    Battery Life Query

    I just purchased a EF 100 f/2 for indoor water polo. I seem to be getting more shots using my 6D with that lens per battery charge than with my 24 70 4 L IS or my Tamron 45 1.8 VC (these being the 2 lenses that most often stay on my camera for a full battery cycle) I have not click counted...

    M3 v 6D AF speed and shutter lag...

    I am seeing numbers of .13 for the EOS M3 v .29 for EOS 6D on shutter lag. Testers (imaging-resource) used a Sigma lens on the 6D test though :o. Can someone who has used both of these bodies comment on AF speed and lag comparison. Is it close? Thanks,

    EF 24 105 manufacturing location switch...

    Is it significant that the 24 105 L is now being made in Oita? Through 2013 this lens was being made in Utsunomiya. Saw my first 2014 model and it had an OCxxxx code on it... Regardless of significance, why would they make that switch?
