Our favourite “Dude” and photography lover Jeff Bridges and his company SilverBridges are going to be reviving the unique and very cool Widelux panoramic camera. The Widelux was manufactured from 1959 up until 2000 by Panon Camera Shoko in Tokyo. What made this camera was unique was the rotating lens that would rotate horizontally to

Soon it's time for gift shopping, zhis year I found three gadgets which I consider for my friends.
So if anyone has used them already please give me some advice if they are worth the money:

1. Meike Blue and Gold strip filter for the EF to RF adapter


2. Iliano Double Batery Loader




Finally the Zitay CF Express to M.2 Adapter for Canon


So if anyone can share some real life experience I would be happy

We reported earlier this month that the data from Techno Systems Research was released, and now all the market data is published for all to see.

The Canon EOS R6 line is Canon's most popular full-frame camera based on the data from a couple of retailers, though the EOS R8 isn't far behind. There were plenty of rumors that the EOS R6 Mark III would be announced towards the end of 2024, but now we have been told a few times

I was noting the recent post of availability of R5 II bodies at major US outlets and was thinking about how long it has been since I made a major purchase. For me, it seems Canon is in a major lull of products (bodies or lenses) that appeal to my use cases. I shoot primarily landscape with some wildlife thrown in. I have an R5 and many RF and EF lenses that I adapt for my use.

I was noting in my B&H profile that it has been over 3 years since I made a major Canon purchase (body or L lens). This is by far the longest period with no major purchases for me in the past 20+ years. I have had 5 Canon bodies in that time and over 20 lenses (mostly Canon L). I am actually shedding equipment in hopes of upgrading either my R5 or some of my older EF L lenses when equivalent replacements are released. Doesn’t look like that will happen anytime soon.

Canon's Speelite adventure has been a fun ride. As you probably know, the flagship Speedlite EL-1 was discontinued by Canon. There is no longer a flagship Speedlite in Canon lineup. For the people that needs the best of the best when it comes to Speedlites, Profoto is probably the one of the best brands out

Hello everyone, I was just curious if anyone is experiencing what I have noticed using this combination. The EF400 lens seems to lose focus when I really need it to lock in. I am shooting out of AF Case 4. I have noticed sometimes the lens takes a little longer to get into focus. I seems like a speed thing more then the R3 thing. Im wondering if the RF lens is quicker? Is the tech in the EF 400 lens that much older which affects the focusing. Once the image is locked in the camera and lens combo works like no other. Beautiful images! Does anyone have different settings that help? This may or may not have been discussed before. I apologize for wasting anyone's time.

Hi all,

I am a long time cannon shooter / adobe user. I have been toying with the idea of getting a Fuji x100vi.

Do any of you have it? I have heard in the past that does not gel well with Lightroom. Is that still the case? Are you happy with the camera?

My main concern is that I don’t want it to be a gimmicky buy, that tries to be a film camera of days gone by.

Any hands on thoughts would be appreciated.

I looked through the Idx mk 3 instructions and I cannot find a section on this.
I cannot begin to guess what socket to use on the camera body as there are so many.

I know what you are all thinking.
Did Canon come to an agreement with Blazar to use their mount? We're actually not sure. At least not from what I've seen personally.

Check out CineD's first look on their site and/or youtube

This honestly looks promising for those solo run and gun shooters trying to not only get cinema glass but as well as anamorphic flares and features.... oh and did we mention it's an autofocus option for video creators??

According to the video the lens comes in Canon RF, Sony E, Nikon Z, and FUJIFILM X mounts and now after further updates has added L Mount.
The only options to begin the set at the moment are 35mm and 50mm options with a 1.33x squeeze and both at T1.8

According to the video they were able to add more squeeze like characteristics using barrel distortion so it feels more than the 1.33x that it actually is.

If Canon really did come to an agreement with them here, this will be a huge game changer for some of us that want those beautiful anamorphic looks in their content without having to worry about Manual focus.

Canon seems to have lost the ability to make speelites. The Speedlite EL-1 was recently discontinued and had been a trainwreck of availability for a long time. Now the Canon Speedlite EL-5 has been recalled. Do what I do, just buy Godox flashes. From Canon Japan Thank you for your continued patronage of Canon products.

As a long-time 5Ds user I was eagerly awaiting the R5 MkII, hoping that (among other possible improvements) it would have a higher resolution sensor.
I'm an advertising and portrait photographer and mostly work in the studio using strobes so I don't need ANY of the improvements that the MkII has brought.
Even the image quality isn't better with the new sensor, so when the MkII finally arrived, I bought the original R5 new at a discounted price of just €2,400 (the MkII sells for €4,500 in my country) so I saved a lot of money.

Have any of you done the same?

PS
Yes, I need high resolution! My files are often cropped to death by my clients - they want a portrait crop from a full figure shot, etc.
The R5 MkII at its current price didn't made any sense in my case - the 100MP FUJIFILM GFX 100S II isn't that much more expensive.
I'm even toying with the idea of buying one instead of renting, the only problem is that I have too much Canon glass...

