    Canon EOS 3 autofocus issue with modern lenses

    I've tried two EOS 3 35mm film camera bodies now and they both have the same autofocus issue. At a certain point, once wide enough, they begin to back-focus, up to infinite, which becomes totally unusable. The lenses I've been using are the Canon 35L II, 24-70L II, Sigma 50 Art. It focuses fine...

    5Ds or 5DsR

    Sigma dock (for 50mm)

    Alright, so I bought the dock. Now someone tell me what to do! Stupid question but of course there's no answer anywhere: if the lens is backfocusing (i.e. focusing behind the focus point), do I go + or - ? Also are all versions from the same year different? If not, is there one way to do it...

    45mm vs. 90mm tilt-shift

    So I've finally given up waiting for the new L tilt-shifts and have decided to grab either the current 45mm or 90mm. Right now I'm thinking I'm gonna go with the 90mm because I want it more for portraits, but the 45mm is still calling my name as I see it as a more versatile lens. Thoughts?

    50mm f/1.4 Canon vs. Sigma

    I currently have the Canon version and while sometimes it takes amazing images, a lot of the time I find it's super soft or just misses focus. I also own the 85mm f/1.8, which I find to be much sharper and hits focus a lot more often, so it's not me having a focus issue. My question is, would...

    5D3 stills in video mode - cropped

    When I shoot RAW stills in the middle of recording a video, it takes a full image, which I can view in RAW on my computer, but when I bring it into Lightroom or Camera Raw, it automatically gets cropped. Anyone know how I can import these images without having them cropped??

    Canon IS primes sale price?

    Anyone remember the price for the IS primes (24, 28, 35) earlier this year when they were on sale? Thinking about buying the 35 (mostly for video) soon and wondering if there's a chance of it having a good price for the holidays.

    24 TS-E Problem

    Just rented a copy of the version 2 and for some reason it's only opening to f/4, as opposed to f/3.5. Tried on a couple cameras. Anyone ever had this happen??

    Knockoff Speedlights

    jpg vs. RAW...

    For timelapses. Discuss. Does it depend on how far apart your intervals are so the camera has enough buffer time, etc?

    Next Lens - Help

    So my current lenses are 8-15 f/4 L, 24-70 f/2.8 II L, 50 f/1.4, 70-200 f/4 IS L, 100 f/2.8 L, with a 5D3. I'm trying to decided between the 85L and the 24 TS-E for my next lens, which is a night and day decision. It will probably be my last (expensive) lens for a while. I shoot basically...

    Filters for 24-70 II

    What are your guys' views on protective filters? Haven't used them before, but the front element is huge on this thing, plus it's the most expensive lens I've got, so I'm a bit worried. Anyone going no filter for this thing? Also, what's a good ND filter to get for it? Looking for a 0.9 or 1.2...
