I think the Smallrig battery is likely the same product as this (or a Chinese copy thereof): https://mathorn.com/ultimate-batteries/mb-202/ from Poland. I've been using the slightly older Mathorn type: https://mathorn.com/standard-batteries/mb-201/ for nearly half a year now and it's a good...

Good point. I had a Canon Eg-S Super Precision Matte Focusing Screen in a 5DMk2 and even with that it was a struggle to manually nail focus with anything faster than f/2.8. On the Mk3 just have to rely purely on AF confirmation but that rules out 'dumb' lenses without an Exif/AF chip. (I modded...

Nice mod, but with the RF mount you can simply use an FD-RF mount converter and be done with it without any modification to that precious old glass?

It reminds me of 'The Circle (2017)'... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4287320/

Re: won't upgrade to it EF-S lenses and that Sigma 18-35 won't work on a full frame body so your Canon investment would mean your logical upgrade path would be an APS-C body (7DMkII). Only your flash and 50mm f/1.4 can be used on a 6D Mk II and because you would have to change most of your...

Fortunately Shanghai is not always smoggy, at least it was clear when I was there in 2015 :) Here's some pano's I processed recently. Almost done editing pics from my China trip more than a year later... Got some strong magnets there! ;D :o

If I need range and versatility, I'll grab my 70-300L which is not f/4 at the long end but delivers excellent image quality even when used wide open. I found my 100-400L Mk I to be disappointing in comparison to the 70-300L, and when I invested in a 2x MkIII to make my 70-200 L IS II go to 400...

70-200/2.8 + 1.4x = 98-280/4 70-200/2.8 + 2.0x = 140-400/5.6 ;)

That can be really useful for travel purposes. I don't usually take the best and biggest with me when I travel and it can be comforting to reduce the total weight and value of the equipment you carry depending on the destination. In this way I have a compliment of lenses that I consider my...

+1. This one's off my list of potentially good lightweight travel lenses. Looks like Tamron will have continuing success selling the 70-300 VD USD.

Awesome!

I get that with nano USM, the LCD screen is a great way to get distance info in an otherwise mechanically uncoupled system. But ff crop conversion factors and shake indication? That's just dumb adding of useless features.

Re: Capture High-Quality Action Shots and Video From Afar with the New Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 I aha ;D

Cool, I like 'crude' motorsports 8)

Re: Capture High-Quality Action Shots and Video From Afar with the New Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 I Nice upgrade, but does anybody see the sense of the LCD screen?

Thank you for your kind comments. To add to the diversity (and your entertainment), here's a few from an event (mayhem is a better word) I had the pleasure of running into, rather unexpectedly I might add. These were shot using my Sony α6000 and 55-210 OSS which I had with me at the time.

I saw an old post here about Tractor Pulling, well... I shoot that too :) These were all taken with my 70-300L and 5DMkIII.

Some shots I made last weekend at the Gamma Racing Days in Assen, the Netherlands that I'd like to share. It was the first time using my brand new Sigma 150-600 Sports on my 5DMkIII. I luckily found a good new spot on a remote location of the track that gave good results with the strong sunlight...

Interesting alternative!

Thanks ajfotofilmagem, in this light I now read the manual differently. I somehow understood it functioned both as RF and optical master. old-pr-pix, It's a bit of a bummer that the 430EXIII RT doesn't work as an optical master, but it's not an option I will be likely to use. I was...
