But, you can do better. 600 f/8 would have been really interesting. I shoot wildlife and birds up to ISO 8000 using Auto ISO and than I go home. That seems as though it should increase the intensity unless the actual aperture were smaller for the lens designed for a smaller sensor than full frame. Super Resolution quadruples the total pixel count of your images using machine learning. It's obviously designed to be handheld. As Tamron is showing that gap in IQ primes had over zooms is decreasing. If you are selling your photos you want a better lens, of course - and there is plenty of choice. Not really ;), it looks like low cost was highest priority, but time will tell. The EOS R6 full-frame mirrorless camera is scheduled to be available at the end of August for an estimated retail price of $2499.00 for the body only, $2.899.00 for the R6 and RF 24-105 F4-7.1 IS STM lens kit or $3,599.00 for the R6 and RF 24-105mm F4 L IS USM lens kit**. Isn't the focus area defined by the camera sensor? [Lens info] Canon EOS R Mark II Canon RF 50mm F1.8 STM Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L USM Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L USM DS Canon RF 85mm f/2 Macro IS STM Canon RF 600mm f/11 IS STM Canon RF 800mm f/11 IS STM Canon RF 15-35mm F/2.8L IS USM Canon RF … Strange lenses. This decision shows that Canon is focusing on mirrorless and soon they will abandon the other system, much as Sony has done. WHy? Quite a few comments about having to hand hold these lenses because they have no tripod mount. Should weight even less than old 400mm.Just dreaming. Fixed aperture but 9 diaphragm blades ????????? Thomas - the people waiting to pounce gleefully on other people's mistakes are usually the people who make the most mistakes in the first place :-). I doubt that it will be visible after Canon's DIGIC X Image Processor gets done working it's magic. I do think Canon have thought this through. It makes you very dubious about believing anything you read in these comments. "Sorry ... no users for f/11 kit lenses". Even my Canon D80 has no issues AF at f/11. 50mm f2 = 25mm aperture. Two Nano USM motors are at the heart of this lens and provide users with high-speed, smooth and quiet auto focus with a minimum focusing distance of three feet. f/11? It would be interesting to compare a crop from a high res camera with a 70-300 f/5.6 lens vs this 600mm f/11 lens without a crop. The RF 1.4x and 2x will give the 600mm F11 and 800mm F11 even more reach. How often something flies parrel to the focal plane? Canon is also introducing four RF lenses and two RF lens extenders: The Canon RF100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM, Canon RF600mm F11 IS STM, Canon RF800mm F11 IS STM, and RF85mm F2 MACRO IS STM lenses. That makes no sense. For the past 5 years Canon has targeted bird photographers at birding festivals. Thanks everyone, I was actually nostalgic for some this old time DPR technical crazy talk. They could be bang-for-the-buck superstars. This is dismal. The BG-R10 accommodates up to two batteries and is compatible with the new LP-E6NH, LP-E6N and LP-E6 batteries. We look at why this one statement holds so much promise for the camera's performance. Yes, you cannot autofocus. A 25mm f/2 lens leads to a smaller absolute (!) In a bizarre twist, Chris is left to argue with himself (literally). That is a difference. I guess this is what the F11 lenses are meant for. Unless it's a slow moving critter I want more SS. Perhaps this is what killed Luigi Colani, less than a year ago....;)). Panning at a slooow shutter speed blurs the background nicely. Watch Video. But man, the sun starts to go down and those ISOs rocket up. Yeah, back in the day slow, long focal length telephoto lenses were a joke. External recording in 4K is also available up to 59.94 fps. And now when it is said it is so obvious. They are not directly applicable. The 1,053 automatically selected AF Zones are made even more potent by the ability to detect the human eye, face or head as well as the eye, face or body of animals such as dogs, cats and even birds. This week, Chris and Jordan share their recommended setup for two popular models: the Canon EOS R5 and R6. If shooting at f11, you will probably have the ISO bumped up a bit or a lot. Let’s hope image quality matches the hype. You are attempting apply principles that work for distant light sources at infinity and apply them to general photography. sure you can find a bird using these kind of focal lengths, with a higher mp body the minimum focus distance is less of an issue. The RF Extender 1.4x and 2x are scheduled to be available at the end of July for an