That is normal. There is lots of metal in that lens.

Here is a review video that shows it is non-rotating. https://youtu.be/YopcLJ3Hl7E

Your understanding is wrong. The Yongnuo 50mm 1.8 and 35mm 2.0 both have non-rotating front elements and filter thread. I can't think of any prime that has a rotating front element or filter thread.

I agree, but at least the 18-55 IS II is better than the 18-55 III which has no Image Stabilization. It seems that some kits still include the 18-55 III.

If you install magic lantern software you can disable exposure simulation .

You don't need to power off the camera when changing lenses. The on/off switch only disables the various buttons on the camera. Even with the power switch off, there is still electrical power at ...

On ebay you can find some very nice ones for about $200: ebay EF-S 18-135 STM

I am biased towards Canon but I recently found out that Nikon strips some pretty basic features on their entry level cameras. The Nikon D3300 doesn't have wireless flash control, DOF preview, High ...

Even with the switch off there is still power to the camera and lens. The power switch just disables the buttons.

The Canon SL1 DSLR makes for an even lighter kit: Canon SL1 - 407g (incl 35g battery) 10-18 STM - 240g 18-55 STM - 205g 24mm STM - 125g ======= 977g

A 6D would be a good option as you could keep your current lenses. A cheaper, lighter option would be an SL1 with a 10-18 STM and maybe a 18-55 STM or 18-135 STM .

You are reading the wrong forums. Canon right now probably has the best entry level camera system as their STM lenses are simply unbeatable for image quality and value. If you are not getting good ...

No, the EF-S 18-135 STM is going to be optically superior and it has the advantage of Image Stabilization. The 28-80 USM can be a decent "back up " lens but many of today's lenses are better. The ...

There a few different versions of the 28-80 USM. The original 28-80 USM from 1991 has a metal mount, non-rotating front element and Ring Type USM with Full Time Manual focus available. It has very ...

The ORIGINAL 5D with Magic Lantern installed has Focus Peaking on playback only. Magic Lantern on the Canon 5D Classic /5dc https://youtu.be/EHQ7jdmKOiE?t=1m23s 5dc Port Progress

A "52mm 0.5x wide angle lens" is not a high quality optic and they are sold under many different brand names. They sell about $20-$30 on ebay: Ebay 52mm 0.5x wide angle lens

Ah... Right you are. Yes, Focus Peaking woks no electronic connection to the lens.

The 5Dc does have focus peaking with Magic Lantern: ML Feature Comparison Matrix
