5Div diffraction/aberration data for Sigma lenses

The one feature that is kinda cool on the 5Div is the diffraction/aberration correction. My biggest worry is that it won't work with my new'ish Sigma 24-105/f4

The EOS 5D Mark IV camera is also equipped with a number of in-camera optical correction functions previously available only using Digital Photo Professional. It comes preloaded with aberration data particular to specific lenses, helping to eliminate the need to register lens data on previously released lenses and correcting images with virtually no delay in-camera. The EOS 5D Mark IV not only fixes peripheral brightness and chromatic aberration, but also features distortion correction and diffraction correction. Distortion correction helps resolve barrel and pincushion distortions, while diffraction correction helps to eliminate the blurring effects from diffraction that can be created when capturing an image at a small aperture.

I am wondering if there will be a means for Sigma provided data to be put into the 5D, or Canon will work with 3rd party lenses?

Any insights?

(BTW: I preordered anyway)

thanks,
tom

Canon EOS 6D Mark II Speculation

Well, with the 5D Mark IV out of the way - the next camera that seems logical for Canon to update or release is the 6D2 sometime in 2017.

There's already been threads about it, but now that the 1DX2 and 5D4 specs are known, we can speculate differently about the 6D2.


24 or 28 MP
ISO 32000
45pt AF system, possibly 19pt system if Canon goes low.
Touchscreen at minimum.
Possibly flip or articulating
GPS / WIFI / NFC with certainty.
5 FPS - I think this is a given.
-3EV AF
Single SD Slot >:(
DPAF? That's a tough one....if it has an articulating screen, I say yes. If not, then no.
If it has DPAF, they will have to cripple or nerf the video quality and features. No way the 6D2 can be a better video making machine than 5D4 or 1DX2. It will end up being a FF 80D basically.


Low end would be 24MP, 19pt AF, touchscreen only, single SD.
High end would be 28MP, 45pt AF, touch/flip/articulate, dual SD.


Reality could be somewhere in the middle. High end in my view would challenge the 5D4 way too much. Even if the 45pt system is not "intelligent" or fast, the spread will be too useful to many photographers. After all, no one is buying this to be a sports or action camera. So the spread is what counts, not the AF tracking speed. However, the higher end speculated specs would make this camera competitive with Nikon's offerings. The low end specs would not make it competitive at all. Although, Canon didn't seem to mind having an under-spec camera in the 6D. I have a 6D, and while the IQ is fantastic, it is under gunned compared to the competition. It still sold well, because of people being in the Canon system (owning the glass). Canon likely to follow same model. It works, so why would they change? A lower line almost never bests the higher line camera in anything. Very rare.

The 6D was better in low light AF at -3EV over the 5D3, and had slightly cleaner images at high ISO when pixel peeping, less banding. That's it. Nothing else was better. The 5D4 beats the 1DX2 in nothing except for resolution. The same as was in the past.

I don't expect any changes to this trajectory from Canon. Canon competes with itself.

The higher end speculation, would in my opinion take sales away from the 5D4. I would buy a 6D2 over a 5D4 with those specs any day. Thus, is stands to reason that these features won't happen.

70D RAW buffer reduced

The 70D should have a 16 shot RAW buffer, but after feeling my camera has behaved sluggish in this regard (the fps/buffer seems to slow down much quicker now) and playing around with the AF/Speed custom settings thinking it was that, I notice my shot buffer when you half-press shows 13; the 70D is meant to be up to 16 afaik for RAW only.

Card is a 32GB Sandisk Extreme (the pre-gold, red label one marked 45MB/s) but I also get 13 shots when I inserted a new Sandisk Extreme (gold labelled 60MB/s U3) Micro SD card. And I know in general the camera has a SD card slot around 40MB/s.

Now I'm not 100% sure that I ever saw 16 with these cards, but I think I have. I've mucked around with the AF custom settings, Long exposure NR, High ISO NR is Off, and that lighting thing is on standard (hmm on hindsight I didn't actually check if "Standard" is the same as off).

Anyway, anyone got any ideas what it could be? FWIW I did order an Extreme Pro card yesterday as it was on special but like I said I doubt the card is the issue.

Canon 5D IV for bird photography?

I use the 5DS R and 7DII for bird photography. Birds in flight are just a small part of what I take, spot-on AF and high resolution are the most important features for me. So, would the 5D IV be an upgrade or an addition (I sold my 5D III, regretfully, a few months ago)?

