Okay, so, for vacation photography....
I've got a 6D (which I love), (and a 7D mk2) and am thinking of three lenses for vacay this year.
I've got: 16-35 f/4, Sigma 24-105 Art, and EF 70-200 f/2.8 plus TC 1.4 and 2 iii's.
(I've also got EF 300 f/2.8 ii and 600 ii, but not for vacay).
So, I'm wondering (of those who have tried both, or those with an opinion...)
With the price of the 100-400 now down to $1600 on eBay, for Pacific Coast Highway drive next month, should I get a 100-400 or just use the 70-200 and a TC if I want more reach? One costs money, and the other requires fumbling around with a TC with the risk of dropping something, and wasting time when you are with your college student son for a few days...
Is the improvement in my vacay photos and enjoyment of my day worth the money?
I guess I could put the 24-105 on the 6D and the 70-200 on the 7D2 and rarely change lenses at all, if the 7D2 doesn't drop off IQ too much.
I realize the 70-200 is the better lens from 100-200, and the 100-400 is the better lens from beyond 200.

IN SUMMARY:
If you were a person who used the 70-200 f/2.8 ii and then bought the 100-400 ii, did you like it? Would you do it again?
Thanks

Apparently the new Galaxy S7 has dual pixel autofocusing included. Wonder where Samsung got that from......

This might explain Samsungs abrupt exit from the camera market.

<p><em>Meyer-Optik Begins Shipping Orders to Kickstarter Backers</em></p>
<p><strong>Atlanta, GA – Meyer-Optik USA</strong> — The Trioplan f2.8/100 returned to the United States , 100 years after the legendary lens was first manufactured in Germany and more than 40 years since the brand ceased manufacturing . Under the guidance of new owner Meyer-Optik Goerlitz, the new handmade version restores the historic lens’ incredible soap bubble bokeh with new state of the art technology.</p>
<p>Last year Meyer-Optik USA ran a Kickstarter to finance the manufacture and distribution of the Trioplan f2.8/100 lens. The Trioplan f2.8/100 became the seventh most popular photography fundraiser in Kickstarter history, raising more than $359,000 from 452 backers.</p>
<p>Interest was driven by the beautiful soap bubble bokeh created with the Trioplan f2.8/100. When images are shot at f2.8, the lens’s 15 blades create wonderful images with sharp subjects in the foreground and luscious backgrounds featuring the bokeh bubbles. Art, nature, and portrait photographers love the unique look produced by the Trioplan f2.8/100.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>[<a href="http://www.meyer-optik-goerlitz.com/kickstarter_trioplan/">See a gallery of Trioplan f2.8/100 images here</a>].</p>
<p>“The Trioplan excels in artistic images where there are several spectral highlights in the blurred out areas of the image,” said Jim Speth, a professional photographer based in Utah. “Water, high contrasting flowers beds, and holiday lights or a city-scape all make spectacular images when a focused subject is placed in front of them. The lens performed very well for me.”</p>
<p>The shipping of the lenses for U.S. backers started two weeks ago and will continue through February and March. New U.S. buyers can receive their Trioplan f2.8/100 through select American photography resellers and directly through the Meyer-Optik USA website (<a href="http://www.meyer-optik-goerlitz.com/">http://www.meyer-optik-goerlitz.com/</a>). Because the lenses are handmade, they will ship to buyers on a first come, first serve basis after the Kickstarter campaign fulfillment is completed.</p>
<p>“Meyer-Optik is thrilled to meet our commitment to our Kickstarter backers who believed in us,” said Dr. Stefan Immes, CEO and creative director of the project. “The Trioplan f2.8/100 is one of the best lenses ever used in portrait and nature photography. I cannot wait to see some of the soap bubble bokeh images produced by our U.S. customers, and hope they will share them with us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.”</p>
<p>The technical specifications of the Meyer-Optik Trioplan f2.8/100 include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Optic construction as classic triplet (3 lenses/3 groups)</li>
<li>Focal distance: 100 mm</li>
<li>Maximum aperture: 1:2.8 continuous dimming to 1:22</li>
<li>Iris diaphragm with 15 aperture blades specifically constructed of steel segment belt and with special coating</li>
<li>View format: 24 mm x 36 mm (image circle diameter 44 mm)</li>
<li>View angle: 24°</li>
<li>Filter: M 52 x 0.75</li>
<li>Clip-on diameter: 52 mm</li>
<li>Mounts: M42, Canon, Nikon, Fuji X, Sony-E, MFT</li>

