Two things; Yes they do, especially the L lenses and more especially the white L lenses. I recently sold my old 100-400L (original) for $936 after about 10 years, and put the money towards a new ...

You raise an interesting point. Just for curiosity, I attach two images taken at Australia Zoo (started by the late Steve Erwin - Crocodile Hunter). Canon sponsored a day and brought along some toys. ...

While I don't disagree that filters can result in an increased tendency to flare, I just spent 15 minutes trolling back through my photos over the last few years and the last photo I found with ...

How old is your version of DPP ? Only the recent versions will open a new model's files. Colin

Unless I am mistaken, this statement is only true if using Live View. Using the OVF (which many DSLR users do) does indeed require MFA to ensure accuracy. Colin

Thanks Quite surprising since I handicapped both lenses with filters :-) It is refreshing to see someone actually try stay on track instead of the trend to have the poor OP's thread degenerate into ...

This does raise an interesting point, although I have never noticed any damage to the filters. I just checked my 4 lenses; 100-400L ii + Hoya HD Protector - filter thread depth=2.5mm, OEM cap ...

Well, I just displayed the 4th image as "original size" on my 27" monitor (about 18" x 12" - not terribly big) and the CA is visible although not too obvious. If I hit the "+" sign to zoom in ...

As predicted (and as per every other filter thread) - very varying opinions. I use a filter on all my lenses, including the original 100-400L that I used on my 70D a year ago in South Africa. The ...

And go to Moraine Lake - far more scenic and less crowded than Lake Louise. Flip through manual on the plane ? Colin

How exactly is that response any different from any large company ? If you contact Ford, Toyota, VW etc etc and say that you don't like the way a feature works (remember that it is not defective, ...

Quite sharp, but some really ugly CA around the arches especially on the 400mm shot. Colin

I am happy with results. Many say it is not very accurate, but it is easy, quick and free and seems to work well - at least for me. View full size. Handheld Colin

I was thinking worse light than that & without a TC. These were taken with the original 100-400L so I have no doubt they would have been a bit better with my Mk ii - how much better I can't say. I ...

Forget the ruler scale, and just "focus" on getting the central pie-chart in very sharp focus. I used the Dot Tune method on my 100-400L ii at f5.6 & 400mm at about 25m /75ft and it worked just ...

I think you might find that f8 with the TC is a bit too dark especially morning and late afternoon where light is a struggle anyway. Last year with my original 100-400L and 70D I found that at ...

Not exactly the comparison you are looking for, but I recently posted threads (in SLR lens forum and 70/80D forum) that compared 70D to 5DSr & 5D iv with 100-400L ii and 600L ii, and the results ...

I would think that unless you are planning to use tripod mostly (seems unlikely for a "walk-around" lens) or you specifically require the additional DoF of the f2.8, then it is probably a ...

I don't see any reason why you would have to replace your EF lenses with EF-S lenses. EF works just fine on APS-C. You might need a wider angle lens though - EF or EF-S since 28mm on APS-C might ...

The EX270 ii is certainly a lot smaller than my old EX430, and lighter (partly due to the 2x AA instead of 4x AA). Less features than even the original 430, a 2 position zoom, 2 position tilt and ...
