I have been using the 24-105L lens for many years of pro photography. I decided to take the leap and buy a 24-70L mk2 recently so I could shoot more often at f2.8 for better bokeh. The lens I have is just not that sharp compared to my old one...also exhibits a lot more flare. Once in a while I get a really sharp image, but most often, just so-so. I also use the 70-200f4 L, which is just great and the the 35 f2 is and the 85 1.8...all on 6d bodies.

As always, a fascinating read from Uncle Rog and his pal Olaf:
http://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2015/07/variation-measurement-for-50mm-slr-lenses

A few fascinating bits:

The new Canon 50mm f/1.8 STM (with its old optical formula) is off the charts for high consistency / low copy-to-copy variation:

"The Canon 50mm f/1.8 STM was amazingly consistent, and I'm not sure why. It's a simple design, but so are several of the other 50mm lenses. I suspect there might be something different in the manufacturing process of this very new lens, but until I take one apart and look inside (we haven't yet) I'm only speculating."
He has already run this data on 24mm primes, and in comparison, the 50mm primes are more consistent in general.
We have a habit of believing that newer lenses are more consistent than older ones. Roger's data -- granted, taken in a limited cross-section across many manufacturers -- would imply that this is not such a clear trend. In fairness, there was a very wide spread of simple 50s (Canon and Nikon budget f/1.8 designs) and very complex 50s (Sigma Art, Zeiss Otus 55) in this mix.

Canadian bird photographer Glenn Bartley has completed his review of the Canon EOS 5DS. As a bird photographer, Glenn requires a select featureset to maximize his number of keepers, especially with small avian creatures. As far as I know, Glenn shoots a lot with APS-C cameras such as the EOS 7D Mark II.</p>
<p>From Glenn:</p>
<blockquote><p>The 5DS has raised the bar and become the new king of high megapixel cameras. It is an impressive camera to be sure! Photographers whose primary and ultimate concern is resolution need look no further than the 5DS. If your photography workflow includes the best glass that money can buy, a very sturdy tripod, good technique, a solid post processing workflow and a fast computer this just might be the camera for you!</p>
<p>The reality is that most of us simply do not need 50.6 megapixels. Aside from the resolution increase the 5DS doesn’t really bring enough to the table to “force” 5D Mark III users to upgrade. Those of us wildlife photographers focussed on fast moving and small subjects would be wise to look past the incredible resolution of this camera to the more practical capabilities that it lacks (such as frame rate and buffer size). <a href="http://www.glennbartley.com/Canon5DSSetupandReview.html" target="_blank">Read the full review</a></p></blockquote>

Which is the latest version of the Kenko Pro 300 DGX TC?

I read lots of talk about Blue Green Yellow dots etc.. but nobody puts them in release order anywhere that I can find (including Kenko)...

Just come across this review of the 1DX and 5DIII vs the Nikon and Sony opposition.

http://www.digitalcameraworld.com/2015/05/26/the-best-camera-money-can-buy-6-top-dslrs/2/

The graphs and images have the 1DX and 5DIII leading the field for S/N for most of the way with the Nikon 810 at the "bottom of the pile". Above iso 400 (my usual range) the 1DX has the best DR with the 5DIII next and the "810 lags behind". The handling of the Canons is best, of course.

I have owned a Tamron 70-200 VC for about 15 months and had no problems. I mainly take photos of family activities, friends and my kids sports teams which I share with the school, sports club and other parents.
I encountered a problem when I was taking photos of our two family dogs chasing a ball being thrown by my wife. I had positioned myself so that the dogs would be running towards me -( I was going for the ears flapping type of shot ) my 5D3 was set to AF expand (9pts) at center point. AF mode in case 5(erratic movement and speed). I shot at various apertures and shutter speeds ranging from 1/1250-2000 in burst mode. the resulting pictures the dogs were blurred and I'm not really sure what went wrong. At first I thought it was motion blur, it was too much blur to be the F-stop but I went down to F7.1 just in case.
Could it have been the VC-the minimum shutter was 1/1250 so I didn't think so. Could I have just completely missed?????
I am a bit embarrassed by the result but I'll post a typical example of what i'm talking about :-[

Zeidora · Jul 10, 2015

Just started to play around with my 5dsr, coming from a 5d2.