Hi

I would like to see such a feature in an upcoming Canon.
Makes quite some sense, hopefully they come along with some field previews using this tech.

well, minus blurred nightscapes by shooting in this mode... :-\

JumboShrimp · Feb 19, 2016

Anyone notice how their website has changed to the "mobile device format?" I know why they did it, but it has ended up pretty confusing with all the (junky) ads here and there. I long for the old format ... oh, well.

Alejandro · Feb 19, 2016

First of all thank you for time.

Ill try to be as short as possible. I moved from APS-C to FF (Canon 6D). I managed in a short time to move from a 28-135mm to a 24-105mm, and i also got a 50mm f/1.8. Although i love the 50mm, i just cant get used to the "real 50mm" and i need a portait lens.

Since im foreign i can't get such good prices from the market, so i got some limited choices to pick from:
Canon 70-200 f/4 ($10000 used) (something around u$s670)
Canon 70-200 f/4 IS ($15500 used) (u$s1033)
Canon 200mm f/2.8L USM II ($10000 used) (u$s670)
Canon 70-200 f/2.8 NON IS ($17000 used) (u$s1150)

I was trying to aim for the F4 IS, but this 200mm came across me just a few hours ago and it seemed like a good deal, lens seems like new and its price is GOOD...

Thing is... i think i won't be able to stand the fixed focal... ¿what do you think?

Again, thank you so much for your time.

TommyLee · Feb 19, 2016

the rubberized coating on my 3 yr old 85L mk II seemes to be breaking down...
feels a bit gummy/sticky ...

... can it be restored...or better yet would canon consider this a defective material issue and ..can it be re-applied by them...? if they can replace/repair is it expensive ...if they wont cover it...

it has not separated but doesn't feel like it is gonna last.....

the lens is dead-on accurate .... just the finish on the rubber makes it... lower value...I suppose
thanks for advice.....

Sigma appears to be getting in on the Metabones market now and will release an MC-11 EF to E-Mount adapter, as well as an SA to E-Mount. Maybe this will work better than the Metabones?

They keep finding the inspiration to punish identical lenses for sensor stack reasons:

And the corresponding writeup is simply gold:

It is comprehensively outresolved by a 5DS R, yet, to DXO, they can only describe the Nikon version as:

"The Standard"

"Outstanding peak sharpness"

http://petapixel.com/2016/02/19/sigma-unveil-crazy-fast-50-100mm-f1-8-art-lens/

Before people get heart palpitations, remember: DC is for crop rigs only. So this is the second super high end pickle jar zoom for crop rigs that Sigma has made.

Fascinated that Sigma sees an opportunity in the market for a (roughly/speculated) $1,500 crop-only lens.

Came across this on his website today -

The 1DX2 has MUCH better shadow detail and reduced noise than the 1DX (which was no slouch either). This means that I can push and work with the file a lot more, i.e. I don't need to be picky about getting the exposure right all the time. It's been one of the revelations of the 1DX2. It's how I define dynamic range too.

http://www.andyrouse.co.uk/index.php?b=1&currentpage=1

Of course, I expect the hounds of hell to budge in here as well as tell me that Canon sucks at AF, DR and what not - but it's looking WOW to me.

<p>Along with the information of what actually transpired in 2015, they also review their predictions for last year, and they did pretty well.</p>
<p>Their predictions for 2016?</p>
<ul>
<li><em>2016 will be a better year for the photography market. With that said, we still expect the total number of cameras sold in 2016 to be below 30 million – or around 15% decrease compared to 2015.</em></li>
<li><em>On the other hand, we expect more DSLR sales in 2016 – with a one digit increase, and more or less the same increase in mirrorless cameras.</em></li>
<li><em>We are predicting that compact cameras will drop below 20 million and may even get close to 15 million (compared to 22 million in 2015).</em></li>
<li><em>Finally, Looking a bit ahead in the next 2 years DSLRs and mirrorless cameras will have a bigger market share than compact cameras, which we are predicting – will become a niche market before the end of this decade.</em></li>