estimated retail price of $499.99 and $599.99** each. Not that this is a Canon specific problem, Tamron and Fuji also proudly include Macro in their non macro lenses. Filling out the 'long' end are one L-series zoom, and two innovative primes. Go to any birding site and look at the photos being posted. Any opinion anyone, other than that, it’s freaking amazing AF is still functioning, even at f22 with 2x extenders. f/11 leads to a noticeable blurring compared to the pixel size of R5. This means that you don't lose light from the object because the light that doesn't hit the M43 sensor isn't from the object anyway, but from the surroundings.It surprises me again and again that people don't understand this. That's equivalent to a 16x scope. With these lenses sharing so many features, it seemed fitting to review them simultaneously. Yep. Japan Camera Hunter recently visited the Nikon Museum at Nikon's headquarters in Tokyo. The alternative is a consumer zoom, or a spotting scope and an iPhone. Do you guys actually read what I write? What a bad decision! Canon does not claim any additional image stabilization advantage when using the IBIS systems in the newly launched EOS R5 and R6. In Myles Matsuno's 'We're the People' video series, Matsuno highlights different people. Reasons for faster long glass: shutter speedlow DOFviewfinder brightness, With modern sensors that can be pushed to higher ISO's than in the past, F11 can be acceptable to still achieve the correct shutter speeds. Why would you want to freeze action? That is the rule how to take moon pictures. Combined with the new Premium Fine Art Rough paper that features a textured surface to express the depth of an image, the printer along with the paper and new EOS R5 or EOS R6 camera introduces a new powerhouse professional imaging trio that meets creators’ demands. Primes are not inherently "better" for every situation if one actually considers all the factors. I would consider this lens, but when I shoot that long, I am usually thinking wildlife. The best high-end camera costing more than $2000 should have plenty of resolution, exceptional build quality, good 4K video capture and top-notch autofocus for advanced and professional users. @Cian... which is why I only read the comments for pure entertainment... and for a good laugh! Its use of gapless dual-layer diffractive optics allow make it far more compact and lightweight than its EF equivalent. It looks like RF mount along with the E and L will stay, the Z mount is in danger. Further, a new Super Resolution feature is included in the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw. You probably can’t shoot evening shots too easily. It's the equivalent of a spotting scope with a better camera capability. I’m not in the market for telephoto lenses, but they’re interesting! It is not as if there is some magic aperture at which images become useless due to diffraction. I got mine at B&H. "If the 25 f/2 lens is focussed to a smaller area the light intensity is greater. All handheld of course, I don't use tripod unless I'm doing proper long exposures. The compact and lightweight lens features optical image stabilization of up to five stops* of shake correction with three different IS modes, including standard, panning and during exposure only. Full marks for being big enough to admit when you've made a mistake yourself. If the 25 f/2 lens is focussed to a smaller area the light intensity is greater. You could buy a 150-600 third party zoom and put a teleconverter on it, but you’d pay a high price in terms of weight and performance. You would need a very sunny day though. is only a half step backwards....;)), Anyway, still holding out & hope for the launch of a true LF-sensor (damn the resolution), so that even my 1000mm/f3.5 Leitz Epis can have a second life....:))(damned be focus, damned be weight, damned be handling). I suspect that the 600, 800 f/11 lenses suit R6 more than R5. This 800mm lens plus camera body goes around 4 pounds. Of course, then you get F22. Why would this be? A sunny day for what?ISO has gone just as sky-high....;)), If you only pull out the 800m's extension halfway, does it become a 400? Can the EOS R5's…, Here is a new Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L IS review. 500px offers Pro members a new web-building tool for creating portfolio sites to show off their work beyond the 500px community. As the new flagship model in the EOS R series lineup, the EOS R5 camera has features that pack a punch for a variety of users who create both still and video content. Sunny 16 would suggest you'd be at a pretty high ISO (around 1200 - 2400) in bright daylight.
