EOS R and 135 L issue?

[Viggo]

« I'm wondering if Viggo is just asking the camera to do something its processor is unable to keep up with?»

It works fine with other lenses so no. And no one ever would be okay with a lens missing this much. I would have ten times the hit rate with MF

Tried with Focus Priority, and it was even worse, not one out of 15 shots where in focus. Tried the same with the 50 and every single shot was spot on.

It was bought second hand, and immediately thought it was an issue with it. I’ve had it a thousand times before, at least ten different copies, and I’ve had those who are very soft and/or poor AF, and I’ve had those that are epic in every way, nothing in between. I sent a message to the seller and told him this and he thought I had broken it, but I literally just took it out of the box and tried. So he refused to take it back unless he got it back and THEN, perhaps l, refund me, not gonna happen.

I have no other body to try it on atm.

There is this slight squeaky noise from the AF motor I’ve experienced before and that time it was the same missing shots behavior and the lens was replaced with a new one.

We have this system in Norway where we can report cases like this and some third party person will help us resolve this, I have reported it, but it will take 12-15 weeks ...

Ebay purchase?

Ebay purchase?

Nope, through the biggest site in Norway for buying and selling used anything

I tried R with EF 135L today for several hours, in doors, handheld, various shooting modes and various aperture. Overall about 1000 shots. For stationary objects keeper rate was 97% and for slow moving objects was around 92%.
I did not try it with flashes though and used ambient light only. The combination is slow to focus for sure but nothing out of ordinary, I guess. Needless to say that my copy of 135L is about 10 years old, has excellent optics and well maintained.

Bugger! Let it go of your hands, Viggo!

Hi good people!

I recently bought a 135 L to use with my R.

But I get seriously disappointing results regarding Servo AF. My RF50 can’t miss, and the 135 can’t hit.

It’s okay, but only okay, in One Shot and in servo I get a 2 out of 15 shots sharp, the rest is so OOF you can’t tell who I took a picture of.

Anyone has used this combo and like to chime in with your experience?

Thanks!

Had an F2 135 for years.

First shot with my trusty crusty 24-70 f2.8 in the dark with the R. Felt like my lens got an upgrade with af off the sensor and focused in areas in the dark where my 5d3 couldn’t.

Then shot with F135 and despite being an f2, had less of a hit ratio in same location.
