I did this test a few times with one 100-400II and two different 400 5.6s. I came out each time believing the zoom was significantly better quality. This could be copy variation. I did MFA all ...

Correction... The 5d4 has an *adequate* intervalometer built in. You need to turn the camera off to stop it. You can't set a timer to have it start x many minutes later. In essence, it took 60 ...

Loved that lens with my 5D4. Used it a great deal. I sold it because I'd gotten a 24-35 Art f/2, and it turned out that this zoom was just about as good but had the wider range. I sometimes miss ...

I put up 12 and found that the 2 expansive landscapes got about the same ratings. Other genres got from 45-75 percent. One thing that is probable: the resolution you can see on these small photos...

I had both in Canon mount (V1 of the Tamron, of course, as the V2 just came out some days ago). Sold the Tamron (much loved, I might ad) because the Sigma spanked it decisively. Of course, you ...

If Canon had adequate tech in the R series to do fast readout, and thereby decent frames per second, I'd have said no, I expected a 5R instead of a 5D5. But as it is, we may well get another 5D5. I ...

My condolences. You might find this article illuminating, but it dealt with salt water... https://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2017/10/about-getting-your-camera-wet-teardown-of-a-salty-sony-a7sii/ I ...

The free cleanings that CPS offer are really for the outside of the lens. They charge to open it up. I just tried to look up the receipt from last year. It turns out that Canon opted to do it for ...

I had this problem a while back. I like to store the camera in my back turned on, counting on it to put itself to sleep after a few minutes. This allows me to just whip it out and start shooting ...

I had the Mark I and currently have the Mark II. I had the dust problem in both. It takes a couple years for the problem to get to a point where it would affect the image at all. It has to get ...

I own both the 100-400II and the 500II, and I usually prefer to use both with a 1.4xIII. I wouldn't sniff at all at the 100-400II shooting at f/8, so long as it was on the 5d4 body. Sure, you only ...

It affects focusing in that it'll move your f/stop up a stop or two, depending on which TC you're talking about. That may or may not exceed the minimum aperture needed for your body to use ...

You can stack them. Just take a short extension tube an put it in between them. That's how we all use our Canon TCs stacked. Good luck!

Had a used Sigma 24-35 Art f/2 come in today. Had to go shoot it for an event without any testing. Much nailing of focus. Was dreading going through the Sigma Dock process (rather tedious), but I ...

I use the Really Right Stuff leveling base too. Very well designed in terms of tightness, flange handle ergonomics, etc. I looked around for a used one on eBay and got it for about 70-80 percent ...

I find the Tamron 85mm 1.8 to be a full class better than the older Canon. It is terribly sharp. Not quite as sharp as the Sigma 85, which at its launch I believe was the sharpest autofocus ...

WHICH HEAD? MH, I have three gimbal heads - a super cheap one (and have used a couple others in this category), a LensMaster, and a pretty nice RSS one. The best value for money is the LensMaster. ...

Have one of the early ones. Never noticed anything overly-stiff. I do notice that it makes a different noise than some of my other lenses (which are mostly silent). Sounds like two pieces of paper ...

Yes, you would see a significant advantage. You will find that not only do you get the extra 40 percent magnification, but that the sharpness of the lens exceeds that of the Tamron to a degree ...

That was my hope. I just received the Ivy. Made two prints, and the quality looks to be - for now - about as good as my iPhone X is capable of making (meh). Can't comment on color fastness yet....
