When manually focusing the EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM macro lens (or any lens, for that matter), is best practice to align the distance index | with the periods on the distance scale (e.g. 0.30 m) or with the magnification ratios' central colons (e.g. 1:...
I am using 16-35mm 1:2.8 Canon EF lens. Being wide angle I have noticed the far left and right sides of the images are not sharp. Using auto focus around F11. Does anyone have an explanation.
My daughter has asked for my old camera and I have given it to her. It is the Rebel EOS T1i. She wants some new lens's but before I invest I would like to know a few things. The 2 lens's we currently have are the EF-S 18-55 IS and the EF-S 55-250 mm ...
It is winter so bugs are in short supply. I have a good tripod. I have only played a bit with it but it has fantastic bokeh for my girls' birthday cake in front of our Christmas tree. :). Any my suggestions on how to dive in?
Happy Holidays. I've been thinking too much again. Let me start with what is probably a false assumption. Suppose I have a lens that uses a 58mm filter, and another that uses a 77mm filter. For argument's sake, I'm assuming that the lens elements ...
Shot these the other day with a Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 APO DG OS HSM Lens on my Caon EOS 1D Mk IIn. This lens and camera have been discontinued but both can be found on the used market at steep discounts. Everybody knows the ruggedness of build in...
My daughter has a nice Canon 50mm lens that she uses with her EOS 6D 20.2 MP CMOS DSLR. She wants to try film; will newer lenses fit on a Rebel 2000 SLR? Thanks!
Hi All, I'm a cheer mom and I own a T3i canon with 18-55mm lense. I have no photography skills, just point and shoot. I am looking to capture the full cheer team in photos and video. Any recommendations on a lense that will help me? Lighting is u...
Need some advice in finding lense for a canon eos rebel t3i. I primarily will use it to take action shots for team sports such as basketball, soccer, cross country, etc. I need a good lense that is not extremely expensive as I am not a professional...
Does the built-in 1.4x extender make the lens 280 - 560mm or is the extender to get the 200-400? Thanks.
I have a Canon 6D and my husband got me a 500 mm fixed lens. No autofocus and I want to know what would be the best settings for moon shots. In particular quarter or half moon. I get some good ones and then I get some that are too bright if I use the...
I put up a bird feed at the edge of a woods about 80 feet from my lunch table behind a french door. My Canon EOS Rebel T3i with EF 75-300 mm 1:4-5.6 will not bring into focus the birds, large and small. What lens do I need to buy that will do the job...
I recently bought Canon's 1.4x extender to go with my old version Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS Lens and 7D Mk II body. The combo does AF although it's quite slow and only the centre AF point can be used. I expected this so no complaints there. What ...
Hi Everyone, So I know this has been an issue prevalent in forums all over the place, and I'm pretty behind the times, but I was curious if anyone had found any new work arounds or fixes to this issue. I'm shooting on a t3i with this lens I just pick...
Has anyone gotten starburst to appear on images with an apperature of 15 or smaller on the 50mm 1.8 stm? A few of my manual lenses performs like that and even my kit zoom lens allows for it, so I'm testing to see and no luck discovering if it will p...