Whatever the Dilberts say about the Mk IV, it does have some very nice features for us birders and nature shooters. The new focussing system from the 1DX II with greater f/8 capability is a real plus, especially if it is improved generally. The possibility of tweaking focus via the new DPAF could be exciting if it is able to get those just out-of-focus shots sharp. The downsides of the DPAF are huge files and possibly not being able to use DxO on RAW. Better DR at iso 400-800 would be a plus.

So, there is now a dilemma. I much prefer the 5DS R to the 7DII in terms of IQ, but like having it as a back-up, which can be used for action photography. I don't want to lose the very sharp resolution of the 5DS R, enhanced by its not having an AA filter. So, it's waiting for the hands-on reviews of the 5D IV.

<p>“I have owned every camera in the 5D line, so the new EOS 5D Mark IV feels like an old friend in my hands, only better” exclaimed renowned wedding photographer and Canon Explorer of Light Clay Blackmore. “It has everything a professional photographer needs to create outstanding, quality images every time. Between its ability with still images and video capture, it is the complete package and—in my opinion—the best wedding camera on the planet.”</p>
<p>“When working with macro beauty photography, I need fast and precise autofocus. With each breath of the subject I need to be able to check the exact placement of focus, whether on the tips of the eyelashes, the pupils or other detail of her face. The EOS 5D Mark IV  gave me exactly the speed and precision required to capture the detail and stunning color that is a signature of my beauty work,” remarked celebrated fashion and beauty photographer and Canon Explorer of Light Lindsay Adler. “I’m always looking for ways to create visuals that help me stand out from the competition. Cinemagraphs, also known as ‘living images,’ allow me to combine still frames and video to create captivating images. Because of the EOS 5D Mark IV’s 4K and slow motion capabilities, I now have the ability to create high quality and visually compelling cinemagraphs without having to invest in an expensive cinema camera!”</p>
<p><strong>The Next Generation of EOS 5D Cameras</strong></p>
<p>In addition to the new Full Frame sensor, the new EOS 5D Mark IV includes a 61-point High-Density Reticular AF II system, similar to the one found in the flagship EOS-1D X Mark II, with all AF points selectable by the user (and up to 41 cross-type points depending on the lens in use). The AF system, improved over previous Canon 5D series models, includes expanded coverage across the frame that supports AF at maximum apertures up to f/8 with all 61 points for high-precision autofocus even when using EF super-telephoto lenses with an EF extender. Standard ISO range for the EOS 5D Mark IV is ISO 100-32,000 and is expandable to 50-102,400.</p>
<p>The EOS 5D Mark IV also introduces a new 150,000 pixel RGB+IR metering sensor with enhanced precision and performance compared to its predecessor, improving upon facial recognition and tracking as well as nature and sports scenes with fast-moving action. AF sensitivity in low light is EV-3 and EV-4 when in Live View mode. The EOS Scene Detection System can detect and compensate for flickering light sources that are often used in gymnasiums and swimming pools. When enabled, this anti-flicker system automatically adjusts shutter release timing to help reduce disparities in exposure and color especially during continuous burst shooting.</p>
<p>Following the groundbreaking video recording capabilities introduced in the EOS 5D Mark II and EOS 5D Mark III, the EOS 5D Mark IV takes the next leap forward offering DCI 4K video recording.  Adding to the versatility of capturing 4K video, is Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF. This proven autofocus system allows for continuous focus tracking of subjects, and can be customized by the user for optimal performance. Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology not only enhances 4K video recording, but also helps create crisp focus for 4K Frame Grab extraction of 8.8 megapixel still JPEG images, all done in camera.</p>
<p><strong>Mobile Connectivity</strong></p>
<p>For the first time in an EOS 5D series DSLR camera, the EOS 5D Mark IV features built-in Wi-Fi®<sup>1</sup> and Near-Field Communication (NFC)™<sup> 1</sup> providing for the easy transfer of images and MP4 movies to compatible mobile devices, as well remote shooting when using the Canon Camera Connect App<sup>2</sup>. The EOS 5D Mark IV also includes a built-in GPS<sup>3</sup> receiver with compass for precise geo-tagged information of latitude, longitude, and elevation. This is especially valuable to wildlife photographers and photojournalists who need to track their locations, as well as providing sports and wedding photographers the ability to sync a multiple-camera setup with extreme accuracy and precision. The camera’s built-in GPS can also be used to sync the camera’s time to the atomic clock, an invaluable feature when multiple photographers are covering the same event.</p>
<p><strong>Pricing and Availability</strong></p>
<p>The Canon EOS 5D Mark IV DSLR is currently scheduled to be available in early September 2016 for an estimated retail price of $3,499.00 for the body only<sup>††</sup>.

