<strong>Could it be?

</strong>I have received two random emails saying that “f/8″ autofocus in the 1D X will be added to the final firmware for the camera.</p>
<p>By f/8, I mean the ability to have autofocus when the widest aperture of a lens is f/8. i.e.  a 500 f/4L IS with a 2X teleconverter. Which is 1000mm f/8.</p>
<p>We had heard previously that the perceived shortcomings in the 1D X could be fixed in firmware.</p>

Hey,

Am thinking of buying one of these lenses but not sure which one - i know many of you will say 'simple. just go for the 70-300mm' but is it really such a simple decision - what are the pros and cons of each lens comparative to each other?

Many thanks

Just thought hmm. Seem as they're throwing an x on things lately.

I'm looking for a bag / case to carry around the 600 lens for generally around town and also overseas
the old school canon case doesnt fit the lens with a plate on and something more durable would be good.
do they make individual padded bags for superteles? pelicans? any other ideas?

Zorfunk · Feb 4, 2012

In the spirit of all the Peter Lik discussions, I took a look at his site. A couple of his photos looked awfully familiar. This may be a coincidence, but my pictures were taken September of 2010 and his were taken sometime in 2011...

Am I crazy or what!?

Saw this over on slickdeals, I hope it is true. Some hooligan over there says that the instant rebates will be extended through March 3rd.

As it states, this poll is asking everybody to vote. Do You Currently Own an Extender and Telephoto Lens that would be affected or Not. Plans for a future purchase do not count, this is only to get an idea of how many of you would be affected if you were given a 1D X today.

If you do own an extender and lens combination that would be affected, what extender do you use, which lens do you pair it with, and truthfully... when was the last time you used them both together.

Hi I'm a newbie here. I have been reading through some of your discussions, and I was hoping for some help.
I have a Canon 100-400 L lens that is less than a year old. I shoot with it using a Rebel Xsi.
Recently, I had to send the lens in to Canon under warranty because the AF was not working properly. It was front focusing rather badly.
When I got the lens back, they said they replaced the zoom mechanism and slides, and all internal mountings , readjusted the optics, cleaned and tested.
Now,, it appears that the IS system is not working. I never get TACK sharp pictures with this lens, at 100% crop shooting at 400mm f8,, but now,, I only get "pretty sharp" if I have the camera solidly mounted to a sturdy tripod and shoot with a remote shutter release.. Hand held at all is not possible. Even if the tripod is not stable,, I get some distortion.
I am wondering what the possibility is that now that the lens has been worked on ,, that the IS is not functioning.??
does that seem reasonable?..
Can you give me some advice on testing it?
I have been trying to test it on my own, but have had mixed results. I even shot at at yard stick ruler at 50 feet away from a tripod and remote release, and one of the two shots I took was sharp, and the other not so sharp., very confusing.

I have a theory that photogs go through 2 stages of lens buying.
stage 1: buying lenses to cover the focal range and learn the different lenses, focal lengths and mastering them
stage 2: refactor- you've learned which lenses and focal lengths really work for you, allowing you to sell (or shelve) lenses infrequently used.

what do you guys think?

Do FF cameras perform better in low light conditions such as in a high school gym or at an outdoor stadium at night? Would a 5D Mark II be my best choice for upgrading from a 40D? I was considering a 7D, however, I have read a couple of entries on this forum where it is mentioned that the 7D is not as clear as the 40D.

I have been using a 40D with my 70-200 f/2.8L IS II USM lens. I mainly shoot High School soccer in daylight. I am happy with my clear shots. I want to upgrade my camera. I want a camera that I can shoot indoor sports such as basketball/volleyball in a school gym and nighttime outdoor stadium games. Even with my 2.8 lens (and high ISO setting), I am not happy with my indoor sports shots.

I look forward to your advise on which type of camera I should purchase next.

Has any one used the Canon 320 EX Speedlite? What were your thoughts? How was it for photography? Studio? How about Video? Was the LED Video light useful or worth it? How bright is it? Do you think it is best suited for the 5 D MKII, 7d, 60D, or Rebel Series? Any other thoughts? Thinking of getting one for my 7D. I do both Stills and HD Video. I have a T3i as well. Thank you for your input.

