A little dinner after a long, hard day... at preschool! It's tough being a 2-year-old, and it shows! It's amazing what a difference a couple of FW updates can make. Eye AF worked well enough with ...

Used 5Ds are advertised for $2000 (same as a new 6D Mark II for those who may not know) in mint condition and you get a substantially better camera. UNLESS, you want a touchscreen and DPAF, and 2 ...

Given the outcry by users and the recent acknowledgement by Adobe of LR's poor performance, it's no surprise that Adobe had an accidental mishap to entice users and keep them from jumping ship....

so I guess more specifically where does the camera report the change in aperture along the zoom range? Also, does this mean that the aperture blades increase in size as one zooms towards the ...

Unfortunately, that doesn't answer exactly where the aperture closes down within the zoom range. It does provide SOME guidance, but it's not exact. For instance, DxO measured the 70-300 at four ...

Coming from the Canon world, I always depend on Bryan Carnathan to provide a chart showing where the aperture decreases relative to the focal length of zoom lenses. But, since he only reviews ...

Thanks! I really enjoyed the few shots I took during Kian's time on the couch. It was SO liberating to just press a button, have the camera find the eye and snap the picture, rather than fumbling ...

I haven't really shot anything (other than myself in the mirror to test the eye AF) with adapted lenses since updating the FW and honestly, adapted lenses wasn't even in the top 5 reasons I bought ...

I was having issues with the 55/1.8 as well.

Hey Marti, I just finished updating the FW for the camera (which can't be rolled back, apparently) and the adapter, so comparative scenes are a no-go as I didn't do it before. I have already ...

Good to know about eye AF in low light. The problem is, I don't really consider the area I was in to be low light. I have two LARGE windows casting a LOT of ambient light into my living room and ...

Roger, I've just checked the FW for the body, lens, and adapter. Looks like I have a little updating to do. The body is at v 3.3 (current is 4.0), the lens is up to date, and the adapter is at v ...

What about indoor performance the 55/1.8?

I've posted a few threads here recently looking for advice, asking questions, etc. The gist is that I'm a long-time Canon user growing frustrated with a lack of improvement in several areas that ...

Other than the manual (I'm definitely a RTFM kind of guy), what resources have you found to be the most valuable when it comes to learning about the A7rii, the options, customizations, ...

It's not crippling, it was a profit-maximizing hardware decision. Crippling is done via software, the sensor not having on-sensor ADC is a hardware choice (one which is less expensive). However, I ...

Yeah, but F 1.4 is not the same at 50 mm and 85mm given the same framing. It's a very different result. Expecting the compression of an 85 in a 50 isn't realistic.

I'm going to assume raw shooting so that you're starting with an unsharpened file. I'm also going to assume LR as a post processing software, but I'm sure other software has similar capabilities, ...

I actually just picked up an A7R II, 55mm f/1.4, and Metabones IV adapter this week, all used but in like-new condition for under $3k. I'm still on the lookout for the 85mm f/1.8 Batis for under ...

Go home, Canon. You're drunk!

On a serious note, is it safe to assume that DPR will find a tactful way to ask Canon "what the bleep?" at the next interview?