Lens aberration correction files

I recently downloaded from the Canon website the current version of the lens aberration correction files into my EOS utility program.

Question- not all my lenses seem to have correction files. Is this because these lenses do not need correction?

These are the lenses which do not have correction files
Most of these are NOT new lenses---

EF-s 24mm f2.8 STM
EF-s 10-18 f4.5-5.6 IS STM
EF 50mm f1.8 STM
EF 16-35 f4L IS USM

Am I missing something? Why can't I find correction files for these lenses?

How can I find out if correction files for these lenses will be available someday?

Thanks!!

Advantage of non-Vibration vs Sony with Vibration reduction..??

I've been a Canon EOS owner since 1996, after I switched from Minolta to Canon when I went pro. I have been self-employed as a freelance commercial photographer since then too. I have been shooting video since shortly after the introduction of the 5D2. I have a large lens selection of Canon lenses from fish-eye to super-telephoto.. including several IS lenses from Canon.. I shoot my video projects primarily with my 5D3 bodies and use my older 5D2 bodies to cover events like weddings..

The overall look of the 5D3 image is amazing for what I do... I have seen what a Sony Alpha a7S II Mirrorless Digital Camera can also do in a lab test side-by-side, and I see that the Sony has more detail for video, and less "noise".. it also appears to capture at a more "bluer" tone than the Canon 5D3.. something I don't like at all..

Do I "need".. iso 1020879697659264927...? No......not really.. If I can get a clean 6400, I'll be happy... What I am looking for is a "walk around" camera that can pop on a shotgun mic, (hopefully use built-in an articulating screen with a loupe vs an external one)

I'm looking at options like a DJI gimbal rig.. or something to that effect... and would like to have a maximum steady shot... I figure with the combination of IS on the lens... and the gimbal well balanced, I should be in the ballpark.. However, I see that the Sony I mentioned above also has IS in the body, and that I can get an additional lens adapter for another 400 bucks that can mount my Canon EF lenses to it..

Is there a big difference to have IS on the body with IS on the lens, or does one cancel out the other, or is it better to have IS in the lens, with no IS on the body..?

I figure there has got to be someone out there who has experience in this who shoots video with the Sony & Canon system combo..

Thank you,

JP

Which would you rather have: Mirror-less Canon or 80D if they both had the same features?

AvTvM keeps saying there is a huge market for a mirror-less camera with the functionality of the 80D.

He keeps saying that all Canon would have to do is make the camera and offer it at $1,000, sit back and rake in the cash and pop the Champagne corks.

He constantly says Canon is stupid for not making such a camera, calling DSLRs "mirror slapping dinosaurs." (Partially paraphrased.

He'd also like them available in pink with unicorns painted on them.

Here's the chance for the vast mirror-less market to make itself heard.

Forget what you have today. There are only two camera choices, but with the same feature set: Mirror-less Canon or the Canon 80D.

Which would you choose?

I chose option 4: I'd never buy either, but if I had to buy... give me the 80D.

3rd Party Lens Regrets?

Back when I started planning and building my "L" lens tool box (After ditching all my EF-S glass) I swore I would only ever buy Canon "L" glass.

My plan was to never buy anything slower than f/2.8, except possibly a 600mm f/4... way off in the future.

The last piece of the puzzle for me was an ultra wide angle zoom.

Normally I buy from Adorama or B&H to save on the tax. This time I felt compelled to drive the 90 miles to Las Vegas for a first hand look at what I was dealing with.

I read the reviews on the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II and it didn't excite me too much. It's a nice lens, but the coma performance and distortion wide open that I'd read about kind of knocked it out of the running.

I'd read great reviews of the EF 16-35mm f/4L IS, but since I thought I might want to do some astro photography and wanted f/2.8 I ruled that out.

Canon's EF 11-24mm f/4L was within reach ($) and I picked it up. What a beast! The problem was that it is f/4 and cost a whole lot of money. The positive is that it gave no overlapping focal length with my 24-70. As a true obsessive compulsive the no overlap part is huge for me.

Then while trying to give myself a cooling off period before dropping nearly $3K on a lens I wandered over to the Tamron counter. There I found another beast: Tamron's SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC. I had read real good reviews about this lens and the f/2.8 checked a box for me. Yup, there is overlap. Nope, it isn't Canon. Yup, I now know that Tamron labelled an f/3.2 lens as a f/2.8. However, it is a great lens and I've been very happy with it. I like heavy lenses.

