My first two L lenses were the 24-70 2.8L II and the 70-200 2.8L IS II. And I still think that was the best decision. Both excellent and versatile. But over time I needed other lenses for specific applications: fast primes for low light dance (weddings), macro for ring shots, etc. 85 prime was...

Yeah, right?! Seems like a curved sensor had lots of hurdles to overcome to be economical!

Yeah... the 35L II is probably the LAST lens I'll be updating! Still one of the best Canon lenses made! I'm keeping my EF L glass but when adding new glass I'm getting the RF versions. So far only have the RF 50L (amazing glass). Would eventually probably upgrade my EF 24-70 f/2.8L II (mainly to...

So, can you use the basic EF / RF adapters (those used with the R-series cameras)?

For about the same price as a 5D4, you can get an EOS R plus an Atomos Ninja V. That gives you your 10-bit 4:2:2, and waveform monitors. However, the 1080p out of the EOS R and 5D4 look so good, I don't really have to shoot in 4K except for the flexibility in post. Full frame 4K would be nice...

Just received the Ninja and haven’t even unboxed it yet... then I see this! Just hope it’s true!

So, ignoring all the drama over what was left out. I'm not up to date about the Silent Shutter update. Does this mean that I can just shoot as I normally do (Servo AF) and high speed, but with silent shutter enabled? Simple as that? Any downside to this? With regard to Eye-AF, I find that for...

Unfortunately, you can only record to EITHER the CF or the SD card. Either one can record video, but only one at a time. Using Sandisk Extreme Pro cards, I can record 4K to either my 256GB CF card, or to my 256GB SD card. (See page 346 of 5D4 user manual)

I also had two 6Ds. Just bought the 5D4 a few months ago. I use the cameras side-by-side, and the 6D still provides excellent results. However, I'm getting a bit more into video now, and really love the dual pixel AF in video on the 5D4! In addition to the A6500 which is my B-cam, I'm...

I shoot video with 5D Mark IV. After a recent wedding, I went to download the footage off of my 256GB Samsung Extreme Pro CF Card (a $297 investment). When shooting video, even a dual card camera only shoots to one card at a time (maybe some other high end cameras shoot to both simultaneously...

I'm one of those people who would have loved to see 4K in the 6D2. I shoot BOTH photography and videography at weddings. I have the 5D4 and Sony A6500 and original 6Ds (2X). The 5D4 is great as it does both photo and video very well. The A6500 is awesome for video, but I don't use it for...

Canon can release anything they want, and buyers have lots of options. For me personally, I have a 5D4, two 6Ds, and a Sony A6500. I've mostly shot photography, but recently started shooting wedding video. I'm still probably 70% Photo, and 30% video. So, for me, the 5D4 is great, with awesome...

Sony A6500. I shoot weddings with 5D4 and A6500. Most of the time, the A6500 is on a gimbal. I often use the 1080p @ 120fps. Slow motion looks great. Good in low light. AF is close to Canon (not quite a flexible) and completely usable. (Side note: the 5D4 footage is really beautiful! Lots of...

I'm really liking my 5D4. I also just started to shoot more video. Nevertheless, most of my wedding gigs for this year are for photography, and only a few for videography. So the 5D4 is a really great solution for me. However, I also picked up a Sony A6500 to help with the video chores and as...

Canon's Zooms are pretty amaziing, and recently they gave some love to the primes with the 35 1.4L II. I think they need to address updates to their L primes. 50mm f/1.2L. I actually really like this lens, but if they were to give it some of the 35L 1.4L II love, it could be truly amazing...

I own two 6Ds. Both have very good focus with most of the 6 lenses I own. However, my 24-70 f/2.8L II is 'off' on both. I want to join CPS just generally to have my gear serviced occasionally... but I'm wondering about having my 24-70 calibrated. Can they calibrate just the lens, or do I need to...

Some Portraits with the 100mm f/2.8L Macro:

A little bit different take on this... I have the 35mm f/1.4L II at the wide end (not super wide, I know) and at the long end, I have the 100mm f/2.8L Macro and the 70-200 f/2.8L IS II. I really want the 135mm f/2 at some point, but I'm already pretty well set at the long end for now. I used...

Re: Canon 35mm/1.4 II Amazing lens! Beautiful color and sharpness. I use mine almost exclusively for people shots - not close-up head shots, but environmental. Here's a few I have at hand...

Prime example: 50mm f/1.2L. This is certainly not the sharpest lens. It has adequate sharpness in the center wide open, but has beautiful bokeh and creates very beautiful images. It is, however, something of a specialty lens in that regard. If I am shooting group shots or something less arty...
