I agree with what Anders said. One other point is that in OVF mode the camera is simulating your chosen aperture (you mentioned you're in AV mode) using wide open (up to a max of about f2.8) to ...

I have been very impressed with how well the IS works on the 16-35/4LIS and it is an amazing lens overall.  I've used it down to about 1/4s pretty consistently with the 5D4 or 5DSR (slower if I ...

Do you have the camera set to Focus Priority?  I normally set it to that mode rather than shutter priority or even neutral for wildlife and sports photography.  This chooses a slight delay to lock ...

:-)

I caught a break between cloud cover.  The forecast called for rain and complete clouds all night but it opened up for a couple of hours (luckily I decided to make the drive anyway). A funny ...

I hope I'm not hijacking the original post too much but in answer to your question, one decent spot for night sky shooting in great DC area. Here are a couple of MW shots I took on a business trip ...

Yea.  Probably a good idea...

No, I didn't send it in.  I always assumed I would be cleaning the sensor from time to time and it wasn't massive amounts of oil so I haven't worried about it.  That isn't really the main reason I ...

Never said it was a game changer.  I have oil spots on my 1DX2.  I still use it like crazy since sports and wildlife is my biggest consumer of shutter pulls.  For family pictures and portraits, I ...

Excellent question. I prefer the size, weight, resolution and lack of oil spots of the 5D4 when not using big white lenses. I have to admit, though, that the handling of the 1DX2 is far superior ...

If it were me, I'd try to save up for a 1DX2 (even used) because you get all the latest benefits of the 5D4 (albeit at a lower resolution than the 5D4 and no support for DPRAW).  Many say you ...

Same here.  I currently have both the 85/1.2LII and the 85/1.4LIS.  The 85/1.4LIS definitely focuses a lot faster and is usable in more candid situations (still a good idea to always use AI Servo ...

The 16-35/4LIS is one of the best values of all Canon lenses IMO. The color saturation is great (probably related to how fantastic the flare resistance is), it's extremely sharp edge to edge even ...

Based on those considerations I would say the 85/1.4LIS will serve you very well.  It actually renders pretty similarly to the 135/2L (which is a nice surprise given that it has all the new ...

I have all three of the lenses in question.  I almost always reach for the 135/2L, though.  If I were an event pro I would probably use the 70-200/2.8LII more often than I do because there are ...

I like the first one. Just how far “up” the moon is appeals to me (subjectively). I enjoy these type of shots that have backlit features like this. It’s actually challenging to find features that ...

Very cool shot!

Amazing shot!  Well done.

Totally agree.  Yes, great photography requires brains, skills, talent, interpretation.  It's just as easy to make a terrible landscape image with an UWA as it is with a 400mm telephoto.

Thanks, Bill!  Really glad to see that whatever they did with the new sensor design did not result in worse DR (like 6D2 vs 5D4 downgrade).
