All I want is a 400 5.6 IS. Ever hopeful.

I'm thinking that there won't be a 7d mark iii. Mirrorless is obviously where canon is heading with its lens development, except for the big primes. And if one can afford a big prime, I think canon might be happy with them also having to buy a 1dx-class ef-mount body. How many people really...

It makes a difference on my 7dii. If I use speed priority I get a lot more oof shots; it's a big enough problem that, for me, I leave AI Servo 2nd in focus priority. In many situations I don't find that the camera is any slower, so 3fps for the mirrorless sounds s-l-o-w. I guess that's what the...

Ah, that makes sense, I guess, good for Canon but not so good for those of us with a few lenses that we like!

Can someone explain to me why a mirrorless camera can't just have an EF mount? Why can't it be a camera that's like the current cameras, but mirrorless? With all the great EF lenses, what's the advantage of a new mount?

Sure 12fps would be good, but I think 10 is plenty for me. What I'd most like is an increase in the quality of the sensor. And I'd like to loose the AA filter (I use a 5DSR a lot and have had zero problems). I'd also like an AF mode that worked between for subjects that are totally still and...

+1 I just don't see moire problems in the photos I'm taking with this camera.

Works for me: https://flic.kr/p/Ps6jbT https://flic.kr/p/MRLLWH https://flic.kr/p/Nc45JH I have a 7dII and a 5DSr, and I don't see much of a difference in the af for what I shoot. It's lovely to have all those megapixels!

I have a couple of ART lenses, though not the 135. I have found that FoCal does not work well with them. In both cases I get a bunch of inconsistencies. But in real world they are fine, once the right AFMA is dialled in. That, without FoCal, takes a bit of patience. But once I get the right...

One of the locals...

My attitude is pretty simple. 1) Avoid being paranoid. 2) Don't worry too much. 3) Don't be attached to material possessions. 4) Don't escalate anything, ever. 5) Always acquiesce. So far I've never had to be past step 2.

I just bought the 85 and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Interesting to see the 135 is very nearly the same weight, shorter and squatter, with a smaller filter size and one less element. I wonder what the MTFs will look like?! EDIT: MTFs here (the chart for the 135 looks more than a bit impressive)...

My experience is similar. My 35A is 99% accurate on my 5dsr, and 50% on my 7dii. (I don't have a dock, I do have focal.)

After tc202's shot I think I might give up... But here's a portrait anyway... I think the 400 5.6 still does a good job :) Kestrel [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelhooper/], on Flickr

This makes sense to me. Though I would love to upgrade my 400 5.6 to an IS model. It's great for birds in flight at the moment, but it would also be useful to have IS for when the bird lands and I don't want to use 1/2000... I can see why a lot of people like the 100-400 but birds don't hang...

Do we know why the new card won't allow raw files to be sent?

I had a great time in Rome for a week with 1 body and a Sigma 35 1.4. No changes of lens, no fussing about. Having that restriction meant I had to look harder for my shots, but I was happy with the result and I don't feel like I missed anything. And I didn't have to think about keeping track of...

My experience was also not good. It seems that I didn't select what 'reward' I wanted (because I didn't want a reward, just a filter...), and so I had a terse message saying 'You didn't select any rewards, so you're not getting any filters.' I tried the online chat and they suggested emailing to...

Gotcha.

As someone thinking about getting a 5DSr, this is one of the things I can't get my head around. So many posts saying that a high shutter speed / tripod is needed, but I don't have a problem with this using a 7DII... Is shutter-speed any more critical on a 5DS than on a 7DII? (I tend to shoot at...
