Canon Auto-Focus explained 2025.

I wasn't sure where to post this, but here it goes. I watched the original featuring Rudy Winston when it came out. They are back for a 2025 refresh. Even old dogs can learn things from this vid. Required viewing for most IMO.

Absence of something wider than 18mm on crop sensors

Been exploring crop sensors for a bit now and only recently, I decided to give a try on the older Efs15-85 having realized that I didn't use so much the reach part of my 18-135.

And I wanted to try out this 15-18mm range to get an idea of what it would look like with a more traditional 24mm on a full frame camera.

In my use case, I was a bit surprised at how wide 15mm actually is and that it almost nullified the need for a dedicated UWA lens.

I ended up thinking about why it was the only lens on Canon crop systems to achieve that 15mm at the wide end, a field of view that seemed really like a staple to me on full frame cameras.

Attempting to look up a bit, I discovered that there actually were a lot of 28mm-X on older EF lenses through the ages. I would not have bet on it given the number of 24-X zooms on mirrorless systems and the compromises around the development of a recent 28-70mm to achieve a better aperture.

I was curious to ask here to some much more well versed in optics history what made this 24mm range something that normal on full frame in recent times but didn't on crops sensors

All thoughts appreciated

CIPA November 2024: The Rise of the Compact

If you have been listening to me at all last year (and if you haven’t.. why the heck not?), one thing I have noted is that there’s a weird renaissance happening with compact cameras, especially in Japan.

Canon 2000d - LCD issue

Hello :)


I'm considering buying a Canon 2000D whose LCD doesn't work, I would like to know if you can give me some advice, the price is €50 but I would like to know if there are cables that could be the problem and need to be replaced and what are their prices? The LCD screen could cost around €30.


Any advice about how fix the issue on that camera ?

CFexpress card reader mounted in new PC build -- possible?

Hey all,

Finally joining this decade and picking up an R5 Mark II before too long.

I've always been an SD card shooter on my 5D for convenience and the lack of a high speed shooting need. But I'm giving that a rethink in light of pre-continuous shooting with the R5 II and my ever-so-slight uptick in shooting birds/wildlife (it's rare, but when I need a buffer I really need it). So CFexpress seems likely for me.

And I'll be building a new PC soon as well. So this thread is about the reader itself: I hate loose, dangly readers on my physical desktop, they almost always require two hands to insert a card, the cords are annoying and I don't place things like that on top of my computer case. I prefer a dedicated card slot like I've enjoyed with SD all these years.

PC Case manufacturers never made case-integrated CF readers that I can recall. Instead, component manufacturers used to make mountable modules for the front of PCs (similar to how an optical drive sits) for card readers:

Do they make those for CFexpress? I did a quick scan of New Egg and B+H and I'm not seeing anything.
