This is a long shot but here goes. The hood on the 600mm f4L is secured to the lens by a screw and wedge system. The wedge has become de-threaded which means it keeps dropping off when not attached to the lens. I am sure I will eventually lose it. Does anyone have any idea of the thread...

I am thinking of moving over to the R5 from my 5DIV/7D2. With a slew of L lenses in the cupboard, this is a big move and one of the issues is performance of the EF lenses on the R5 body. I have read that the maximum frame rate using EF lenses on the R5 is 6 fps but other people are reporting 9...

I am trying to update the firmware on my 7DII from 1.0.4 to 1.1.3. As in the instructions, I have a fresh battery in the camera, the camera is off when I insert the SD card (with .FIR file on it) and it is set to 'P' mode (also tried 'M' mode). I go to the Spanner, menu 5 and highlight 'Firmware...

Holy shutter button, Batman!

I used Google translate which seemed OK: https://news.mynavi.jp/article/20180910-690162/ Some interesting points that I found: The number of pixels itself is the same as EOS 5D Mark IV, but the sensor itself is newly developed...It is raising ISO sensitivity more than EOS 5D Mark IV. Digic 8...

The largest is 31MP APS-C with maximum readout of 12fps at 12-bit - how that will relate to a real-world stills-oriented hybrid camera (acutal fps, dynamic range, monochrome vs colour etc) we shall have to see but this seems to be a significant step forward...

https://www.43rumors.com/ft5-panasonic-will-announce-its-first-full-frame-system-camera-on-september-25/#disqus_thread Interesting they are saying it may have an SL mount and have access to existing Leica lenses. I reckon Sony should be even more worried given the interfaces that Panasonic have...

An interesting article that discusses design decisions with Nikon reps. https://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2018/08/28/nikon-z7-engineer-interview-deep-dive-q One interesting part that stuck out for me was : Maybe that was why the new NOCT lens is not AF?

The video in this link is from Kevin Raber of Luminous Landscape and although I think the theme of a 'war' is hyerpbole he does towards the end bring bring some interesting comments on the tactics of different manufacturers: have Nikon introduced a larger flange to enable them to make multiple...

Why the pink tape....? If you are trying to conceal something it seems a very obvious way to do it....

I am looking at getting a laptop with USB-C connectors - one USB-C port and two Thunderbolt 3 ports. My card reader and external hard drives both have USB-A connections. I know I can get USB-A to USB-C adapters but will they then work with the Tunderbolt ports? Or do I need to get specialist...

Has anyone come across this news? It is in French but Google Translate is helpful...apparently it relates to the DxO software and while not bankrupt it seems they are having problems https://www.chassimages.com/forum/index.php/topic,282652.0.html

I have known about the TED lectures for years, but only recently dived into the random search smorgasboard. And I cam upon this gem - I know it isn't photography but, heck, I hope you will forgive me. I know the crows are really intelligent but I found it fascinating and wanted to share...

I am looking at different ways of backing up my photos and was after any advice from people who have better routines than I do. I am purely an amateur and I have all my photos on a portable hard drive so I can take photos between the laptop (for initial culling and keywording) and the desktop...

Just supposin'.... Talking to a third party rep yesterday and he was saying that there are some new marketing figures coming out showing that Canon are no longer #1 for FF camera sales. Apparently this was sales based on profit, not shipping and Sony had taken #1. Though not sure if it was...

An interesting interview on Image Resource with Sony Execs about the A7R3. Not so much the camera itself but the main design drivers. So it looks like they are admitting their main impulse was 'cram as much technology as possible' endless about 'can we design a usable camera'. So if they are...

I am going to New Zealand for 3 weeks in March next year and looking at what lenses to take for landscape. I am not an avid landscape photographer but from when I was there 20 years ago I want to make the most of it and get the best possible images. I last went there as part of a 2-year...

Following the announcement of the D850, there is chatter about Canon's response and some of this has been on the level of MP and frame rate. If any manufacturer shows any step back on anything regards image quality they get a hail of abuse irrespective of the practical consideration and the area...
