  • Canon could buy out or sue MagicLantern, followed by keeping everything the same (read: their profit)

  • Looks pretty good to me. No left-right decentering. But top/bottom must also be tested (take a vertical shot). The first sign of decentering you would notice after shooting a complex 3D scene is...
  • I noticed this with my 5D also. I used to keep it turned off, but over the years the number of hot pixels has increased dramatically. It may be a good strategy to just shoot with LENR turned off...
  • Fortunately for us they brought a decent camera and a tripod instead of a mobile phone.

  • Got the Tokina 16-28mm and use it on the old 5D. Pro: very sharp, even at f/4, at f/2.8 center practically no distortion practically no vignetting great color rendering nice bokeh good close focus...
  • Samyang 24mm f/1.4 and Sigma 20, 24 and 28mm f/1.8 are the cheapest primes of at least f/2 you can get. If you see how much glass is in there it's safe to say you will simply not be able to get it...
  • Yes, the lens is wider to allow for shift. As you shift the image toward the edge of the lens, you get stronger wide angle distortion (asymmetric). But I would think that a shifted crop near the...
  • well, as a stormchaser, I like to see a scene as it was. And a good photographer can get such scene, if he persists. Not like oh, I got this supercell with ugly powerlines here and last summer a...

  • depends if you use Photoshop for photographic tweaks, versus artistic cheats.

  • not everybody sees an image as being an image. Most of us appreciate the contents of the image as the real thing.

    Just because we never see a direct translation of the real word doesn't mean we...

  • Are you speaking of JPEGs from the camera, or RAW processed by which software? Does Canon DPP show a difference between the cameras? If not, it may just be a matter of profiling in your raw...
  • Replied in Lens 'overlap'
    Myself in your place would skip the 24-105mm and simply walk around with 17-40mm (or 16-35mm, or 16-28mm) + 70-300mm. Unless your primary subject is people and you can't keep switching lenses. ...
  • My sample of the old EF 28mm f/2.8 is free of this wide open. Sigma 20mm f/1.8 has lots of coma/astigmatism but only noticeable on the brighter spots. Tokina 16-28mm - seems smaller than Sigma, but...
  • A bit too processed look to my taste. But I know the contrasts are difficult there. I had one day in December and there was a lot of shadow. Also the waterfalls were diminished.my photos (5D with...
  • it's because they did not have to pay for it!
    It may be a great camera for what it is, but a price $1000 less seems more fitting for its capabilities, even in comparison with full frame DSLRs.

  • I find it a little ironic the camera is rated so highly. You pay $2800 and you get a camera of which you cannot change lenses, you get contrast AF only, 3 fps, no optical through the lens...

  • 6D looks nicely clean, but your 17-40mm lens apparently has no more resolution to offer than it already did on the 5D!
  • is very nice, but could you not check infinity focus at 100% with live view? The Tokina 16-28mm shot is well out of focus. I have this lens and a 5D, and cannot rely on the infinity marker nor...
  • DPP works very well and fast, good for my simple needs (I don't want a program to organize my stuff or produce junk files). Its weakness is highlight and shadow recovery, but single shot HDR can...