This is a question specific to the R5 Mk2 that has one (probably two) new capabilities that other Rx do not have.

Let's start with the easiest to answer.

WHEN IS METERING LOCKED?

• ONE SHOT
  • EVALUATIVE: when focus is achieved
  • SPOT: when shot is taken (unless this is overriden in "AE lock meter. mode after focus " (this was introduced with R6 MK2 so is present also in R5Mk2 but probably not in R5 and R3)
• SERVO
  • ALL: when shot is taken

Now to the hard one.

WHERE IS METERING TAKEN?

• EVALUATIVE: Canon says it considers the whole scene but most say tehre's a bias towards the points on focus. I have no idea where the truth is but on R5Mk2 Canon has introduced "Detect priority AE while AF " valid only for EVALUATIVE: when on, metering is based on subject in focus, whe off, on the entire screen. So what does this really mean? If "Detect priority AE while AF" is ON is the metering taken considering the whole scene but with bias on subject in focus OR it means that metering is taken only on subject. In addition Canon says that "metering is also based on the entire screen when Subject to detect is set to None". Funny thing is that if Subject to detect is set to none, it is still possible to turn "Detect priority AE while AF" on or off, this means that we have the following combinations, for which it is not clear at all where metering is taken:
  • EVALUATIVE + "Detect priority AE while AF" ON + "Subject to detect" ON
  • EVALUATIVE + "Detect priority AE while AF" ON + "Subject to detect" OFF
  • EVALUATIVE + "Detect priority AE while AF" OFF + "Subject to detect" OFF
• SPOT: at the center. This means that if you are in SPOT and you are tracking a subject (regardless of the AF area chosen), if you put center spot on subject and lock focus and meter, the metering is taken on the subject, but if the subject moves off-center the focusing follows the subject but the metering changes because it is taken always at the center.

We rarely get tipped off about future firmware updates, but it does happen from time to time. It should come as no surprise, but the Canon EOS R5 Mark II will be getting one in the very near future. We do know that the new firmware is currently being tested by numerous friends of Canon.

I just recently bought the R6ii with the 24-105mm f/4-7.1 lens. I’m new to this camera, and still learning. I’ll be at Disney World late next month and want to film the Halloween nighttime parade. I’m looking for advice on camera settings to use.

The Canon EOS R5 Mark II has been a frustrating launch when it comes to stock levels for both customers and retailers. There are still some long preorder lists in various countries around the globe, and the communication from Canon has been less than stellar for a lot of people. We also all saw the news that ‘new' EOS R5 Mark II orders could take more than 6 months to arrive. Canon publically stated that the issue(s) are with the supply chain, but they didn't articulate on that point. By the looks of it, Canon has removed the supply chain

What was the purpose of these non IS lenses ? Were they made for some particular market/niche ?
Im wondering are they mk 1 or mk 2m ? They come in the old cases the FD lenses did.
If they were mk 2 I would get one as I always have the IS turned off as I use a tripod all the time.

Gordon Laing from CameraLabs recently reviewed the Canon EOS 10D as part of his retro review series. I usually enjoy reading Gordon's reviews and this one was no different.

Which is it? I can't find this information.

Obviously doesn't matter with the current line of Atomos Ninja's, but if if was 2.1 and a new model could handle the spec, that would be amazing!

Greetings,

Has anyone else encountered an issue during image review in which the camera freezes, LCD remains black and activity light stays illuminated? I could not clear this by turning camera off/on, but had to unmount/remount lens and adapter to get the camera to respond. Then pressing image play button again, it would show me one or two, then go to a black screen with a ? displayed and "unable to view image" message. I was unable to successfully clear this glitch, tried removal/replace battery, remove/replace SD cards or by removing/replacing lens. The camera as configured when this happened:

Lens: EF 100-400 f4.5-5.6 L (version 1) with EF-RF adapter (control ring version)
SD Cards: Sony Tough M UHS II 128 gb V60. Camera set to record stills to card 1 and video to card 2. Cards were formatted to camera prior to first use
Camera: purchased new (USA warranty) from Amazon in July. Registered camera with Canon USA website
FW: shipped with v1.3.1 and successfully updated to v1.5.0
Battery: Canon battery shipped with camera, 3 bars power remaining

I had successfully viewed these images numerous times before today with the same components shown above, then after some days of the camera resting and turned off, I turned it on and experienced this issue when pressing image play button. During this time the camera has been stored indoors in a climate controlled environment, no shocks, bumps or vibrations.

The images were not terribly important so I formatted both cards again, and this time assigned camera to write to both cards, just to see if anything changes going forward for better or worse.

I've used numerous Canon digital cameras going back to the Digital Rebel, 20D, 50D, 60D, 80D and 6D Mk II and this is the first time I've had any of the issues I'm experiencing with the R7.

Thanks for your time and insight.
