Beautiful.

Thanks. I wasn't actually sure what you meant by the monochromatic comment. The colours in that photo are pretty much out-of-camera, daylight balanced.

Thanks. I guess I did cheat a bit. My image was a RAW file, exposed more or less for the highlights in the sky,. The building shadows were opened up around two stops in Lightroom. All said, I ...

A pretty sunrise over midtown Toronto distracted me this morning from my coffee and crossword. The lack of critical sharpness from my old lens aside, I found the dynamic range of this tiny sensor ...

The battery door has a rubber flap that swings away, revealing a hole through which you can connect an adapter to a dummy battery. Like this:

My knock-off adapter has a dummy battery. The power supply's label says it outputs 7.4V 2A, similar to what I've seen of the Canon original. I'm not sure what the difference is between the Canon ...

Thanks! The camera setup is attached to a generic single monitor arm with the following bits: (1) Manfrotto 035 Super Clamp (2) SmallRig 5.5 inch articulating arm (1/4 inch threads)

No, I'm pretty sure the USB-C port can't be used to power the camera. I've been using mine as a webcam to teach virtual classes, some of which are 2+ hour-long calls. I'm using a cheap knock-off ...

Yes, absolutely!

Fun thread. :) Here is what I've been carrying, beginning with my leanest set. First up is what I carried as a pocketable, every day point-and-shoot for many years: an old EOS M with the 22/2. No ...

Very cool. It's always fun for me to see what lenses people have managed to make work on these cameras. With regards to the Viltrox booster, I think your summary echoes my experience too. Lack of ...

... I don't use flash at all, so I love the removable EVF! My camera usually travels with me in one of two setups. Everyday carry has the EF-M 22/2 mounted, no EVF, just thrown in a bag or pocket. ...

Thank you! It's a pleasure to contribute to such a supportive and resourceful community. Keep in mind, I have a huge gap in my experience with digital cameras, likely exaggerating my impression of ...

Yeah, it's hard to justify the Metabones at three times the cost of the Viltrox. The few available online comparisons seem to indicate they are comparable in terms of centre sharpness. That said, ...

Oh, that's really interesting. I'll check it out, thanks!

Thank you! Yes, my lens is the EF 35mm f/1.4L — the original, not the II. It works reasonably well with the Viltrox. The focusing is quick and the centre is sharp wide open. The corners of the ...

That's interesting. It looks similar in size to the EF-M 32/1.4 — which is to say, a lot smaller and lighter than an EF 35/1.4L + reducer. Admittedly, the silver finish does not appeal to me one ...

Indeed! I only wish the tiny 22/2 pancake was a stop faster.

Thanks! Love the community here.

Thank you! The 35/1.4 is absolutely my favourite "everyday" lens.