Now I read that sometimes 3rd party lenses are not compatible with new Canon cameras. It works on my 5D mark III, but if it doesn't work on a 5D mark IV... then I haven't outsmarted Canon in the long run.

Has anyone else out there run into this problem?

Astrophotography: Samyang 14mm or...Samyang 14mm.....

I like to start with astrophotography (mostly nightscapes).
I did some reading on the internet about astrophotography and read some gear reviews.
I am about to purchase a Samyang (a.k.a Rokinon) 14mm f/2.8 lens


But.....I came across two Samyang 14mm f/2.8 versions
The older one with the yellow/gold ribbon and a new one with a red ribbon
I did not come across a comparison review between the old and the new lens


Does anyone know the difference in IQ, vignetting, distortion between those two lenses?
The old one: around €379
The new one: around €549
There is a big price difference...

Some advice on a day in NYC

Hello all-

I live near NYC and have photographed it quite a bit. I try to get in for a day every so often and have one such day coming up.

I'm shooting sunrise from Brooklyn Bridge park, then walking across the bridge and into Chinatown for some street stuff. I've got 75-mins of access with tripod to the lobby and mezzanine of the Woolworth Building from 11-12:15. Meeting friends for lunch during overhead sun. Then up to The Cloisters on the way home.

I've never shot the interior of the Woolworth or The Cloisters at all. I own the 24 TS-E II, 16-35L IS, 24-70L II, 100L Macro, and 70-200L IS II. Considering renting the 17 TS-E though. Anyone done either or both and have an opinion? Are those locations better suited to the 24 or 17?

Thx,

Ryan

There Will Be a New EOS M Camera Coming in 2016 [CR2]

HTML:
Lost in the madness that is all the <a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/confirmation-of-upcoming-product-announcements/">new products over the next couple of weeks</a> is the EOS M. There will not be any EOS M announcements for Photokina, which I think is totally understandable. Nothing in the Canon lineup brings about as much hype as a new EOS 5D body.</p>
<p>The good news is that we will see a new EOS M camera and a lens announced in 2016. I suspect we’ll see it before CES 2017 which starts on January 5, 2017 in Las Vegas.</p>
<p><strong>What we know about the coming EOS M:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>It will be a replacement to the EOS M3, but it won’t be called “M4”. Say hello to the M5.</li>
<li>It will go slightly up market from the EOS M3.</li>
<li>It will be APS-C.</li>
<li>A new lens will be announced alongside it, an EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS is a good bet.</li>
<li>We cannot confirm DPAF or 4K.</li>
</ul>
<p>That’s all for now, but expect to hear some more over the coming weeks.</p>

Upgrade from 5d3 to 5d4 or something else?

Hi all. Right now here is the kit i have

Sony system:

A7r2

55mm f1.8 zeiss

25mm f2 Batis

85mm F1.8 Batis

14mm f2.8 manual Samyang

Metabones IV adapter EF to E mount

Canon System

5d3

16-35mm F2.8 L

24-70mm F2.8 mk2 L

70-200mm F2.8 mk2 L

35mm F1.4 Sigma Art

What i shoot:

Travel photography

Street

Portrait

Some sport

Some wildlife

Events

Studio

Weakness of existing lineup/gear:

Slow FPS for sport(6fps on canon and 5fps on sony)

Not state of the Art AF shown in 1dx/D5

Lacking tele lens larger then 200mm+ for sport/wildlife

A7r2 has poor buffer for studio/portrait and sport/wildlife but 5d3 addresses this but has inferior sensor IQ compared to the A7r2(lack of MP detail, DR)

Now gathering from all of the above. Does the 5d4 really address the weakness of my current lineup? Or will i be better off buying a 1dxmk2? Or last one, just stick with what i have body wise and get a 100-400mk2 tele Lens?

If you had 5k to play with what would it be?

The 1dxmk2 weight is concerning for me though.

Black and white printing

Shot a series of B & W (monochrome setting in 5DM3 and 7DII -- then, when I began printing, I checked B & W print box ...

I bought an extra black cartridge -- Now, after about twenty prints, the black ink is stable, and the Canon 100 Pro is using my color inks to print instead of black ink cartridge ...

What did I miss? It seems it should use Black cartridge for B&W, and maybe some gray?

Sure makes sense to use up black ink, not the color batches to print black?
