Canon has always been able to identify which Canon lenses are attached to their bodies. We all know they are not licensing 3rd party lens makers, they want to monopolise supply. So…Perhaps?! Canon ...

You basically had to focus at 70 before pulling wide to 24, the mk2 was redesigned and improved dramatically, IMO. I had the mk1 before getting the mk2 and the mk2 is great, I still have it.

Clean the screw, blue thread lock, and use a JIS driver tool of the right size. They are slightly different from Philips https://www.ifixit.com/products/jis-driver-set

Hi Bak, I’d like to make a few points. 1) There is some value in part exchanging your equipment against new to reduce your new purchase costs. But only sell what you don’t want to adapt 2) Your new ...

This is the most common method, the rubber is bonded to thin double sided adhesive that then bonds to the body. Heat and friction can weaken the bond over time, usually years of hard use, not months. ...

Hi, the rumours of what is in development at Canon are in regular circulation. The information that is getting out there is somewhat confused as features from the Canon R1 model are being tagged ...

Yes! I think an R6mk2 would be fine for your case use, invest in good glass and save for a backup body No, don’t get an old R5 now, the new R5 mk2 will be out within 6 months, when it’s clear how ...

I don’t believe the R8 will not be a full frame model

Of the two lenses I prefer the pop of the 135 F2…but in a perfect world I’d want a 105 F1.4. I don’t know how reliable the AF is on the Sigma 85 f1.4 is….I believe the recent 105 F1.4 is meant to ...

Do sports photojournalists have to even be in the same country as the photo gear if it’s remote operated? Just pay for your perch and gear rental at the match sidelines and get an Xbox controller...

1.4 is better quality than the 2x, mk1s we’re just ok, mk2s much better, mk3s we’re much more expensive but only marginally improved with coatings and cosmetic colour changes. For your. 135 F2 I’d ...

I’d call that show “ Guess who’s the cannibal”…although it might be obvious near the end 😀

I had the Sigma 50 Art lens and the dock. It’s focus accuracy was unpredictable and could not be compensated for as it kept moving. It drove me insane. I returned it after a week of trying. I did ...

I should clarify, as others have noted, that the 135 F2 is great wide open. The fast lenses I felt I had to close down 2/3rds - to a stop to get acceptable quality to me were the 50mm f1.4, 85 ...

I reached exactly the same conclusion, most of the older ef primes need closing  2/3 of a stop to remove purple fringing and sharpen up. I’ve got the 85 f1.8 and 135 f2…also got the ef 100 f2.8 ...

Er…I’m not implying London has more muggers than any other cities, I’ve witnessed incidents in Amsterdam, Berlin, New York, San Francisco, Paris, Verona, Brussels, Dublin…probably others if I think...

I’m with Fergus on this topic…I also lived in London, and was a music photojournalist for about 8 years. I’ve seen quite a few snatch and runs, I’ve also sadly helped three victims after violent...

Yes… if you are going Canon I’d wait till Spring. The R5mk ii will have the resolution to crop and improved readout for sports. If you really have to buy now I’d go with the R6mk2 over the R5 as ...

@12fps, it’s been used for just over 3 seconds!

Speaking from my own experience with EF L lenses, I had the 70-200 F2.8LIS for concert photography, then got the 70-200 F4LIS mk1 to try both for a year. At F4 on both I couldn’t tell any ...