On the 5d2, when live view is enabled, the mirror stays up even over multiple exposures (z-stacking). No mirror slap, no vibrations.

On the 5dsr, when pressing the shutter (via cable release, of course) in live view, the mirror goes first down, then back up, then takes exposure, hence introduces vibrations. I try to minimize vibrations by setting it to single shot silent mode.

In video mode, I can take images without mirror movement, but flash does not fire.

I could also go to mirror-lock up and set for 1 s delay, and adjust timing on Cogynsis StackShot. I routinely shoot 50-100 frames, so adding 1 second, plus Stackshot adjustments for each frame, adds a couple of minutes to a series.

Is there an elegant solution?

Chuck Alaimo · Jul 10, 2015

ok, couldn't find anything on this with a google search so asking! I just snagged a set of YN-600's and the transmitter (e3-rt). Love that it's just like the canon transmitter and I do like the AF assist. But --- here's an odd one.

One of the reasons I snagged them was because I wanted 2nd curtain sync. But...for some odd reason the YN flashes won't fire if the SS is below 2 seconds. My canons synced up nicely and had no issue firing with any SS. But the YN's won't. Wondering if this is just the hard limit on the flash or if there may be a setting I am missing. The manual is of no help, and all i can find for info just states that they can do second curtain sync. LOL, if 2 seconds is the limit, then fine, if I need more than that I have my canon flashes. Just odd that the YN's won't...any help out there?

digital paradise · Jul 10, 2015

This would apply to anhy camera that has case numbers or the 3 parameter settings. I have owned all the crop bodies from the 20D to 7D2. Also all 3 5D and currently have the 5D3.

I am not stuggling in any way. I went out birding (in flght) a few weeks weeks ago and tried all 6 case numbers and all AF modes, single, expanded and zone. Since they were steady and non erractic I had very good succes and found zone to work quite well on this body.

I have been curious about Canon's explanation about AF switching when it comes to expansion AF mode.

From the 7D2 manual

The key phrase the camera switches it's focus to neighbouring AF points. My understanding is the surrounding AF points around the centre point in expanded are assist AF points. In AI Servo I never see anything switch. Ever. All I see is the centre point illuminated. Perhaps they just assist faster. If so I wish Canon would have worded it that way.

Personally I decided it does not make much sense so if I'm in Cases 5 or 6 I use zone where the AF points are actually switching. If you are tracking an erratic subject it just makes sense the more AF points involved the better. Especially in 65 AF for those really small fast birds that change directions quickly. Very difficult to track in expansion - even in 8 point.

Of course this is just my opinion. This is the only part of that entire manual that I have always questioned. Even the Canon PDF AF guide. I keep asking in case someone has found the answer on other forums but no answer yet.

echelonphoto · Jul 10, 2015

anyone else excited about this new flash? It was like canon was reading my post a few months ago, when I requested the 430ex to come out with the radio....finally a lightweight on camera flash with its own controller...now I am in flash heaven! I use off camera flash regularly, but always rely on my on camera flash for fill...formerly used two 600 rt's , but found that this flash was too heavy for on camera use...so I had to use my 430 ex2 with a third party controller..now I can relax and have everthing working as it should with a full canon system....BRAVO!

I hope that entering copyright data on our cameras are our habits by now.

If somebody forgot here's a good reason to start typing in your camera.

This guy got burgled of $15,000 worth of gear by the supposed buyer. He was able to recover his gears, thanks to the EXIF metadata.
The burglar is still be a bit lucky with the punishment though.

DXO shared their data with DPReview (aren't they partners?) and the DPReview folks gave their perspective on the results:

http://www.dpreview.com/articles/3673531883/dxomark-eos-5ds-r-sensor-is-highest-ranked-canon-sensor-yet

(It's not entirely a rehash, they preferred to compare DR at the D810's resolution rather than DXO's weird/arbitrary 8 MP)

Spoiler alert: not particularly flattering. The phrase 'dynamic range' is used as a cudgel numerous times.

I'm not trying to be disrespectful to the mods but... huh? I read the opening post to the thread below mentioning Ken Rockwell's review of Canon. Where did it go wrong? It just says he loves Canon a lot now and not Nikon as much as he used to.

