Hello-I have an old film SLR camera (Canon EOS Elan 7E) with a handful of Canon EF lenses - got when my now college age child was born.  Rather than have the lenses collecting dust in my closet, I was considering getting a Canon DSLR body but I don't...

Tamron 18 - 400mm f/3.5 - 6.3 for the Eos 30D?

Came across a review for the Tamron 18 - 400mm f/3.5 - 6.3. With a range that wide, it seems it could be an "all-the-time" lens, pretty much eliminating the need for multiple lenses. My primary focus  birds and wildlife, thus the desire for the large...

Eos 30D w/ 75-300mm vs Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS ?

The Eos 30D I purchased used came with an older 75-300mm lens. Reviews seem to rate the newer 70-300mm w/ IS as a much better lens. But how much better? Also, the 70-300 is full frame - would that work with my older 30D?

old vs new

There has been a lot of interest in using old film camera lenses on new DSLR or mirrorless cameras. Although this isn't a comparison of that it is an old vs new example. Neither is right or wrong just the way it is. I won't say which is which so the ...

Hi,I just bought a used RF24-105 F4 L USM and I'm going through the steps of testing the lens for issues. I commonly read to test the IS, just turn it on and it should make a whirrling sound but I've tried many times and there is no audible differenc...

Extension tubes for RF lenses

Hello, I am looking for an extension tube for the RF system. I have the Extension Tube EF 25 II for the EF system that I use on a regular basis. As far as I know Canon does not offer one for the RF system at the present time. 

Resolved! Tele extenders

I would like to purchase a Canon tele extender. Do I want a 1.4x or 2x and do I want series II or series III. Advantages, disadvantages? Thoughts? No big deal on series? Thanks
