You'll have to wait for this particular lens kit to be sent on to someone else ;-)  There are more than enough people into that sort of stuff My [day job] work includes industrial subjects - that's ...

Indeed - somewhat more of a challenge than if they had sent me the EF mount version for use with my 5Ds Yes, that's an option, I can manually set up the stackshot. I need to experiment more I just ...

Just a quick note that I've got the new Laowa Aurogon FF 10-50X NA0.5 Supermicro APO lens set [~$1500] to test for a review. Fixed 20mm working distance - Available in these mounts PL / EF / F / E ...

A quick intro

As expected, the DOF is far too thin for the normal macro setup I use [2-3x] for work... I had to make a new board for mounting the kit and even then I only initially tried the 10x setup. Good news ...

I'll fire it up tomorrow and post a short video...

A Laowa Aurogon FF 10-50X NA0.5 Supermicro APO kit has just turned up Why  mention this here? It's the G mount version... I'll try it out tomorrow... https://www.venuslens.net/product/laowa-aurogon ...

Ah - having just been testing the GF 30mm TS, it provides shift amount and direction in EXIF [focus distance info also appears on the back of the screen] But, I looked at raw files and couldn't ...

I've not seen this anywhere else? I've suspicions the Ts&Cs might come under greater scrutiny in the EU for example.

Very easy with the camera on the tripod A touch more thinking about directions and rotation of the lens if it's in the collar and mounted on a tripod that way. This is where the two step locking of ...

I've just finished writing up my main review of the 30mm TS lens Yes, it's excellent - any edge/corner concerns at full shift are minor [YMMV as ever ;-) ]. There is nothing any better... This ...

A very good suggestion... Thanks - I did that to some extent, although ongoing aspects of sorting out my late Father's estate have meant that even though I was travelling, the mood to take lots of ...

Thanks EOS RP - the only RF one I've got ;-)

As some might know, I get to test a lot of tilt/shift lenses, so it's interesting to see this TTA macro lens. I've got one here [RF mount] for a while to test, so I'd be interested in any ...

Some sample images at full res, taken when I was forced to visit a garden centre on my way back from Coventry cathedral... All at f/5.6 two with no tilt and two with 5-8 degrees [no exif for tilt] ...

Yes - although it went back to Fuji yesterday :-( I've shot the section of the review talking about the physical aspects of using it, construction  etc. [~20 mins] I've now got all the photos to ...

The 200 dates from Aug 2020, so these are not all that new ;-)
I've detailed reviews and videos of the 200 and 300, with a long written one of the 1000 when it first came out several years ago.
I...

Which new Canon printers are you referring to?

The SP unit is effectively useless for most people on this list. i.e. making your own paper profiles. It needs software to run it more likely found in commercial rip/proofing applications I covered ...