We’re told that Canon Canada will soon be increasing the prices of lenses by around 20% around the end of March or early April. Americans in the know have been buying up Canadian lenses for quite some time, as the weak currency and the fact Canon Canada doesn’t have MAP pricing on lenses made for some good discounts for American shoppers.</p>
<p>We haven’t had this confirmed from Canon Canada, but it shouldn’t come as any sort of surprise to consumers on both sides of the border.</p>
<p>While the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II is launching in the USA at $5999, in Canada it’s launching at $7999. There is some CPS Canada member relief though, as you should be able to get the camera body for about $6800 CAD.</p>

Throw away your latest equipment, you gadget-collecting dilettantes!

On the winning image, he commented: “The refugee story was fast moving all the time; you had to be in the zone and there was no let up. I just had a straight 24mm lens on my EOS 5D Mark II and I used my body as a tripod as it was so dark and the shutter speed (1/5sec) was so low. I only use three primes: a 14mm, 24mm and a 40mm. That’s it. I don't believe in taking monster cameras and lenses on assignment. I need to move with the subject; that’s how I work.”

Australian freelance photojournalist Warren Richardson has won the World Press Photo of the Year 2015 for a poignant image of two migrants passing a child through a barbed wire fence, as they crossed the border from Serbia into Hungary.

....the 1DX2 and 80D have been released, there is some insight as to the path Canon is taking given what they are offering in these two cameras (and the existing 7D2).

My guess at this point is, the 6D2 is going to be the camera that sports a 28MP sensor with around 5fps at best. While the 5D4 will have a 24MP sensor and 8fps.

This makes the most sense.

The 5D4 will be better suited at 24MP to be a great all-around FF pro, wedding and event camera as is its tradition to be. Good at everything.

The 6D2 is more likely to get the 28MP as the original 6D was hailed by so many Canon owners as a good landscape camera. Enthusiasts love megapixels, and this will be a smaller, lighter and less expensive body than a 5DS, with connectivity features they will appreciate. This is the enthusiast FF that may give up some low light performance vs the 5D4 and speed (as well as AF and other features) to give a good mix of resolution and quality.

I don't envision an 8FPS camera with 28mp. Unless Canon only upgrade the 5D4 1frame...I doubt this. The 5D4 will have 1/2 the FPS as the 1DX2 top end. I think it is getting 8. With 8, I say it will lean toward 24mp to keep the data moving.

Pros who buy the 5D4 aren't infatuated with megapixels. They want clean ISO, speed and features that helps them get the shots they need quicker and easier.

With the 1DX2 having the same AF pattern and layout, the 5D4 should also be the same. The 6D2 will probably get the 45pt system. Some kind of FF version of the 19pt would be a major insult to Canon system owners. 6D2 will be "crippled" with 1 SD slot. Doubtful he 6D2 will get any decent video at all. That will belong to the 5D4. Touchscreen or tilt screen on 6D2? Who knows. It will probably be upgraded with built in connectivity of several types.

I think the rumor of two 5D4 bodies is a confusion of 6D2 and 5D4 specs. I just can't see Canon releasing (2) 5D series bodies after already having (2) 5DS bodies. That would be a total of 4 5D camera bodies out there at once. Unlikely.

It's safe to say that the 5D4 will not surpass the 1DX2 in ANY spec with the exception of megapixel count. It has always been this way. So in a way, the 1DX2, minus it's obvious advanced features like ridiculously blazing FPS, is the limit for what the 5D4 could have.

The existing 5D3/ 5DS is now the lower limit of what the 5D4 will have.

Then there are other features out there, like DPAF - that could make their way into the 5D4. These would be nice additions, but we now mostly have an upper limit and lower limit for the common specs.

I've never done DSLR video before - I have a 70D and a Panasonic SD-60 camcorder.
If I were to start doing some video on my 70D when I download do the pictures automatically go to My Pictures and the video automatically go to My Videos?
Since I'm obviously clueless - any other words of wisdom about video? I'm pretty good with camera operation, etc. for stills, but have never even considered my DSLR for video; until now (for no particular reason).
Thanks.
