Seems like the Otus is much sharper @ the center, but the Sigma is better at the corners.

I was just doing a little bit of research for an upcoming trip and deciding which lens,TC and body combinations I would use and to do so referred to the camera manual on AF performance. I came up with some interesting facts which lead me to think that the manuals( which I downloaded from Canon' website) are inaccurate.
The manual suggests a 70-200f2.8 Mk2 mounted on a 7D2 would produce 45 cross-type and another 20 standard AF points.
The much more recent 1DX2 would have only 21 cross-type and 40 standard AF points. That was a surprise to me given the performance of the 1DX2.
I then looked at the performance of the 100-400 Mk2 with a 1.4TC added. According to the 7D2 manual you would have one centre point cross-type and 4 surrounding standard points. Look through the viewfinder (with the lens attached) at the illuminated points and indeed that is all you can get however, according to the 1DX2 manual you should get 1 centre cross-type and 8 standard others.In actual fact you can push the AF point around all 61 available ones so the manual is inaccurate.
Canon are certainly under selling the performance of the 100-400Mk2 on a 1DX2 and in fact I wonder if the information in the 1DX2 manual is just copied from the 1DX with no reference to the improved performance with all lens and TC combinations.
Other areas of the manual are updated but I wonder if there are more gaping errors, particularly ones that might influence future purchases of lenses in particularly.
I am reading it right am I not?

<strong>February 3, 2017, Saitama, Japan</strong> – Tamron Co., Ltd. (President & CEO: Shiro Ajisaka), a leading manufacturer of optics for diverse applications, announces the launch of a new telephoto zoom lens product, the SP 70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di VC USD (Model A030) (hereinafter called “Model A030”), for 35mm full-frame DSLR cameras. Model A030 was developed by substantially enhancing the features of the popular SP 70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di VC USD (Model A005) (hereinafter called “Model A005”), which has enjoyed high acclaim since its launch in 2010 as a telephoto zoom lens with outstanding performance. With the external design completely revamped, a Fluorine Coating with outstanding durability is applied to the front element surface of the lens. Improvements have also been achieved in AF speed and responsiveness and VC (Vibration Compensation) functions. Model A030 will be sold only in the Japanese market.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p><strong>Product Highlights</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Improvements in AF speed and responsiveness</strong>

Improvements in the control circuit and AF algorithm of the previous Model A005 have enhanced both focusing speed and accuracy, which enables a moment to be captured without letting the photo opportunity slip away, and which makes the A030 a suitable lens for photographing fast-moving subjects.</li>
<li><strong>Improved VC functions</strong>

Improving Tamron’s unique VC (Vibration Compensation) functions has improved the responsiveness of the VC lens elements, and Model A030 achieves a higher image stabilization performance level of 4.0 stops according to the Camera & Imaging Products Association (CIPA) standard.</li>
<li><strong>External design renovated</strong>

The zoom ring and focus ring using linear-based grid patterns and the brand ring in tungsten silver create an external design with a high-grade feel.</li>
<li><strong>Equipped with Fluorine Coating to improve user-friendliness for the lens</strong>

The front surface of the lens element is coated with a protective fluorine compound that is water- and oil-repellant. The lens surface is easier to wipe clean and is less vulnerable to the damaging effects of dirt, dust, moisture and fingerprints.</li>

DXOMark has completed their review of the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 Art series lens, and apparently they like it!</p>
<p><strong>From DXOMark:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>With its Art series, Sigma has done much to improve its standing as a high-end lens maker. Until only recently, Canon and Nikon were on safe ground with their high-speed primes, but makers such as Sigma and Tamron (and Zeiss) are beginning to make inroads. While all the full-frame Art series lenses are excellent performers optically, the latest model in the range is also its best. It also happens to be the most expensive to date, but the $1,199 asking price seems reasonable. That it outperforms the Zeiss Milvus and outrageously expensive Otus equivalents probably says enough for most people — and that’s even before discussing the merits of autofocus versus manual on high-speed lenses like this. <a href="https://www.dxomark.com/Reviews/Sigma-85mm-F1.4-Art-lens-review-New-benchmark">Read the full review</a></p></blockquote>
<p>That’s definitely some amazing praise bestowed on the new king from Sigma. I love the Tamron 85mm f/1.8 VC, but this may have piqued my interest in trying out this Sigma 85mm lens.</p>

Jopa · Feb 2, 2017

I'm wondering why no 5dsr results? Do they afraid to give Canon a higher "score" because the lens probably resolves way too much?
https://www.dxomark.com/Lenses/Sigma/Sigma-85mm-F14-DG-HSM-A-Nikon-mounted-on-Nikon-D800E__814

Also not sure how do they calculate the CA. It's much more noticeable than the Otus 85 which is measured to have a higher level than the Sigma (3nm vs 2nm).

cayenne · Feb 2, 2017

I have the canon 5D3.

