    Another question on tripod and ballhead

    Hello, my dear Canon friends. I hope all is going well. I used to have RRS TVC-33 tripod with BH-55 LR ballhead sometime ago but had to part with them to fund the school. Now the school is over, and I'm thinking about picking up another tripod set. My heaviest setup will weigh ~15lb (Fuji GFX50s...

    Few questions to Zeiss 100 makro lens owners

    Hi guys! I use Canon 70D with 100 2.8L macro lens in the dental clinic taking close-up photographs of my patient's teeth and gingiva.

    Is there a way to lock focus ring?

    Manual macro lenses for intraoral photographs

    Hello guys. I take some intraoral photographs in the dental clinic using 70d and 100 2.8L. The combo works well, but sometimes I don't like the colors of the mouth tissues, even if shoot RAW. Once in a while I read very nice reviews about some other macro lenses (e.g., Voigtlander SL 125 2.5...

    Hi guys! I've recently purchased 85 1.2ii and I was hoping I wouldn't see purple fringing, but it's there. For those who have 85 1.2ii, does any of you have no purple fringing? Or it's a hallmark of all copies of the lens? What's the best way to get rid of it in post-processing? Thank you :)
