Another Confirmation on the Upcoming Canon Lenses & New Flash

Would also be nice as an RT slave, that you could control from an E3-RT.

The best part about the TS lenses for me is that they can be used on the Fuji GFX with adapters.

Re: Another Confirmation on the Upcoming Canon Lenses as well as a New Macro Flash

About time with the macro flash, but still no RT in the name? It will be a serious disappointment if it isn't RT enabled.

Canon brought out the new ring-lite MR-14EX II after they released the 600-RT, and it came without RT. That greatly surprised me, because I somehow assumed RT was going to be the new standard. It is just so much more advanced than optical control. I see advantages of RT over optical systems also for macro work - not having to place the slaves' optical sensors facing the Twin-Light (outdoors) or simply out of the line-of-sight would be convenient - but range would not be problematic.

So, frankly, I could not understand Canon's omission of RT from the MR-14EX II, but I wouldn't bet on the new Twin-Lite having RT, after all, Canon has a history of not including it...

That's really awesome! And as a bonus they can also be used on any Canon body without an adapter!

Jopa,

I was so excited to read that I can attach TS-E lenses to any Canon camera that I pulled out my old and trusty Canon Power Shot G5 camera, please see the image attached and thought I will give it a shot
How do I disconnect the lens from the camera? I am stucked here, totally.
Do you think that I should give the camera a gentle nudge or apply lubricant to the lens mount to loosen it up a little bit? The camera is slightly old and I never changed lenses on it ever. Thank you, Sir.

The whole process actually involves 4 steps:

Step1: remove old lens with special tool (see figure 1)
Step2: get yourself the necessary EF-mount (see figure 2)
Step3: attach the mount to the powershot using special tool (see figure 3)
Step4: attach TS-lens (trivial, not shown)

regards!

PS: anyone knows how to use images in-line istead of attachments?
