You know, I can’t explain that. I see that the focal length was 35mm, so it wasn’t wide open, and the aperture was f6.3 so again not at the widest. There wasn’t a lenshood on it, nor a filter of ...

Here’s an image taken with a 5DIV and an old (film era) 28-105 f3.5-f4.5. Bakewell, Derbyshire. Viewed from the churchyard. I’ve had this lens for almost 25 years. It was almost the kit lens for ...

That does make quite a difference! Two further choices, therefore. If you really prefer longer lenses then one of the 24-105s might be good. The Mk 1 version of the L lens might be within your ...

Compared to full-frame lenses, Canon APS-C is rather short-changed in terms of IQ from mid-range zooms. It's certainly not short-changed in terms of choice - there's a plethora of lenses, ...

I bought a 5D4 in December, as an upgrade from a 6D and I'm glad I did. I'm an amateur  who mainly does landscapes and travel. I enjoyed the 6D but found myself increasingly dissatisfied with the ...

Thanks - I hadn’t spotted that section. I’ve not had the camera long, and in any case this is the first time I’ve had one that took two cards so the actual concept of copying images from one card ...

Graham: How did you perform the "...backing up to the second"?

I’ve just bought my first CF card in years which means that I now have two cards installed in my 5D4. I’ve had great fun trying out all the config options. I’m going with Raw+S1 jpg, written to ...

I have two thoughts on this question. First, I think that the two lenses are completely different animals. That extra 35mm on the 24-105 makes a huge difference - you can get shots with the one ...

I've been wondering about that, too. In fact I can see advantages to that, especially as the slots on the 5DIV are CF and SD, not two SD. The SD slot is not terribly fast - UHS1, not UHS2. So ...

Thanks for the reply, Dave. I had wondered about setting the JPG resolution differently from the Raw file resolution - full size for Raw, and 1920 x 1280 for the jpg. I can't quite bring myself to ...

As other have said, there a very high degree of compatibility between the components of the EOS system. All that passes from the camera to the lens are instructions - the technology that the lens ...

I’d concur with those posters above above who have commented on the control systems for the various cameras under discussion. There are differences between the 5DIV and the 7DII, but nowhere near ...

I've been experimenting with using the wifi functionality on my 5DIV and I've been able to connect to my iPhone. What I would like to be able to do is upload images onto the smartphone, and I can ...

No-one's mentioned the Sigma 17-70. I've always found them to be good lenses - I had the v2, and I've currently got the the v3, the 'Contemporary' version. Yes, it's not constant aperture, but it ...

I didn’t. I was principally disappointed by two things: first the lack of DR improvement and second the use of the 80D AF module in the updated model. A further factor was the price, which in the ...

Thanks! However..... as anyone familiar with the gritstone edges in Derbyshire knows, they’re flat as a pancake right up until you reach the actual Edge. So just out of shot on the r/h side of the ...

Thanks to everybody for the comments. In so far as there's a consensus it seems to be "turn IS off, but pay some regard to the conditions". A few people commented on the shaky tripod. I'm actually ...

Here's a question - is it best to disable the IS on lenses when using a tripod or not? I'm specifically asking about the 24-105 f4 L Mk 1, and the 70-200 f4 L IS. I've had experiences in the past ...

I've got both the 40mm and the little 24mm, and the boxes of both say "Made in Malaysia".