I find that with a number of my lenses, at times...when looking through the viewfinder, with AF on...I at times will hear the beep, but the red focal point does not turn red.

Same settings, different shot...it will beep and turn red.

It sometimes happens with focal point in center, or even if I move the focal point around the screen at times...

I cannot find a rhyme or reason why it does not always flash red and beep. Does this mean it is not getting focus properly when it only beeps but the focal point does not flash red?

I'm at single focal point setting.

I've had this happen a lot when shooting some concert venues here, even during day...and I've found at times I'm missing tack sharp focus more than I think I should....

Yes, I'm still learning my camera and likely it is user error, but hoping I can get some info an pointers here.

Thanks in advance,

cayenne

PB has leaked non-published DXO testing again:
http://www.thephoblographer.com/2017/02/02/sigma-85mm-f1-4-beats-zeiss-otus-dxo-tests/

And somehow the highest lens rating ever given by DXO (a site that strongly biases it's overall rating on the number of pixels sitting behind the lens) was given to this lens on a 36 MP rig. Can't wait for this to be thoroughly outresolved on a 5DS and still get saddled with a lower score for another new reason. #dxo #fairandbalanced

That said, this is in line what virtually every reviewer has said: the Sigma 85mm Art could be their masterpiece. The AF will always have the spectre of lenses' past hovering around it, but by all accounts this lens is a gem.

Cory · Feb 2, 2017

For a nice option to sit in between an UWA and an 85mm lens would there be a winner among the Sigma 35 Art, Tamron 35 and Tamron 45 (on a Canon crop)?
67mm threads are a bonus (hence including these) and I really do like that Sigma "contrasty" look (which the Tamrons seem to have as well). Not a fan of a lot of CA even though easily removed, but still.
Leaning towards the Sigma, but figured I'd do a tiny bit more agonizing.
Thanks.

GP.Masserano · Feb 2, 2017

Dear friends
as everyone knows, the Canon lenses are built in many factories throughout Japan (and not only).
The… horrible suspicion that affects all of us is the following: all the lenses that we buy regularly in the store or on Internet are qualitatively equal or there are series A+, A-, B, etc ?
We all know that there are minimal variations even in the same models of lenses , but (how often you can read for example on Photozone), not always the quality of the lens tested is excellent.
In my long photographic activity, for example, I found poor lenses (or below the usual standard), even of Leitz...

Have you ever experienced about defective Canon lenses or just below your expectations (Optical/mechanical) ?

mistaspeedy · Feb 1, 2017

Hi there!
I will probably be trading in my 20D and getting a 1D Mark II for a small upgrade fee.

Combing through the data on (yes, I'll say the D word) DXOmark I find the following chart very interesting:
A comparison between the 1D mark II, 5D classic, and the 80D.
https://gyazo.com/c0a8a31a214593391b04d114b3e49b8c

It seems that the 80D is only slightly ahead of the 1D mark II, with the 5D classic beating them both when it comes to SNR (signal to noise ratio).

Low ISO dynamic range is an area where the new 80D shines (but the 5D catches up at ISO 800):
https://gyazo.com/65e7a932bc521f819fb7583a86699b46

Tonal range is pretty close across all cameras:
https://gyazo.com/168854f962bb33f7e0365382d8689db6

Color sensitivity is similar too, with the 5D pulling ahead at higher ISOs:
https://gyazo.com/34ba154c9efaf2c27e1f35735faf30b5

MY QUESTION:
So.... has anyone tested a few of these cameras side to side? How close are these two older cameras to the 80D's image quality, and can you describe in words what the charts show (and the real world implications)?

My wild guess: 80D has less noise in the shadows, but in scenes with less shadow/dynamic range, the older cameras are pretty much the same?

I honestly thought that these older cameras would be totally destroyed by the 80D in all areas, and that the competition would not even be close (until I took a look at the charts).

YuengLinger · Feb 1, 2017

Is anybody seeing ads on TV for camera gear? Here in the USA, I can't remember the last time I saw one. Plenty of ads for pillows, flashlights, and kitchen gadgets...

Does the industry care enough to form a consortium and remind people of the joys of dSLRs? Or even larger mirrorless? Or have smartphones sucked all the oxygen out of the living room?

Kit Lens Jockey · Feb 1, 2017

Like the topic says... Is there any setting or any button I can push or set up on the 5D4 in manual shooting mode to quickly toggle between a certain manually set ISO, and auto ISO? Sometimes I'm shooting in an environment where there is generally a good ISO that I have set, but something will suddenly change, lighting wise, and it would be nice to just hit a button and toggle to auto ISO, then hit it again and return to the ISO I was just at. It's a little slow and cumbersome to scroll all the way through the ISO scale to get to auto ISO in this circumstance, then scroll all the way back to get to the ISO I was at before.

