Interesting, I had no idea that had existed. I never really ever used a DOF Preview button either.
My first DSLR was a Rebel T1i/500D that I bought in 2009, and it had A-DEP:
A feature like A-DEP would also be useful for focus stacking, mark the starting point, mark the endpoint, and let the camera determine the number of exposures, based on the stepsize and/or aperture. The Helicon focus app works this way (but is very slow).
Magic lantern has that as a module, I used it a lot on my original EOS M.
Autofocus made some photographers so lazy, they can't find the motivation to use an EF to RF adapter!
yes, just like digital photography makes you take photos more opportunistic as opposed to deliberate film photography
That's also how I perceive the future 14 TS lens: as a universal WA lens, not only for architecture. There are even in landscape photography many situations which could benefit from shifting or tilting. Raising a camera to take a picture of a steep mountain distorts it (not the camera, of courseyes, just like digital photography makes you take photos more opportunistic as opposed to deliberate film photography
but jokes aside - i think Canon is looking for things that your smartphone can never do at this point.
hence theyre trying to make exotic lenses accessible through simple features to a wider audience.
RF10-20 is an exotic lens, but now light - likely VERY fun and with IS.
RF15-30 / RF-S 10-18 (i guess) and RF 100-400, RF600 F11 for a very entry level price... all with great IS
I think they're not banking on quality bokeh and thin DoF to help them sell vs. smartphones - esp. since many prosumers typically are afraid of prime lenses - and every channel always speaks about holy trinty anyway. hence they're neglecting them.
I see the TS R AF lens in the same vane as the RF10-20... appeal to a larger audience:
1. they want to break out of indoor/outdoor architecture - which i guess @Hector falls into
2. maybe even make it a unique travel lens for city and dramatic landscape
3. get it in the hands of some wedding photographers who always buy something if it gives them an edge (some of tried and failed with the minature effect)
4. video!!! photography doesnt pay... so professionals are often primarily video shooters and for that AF is insanely helpful
), therefore, I often use the TSE 24 for such pictures. Or trees in a forest, converging lines are not always nice to look at. Tripod use? I never use one. And that's where I see a huge advantage in those Canon patents, especially when tilting... Of course, a professional use is a different case, tripods are basic equipment there.Keith did not seem very enthusiastic about AF.You can probably include Keith (Northlight Images) in that group too
Changing the focus plane can be great with landscapes.That's also how I perceive the future 14 TS lens: as a universal WA lens, not only for architecture. There are even in landscape photography many situations which could benefit from shifting or tilting. Raising a camera to take a picture of a steep mountain distorts it (not the camera, of course
And they still say Canon are not innovating...
Yes, I know, it's presently only a patent, but I'm confident!
Logical!
There's something enjoyable for me about using manual focus and setting the camera's setting manually too. It doesn't always result in good photos, but I enjoy it moreLogical!
As a professional, he certainly takes his time to get the perfect picture of a building, to keep demanding customers satisfied.
And precise focusing, of course, matters. So, I guess he pays extreme attention to get the right focus, and saving time thru AF becomes secundary. Anyway, if you're working on a tripod, you are usually not in a hurry.
Keith, am I right?
