Now we know why it is 'cheap'.

I was down my local camera store picking up some bits for my 'new' AE-1 Program retro film fetish, and they had a couple of EF-s 24mm f2.8's second hand for $99....

With the uncertainty on the Canon front I have stopped buying new gear entirely. My 70D and the lenses that I have still work just fine, but I am not going to buy a new body or lens if there is...

If the Canon RF mount is going to replace the EF they had better start to sharpen their pencils pretty quickly, or it will be dead in the water before it even takes off.
A Ferrari is a great car,...

No Doogie, it is marginally bigger than a MacBook Air, and a new SSD is sitting right next to me for when I decide to install it. If I ever need to.

And what's with the attitude?

My son needed a new laptop for college. We bought a 15" HP touchscreen with a 1TB HDD, 16 GB of RAM, one of the new i7 chips, Harmon Kardon noise, and a GTX 1050 video card. I think we paid just...

It isn't about taking pictures (unless it is a cat), it is about measurbating the MTF, and who has the longest lens hood. Everyone knows that...

I pulled out my EOS 630 the other day, de-gummed the shutter, and put on my 24-105mm f4.0 L II. All I needed was a new roll of sensor to put in it...

I just pulled out my old EOS 630, de-gummed the shutter, and bought a few macro bits and pieces on Amazon for giggles. I might actually go take some pictures when my bits arrive next week. I have...

I use a Pacsafe, and my wife uses an XDDesigns. Both are slash proof anti theft. They worked just fine on the London Underground earlier this year, and are really comfortable to wear. The one time...

@Michael, Yes, the FD's. My mistake.

The old equipment was so much prettier than the new stuff. The old Canon new EF lenses were just lovely with the shiny black finish, green print highlights, and the fine barrel details. The new,...

To invoke Jurassic Park theory, if it is heavy it is expensive. Therefore, If it is expensive, it must be good/better/best.

I travel fair bit, and am looking mainly at the long end. Can anyone offer an opinion on which way they would go with real world use, not just pixel peeping. The price is the same, so weight, ...

It is so pretty. I would just sit and hold it. Especially the silver.

Nice analogy. I once was talking with a wine waiter from a very well respected local restaurant. He asked me if I knew the difference between a $20 bottle of wine and a $40 bottle of wine. I knew...

Can anyone comment on what this camera and lens will be like for portraiture. I personally wouldn't want to be photographed with it. An MTF approaching 1.0 is the last thing most people would want....

So, it is about 23 times better than the 50mm f1.8. That's amazing.

I used to work for Agfa. A customer urgently needed a 'part' to upgrade his system. I put in an urgent supply request through channels. A month later we still didn't have it, even though it showed...

It looks very nice for a $5,000 camera and lens. Now we just need a few cat pictures to see how good it really is.

Does anyone know the effective focal length of an EF-S lens on the EOS R when using the adaptor.
