    Price Drop: Canon EOS RP w/24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM $999 (Reg $1399)

    I bought this combo about a year ago right when the 24-240 was released and paid about twice the current price for it. I hadn't planned on doing so, but I injured my foot right before a trip to Morocco and I could not handle the weight of my 6D and several L lenses. So I took the RP with the...

    Rare lens damaged in shipping, what would you do?

    Why do you say you’ll probably go to Midwest Camera and show the lens to them? You don’t live very far away, just make an appointment and go there. It seems like they would have the answers to/advice regarding all of your questions, including whether the lens can be fixed, how much that would...

    Using an iPAD and external drive for travel

    OP: This is a very important point and not one to be underestimated. I don't know where you are going or the conditions you will be facing, but when I went to Tanzania a few years ago, I made the decision to stay in lodges not tented camps so I'd have more and continued access to power. What I...

    Thank you for the information. I didn't pay attention to the dates. I hope Surapon is well and just busy with other things.

    Dear Surapon, Those are fantastic shots you took from your window seat! Would you be willing to share your technique for getting such great shots? Mine never come out anywhere near like yours. Best regards, Vivid Color

    Keeping your gear dry...

    And it weighs a "mere" 3 pounds! That's a lot of weight, to me at least. And, FWIW, I used to watch the Flying Nun when I was a kid. :) Vivid

    Specs & Images of the EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM & EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II Leak Out

    Re: Images of the EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM & EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II Leak Out My first SLR was a Honeywell Pentax Spotmatic that was fully manual except for the light meter. I had four primes, or, as they were called at the time, fixed focal length lenses: 28 mm, 55 mm, 105 mm, and...

    Skukuza Rest Camp in Kruger park

    Unless you will be traveling with someone who is not a photographer, but is willing to hold another camera body and lens, I would only take two camera bodies. Depending on how many people are in the vehicle, space maybe tight and you may not have the space to spread out your equipment to a...

    Deal: Refurbished DSLR & Lens Deals at the Canon Store

    Re: Deal: Refurbished DSLR & Lens Deals at the Canon Store The Canon refurbished store must've had elves helping them. My new lens, which I ordered yesterday at noon, arrived this afternoon! And I did not pay extra for this – – I just went with the regular free shipping. I was in such a rush to...

    Patent: Canon EF 16-40mm f/4

    Re: Patent: Canon EF 16-40mm f/4L I agree that this lens would join a crowded field. The only way it makes sense to me is if it were a non-L lens, perhaps with STM.

    Deal: Refurbished DSLR & Lens Deals at the Canon Store

    Re: Deal: Refurbished DSLR & Lens Deals at the Canon Store I lucked out and was able to buy the 16-35 mm F/4 lens. I've been wanting to get that lens for a long time but could not justify buying it at full price. And I've lost out on other refurb sales before because I didn't see the...

    Patent: Canon EF-M 55mm f/3.5 Macro

    I agree, an f/2.8 lens would've been better. I also would've preferred a slightly longer focal length.

    New Canon USA Website

    I agree that the new site is horrible and I also left feedback using the feedback link. It's really easy and quick to do and I encourage anyone who does not like the new layout of this website to provide your thoughts.

    Flying to Dubai: Which lens should I buy

    I assume from your question that you are only asking about shooting from your seat in the plane and not on the street. Although it will cut some light, I would suggest having a CPL at the ready as the glare off the window of the plane might need to be controlled. I also think the 18-55 kit lens...
