Hi Jack.
This solution is device agnostic, open the picture, copy the URL, (e.g. for the exif on dmrrsn1's image to check lens serial copy this URL http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1280.0;attach=159803;image ) open this page http://regex.info/exif.cgi and paste the URL in to the box then click the "view image at URL" button and more info than you ever wanted to know about an image will appear as if from nowhere!
I don't think it will work on images that do not open a new page, like some posted here which only expand slightly on the forum page, but I'm not sure! Someone here probably knows how to do that too!

Hope this helps.

Cheers, Graham.

I see from the exif that you have number 30 of the 400mm DO II. Did you get it very early on?

How do you view the EXIF - properties doesn't do it.

I guess it's thanks and no thanks, I think I'll skip it considering the bother. I thought it used to be simpler than that?? It's nice when folk include the basic information in their text. Often ISO is of interest.

I was thinking recently that I used to consider a little noise kind of artsy, that is before reading/observing so much here on CR. I have to say that it's easy to become fixated on minutia. It reminds me of times my mother was listing to great music on a little stereo and I'd comment about the poor quality and she'd just say it was lovely to her.

Hi Alan.
After you mentioned this I thought I would have a look at my 100-400 II lens which led me to this site,
http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Canon-Lenses/Canon-Lens-Aging.aspx
Looking at their info it looks like this 4250000030 might just mean built June 2016, batch 5 (or maybe some other meaning) lens no.30 of all lenses that month.
My lens 100-400 II 3910003466 looks like it was built March 2016, batch 1, lens no. 3466 that month.
Of course all this relies on the originating website information being accurate.

Cheers, Graham.

Interesting to decode such information.

Thanks for the heads up Graham. I hadn't come across that page before. The year numbering squares with all my lens purchase dates. So, it looks like a few of us have bought 400mm DO IIs made in a batch in June 2016, which is a relief as I had thought mine had been gathering dust on shelf, unsold for a year or two.

Hi LSeries.
Lovely shot, beautifully coloured bird and the berries bring a nice contrast, and the way it is taking the berry looks so delicate.

Cheers, Graham.

This morning was foggy. I don't usually post herons as they are such easy targets, but I liked the fellow in the mist (400mm DO II + 1.4xTC + 5DIV).

 

[Mikehit]

I like it. It has little enough range of tone or colour to almost be monochrome but you know it isn't.

Mind you, the heron is so sharp in focus it looks like a composite picture.

A couple of small local birds using the 400mm DO II at 800mm. The blue tit was a tiny dot in the foliage, but the 800mm gets a decently sharp image. He looks in very good condition to survive the winter, as does this robin.
