I'm curious about that as well.

I think it's a good thing. Coming from someone whose been using the Control Ring (CR) adaptor, I would be bummed to loose the ability to control part of the Exposure Triangle on the lens barrel. I currently have the CR set to control the ISO, but I could easily get used to mapping it to the rear...

My guess is their lenses won't have a Control Ring. Is that a fair assumption? Still, I'm a Sigma fan - currently own the 35 and 50 Art lens paired with the R. I would love to own Canon's RF L lenses but good Lord do you need some deep pockets! Sigma RF mount glass would be a nice compromise...

The official U.S. price for this lens will be $2,699.00. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1477265-REG/canon_rf_85mm_f_1_2l_usm.html Cheers!

Yes, the Eye-AF appears to be locking on at same distance in Servo as it does with One-shot (aka non-Servo). It's not like Sony's where it locks onto the eye at extreme distances, which is pointless if you ask me. Could it be a little further, like 3/4? Yes. But I'll take it.

My short initial testing of the update is good. I'm in the US and without realizing I installed the Canada version. Does this matter? What are the implications?

I'm currently charging my battery for the update. I'm looking forward to this a lot!

That's a good question. I initially thought it was the spot AF as seen in the RP (and other higher-end DSLRs). But maybe you're right - maybe it's just the smaller AF that is found on non-servo. Crossing my fingers hoping that it's the former (RP's single point). But like you said, I too am...

As a software developer, I could see this being a really cool feature for developing apps for the camera. HTTP-based communication (i.e. REST API) is far more accessible than whatever proprietary thing they have currently.

Man, that 70-200 looks amazing! It's so compact. I'm also real curious about the 85 DS - how much of a difference it is compared to the normal version. They're all great; who am I kidding!!

As minimal of an update that it is, I'm happy to report the silent shooting in continuous works with face tracking BUT not with Eye-AF. Something is better than nothing, I suppose. FYI... I updated via SD card.

Can someone explain to me what "soft focus" is? Is it really what it sounds? Instead of a tach sharp image, you have soft image... similar to Lens Baby?

Yes, I discovered that turning off the hotshoe unit the exposure preview is enabled again. I suppose your workaround is viable. But slows workflow a little. I guess it's just something to learn and get used to with the mirrorless systems.

I have noticed that whenever I mount something to the hotshoe, the exposure preview and meetering is off. My triggers and flashes are Godox. I've looked and I can't seem to find a setting for this. Anyone else experiencing this?

I received my R and CR adaptor (control ring) from Adorama yesterday. I live in the east coast of the U.S.

The Sigma 35 and 50 ART work wonderfully. Super fast and precise AF performance. I had one issue earlier with the 35 but it turns out it was due to some in-camera lens correction. After disabling it, it was fine (see my posts above). Thanks for the tip @Shane1.4!

I guess there's some good news - it's not showing up on the files. Must be something wrong with both EVF and rear screen.

Damn it! I think I found a real issue with mine. I appears that I have a dead pixel on the sensor.

There's like five settings. For me it was the Peripheral illumination corr. I now want to get the manual and find out what this is. Thanks again @Shane1.4!!