Here's a fun little exercize in wishful thinking. Let say you had $5000 to spend on new camera equipment including body, lenses, and all accessories and you are starting with absolutely nothing. What would YOU get? Some people prefer shooting wildlife and might spend their budget on telephoto equipment. Others natural light portraits or studio portraits. Others landscapes. And still others the widest range of subjects your money could buy. So I ask, what would YOU get for 5k.

Here is my list. I am an amateur and my selection will reflect that as I don't require the precision a professional does. My list covers a wide range of shooting situations as I shoot a bit of everything including "studio" portraits. Prices are approximate as they are constantly fluctuating, but I'll use the lowest typical price I've seen. Some of the prices reflect cheap products as I wouldn't need the durability and reliability of professional products.

Canon 60D ~ $850
Vello battery grip and extra battery ~ $120
Canon 100mm macro ~ $500
Canon 17 - 55 ~ $1000
Canon 70 - 200 f4 IS ~ $1100
Canon 580ex II ~ $450
Yongnuo YN-560 X 2 ~ $140
Yongnuo radio trigger set ~ $50
Black and White 10x10 Muslin backdrop including stand ~ $100
Cheap flash stands and mounts X 3 ~ $100
Umbrellas and multi reflector ~ $120
Manfrotto Tripod and ballhead ~ $220
Black Rapid strap ~ $60
Camera bag ~ $100 (lowepro slingshot 300 maybe)
SD cards ~ $60

So that's my 5k list. What would you get?

Cool February day in Vancouver.

Feb 4, 2012

Anyone own/have used one of these? Would it seriously be worth considering one of these, especially for travelling, what with its smaller size, or should I stick to my 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM? (which will be upgraded to the f/2.8 eventually...)

Its got the downside not having a fixed aperture, and having slightly dodgier optics being a DO lens, but will the size make up for that?

Hello everyone,

I am a beginner that is learning new things every time i carry out my 550D.

I am currently learning to take time lapse photos and downloaded magic lantern. There don't seem to have a very good guide with ML. Please bare with my stupid questions.

1) How do i change the time setting in the intervalometer? It's default at 2 seconds and i can't figure out how to change it.

2) The ML wiki states "To make a timelapse without increasing shutter count, do not use the intervalometer; instead, set FPS override to a very low value (for example, 3fps) and start recording." How do I set it? I can't find the FPS setting.

3) The ML wiki states "When using the intervalometer in LiveView with "noisy" mode, your shutter will wear twice as fast than outside LiveView." What is noisy mode? I don't want my camera to 'die' too soon.

Thanks in advance.

I recently acquired the canon 70-200 f/4 IS lens. Fantastic stuff.

I also have the Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 OS, the latest with optical stabilization. Im planning to sell one of these.

The plan is to go backpacking, for 6 months lets say. Im liking the smaller weight of the f4. With the f2.8, its a bit heavy but its a very nice lens. And I have a x2 teleconverter so I can shoot at f/5.6. With the f4, loosing 2 stops of light means f/8 which can be a bit slow.

Ive never carried my gear for such a long time as 6 months, Im not sure how often I will need the f/2.8. Its heavy, but I dont want to miss out on the good photos. Anyone has any suggestions which would be preferred?

Other lenses I will take:

1) Canon 24-70
2) Sigma 8-16
3) Sigma 50 f/1.4

And this final lens is for telephoto.

thanks.

Light Craft for Canon 16-35mm Mkii: Fader ND Digi Pro-HD Round 82mm Results

Recently I had acquired the Canon 16-35 mkii and immediately began my quest for a set of ND filters or potentially choosing a high quality variable fader. I opted for the latter and selected the Light Craft top of the line Fader ND Digi Pro-HD Round which claims to range between ND2-ND1000 for $320 USD. I read several reviews, chatted with Light Craft on Facebook and sent off a few emails.

I acquired the filter today and found smooth threading, excellent package and a convenient handle to increase or decrease the fader settings on the ring. The results were unfortunately not even close to the Hoya ND400.

Since Hoya doesn't make an ND400 for the 82mm, I was swapping the 16-35 with the Light Craft Fader and the 15-85 EF-s lens with the ND 400 by Hoya. The settings were aperture priority at 5.6, ISO automatic as well as speed. This was my conclusion (Hoya ND400 photos are #1 and #4 and the Light Craft are #2 and #3).

