    Almost Christmas or April 1st?

    A Nikon that can see in the dark? Probably just click-bait. Free Click Bait Advertising Removed Don't shoot the messenger!

    Sigma's replacement for the 85mm f1.4

    Whilst speaking to a Sigma employee I asked if they knew anything about a replacement for the 85mm. Although they understandably couldn't give any specifics, nudge nudge, wink wink, they did suggest that a large number of 85mm owners had been giving feedback and based on that, the next lens...

    NASA shows off real dynamic range.

    Those clever people at NASA have been busy winning the DR wars. http://www.nasa.gov/feature/revolutionary-camera-recording-propulsion-data-completes-groundbreaking-test So is this the secret new feature that the 5D4 will have? :)

    DXO claim 1DX2 new class leader

    http://www.dxomark.com/Reviews/Canon-EOS-1D-X-Mark-II-sensor-review-New-class-leader "The Canon performs exceptionally well. Not only does it have a wider useful dynamic range at base and low ISOs than the Nikon, it’s not far behind the Sony, and that small difference won’t be noticed in use...

    1DX2 illuminated focus points

    Does anyone else have this "phenomenum" (as Canon would put it)? When you focus, the selected point or group is nice and bright (wherever it's positioned) and the other available focus points are quite faint in comparison - so far, so good. The "issue" I have is with the brightness of the other...

    So what goes inside a big white?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQp_0b2umto Interesting but they could show a bit more about the manufacturing process. (I'm sure Nikon and Sigma wouldn't take a sneaky peak ;) )

    Any 1DX2 users upgrading to a 4K monitor?

    Now that my 5D3 is gone and another month or so to wait for my 1DX2, I've got time to kill looking at other toys. Have any of you got a 4K monitor for editing? Did you go for "full" 4K i.e. 4096*2160 rather than 3840*2160? Not looking to buy just yet but interested to hear what monitors are...

    Is there a cheap method of rejuvenating rubber on lens?

    I'm considering selling my 70-200 f4 IS and getting the f2.8 so I want my lens to look its best prior to sale. The rubber on the zoom ring has started to go slightly white but everything works perfectly. Is there an easy way of getting the rubber back to its original colour? I read on the web...

    1DX2: Dynamic Range

    At the risk of starting a thread that will possibly degenerate into name calling and acknowledgement that DxO are the masters of measurement ( :o), I'll expand here on a recent post I made regarding an article in UK magazine, Amateur Photographer. Written by Bob Newman, a Prof. of Computer...

    100mm f2.8 IS macro - due for replacement?

    I sold my Tamron 90mm macro some months ago with the intention of getting the Canon next time there was a cash-back deal. There's now a £75 cash-back here in the UK so I could get one for £544 (plus I'm off work this coming week so I'd have a new toy to play with whilst waiting on a 1DX2 or 5D4...

    Possible 1DX2 silent shutter sound?

    A number of us are waiting to hear what the silent shutter mode sounds like and I may have found it. Hopefully anyone that can speak Russian might be able to confirm what the presenter is saying. Found this video and at 2:28 you hear the full 14fps and at 4:25 to 4:53 you hear (what I believe)...
