A collection for your perusal.... "Blackbird Making Perch.bmp" EOS 7D, EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM @ 400mm, 1/1600 s, f/6.3, ISO 1600 "Duck Nourishment Gulping.dng" EOS 1D X, EF 600mm f/4L IS II + EF 2x III Extender, 1/2500 s, f/11, ISO 2000 "Egret Parasol Splash.eps" EOS 1D X, EF 600mm...

Received an email from B&H last night with a unique promo code offering additional discounts on multiple Canon products. The one that jumped out as an especially sweet deal was the EL-5, priced at $199. The promo runs through 07-Mar. KEH is offering $100 for a 600EX-RT flash, so swapping...

Surprised there's not a thread for the EF-M 'superzoom' lens. After the M11-22, the M18-150 is my most-used EF-M lens (I have the full set). "Financial District IR" – as seen from my room on the top (32nd) floor of the Parc 55 Hotel EOS M6, full spectrum conversion, EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS...

Amazon has a great deal on the RF 24-240mm lens, which you can purchase for a mere $19,686.45. Better yet, as shown at the bottom left you can buy the Amazon Renewed version and save $18,771.50. This is listed as ships from and sold by Amazon. Act fast, at this price the lens will go quickly...

Post your shots from the One Zoom to rule all standard zooms, combining the useful focal range of the 24-105/4 with the faster aperture of the 24-70/2.8 and beating both on IQ. My first impression of the lens is that it's reminiscent of the EF 70-200/2.8 zooms but with a petite hood – not a...

Post your shots from Canon's initial 'halo' lens for the RF system. This is the lens that stays mounted on my R3 for family shots around the house. It's also great for indoor events. "Wren" EOS R3, RF 28-70mm f/2L USM @ 70mm, 1/60 s, f/2.2, ISO 500 "Dove" EOS R3, RF 28-70mm f/2L USM @...

Post your shots from Canon's first non-L lens reaching 400mm. The lens is light enough to bring along while traveling but delivers image quality nearly as good as the RF 100-500, at a surprisingly low price. For many, this will be a great lens for birds and wildlife, and with the close minimum...

Some of the Apple aficionados out there may be familiar with the backstory of the iconic warning sound, at least with one of the many versions of the story. The true version was shared by the developer who created that and other system sounds. Back at the end of the 80’s when System 7 was...

Got this in my inbox. Seems like Nov 2nd will be a big day. Wonder what this is? Tracking mount as suggested by the background? We’ll see…

Lots of Amazon Prime Day deals (for Prime members only), some are Oct 10-11, some are only for 12 hour blocks. Examples include the R8 + RF 24-50 for $1359, R50 + RF-S 18-45 for $700 (or $640 in white), M200 + EF-M 15-45 for $385. Also a bunch of deals on memory cards and batteries (caveat...

Post your images from Canon's fifth 'great white' RF lens and first big white RF zoom, which is also the first big white lens to be designed for RF from the ground up (the first four were adapter±2xTC 'bolt-ons' of the EF 400/2.8 III and 6004/ III, at least from an optical standpoint). This...

Images of and from Mt. Etna on Sicily. We went on a sunset excursion up the mountain during a recent trip to Italy. "Etna Smoke" – Southeast Crater on Mt. Etna, seen from the Etna Observatory at 2800 m. EOS R8, RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM @ 100mm, 1/125 s, f/5.6, ISO 800 "Etna Sunset" EOS...

Post your shots from Canon's first RF pancake lens! I just took mine out of the box, here's my first shot with it. I'll have more in a few weeks, since I'll be bringing this convenient little lens on vacation. "Tiger Lily" EOS R3, RF 28mm f/2.8 STM, 1/320 s, f/2.8, ISO 100

Fun and compact, wide-angle macro lenses like the RF 24/1.8 (using Canon's terminology, although it only achieves 0.5x magnification) have many uses, including food photography and close-up wide angle. Close-up uses aside, the RF 24/1.8 also works well as a wide prime for indoor use. It's...

Post your images takes with Canon's RF 70-200/2.8L. A welcome (for me) redesign of the excellent EF 70-200/2.8 lenses offering improved IQ in a smaller and lighter package. A 70-200/2.8 is an excellent lens for portraits and events, and for a wider view of night sports. Here are a couple of my...

Post your images from Canon's RF 14-35/4. Expensive compared to the EF 16-35/4L IS, but delivers an extra 2mm on the wide end (a little more according to my testing) and remains relatively small and light, and retains the 77mm filter size common to other RF zooms like the 24-105/4, both...

The topic of 'best CPL filter' recently came up. Personally, I prefer B+W filters for most applications (or their parent company, Schneider-Kreuznach, in some cases such as when they had an 82mm 10-stop ND unavailable in the B+W line). In addition to CPLs and NDs, I use B+W filters to protect...

I'm curious...but not curious enough to sign up.
