I wanted a canon m50 but we didn’t have enough money so my mom gave me her canon 600d (she got it 7-8 years ago) im very happy tho ! Ps: The « its over for yall » is obviously ironical its the only picture i got of my camera and i’ve sent it to my friends as a joke, dont take it personally lolll
I was skeptical about the RF 100-400 at first, but it is definitely more capable than I expected.
I am looking for Canon EOS R10 with 18-150 mm lens. Currently, Canon website shows it as out of stock. Does anyone here have any idea how often does Canon offer refurbished products?
Hi guys, maybe this will help someone. I'm working out what prime to take for indoors for my next holiday (28mm vs 35mm), and if I want to upgrade my 50mm f1.8 to 45mm. So I took few shots for comparison, I understand each lens is not exactly the specified focal lenght and can focus breath etc. 4 shots on my RF 24-105mm f4 with on screen focal displayed, cluttered attic conversion for real life reference.
TLDNR: 28mm vs 35mm significant difference, 35mm is last focal lenght without wide angle distortion.
50mm vs 45mm very small difference, I'm considering swapping my nifty fifty for the RF45mm f1.2.
I have the Canon EOS Rebel 1000. It came with this flash but it doesn’t seem to be working. It makes tone, but no lights come on and it won’t let me press the shutter button. I am gonna try to get a different one. Do I have to get a Canon one specifically? Can I get a cheaper flash? I don’t know what kind of hot shoe pin layout I need. I literally know NOTHING about external flashes. Please help!
Hey Guys,
I currently have an EOS RP with the 24-105 Kit Lens, I Love it and it geht’s the Job done. I will get a 100-400 later on to get better Wildlife Photos.
But I love to take more Photos of Landscapes, Persons and Stellar (Milkyway and so on…)
What Lens would you recommend for that?
I am currently torn between the 16mm f2.8, 24mm f1.8, 35mm f1.8 and the 50mm f1.8. I dont really know if a Prime Lens ist suitable? Maybe a Zoom lens with enough Aparture for the Stellar Photos?
Maybe you recommend something completely different? I dont need L lenses. Some opinions would be Great. Maybe you have some experience with the Lenses.
Greetings and thanks for your Help :)
Looking at a 24-105mm F4 on eBay and asked the seller if there was a spot of fungus under the front element, with a screenshot.
Checked the advert and he’s clearly used AI on both pictures of the front glass to remove the fungus and removed “no fungus” from his description.
Thank god you’re at least better protected on eBay….but what a prick!
Hi im a beginner and I am interested in buying the Canon r50 . I have heard a lot of complaint and dislike about the kit lens, so im looking for any alternative lenses that I could buy from canon ( $200 - $500 budget ) that is just average? I dont need a huge long fancy heavy lens, just a light one that I can easily carry around. Thank you in advance! ( FYI : I intend to use the r50 camera for like everyday photography, just shooting things I find nice be it landscape, on the streets, the weather, cars, those kinds of stuff - a casual photography you may call it )
Found this Marketplace listing for an RF 45mm f/1.2 STM in the wild and noticed the red ring on the lens. This is obviously not an L series lens - did this person literally swap the control ring piece for a red one?
Hello I have 2 lens the RF 24-105mm f4 L, and the RF 10-18mm f4-6.3 . I was wondering if any of yall have specific lens protector recommendations . I live in Okinawa Japan so the entire island is like one big beach so having the protector will really ease my mind . Yes I already bought hoods for them but I just want to be extra protected . I want protector that doesn’t affect the image quality or colors too much , but I’ll just so what you recommend specifically . Thank you !
Sold my last SLR body in 2016. Kept the lenses, but never really got back into photography.
What I still have:
Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM
Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM (kind of redundant at this point)
Canon 16-35mm (can’t remember whether it’s the f/2.8 or f/4)
Canon EF 100-400mm L IS II USM
Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8
I’m now thinking of getting back into it, mainly birding with some occasional portrait/street photography.
I’m pretty out of touch with where mirrorless has got to. I’ve also heard that prices for older SLR lenses, particularly EF-S, have dropped quite a bit.
The 100-400 is a legend and the Tamron 17-50 gave me some of my favourite results, so one option is simply to pick up a second-hand Canon body and use what I already have.
But I’m curious about the other route.
If I sold everything and moved to a completely new mirrorless system, how badly out of pocket would I be?
What is the advantage to justify switching to new or why would I be better off keeping the lenses and building around them?
Would be interested in what people who’ve made the DSLR to mirrorless jump think.
I know I can ask AI, but wanted real world feedback :)
Edit : overwhelmed by the depth of responses and so fast. Thank you all! Lots for me to think about. Seems like the lenses stay a fanily heirloom and I scrape up for a used 10r. Im in Asia btw, deals arent as juicy as the US on used gear. Thank you all again!!!
Yes, I know the R7 doesn't have battery grips.
I bought a broken BG-R10 and modified it to fit on the Canon R7
I used the BG-E22 on the R7, and it worked well, but the quality wasn't good.
The shutter doesn't work on the grip, nor does the extra battery capacity, but I use it for my big hands and store a tracker, tripod mount, and extra battery in the compartment. You can solder a jack cable in order for the shutter to work, and plan on doing that later on. Overall, it's a great mod and requires tools like a file and a saw.
