+1 I tried using my J5 with FT1 + 40mmDX micro, but wished Nikon had produced a native N1 micro (of which Nikon had several prototypes).  I probably wouldn't have gone to the EOS M6 if a CX Micro ...

Yes, that's correct.

Here's a bayonet mount equivalent of a HB-63: ...

I guess I'm somewhere in the middle between you and Tord... I've sold off my D810 and FX lenses (except the teles), kept my D500 for birding - and bought a Canon M6 with UAW zoom, macro, and ...

Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to do the test!!! Now I can order a 270EXII with zero doubts! Aloha, Roy p.s. (Edit)  Just placed order!

The M6's built-in flash has a GN of 5 (ISO 100) - whereas the 270EXII's is 27.  So, yes - I'm hoping that I can run the 270 at less than full power and keep it from overheating as quickly as with ...

Thanks!

I would appreciate hearing from those who have used the 270EX-II flash on the M6. I do a lot of macro shooting in the field with the EF-M 28mm macro on my M6, and find the built-in pop-up flash ...

Thanks - I went back to read his reply more carefully.  Good to know... learned something new.

I've had my 200-500 since Sept 2015 and see the double-line busy background from time to time - and I never use any filters.  As far as I can tell - this busy background has occasionally occurred ...

Yes - it'll only get worse.  My V3 and 70-300CX still look and work like new, but haven't seen any use in the last 3+ years.  In contrast, my J5 has turned out to be my most useful quick-grab ...

Just to note:  this is a resurrected 4-year old post.  I ended up sending in my defective EVF to the LA service center since it was still under warranty at the time - and then waiting a few weeks ...

The 200-500f5.6E is my favorite birding lens - unless I’m shooting a really small songbird with a tripod and a TC - in which case it would be my 500f4G. As comparatively small(er) the 200-500 is ...

Actually, Canon made seven native EF-M lenses, with 3rd party makers adding more to the list - I only bought threeof them.  Still - I agree not a very wide selection of lenses. Over on the EOS M ...

Speaking for myself - I prefer to see a new APSC-sensored mirrorless... BUT with a new lens mount that emphasizes small and light bodies and lenses.   Again, this is just me, but... I sold off my ...

Actually, Canon did make a number of lenses that made the EOS-M attractive - among them, the wide (11-22mm), pancake (22mm f2), and macro (28mm)  that I bought for my M6 last year.  The real ...

I use the F-stop Loka and Ajna backpacks: Newer Ajna on top;  Loka on bottom. Loka is 37 liters and is shown with the Large ICU fitted.  Ajna is 40 liters, and with the X-large ICU-holds both ...

Paul, Now that there's a high probability that Nikon will be coming out with a mirrorless - regardless of sensor size or lens mount - I think it's appropriate to once again remind Nikon management ...

I fault the new Nikon leadership that took the helm of the company back in the 2014 timeframe. This is what happens when a non-photography business unit director takes over and gets unnecessarily ...
