    Stock Notice: Canon RF 28-70mm f/2L USM

    Got mine today, this is an awesome lens!! I've had some of the best like the 200/2 and many more, own the RF50 1.2, RF85 1.2, EF35II, 135/2 and a few more, trust me despite its size, its well worth the money, killer lens on my R5, super chuffed.

    He ain’t lying – THE BEST PRIME LENS. Period. by Peter McKinnon

    I was using this yesterday at the beach, its a great lens and like many I love it, but damm, shooting the waves in bright sun this lens can fringe like a bastid, a feature of the old EF 1.2 that I used to hate. Only thing with the fringing of the RF is its so fine, strong but in my images...

    Firmware: Canon EOS-1D X Mark III v1.2.1

    I like my 1DX3, its defo an upgrade from the Mk2, it's better in a few ways than my R5, focus is solid on the 1DX3, and the camera is truly build like a tank, I love it, I think I am going to keep hold if it too, the OVF has low light advantages over the R5, other night at dusk I gave up with my R5.

    Yes its the res, tbh the Camera is great, better than I could ever wish for. I won't derail the thread but this quick (shot 30 in total I've taken so far) portrait was shot into the sky, Highlights at -100 and shadows are at +100. Moody portrait of the old gits. EOS R5 - RF50 1.2. @ f1.2...

    @skp FW 1.1.0 was installed, it came from Panamoz, great service from them as always, could not get one from the UK dealers, even though my pre order was in early. :( @privatebydesign I've only taken a handful of shots so far, but, 1st thing I notice is noise, its dark here right now and playing...

    Canon R5 recall

    His mate told him so it's TRUE. AND it's on the internet so its definitely TRUE. Cant poke the guy tbh, wish there was a way you could block channels on PooTube. Oh, and I see those Canon lorrys all the time, you know when they are loaded as the tyres bulge at the bottom, and what's more...

    Teardown: The Canon EOS R5 gets an autopsy

    Teardown: The Canon EOS R5 gets an autopsy

    I'm gonna use a chilled cucumber, I think there is room, my plan is to open up the flux chamber and wedge the cucumber between that and the digicdudarthingymajig, this way the cucumber will soak up all the heat and I can remove and rinse later. No problem, well small problem, ain't got me pre...

    Gerald Undone completes exhaustive record time testing on the Canon EOS R5 and Canon EOS R6

    The R5 has certainly caused a stir. I questioned a guy about over heating in stills mode, I chat to CPS often, they have assured me that canon have tested the R5 to death for stills, quote "it DOES NOT overheat", he went on to say "IF the camera was to shut down in stills shooting from heat its...

    The 1DX3 does the same if you close the card slot door. Is the R5 like that?