Or is the mere mention of "Ken Rockwell" so charged with controversy that any mention of him begs a censorship? In that case, I guess this thread is next? OK, now I'm being snarky... maybe the mods are on to something...

Seriously, I'm not trying to start trouble, I'm genuinely curious as to what went wrong. Seems a little harsh to me.

<strong>MELVILLE N.Y., July 8, 2015</strong> – Canon U.S.A. Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced that its parent company, Canon Inc., will celebrate the achievement of a new lens-manufacturing milestone with the production of the Company’s 110-millionth EF-series interchangeable lens for Canon EOS cameras on June 22, 2015 -an EF 11-24mm f/4L USM ultra-wide-angle interchangeable zoom lens.</p>
<p>Production of interchangeable EF lenses for Canon EOS-series AF (autofocus) single-lens reflex film cameras began in 1987 at the Company’s Utsunomiya Plant. Over the years, EF lenses have garnered support from a wide range of users and production has since expanded to a total of four manufacturing bases, including Canon Inc., Taiwan; Canon Opto (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd.; and Oita Canon Inc. in southern Japan.</p>
<p>EF lens production surpassed the 10-million-unit mark in 1995 and crossed the 50-million-unit threshold in 2009. In April 2014, the Company celebrated its first-in-the-world achievement of having manufactured 100 million EF lenses, and now, will set a new world record for the most interchangeable lenses produced.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Canon’s proprietary EF lenses, launched in March 1987 along with the EOS SLR camera system, have continued to evolve since their introduction, leading the industry through the incorporation of a wide range of innovative technologies, including such world’s firsts as the Ultrasonic Motor (USM), Image Stabilizer (IS) technology, a multi-layered diffractive optical (DO) element, and Subwavelength Structure Coating (SWC) anti-reflection technology.</p>
<p>The 110-millionth EF lens, an EF 11-24mm f/4L USM (launched in February 2015), features a minimum focal length of 11mm to achieve the world’s widest angle of view.1 Furthermore, winner of the prestigious Camera Grand Prix Japan 2015 Lens of the Year award,2 the model was recognized for its use of Canon proprietary optical technologies, making possible superb image quality while effectively correcting for aberrations that commonly occur when shooting at the ultra-wide-angle end.</p>
<p>The Company’s extensive EF lens-series lineup currently comprises a total of 97 models,3 including EF Cinema Lenses for digital cinematography. Canon will continue refining its imaging technologies centered on its EF lens lineup, striving to cater to the varying needs of photographers-from first-time users to advanced amateurs and professionals-while contributing to expanding the photographic and video imaging culture.</p>

Just a quick note, that the RRS L-plate for the 5d3 with BG11 also fits the 5dsr with BG11. No big surprise, but some of you may be interested to know. RRS lists plates for 5ds/r separately as being "under development", but no need to wait.

Those who also wonder about switching focusing screen, see

happy shooting.

JumboShrimp · Jul 7, 2015

Have been tempted recently to purchase one of these (used, of course, since it is about 25 years old) and wonder if anyone out there still has one and can offer some first-hand experience. Mostly interested if you can compare it to the current 17-40 or similar-range lenses. This 20-35 lens appeals to me due to its light weight, compact proportions, and f/2.8 constant aperture. And it's available for about $600. FWIW department, our good friend, Ken Rockwell, really likes this one: http://kenrockwell.com/canon/lenses/20-35mm-f28.htm

Canon Rumors · Jul 7, 2015

HTML:

With the recent $100 price drop on the Speedlite 430EX II, it became apparent that a replacement was coming.</p>
<p>We can expect a Speedlite 430EX III-RT very shortly, perhaps even tonight.</p>
<p>The new flash will retail for $299 USD.</p>
<p><strong>Compact, Portable & Indispensable

</strong>For advanced flash photography on the go, the Speedlite 430EX IIIRT is efficiently designed to incorporate a number of options in a compact, lightweight and portable package. It’s considerably smaller than its predecessor, has a compact head with a redesigned optical zooming mechanism and, like the 600EXRT, has a refined exterior for good looks and intuitive operation.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/speedlite430exiiirtsize.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21509" src="http://www.canonrumors.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/speedlite430exiiirtsize.jpg" alt="speedlite430exiiirtsize" width="552" height="242" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Power, Over a Wide Range</strong>

