Hi Guys,

Not Canon specific but, I just found this online magazine f11. Not sure if people know of it, but it features interviews with some interesting photographers and showcases some of their shots (seems mostly fine art), gear reviews and such like. Anyway some wonderful stuff in there. Free to subscribe to too.

Cheers

Hi Everyone! I'm trying to discover how you guys all make your photo books. I'm starting to get into this heavily and I want to stay away from the Shutterfly/MPIX gimmicks and create truly custom works for my clients.

Ideas? Are there any great online companies who can help me get started? I need really custom stuff without the involuntary bar codes and branding. I'm guessing...create pages in Photoshop and then send them off to a printer/binder? Any other options such as websites which offer customizable templates and non-branded printing?

Please help!

Thanks In Advance!

As the Christmas/ Hanukkah / New Years holidays are upon us, I thought I'd start a thread for posting your holiday pics!

I hope everyone has a healthy & happy holiday and new year!

hi did continues shots (3 shots) of the same scene, but when I check the pictures, i notice that the color shade is shifting (different from each other). i use same setting manual mode, fluorescent white balance, fix iso.

Is this normal?

Please see following pictures:

I recently bought a 5D mark III in Sydney - I just love it!

The retailer (an authorised dealer) offered it at what was a good price at the time although I suspect that the unit had been used as a 'showroom' unit for a little while, because when I took it home and put a brand new memory card in it, the sequence number was around 1400.

That may or may not be the actual shutter count - possibly a card used in another camera had been used by the shop to demo the camera.

I tried EOSinfo (had good results on my older 50D) - but it didn't work with the 5D III (PC, Windows 7 64-bit)

Does anyone know of a method to find the actual shutter count on a 5D Mark III?

Some time ago, CR published a small snippet on Canon's patent for a small OVF with 100% coverage.

http://www.petapixel.com/2012/12/11/canon-patent-reveals-a-smaller-optical-viewfinder-with-100-coverage/

The CR report has since then been removed. What happened here? Canon threatened legal action?

I'm just wondering if a lack of correction data for some lenses in Canon DPP DLO module is not a hint at their life cycle and expected upgrades/end of life announcements. I'm observing what they add to the list of provided lenses and was wondering why 70-200 2.8 (NON IS) was missing all the time. After the rumor, that Canon is about to end this lenses life, I think it might be connected somehow with their absence in the DLO module - they didn't include it because they krew that it's end of life of this lens anyway.

Canon has added some new lenses to the list in DLO, has even addded 1.4 and 2.0 teleconverters variations with some of them, but 70-200 2.8 was still missing.

If this is about to be true, then popular EF 135L 2.0, 50 1.8, 85 1.8, 100 2.8 Macro (non IS non L) and 300 F/4 L IS are missing as well so does it mean, that they are on their upgrade path?

<strong>Time’s up


</strong>The Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8L non-IS is set to be discontinued officially some time in 2013. As much as I think there is still a market for this lens with sports & wedding photographers with pro bodies with great high ISO performance, there’s no information saying Canon will do a version II of this lens.</p>
<p>In case you were wondering, the EF 70-200 f/4L is remaining current with no plans for a discontinuation.</p>

Hi.

My short film: My Inaudible Thoughts.

This movie was made with Canon 5D Mark III. I used Canon 50mm 1.2 L, Sigma 20mm 1.8 and Canon 85mm 1.8. I didn't use any cinema lights.

Anyone else see this article?
It makes it seem that current sensors are out-resolving lenses which I dont believe is the case.

Dylan777 · Dec 17, 2012

Hi guys,
I recently bought a 50L. I ran through FoCal 3-4 times. The results I got are very similar on all runs.

At f1.2, FoCal showed my 50L is best at -5 and sharpness is 753. I looked at my 24-70 f2.8 II, at f2.8 the sharpness is over 1000. Even my 16-35 II, at f2.8 the sharpness is above 800.

Questions:
1. It's normal for that 50L sharpness to be below 800 due to large aperture?

2. At f1.2, what is the sharpness on your 50L through FoCal?

Thanks
Dylan

Hi everyone.
Just watched this :

Canon EOS 6D vs 5D Mark III Hands-on Comparison

and 5:30 sec into the clip it's said that "[you] can't rely on [5d] mark 3 screen [for focusing manually]... [as it] only shows DOF accurately to about f/2.5"

Does that mean that it is possible that after bringing something into focus using live view (at f/1.4) it may actually not be in focus on the actual photo??? Does anybody know anything more about this phenomenon?
Thank you.

http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EOS-6D-Digital-SLR-Camera-Review.aspx

"I can focus the 6D's center point on a subject with reasonable contrast down until autoexposure gives me a setting of 160 at 10 seconds and f/2.8 (really dark) with the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L II USM Lens mounted (note that the 6D's metering range spec is listed at EV 1-20). The Canon EOS 1D X's center point could not focus on the same subject with the same lens mounted. Note that the 6D focuses very slowly under these dismal lighting conditions - but locking slowly is far better than failing to lock.

I'm having very good success with the Canon EOS 6D's center AF point. And this is again the AF point I am using most frequently on this camera. It properly and accurately locks onto subjects as I would expect. "

Here is a fun little topic, yesterdayI caught my friend and he caught me saying 2.8 and F4.

It's a bit weird, most photographers call regular # aperatures Fx, and all aperatures with a decimal, just the #?

Some examples
-1.2
-1.4
-1.8
-f2
- 2.8
-f4
-5.6
-f8

Please evaluate on why you think this is, or correct me if you don't.

SJTstudios · Dec 17, 2012

We all know that the 24-70 v. 24-105 was a very hard decision.

24-70
----------
-2.8 > 4

24-105
----------
-IS> no IS
- +35mm

Both these lenses were similar in price, and each had their benefits, but both were ~ in sharpness.

Canon has come close by making the 24-70 2.8 ii and the 24-70 f4, one has 2.8, and one has IS, but there is a pretty big difference in price while both apparently have equivalent prices, similar glass, and each has an expensive feature.

What is next?

SJTstudios · Dec 17, 2012

What will be canons plan for lenses?

SJTstudios · Dec 17, 2012

Well... What do you think?

SJTstudios · Dec 17, 2012

What do you guys think is king as canon begins to upgrade.

And what do you think canon will do with their lens lineup?

aaronh · Dec 17, 2012

Hi, I've got a friend in law enforcement who is asking me for a recommendation for lens/camera combo for surveillance. I naturally thought to extend the question to you all!

What would you recommend as a set-up for surveillance? My friend won't be able to spend a ton of time learning the ins and outs of it and he's not interested in photography as an art. He will need to use it time to time at night and won't be using a flash (obviously).

Your thoughts?

P.S. Budget doesn't necessarily matter. Unless you are concerned about the fact that our taxes will be footing the bill...