Discrepancies:

1)With the ND400 in place, the camera required more light if you notice (via EXIF) the ISO adjusted to a higher setting @ 1600 and the shutter speed between photos 1 & 2 went from 1/25 to 1/30 thus the ND400 requried more light

2)On photos 3 and 4, photo# 3 with Light Craft auto adjusted to ISO 400 and 1/25th while photo number 4 jumped to ISO 1250 and shutter remained the same

3)also, the darkness aspect should be equal on both filters but was not. One would think on Max it should be ND1000 as the ads exclaim or at least ND500. I would suspect on the Light Craft Max is about 7-8 stops certainly not 9.

Lastly, there’s a distinct lighting unevenness with the LCM filter on photos 2 and 3 vs. the Hoya which is more solid across the screen on photos 1 and 4. Sadly, the Light Craft is going back. I'm not sure how many folks have an ND400 laying around but without it, these tests could not have been possible and are the proof in the pudding.

As always I am open to objection or rebuttals or any thoughts you wish to share.

<strong>New Lens Formula Patents

</strong>A new 400 f/4L IS non-DO would probably be a very welcomed lens. However, it will probably depend on the price of the 200-400 f/4L IS 1.4x ($8000  I predict) as to whether or not it ever sees the light of day. The 200 f/5.6 is a strange one.</p>

If the previous one didn't get you to sit up straight and take notice of the lies, maybe this one will.

Is any of this really an issue of composites, or technical prowess? NO, it's about being honest and truthful about what you do. If you want to add a moon, or heck even the sun right next to it - who cares, but have the common decency to at least say you did it because you liked it that way and wanted to present it that way or (heaven forbid) you did it for artistic reasons - just don't lie to me about it, that's the part that tics me off.

Lik just released this to his collector base yesterday:

Peter has finally released his first photograph of the year!! I am excited to introduce to you Peter Lik’s newest master class edition, Moonlight Reflections. It looks like something out of this world. This stunning photograph was taken in La Jolla, California at just the right time and mood. Moonlight Reflections exude a romantic ambiance in beautiful tones of cream, gold, and sienna. The colors are very bold yet the smooth glow of the ocean and passionate essence in the sky creates a calm feeling. Through streaks of whispering clouds, the radiating Moon gravitates you to a dreamlike state.

I've recently bought a Sigma 8mm f/3.5 EX DG circular fisheye lens.

The image circle's diameter is a bit under 20mm [Calculated as (circle's diameter in pixels / image's width in pixels) * 24], with two circles surrounding it - apparently something inside the lens. I'm attaching an image to illustrate. I expected the image to be 23mm-24mm in diameter.

Is this the lens' correct behavior, or should I send it to be fixed ?

Thanks in advance, Uri.

Feb 3, 2012

I'd like to start off by saying that I've been a regular visitor to the site for about a year now, and I love the discussions I have seen on the forums. I really enjoy this site, and am excited to be a part of it.

I currently have a 60D with the 18-135 kit lens (which I got in March of last year), the 50 f/1.8 II, and also a 430 EXII flash. I love all of my gear right now, but wanted to add a higher quality telephoto zoom to my collection. I have been debating back and forth between the 70-200 f/2.8L IS II USM and the f/4L IS USM for quite some time. I am concerned about the weight of the 2.8, as everyone mentions that it can be a burden. I also thought that if I am going to spend $1200 at least, that I might regret not spending the extra $800 and getting the f/2.8 IS II over the f/4L IS, as the 2.8 is the best in its class.

I shoot a variety of things, but my favorite shots are almost all in the 70-135 range of my current set up. Low light is sometimes an issue. The 2.8 is an expensive lens, but I wanted to get some more opinions before making any decision (and also before the current rebate expires, as it is a good one!).

Thanks!

Anyone else remember the way Canon launched the 5D MkII? With a week long teaser of a crescent moon growing every day as they revealed a little more of the camera, finally showing it off in all its glory.

The point is are Canon really going to do that kind of campaign again? Did it work, do they consider it success? I wonder if we will see a repeat of this for the 5D X/MkIII or whether there will be a single announcement as normal.

<strong>Canon PowerShot SX240HS

</strong>It’s not a 5D Mark III, but it’s something.</p>
<p>A photograph of the upcoming Canon PowerShot SX240 HS arrived moments ago. It seems it gets an increase from 14x zoom to 20x zoom. Probably a minor mp bump and DIGIC 5 as well. I’d expect it to be announced next week for CP .</p>

I do not currently own an extender, therefore the lack of f/8 AF on the 1D X wouldn't impact my phot
