With my RF 70-200 on an EOS R it sounds like the Image Stabilization is always on, no matter the position of the IS on/off switch. As long as the camera is turned on I can hear the motors in the lens. N o change in sound when I slide the switch on an...
For the silver lens mount of the lens in subject line I know screws are part number XA1-7200-806. Where can I purchase them? Also what size JIS(crosscut) screwdriver should I use for these screws ?
has anyone had this issue as well. I press that shoot button but nothing happens. There are no error messages, it's on manual focus but it won't shoot and picture or videos with the lens.
Hi All, I would like to know your thought on paying extra for IS. Do you really need IS for 300mm and beyond? I am keen at getting either 300 or 400 mm lens for bird photography. That said, I found myself shooting mostly with a tripod. Thanks.
Hi all. I just picked up a used Canon EF 1.4x II extender and attached it to a Tamron G2 70-200 f/2.8 lens. The camera displays f/5.6 to f/45???? Exactly two stops high on each end. Is that a compatibility/communication issue between the two bra...
Hello, I was just wondering if it makes sense to buy a broken lens and have Canon repair it? The lens in question is Canon 300mm F2.8 USM IS mark 1. Per the seller, the housing broke (where the lens connects to the camera). No other visible signs of ...
Hi All, I am still testing and experimenting with the "new" 80d I got. My question is, is this EFS 18-55 any good? It's the cheapie that came with the camera and the same one as I had on my 40d (the one with the 80d is much newer manufacture than th...
Hi All, With the lockdown, I am thinking of playing around with macro photography. I was thinking of getting a dedicated macro lens like the 100mm f/2.8, but then I saw some youtube videos of people playing with extension tubes. I have a 24-70mm f/2....
Hi All, Can someone please let me know what Canon EF 400mm f/4 DO IS USM is used for? Can it be used for Birds and Wildlife Photography? Thanks.
Hello,I have a Canon 80D with a canon 70-300 zoom lens (Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 L). It is a very good lens that I use mostly for wildlife and birds. However, I would like to have more zoom capacity. I am considering the Sigma 150-600mm lens for a...
Hello All! I’m mainly a portrait photographer but plan on doing a lot of landscapes in the near future. Figured I should buy my first telephoto lens, and was wondering if I should buy a used 70-200mm f/4 or a 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS. I would like the f/2...
Introduction Canon has made some excellent kit lenses - the EF-S 18-55 STM, EF-S18-135 STM and nano USM, and the EF-S 55-250 STM are standout examples. The gold standard for Canon zoom lenses has been measured against the Luxury L lenses. Among the m...
I have noticed a slight rattle in the rf 35mm f1.8 lens. It ahappens whe I slightly shake the lens and autofocus in picture mode. It is silent in video mode. Is this normal?
So this is a new 100-400 MK2 on an 80D. My settings are:1 point manual focus, evaluating metering, back button focus, single shooting, and AI servo. The issue is it (with full AF setting on the lens) would focus at 400mm on a far object fine, however...
