Just saw the sale for RF bodies and lenses.  I'm guess we won't see something similar for the EF counterparts?  I was hoping that some of the good EF primes (e.g. 300mm f/2.8) would become more ...

Thanks so much for your detailed response.  I really love the 135 but wish it were faster--not that f/2 has any issue because it is awesome already but to your point, one can dream right? I do own ...

Thank you for your comments! The 85mm f/1.2 feels more like a studio portrait specialty lens--I'm not sure how well it will work for events where AF speed is critical.  I'm not saying the 135mm is ...

Thanks!  I do love the 135mm.  It's probably the most used lens among all of mine.  I was worried about the distance it requires, especially in a smaller space.  Other than that, it has been ...

I've been using the 135mm f/2 for portraits in the last few months and started to feel that I'm getting close to its sweet spots. I've heard that the 85mm f/1.2 II is the best of the best for ...

Those are something one can hang on the wall. Congrats.

I love all of them!  Very nicely done. For 3, I wonder what it feels like if you crop out that big pole on the far left. For 5, similarly, it might feel different if you crop out the guy and the ...

Handheld or tripod?  They feel a little soft to me, especially the last one. I was told to shoot with 5DS R a little faster than usual to fully utilize the high pixel #, and learned it the hard way ...

By the way I think these 2 photos of yours look great! I'll definitely spend more time PP mine.   The challenge is, this trip gave me 500+ photos to look through and edit.  :P

It's quite good wide open!

Thanks for your quick response, sir!! I addressed your questions on the lighthouse photo in pm, since it's not in this thread. (it's the rain, I think) :) I've briefly used DPP4 but right now ...

Thank you so much for your comments.  They make total sense!!

Great examples.  I have no doubt the the 5DS R can produce wonderful photos.  Now that I look back to the first photo, which was taken with the 5DSR with 35mm, sharpness may not be as bad as I ...

Before I resort tremendously to PP, I do want to make sure there are no significant inherent flaws with the technique. I'd like to think I have a rather steady grip--shooting slightly about the ...

No I was not using a tripod.  It was a family trip so we had to move relatively quickly from place to place.  It seems I’ll have to be less aggressive with lowering the ISO. Thank you for your ...

I am not satisfied with a few photos taken at Virginia's Shenandoah National Park recently, even thought the foliage there was beautiful.  They were neither sharp or vibrant in color, at least not ...

Thank you so much for the constructive critique!

Looks like it's already sold out. I bought one at a similar price from the grey market not long ago and absolutely am loving it.

Thank you for all your C&C, very helpful! I was trying to get away with not using additional props but it sounds like they would be essential to achieve better quality photos.  I will see what I ...

I recently started experimenting food photography using natural light from the window, and seemed to have got some good results.   Canon 5DS R's high ISO performance appeared very useful too as ...
