Hi All, 1. I am using an EOS R. With manual focus lenses set to wider apertures I am having some trouble quickly determining focus from the LCD screen because the peaking indicators do not often ...

Thank you all for your helpful comments. I will do the decentering test for completeness, and send the lens back. PS: @Martin_99, thank you. The ISO was set to 400 in all these.

Thanks @Martin_99. Please find the answers below. 1. You are looking at 100% magnified photos in the center. 2. I use the electronic levels to judge horizontal and vertical tilts of the camera. I ...

Thanks all. @Martin_99, following your link to opticallimits, I read through the review and I had some hope instilled in me. I repeated the resolution chart experiments (attached pictures, I have ...

Thanks @Alastair Norcross! That is good to know. I too think that the f/2.8 appears sharper ( I used the wrong word in my previous post. f/2.8 has significantly better contrast but the ability to ...

Thanks @drsnoopy and @justus7. Here is how the resolution charts taken at about ~2ft distance look. Any thoughts? My interpretation is that the lens starts out a bit sharper at 1.8 than f/2.8, dips ...

Hello Everyone, I am using an RF 35mm f/1.8 IS STM MACRO on a Canon R. I am having AF and sharpness issues with this lens, particularly indoors when I am taking pictures of family. In particular, I ...

@GreatBustard, great portrait. Just curiuos - did you bounce flash to the wall behind you on this one? Thanks for sharing!

Thoroughly enjoyed the post and the photos. Thanks a lot for sharing Greg!

Good point @Aberaeron. If the budget allows, certainly a new one.

In addition to what @Phaser and @davidric posted, I would also recommend considering the following (if you wish to max out the ~$5K budget): 1. A used Sony A7IV 2. used Sony 24-105 f/4 G master or ...

@Bobby2Shots, Apologies for the late response. Gitzo did not recommend any specific 2-part epoxy. I just used JB Weld. It holds up rather well. The wobble is gone!

@stealthysicilian, I had a similar problem with my G2, when mounted on a full frame body. AF fine tuning improved things but it definitely felt like something was off. I sent in both the camera ...

In case if anyone has similar issues. I contacted Gitzo, and they recommended a DIY solution of simply using a 2-part EPOXY to glue the plastic top with the carbon fiber column together. Cheers!

Hi All, I have been experiencing a wobbly center column in my gitzo mountaineer series 1. I isolated the problem to the black plastic part on top of the column (here : d107002, image from gitzo ...