I posted a couple of weeks ago asking about moving on from my trio of 30D to something new. I ended up going 'full beans' and getting the R5mkii. I must admit the learning curve has been way way more challenging than I expected. Almost as painful as the cost of the memory cards for the camera, makes the camera look cheap.
Photos are just some 'snaps' - never done bird photos before, I'm more urban and sports, but had the time today so just took some local. Last one I missed focus, but was the 'best' composition and I'm not ashamed to say I'm still learning how to 'tame the beast' of the R5mkii. It's got a lot of smart stuff in there, but it can also do dumb shit when the even dumber shit behind the eye cup doesn't ask nicely ;-)
Thanks to those that offered advice. Now, just need to work out what second body to get... Still thinking 5DmkIV.....
I'm looking to start printing my own work and offer prints to my customers. I found a used Pro-1000 online that the seller says probably hasn't been used in a year. Photos show the printer in the Styrofoam in the box with the plastic still on the screen. I've read that these need to print a few times a week to keep the lines clean. This will also come with a bunch of paper in various sizes.
Alternatively I could get a new Pro-200S right now for a little more.
Anyone think I should risk the Pro-1000 for almost half off of it's price?
Bonjour !
Avant tout, désolé si ce sujet existe en doublon. Je n'en ai pas trouvé mais je suis certain que ce genre de question est fréquemment posée.
Je possède actuellement un R7 avec un RF400mm et un 50mm 1.8 très classique.
Ces deux objectifs me sont utiles, mais tout ceci m'a coûté extrêmement cher (je suis étudiant). J'aimerais trouver un objectif grand angle pour faire des pauses longues de paysages. Pensez-vous qu'un objectif à focus manuel basique avec un adaptateur soit une bonne solution ? Je possède par exemple un Konica 24mm 2.8 sur lequel un adaptateur ferait l'affaire à moins cher qu'un objectif RF natif hors de prix.
Je ne cherche ni la rapidité, ni la mobilité. Juste un moyen pas cher de faire du paysage avec un capteur APS-C contraignant quand il s'agit de faire du paysage. (Le 50mm est trop gros en APS-C).
Merci d'avance pour vos réponses !
I recently got a canon EF 28-105mm f3.5-4.5 lens, and when i press the shutter button nothing happens, it seems as if it’s trying to autofocus despite being in MF Mode. Help?
EDIT: You guys are saying it’s the adapter, which is prob true it was the first $30 one from amazon. For anyone else with this issue, click Menu, go to the orange camera icon, and enable “Release shutter w/o lens”.
Hey all, looking for some grounded advice from people who’ve actually used these lenses long-term.
Background: I’m a retired wedding/commercial photographer. I’ve been slowly saving up for a 400 2.8 for a few years now — not because I need it professionally anymore, but because it’s something I want to own for myself, for personal work. No deadline, no client pressure, just want to make the right call.
A while back I stumbled into a manual FD 400 2.8L (the old FD mount version) and picked it up almost by accident. I wasn’t expecting much going in, but after the first real session with it on my R6, I was honestly shocked at how good the glass is. Rendering, contrast, sharpness wide open — it completely exceeded what I expected from a decades-old design.
What surprised me most: I assumed the lack of autofocus would be the limiting factor, but it really wasn’t. For static/semi-static subjects, manual focusing on the R6 (focus peaking + magnification) has actually gone better than I expected — I’ve been landing focus consistently. The thing that actually got in my way was the weight, not the AF.
So now I’m weighing two options for going AF/modern:
There’s also the question of whether to just wait 1-2 more years and either save toward a III, or see where things land with the RF 400mm f/2.8 ecosystem (I shoot R6, so native RF would eventually make sense, but I know the current RF 400 2.8 is a serious investment on top of everything else).
My biggest actual concern isn’t image quality — it’s long-term serviceability. I don’t want to spend real money on a II or III and then end up with an expensive paperweight in 5-10 years if parts/repair support dries up. Since I’m not shooting professionally and don’t need this lens “right now,” I have the luxury of waiting for the right window, but I don’t want to wait so long that I miss a good copy or a fair price.
Given all this — no urgency, prioritizing long-term usability over having the absolute latest tech, but wanting something serviceable for years to come — would you go with the II now, hold out for a III, or wait for RF? Anyone dealt with repair/parts availability issues on the II specifically?
Appreciate any real experience, especially from people who’ve owned more than one generation of this lens.
I’m EU based if this matters at all, however travelling around to the UK and US sometimes, but please keep in mind that customs do apply to those big white lenses.
Just tested my 17-55 2.8 vs the kit lens and the ef 40mm 2.8.. (also the order the pictures are uploaded in)
All at f8, iso 320, 1/10 on a tripod with 2 sec timer and electronic shutter. all manual focus on the 90D
I think the pictures rank like this: 40mm > 18-55 3.5-5.6 > 17-55 2.8
My 17-55 might just be a bad copy.. cause this seems weird.
Anyone else try out a better lens for it to just.. performe worse??
Hello, I wanted to ask an opinion on buying the RF 35mm f/1.8 IS STM.
I currently own a Canon EOS RP with a 24-105mm f/4-7.1. I like the camera and I think I'm getting better with it, and I was thinking about a second lens. The one I found is the aforementioned 35mm. Do you think it makes sense to buy it as a second lens? I mainly use my camera while traveling.
The main limitations I found with my current lens are night pictures and some sharpness in the pictures, which might be due to a lack of skill, so I'm asking for a more expert opinion.