The Speedlite 430EX IIIRT has a maximum guide number of 141 ft./43m at ISO 100, and flash coverage of 24105mm, 14mm with its integrated extendable wide panel in use (fullframe). Whether taking portraits or group photos, working close or from a distance, the Speedlite 430EX IIIRT has the power to illuminate the subject at hand.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p><strong>Simple Advancements for Enhanced Results

</strong>The Speedlite 430EX IIIRT incorporates a number of features designed to provide excellent results, simply. Its builtin, extendable Catchlight panel can softly brighten faces for a more natural look and can better capture facial expression. Plus, it helps reflect illumination from the flash onto the subject’s eyes. The Speedlite 430EX IIIRT’s Dotmatrix LCD has a clear, easy to read Graphic User Interface (GUI) so all settings can be seen. Its new, easily operated Control Dial makes selecting and changing flash settings a breeze</p>
<p><a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/430exiiirt3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21512" src="http://www.canonrumors.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/430exiiirt3.jpg" alt="430exiiirt3" width="562" height="213" /></a></p>
<p><strong>More Flexibility for Increased Bounce Options</strong>

By aiming the head of the flash at a wall or ceiling, a broad, soft and even illumination can be achieved for more naturallooking photography. The Speedlite 430EX IIIRT has an improved bounce range: it can be moved up from 090°, can be rotated 150° to the left and 180° to the right. With this flexibility, it’s easy to experiment with bounced flash, and to find just the right setup for compelling portraits, still life or other creative photographs.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/speedlite430exiiirt.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21514" src="http://www.canonrumors.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/speedlite430exiiirt.jpg" alt="speedlite430exiiirt" width="549" height="179" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Dynamic, Flexible Wireless Functions</strong>

For comprehensive lighting setups on the go, the Speedlite 430EX IIIRT offers a number of options for both wireless flash and multicamera operation. When used with a compatible flash, or flash driver mounted on camera, the Speedlite 430EX IIIRT can serve as a slave unit in an optical setup, at distances of up to 49.2 ft./15m (indoors). In addition to optical wireless flash, the Speedlite 430EX IIIRT is capable of radio transmitted wireless flash where the flash units need not be in visual proximity to one another and transmission distance is extended up to 98.4 ft./30m. Among cameras with the Speedlite 430EX IIIRT attached, setups of up to 15 flash and camera units can be synchronized to take photographs simultaneously, making multiangle and multidirectional photography setups simple. Additionally, remote shutter release can be achieved when the Speedlite 430EX IIIRT is used as a slave unit with a compatible EOS digital SLR.</p>

http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/diffraction-photography.htm

If you scroll down this link, they have a nifty diffraction calculator. If you open the advanced tab, you can punch in actual mega pixels. Set you Circle of Confusion to be based on pixels. If you set pixels to 50.6, you will get the approximate pixel size of the Canon 5DS at 4.1 nm.

This seems to illustrate that where on a 5D MkIII, diffraction doesn't mathematically effect things until between f11 and f16 (they only use full stops on this), it shows the 5DS topping out at f8 given the much smaller pixel size.

Just thought this was interesting enough to pass along. I shot landscape at f11 with a 5D3 and 6D commonly. I'm now curious to try it out on my 5DSR. The 6D given it's fewer, bigger pixels, has an even higher diffraction limit than the 5D3. Assuming one needs a longer DOF on a given shot, fewer pixels could actually be better? Sure some of that effect gets mitigated with so much more resolution, but that's pretty interesting to consider nonetheless.

Lots of people on here smarter than I am I'd love to hear opinions on

Well, according to this asessment, this leaves room for the low light 18 MP 5Dx, next to the 1Dx workhorse...anyone?

I photograph a lot of running dogs and often experience the same OOF photos when reviewing my images. It occurs when the dog is moving towards the camera and looks as if the AF is trying to focus on the face and the dog runs forward a few inches by the time the shutter fires. I have included some examples with EXIF data. I have micro adjusted the camera/lens used (Sigma 120-300 f2.8 OS) and get sharp images on stationary subjects. Is this just a limitation of the lens or is there any solution to this issue?
