?? I used my employer's business number at that link and 1 x 5D body and 3 or more lenses and it comes back with "You do not qualify for membership"!
click where is says "view eligible products" in red text.
It does, both in terms of qualification and benefits.
It's all down to software limitations.....Canon EF-RF adapter can keep the ancient EF 28-80 kit lens working on the latest camera. Meanwhile the Sony E 16mm f2.8(APS-C lens) will suffer focus pulsing like asthma on my a1 if I put it to AF-C.....
No AF motor is actually easier. There's no need to coordinate the AF system with the lens's AF motor.
20fps is possible when I used my EF 20-35L(Arc form motor, non-USM) with my R6. I believe it's mostly down to the AF system on the body. It's either Sony cripple the AF system with older lenses, or there's a detector that blocks all non-Sony lens to get 15+fps.
Re-packaging actually cost more, which is against Canon's way of cost saving
Those mo*ons will not accept the silver rings while they have no issues with E-mount 3rd parties 50mm f1.8 primes on APS-C bodies. Double standards at its finest.I’ve seen a lot of comments on the interwebs saying something like “I refuse to use an FF lens on my RF-S body, they are too big/heavy/expensive, Canon sucks.” When pointed at the 16/28/50 and 24/35, they just double down on the ‘Those are too big, a crop version would’ve been smaller/lighter/cheaper’ mantra.
I don’t have the 24 and 35, but the 16/28/50 have been great and they fit into the lens hood (which wasn’t included, of course) of the RF100-400, if you want a small vacation package
I remember the photographer shooting for my workplace anniversary dinner was just using EOS R with RF24-105L f4, RF 16mm and RF 50mm. It's not fancy but it works well. We have come so far that any modern gear is capable of professional/paid jobs. It's all down to the user after all. And the internet seems to forget this.
found it! Very weird.... the 1D listed for eligibility are old 1D bodies and are not supported which is to be expected. Why the RF24-105/4 would be eligible and supported but the RF24-70/2.8 isn't listed is strange. A dog's breakfast overall.
very different per region.
I always think back to the cruise ship photography model where they have reasonable lighting for portraits with backdrops but the cheapest camera/lenses. They know how to maximise ROI there to combat the phone camera competition!
I'm wondering whether you called, would they accept different lenses or not.
If the optical design could be expanded to include 85mm...then an 85-200mm f2.0 optic would literally become the new gold standard portrait lens. you would not need any other lens. 85/100/135/150/200...all at f2.0!
I agree, I don’t see either allowing the same situation from their DSLR platforms to occur on mirrorless. Only certain lenses will be permitted on a case by case basis and it won’t be like on E mount where manufacturers have a lot of leeway to make the lenses they want.
It's the same thing David
"it's so good I don't feel difference or limitation" means "it's as good as Canon" I didn't retract anything, be sure about that.I wonder how much heavier the extra 15mm would cause the design to increase...
Quite peculiar.Good question...and the answer is:
Yes. Still, him saying, "Never had to retract or modify anything, believe me," can be true if he blatantly lies but never acknowledges it. But I certainly would not recommend anyone follow his advice about believing him...
I've been a CPS platinum member for a few years, but never actually needed it.
).Ditto - and extended paid for warranties are usually a rip off.I've been a CPS platinum member for a few years, but never actually needed it.
When European CPS wanted me to pay for membership, I decided to quit.
Even in case a body or a lens stopped working, I'd have more than enough backup gear. And, since Canons are usually very reliable...
Also the reason why I won't extend my Subaru's warranty, just a waste of money (I hope so, at least!
I usually base my "extended paid warranty" decision on what occurred during the "free warranty " period. No troubles with a car or any other equipment means no extension. Additional advantage: I can maintain my car myself...
It wouldn't make a difference as I don't have a business number to use. There is no option for non-business service from CPS Australia
Mate, no skin off my back if you are here or not, post or not. I've explained why you get feedback to your comments. If you are getting a lot of feedback from different people then maybe you are the problem...It's the same thing David
Actually, if you REALLY want MY personal opinion, Canon EF glass is inferior compared to any comparable Sigma Art glass, Sigma is sharper and AF works better (yes, it does in my experience), only with uber expensive RF glass Canon took back the lead, or at least the equality; you want me to say that?
Ok I said it. But that brings just flames, and I'm not here to troll or open flames of any kind. So I just say "it's good enough that I don't feel difference" to avoid the mayhem from people unable to accept other's opinions.
So you know what? I'll start NOT expressing my own view and experience, so no flame or trolling is on the table anymore; and I'm sure no one will feel the loss of my clouded view, so everyone will be happy. What a wonderful atmosphere in here...
