware vendor suggested the BenQ BL2420PT which is a QHD monitor which claims to have a resolution of 2560 x 1440 px. Has anyone used it? Would love to hear feedback about it. The specs are available at http://www.benq.com/product/monitor/bl2420pt/specifications/

Also if you think I should look at some other monitors please do suggest.

Look forward to your suggestions and advise.

Had to buy two lenses for the current rebate, and I'll never play this game again. Should have known better. Now complications with serial numbers because both lenses have to be on the same invoice.

This could happen at any authorized dealer, I suppose, so I'm not going to name names (as I expect to get it worked out).

One of the lenses, an ef 100mm Macro 2.8L IS, was clearly somebody else's return, as the pouch wasn't in a plastic bag, and the bag around the lens itself was really crumpled up.

Tested it, admittedly much more carefully than usual, and I feel that it's softer than it should be, seems to have more CA than expected at f/2.8. And I'm worried about why it was returned the first time.

As I packed it up, I noticed that the top and bottom Styrofoam packing elements each had identical notches cut into them. Each notch was wedge shape, like you might see on a pig's ear, roughly a half inch deep into the edge of the Styrofoam. I checked the same pieces in a few other lens boxes I've kept over the years and saw no such notch. The other lens that came in the same order also had no notches in the Styrofoam pieces.

Anybody keep their old boxes to check for similar notches in the Styrofoam, if not too big a pain? Thanks!

I'm wondering if the notches indicate a return (maybe inspected?) or some other "special" situation with a Canon lens...?

Anybody else have stories about getting obviously repacked lenses?

Just wondering if Canon's 2 latest TCs (1.4 and 2.0) are still going to be the mark3 versions for the foreseeable future, or if a mark4 version (of either of them) is perhaps coming?

I googled and the mark3 seems to be the latest (of both the 1.4 and 2.0)

I'm asking because I want to be sure I'm not going to buy something now if there's a new model coming soon (soon being sometime this year)

Thanks in advance (for easing my mind and my little wallet)

DXOMark has completed their review of the Sigma 500mm f/4 DG OS USM S supertelephoto lens. Like most of the new Sigma lenses over the last three years, this one performs quite well when compared to the Canon version.</p>
<p><strong>From DXOMark</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Head-to-head against the Canon EF 500 f/4L IS II USM, the Sigma 500mm f/4’s image quality compares very favorably. The Canon lens is fractionally sharper on the 5DS R, but the Sigma offers a modest improvement in resolution on the 1D X Mark II and 5D Mark IV. To be fair, there’s very little to separate them in real-world terms on any of these DSLRs, however, making the Sigma 500mm f/4 a great value option. <a href="https://www.dxomark.com/Reviews/Sigma-500mm-f-4-DG-OS-USM-S-Canon-lens-review-Super-sharp-shooter">Read the full review</a></p></blockquote>
<p>We’re not sure how many of these Sigma is going to sell, as it will be quite difficult to sell a $6000 lens for a Canon system that isn’t a Canon product. If you own one, sound off in the forums about it’s real world performance.</p>
