Sup guys,
I have a problem that maybe you can help with. I shoot weddings and when I do the dancefloor I run a combo of the 35 1.4 mkii and the EF 16-35 F4 IS.
This question is about the 16-35 and it's bigger brother the RF 15-35 2.8
When I shoot a dancefloor I use strobes on camera and behind the subject and the lens is set to manual focus, infinity and the camera is set to F8. Essentially the old pj rule of 'F8 and be there'
I'd like to move to the RF 2.8 version as it's not that much heavier than the combined weight of the F4 + adapter and I'll benefit from better EVF performance when it's super dark.
Yet, because it's in manual focus I worry I'll knock the ring somehow and throw the focus without realising it. I get around this with the EF version by putting a rubber band around the focus ring but I'm wondering if there's a more elegant way to fix the focal point via the body. I've never really liked using the rubber band because I get comments of 'Did you break your lennnnns'? and it seems a clunky (albeit effective) solution.
