    Will Tamron and Sigma start producing lenses for Canon RF mount?

    I wonder when Sigma and Tamron will start producing lenses for Canon RF mount, as both are producing excellent lenses for Sony E-mount that are sometimes even better than Sony equivalents. Any thoughts?

    Why my camera always sticks to ISO 400 when using external flash in AUTO ISO?

    I don't normally use speedlites because I do a lot of school sports and landscape but recently I was shooting family pictures at a family ceremony and I left the ISO in AUTO and later realized that the camera always set the ISO to 400 regardless I was indoor or outdoor or at any different level...

    Lenstip finished their review of the Sigma 24mm f1.4 Art

    Their comments favour a little over the Canon and Nikkor counterparts, except for coma. But Sigma's lens is about a half price. Enjoy the reading. http://www.lenstip.com/2122-news-Sigma_A_24_mm_f_1.4_DG_HSM_-_lens_review.html

    Would you replace the old 24-70mm f2.8L by the Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 VC?

    I came across with a good offer for the Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 VC and I am wondering if replacing my old 24-70 f2.8L is worth it. I know DxO has rated the Tamron just one point behind the new Canon 24-70mm f2.8L II but anyone have experienced the Tamron in real life situations. Is is that good?

    How excited are you about the new 7D II?

    I certainly is an improvement from the old 7D, specially in AF terms and speed. Some more resolution has been put on the sensor, intervalometer and GPS have been added and few more features. Obviously the target are wildlife and sport photographers that want the extra reach of an APS-C camera...

    Gripped 5D Mark III + 85mm f1.2L, any improvement in AF speed?

    I have rented the 85mm f1.2L and its AF turns to be slooowwww, even on my 5D3. I have heard that its AF is a little faster on 1Dx due to higher voltage of the battery. Have any of you experience any improvement in the EF 85 f1.2L AF speed when adding battery grip? Thanks
