Don't know why I didn't see your reply earlier. I erred. I used a Kenko TC with taped pins on the 70D. It would AF, although poorly. I suppose it would be the same with the Canon TC with taped pins. ...

Thanks Greg.

Thanks Paul, same to you.

Here's my contribution. Zero degrees F, ice crusted snow, coyotes howling, and a beautiful eclipse.

I have the same lens and tc combo. They work MUCH better on my 80D than on my 70D.

I think you'll be pleased.

The USM that came with my 80D kit performed better than my STM. The latter has been sold.

Great! Me too.

With the 70-200 lens a counterweight might be useful. They offer a base to go between the drive and your tripod that should help with proper alignment. But I've never handled one of these before. ...

I just ordered it before seeing your post. Looks like a pretty good deal.

Thanks Racollins, I decided to go with the Galaxy j7 Crown from tracfone. It's got 13mp and some easy to access controls for ec, iso, and wb. Got a good Black Friday deal.

Sorry, I'm new to both android and smartphones and just discovered the mobile photography forum after posting this. was unable to delete my post.

Hi. Anyone here with experience from either of these? How are the photos? I'm considering these from Tracfone. Thanks.

Hi Roger, I just saw this older thread. I too am interested in improving focus and am encouraged by your remark that 10x live view is larger on your phone than on the camera. I would pair my 80D ...

Try asking in the retouching forum. I just searched "Photoscape" there and got some results.

If I think my subjects will be beyond 3m, which they usually are, I set the lens switch to the 3m-infininty mark, the autofocus is better. Also, I almost always use one point AF. Pump the focus ...

I don't know how far away your birds were, but perhaps you don't need the focus limit switch set to full.

Good point, they might still be hidden on the card. How about getting a starting place for a file name search by looking at a photo file taken before the holiday. Then estimate a holiday file number?

If that's the case, search your computer for an image file number. Take a picture now and look at the file number. Search for a file number that would fall into that group of holiday photos.