Thanks.

Kit Lens Jockey · Feb 1, 2017

It seems like I'm not alone in being a little unhappy that the silent shooting mode on the 5D4 is not improved compared to the 5D3, and if anything the Mk4 is even slightly louder than the Mk3. I've read that the Mk4's mirror is now completely controlled by the motor on both the up and down stroke. Is there any possibility that the control over the mirror's motor speed might be able to be hacked within some type of third party firmware like Magic Lantern, possibly allowing the mirror to the slowed down even more to make the shooting even quieter if this is desired? Or, is this kind of direct control over the mirror something that is too deep within the firmware of the camera to be tweaked or changed?

The silent mode is a great feature to have, I just wish there was a way to adjust this so that if the user wants to trade off even more shooting speed for even quieter operation, they could do so if the situation calls for it. You know, when taking photos of some types of artistic performances, especially in a small space, even the silent shutter can still be obnoxious.

After visiting the local bookstore and surfing the web I have not been able to find much information on product photography outside of lightboxes for eBay shoots, this is how I take great pictures with my DIY lighting, etc. My goal is to assemble my own studio for product photography of my own products. Once many of the adjustments have been worked out I would simply like to power my gear up, place the product, verify using a test shot, and shoot as many shots as necessary while minimizing post-production.

Here is what I have right now to work with currently:

Canon 7D
Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM
Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM
Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM
Canon Speedlite 430EX II

Four (4) Einstein E640 flash units
Four (4) CyberSync transceivers
One (1) Cyber Commander
Three (3) 13-foot air cushioned light stands
One (1) 13-foot heavy duty boom stand
~~Two (2) 64" white PLM umbrellas~~ RETURNED
~~Two (2) 64" PLM black outer cover fabrics~~ RETURNED
Two (2) 64" soft silver PLM umbrellas
Two (2) 64" PLM white front diffusion fabrics
One (1) 47" foldable octabox
One (1) 14" x 60" foldable stripbox
One (1) 7-inch standard reflector
Four (4) Buff single light carrying bags
Two (2) 48-inch light stand carrying bags

My plans are to use the two 64" PLMs off to my right and left, the 7-inch reflector to control the light on the backdrop, and the 14" x 60" stripbox overhead and slightly behind the product. My next purchase will most likely be a Manfrotto background support system (9' width) and Savage 107” x 36’ Studio Blue seamless paper.

Here is the million-dollar question - what book would be my best reference to help get me up to speed quickly? I am quite visual and can really appreciate a few overhead pictorial layouts that I have seen in some other on-line lighting 101 articles. Any suggestions???

JPAZ · Jan 31, 2017

Hi all,

Once again I come to forum for some help. Just spent a great weekend with my grandkids. We went to one of those "paint your own" pottery places. While on the floor trying to get a shot of the 15 month old, he reached out his brush and smeared a lovely shade of pink on the flash lens. I did wipe it off the best I could with a damp cloth. Except for a very slight tinge of color in a couple of the "grooves" near the bottom, I got it off. The flash seems to have survived the attack well (and continued to function for the rest of the day), but I'd like to get the last vestiges of color off the lens even though I don't see any effect in my preliminary PP on the images.

Were this a camera lens with a smooth surface, I'd know what to do. My question is what to use? Would lens cleaning fluid harm this plastic? Anyone ever had to deal with this or something like it?

Ah yes, another adventure! Thanks!!!

One detail/gripe I heard mentioned about 5d3 (and 1dx) was the individual AF points don't light up red so it can be tricky to place a particular point over a subject or an eye, etc, in dim light. I see they addressed that in the 1dx2 but not in the 5d4.

Who has had 5d3 or 5d4 cameras and another camera that does have red AF points and can comment on how irritating or not irritating the in practice is the lack thereof?

LensRentals.com has performed one of their fun tear downs of a new lens, this time it’s the <a href="https://bhpho.to/2jRuLpu">Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS II</a> we get to see the insides of.</p>
<p><strong>FromLensRentals.com</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Well, we already knew Canon was great at optomechanical engineering, and the <a href="https://www.lensrentals.com/rent/canon-70-300mm-f4-5.6-is-ii">Canon 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II</a> is no exception. And unlike some of their cameras, they don’t seem to have a problem putting all the right features in their consumer grade models. We were impressed by the numerous elements that could be optically adjusted, by the metal collars and rollers, pleasantly modular and robust construction, and the efficient layout. <a href="https://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2017/01/opening-up-the-new-canon-70-300mm-f4-5-6-is-ii/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=cpm&utm_content=Opening+up+the+New+Canon+70-300mm+f/4-5.6+IS+II&utm_campaign=blog+posts">Read the full teardown</a></p></blockquote>
<p>It looks like Canon has released another well made lens, and one you should be happy to put in your kit.</p>
