I have an RF 28mm f2.8 STM lens which I love for its small size and weight. My concern is that I offten refit the lens cap while the camera (R5 MK2) is still powered on and the focus motor 'fights' agains the pressure of re-fitting the lens cap. The ...
I own a C80 which I love, but I do not like the RF lens stabilization for video. Plain and simple: RF lens stabilization is too jerky. This applies to all of the RF lenses I've used so far which include the 24-70mm f/2.8 L IS, 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS, ...
Hi. How harmful is using SERVO-mode for gears in the lens? I shoot on R5, but the fleet of optics is EF-L (24-70). I've heard from photographers I know that using EF lenses with SERVO-focus leads to rapid wear of the lens mechanism parts. Is it so?

Wasted over an hour trying to register this lens. It can't be found under either individual or kit. I can find the lens itself, and I can find product support, etc. I just can't register the thing. Canon has the absolutely worst registration page...
I'm thinking about buying a EF 300mm lense but I recently saw that service dates are expected to end in 2028. Would anyone have any concern about buying one because of this? I think these are well built and maybe independent shops could service them ...
I have a EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens that I purchased used. I use it on a 5D Mark IV. I have noticed that it is a bit soft and looked into making some adjustments, with the help of Reikan FoCal Pro. In doing so, I saw that the lens was repor...
Hello Everyone,I'm hoping someone can lend a hand or some advice. I have a new RF 70-200mm F2.8L IS USM Z that works flawlessly in photo/stills mode. However, when I switch to video, I can't change the aperture from F8 and it's locked down in the tou...
Hello, I just bought a new RF 100mm Macro L Lens and had a play with SA Ring. I noticed that the ring is making that inconsistent faint rubbing sound when turning. I never came across such sound with my other lenses but this is the only one shock has...
