A bit niche but they can also be great fun for underwater photography where reducing the water between lens and subject can actually be a bonus.

Wide angle macro can give a difference perspective, there is a reason they're sold.

Canon rumors reported it from a 'reliable source'.  The time line is 'this year'. So maybe real, but nothing official.

Benro and Sunwayfoto make stuff at a similar level to Sirui in my view.

Im not a great photographer. We live in a world where so much is sold as the next greatest thing ever, that pushback can be expected if the claim doesnt seem to hold a lot of water.

Unless one already has the r5/r6 in which case its almost twice as much, in Oz anyhow. I agree that it could be a much better choice though, if considered in isolation.

"@otaraka: Point is that there is not one type of beginner there are many! "

Well yes, but the term can become meaningless in that beginners can buy anything, regardless of where they're at or how...

"The status of being a beginner does not mean that one cannot afford one of these cameras."

Its less 'afford' and more how much of a leap most beginners make with a hobby that may or may not last....

"Millions of great animal/bird photos were taken before introduction of animal/bird eye AF."

But less by beginners perhaps.

Its great that it auto-switches, but anyone buying an R5/R6 is making...

Hadnt heard of this and cant seem to find it - this just a joke or am I missing something? Edit:  Found it, little bit indirect, thanks for the info.

For me its being able to use the adapter with the variable ND.  Having a way where one VND can work on any EF lens is very handy. Wish they'd released a high ND option as well.

Boasting about how you look less dorky with an 800mm F11 than a 600mm F4 is like saying you have the coolest pocket protector of your group. Its either a fun bit of self-deprecation or a teensy bit ...

The splitting of APS-C away from the RF mount makes it pretty clear that Canon doesnt want to risk people choosing low end cameras. Its not only about the cost of what they're making - its also...

Its pretty hard to warranty something against water ingress when the lens can be removed.  Lack of warranty for water ingress is mostly about how much user error is the most common cause, as it ...

t could be physical pressure rather than air? Seems to be over the lenses, maybe something to do with how they fit/glue them.

I have it and have noticed no problems, but am a bit baffled why it even has glass in it, given the usual adapter doesnt.  I guess it offers some protection against dust.

I have had no problems doing it.  But I may have been risking disaster so see what others say.

If they're for sale they're be in showroom condition, ie pretty neutral.

I did try that but didnt find it much more helpful than just using another dial and the mf button, as it involves less hand movement,.\.
