Thanks, Bill.  And, yeah, I could probably figure it out, but I tried doing the comparisons myself, and somehow I couldn't produce the chart you attached. On a separate, but related subject:  Any ...

So, how does this stack up against the Z?

I stand corrected, sir, perhaps because I came to the Bond novels somewhat early in life, but late in the series. He did, indeed, begin with the .25 Beretta 418 (an entirely inadequate caliber). ...

Bond had a Walther PPK, not a Beretta. Just sayin'.

Not really.  MSRP is a manufacturer's offering price; it is not a selling price, until a buyer agrees to it.  Canon, of course, can offer cameras at any price they choose.  But Canon cannot set the ...

Easy for me.  I really hope the R pushes mk 4 prices down, as I would love to get one.  DSLR's didn't suddenly stop working because the new cool toy hit the market.  I really like the battery life ...

Beware of these "too good to be true" offers in local sales (e.g., Craigslist, etc.) I am a prosecutor, and we are seeing a lot of robberies that begin with this sort of offer, followed by an ...

Alberto, thanks for the input.

I just got Fo-cal a couple of months ago.  I set it up with 80D and a couple of lenses, and all went well. Last weekend, I got out my 6D, and tried to get set up to calibrate a lens, and I could ...

I have looked, without success, for a systematic approach to doing MFD on a Tamron lens, using the Tap-in console.  Do you do a Dot-Tune process first, to get the numbers?  Is there another ...

Placed 13^th in the challenge. A solitary figure, alone but for a few seagulls, walking on the beach in Bandon, OR, at sunrise.

We're all guessing at marketing strategy, but the way I see it, it depends on whether Canon introduces the camera as a replacement for an existing camera, or if they introduce it as a parallel came ...

I don't understand what difference it makes if you might go FF -- these are both EF-S lenses.

Try it again using live view.

. . . and the fact that you can't mount a Canon APS-C lens on full frame is not much of a loss, given the vignetting would force you to crop down to APS-C size anyway.

"In the range," on the long end, the sharpest zoom you can get would be the 70-200 2.8L IS II; this would be followed closely by the 70-200 4L IS.  On the short end, the EF-S 15-85, and the EF-S ...

Nothing should be surprising here, given that the 7D2 really has very little "reach advantage' over the 5D4..  APS-C vs. FF doesn't tell you anything about the "reach" of the camera -- the only ...

A .416 Rigby should handle anything you might encounter.

This is precisely the opposite of my experience with this lens.  I find the center to be tack sharp right from 2.8 through the entire range, with the borders pretty darn good.  The USM is very ...

17-55 2.8.  Iti is a spectacular lens, with no real weaknesses..  If Canon did "L" series aps-c lenses, this would be one,
