I'm considering buying a used 70-200 f2.8 IS II that was purchased in 2010, used on a safari trip and then put on a shelf and never used again.What if anything could be a concern due to lack of use?I plan on using it on my camera to take some test sh...
Hi New to the forum and just purchased 7D to replace 500D. The old camera had a very nice 18-300 Canon lens which I was proposing to use on the new camera. However less than a year ago the lens locked and would not move. Took it to the outlet that I ...
I am not sure how to post a message on here, but I have a canon eos rebel xs; I always use the long lens 75-300mm for sports photos for my grandkids. They were great until it got colder and a little foggy here. I use the auto sports setting. I hav...
So I currently am using the sony a6300 and my favorite lens is the 85mm (sony e-mount) though I am looking to switch to either the canon 5d mk3 or mk4 and I was wondering if there is an adapter to be able to use the sony 85mm on the canon, if so what...
Hi!I have a theoretical question.I always thought that maximum magnification ratio of a lens can be calculated when given (maximum) focal length and minimum focusing distance. In fact things seem different.A popular canon kit lens EF-S 18-55 mm f/3.5...

I just ordered my first prime lens from B&H. The Canon EF-S (I know, I know) 24mm f/2.8 STM. I did this for a couple of reasons. First, was the fact that I've been getting a little more into street photography, and while I had been using my 18-55mm ...
Hi All, I'm new to photography & getting to grips with my EOS80D + 10-18mm. My interest is seascape/ landscape. I've noticed that in a large % of my images I have issues with lens flare even when I have back to sun or sun is not even in image or obsc...
Hey all, I have a canon EOS 1300D. So far I have just been using the 18-55mm kit lens. I am now in the market for a new lens. I am looking at doing quite a lot of wildlife photography and was wondering if you guys could point me in the direction of a...
Do you have to convert an EF-S lens on a cropped sensor camera (60D)? I have searched the forum and not gotten a very clear answer. I am looking at 2 lenses: EF 28mm f/1.8 USM and EF-S 24mm f2.8 STM At first glance they look very similar: only 4mm di...
I am considering this lens but would be interested in the experience of anyone who has used one so far as to its performance - strengths and weaknesses - including anyone using it with the teleconverter MkIII x 2 or x 1.4.
Currently saving up for a new lens, and I'm debating between a L Lens and ART Lens.(any range between 20mm to 35mm or 85mm). I mostly shoot portraits, cityscape, landscape, portrait, and night photography. However, I want to hear y'all's experience w...
We recently purchased a Rebel T6 kit that came with two lenses, 18-55 and 70-300. While on vacation this last week, I found that I would like another lens to complement them as more of a walking around lens. The Rebel is APS-C so a FF would work, b...
Dear friends, I had an accidente and I have to replace the "image stabilizer" for my Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens. Unfortunately, I could not get the spare in my country, also the lens is out of warranty. So, I hope to find the spare by my...
Hello! My 70-200 has not been focusing beyond 10m lately (either manual or auto), and I took it in for repair. The repair shop said they cannot fix it and Canon no longer supports the lens. What are my options??
