    How high an ISO is too high (for you)?

    I really draw the limit at 3200, and 400 for more important work and landscapes

    Photography and video show 2024

    I did the same but only mentioned London There is some show in Newport which is barely Wales in June. I don't know if it's worth the time but at least it is not multiple hours away...

    The Amazing Sony A1/A7/A9/APS-C & Anything else welcome Mega Thread!

    In truth it is possibly a bit of both but customers will generally perceived this as great after service.

    The Amazing Sony A1/A7/A9/APS-C & Anything else welcome Mega Thread!

    On one hand you could argue the existing function set is already sufficient and any updates however minor areas welcome. On the other hand Nikon is making everyone else looking poor, and demonstrates much higher level of service and customer satisfaction

    The Amazing Sony A1/A7/A9/APS-C & Anything else welcome Mega Thread!

    It really depends on how you treat them. Plastic parts are just about the same as any others. They will dent if mistreated. Worst of all the lens cap doesn't like to stay in the filter threads. It does with UV filter on. The metal parts however need to be treated with some respect. You will lose...

    Adapter for the Canon R-series - what should I get and why?

    Basic one there and I have never felt any need or regret of not getting the 2x more expensive one. The ones with filters do cross my mind at times. Since I don't have any bulbous lenses this would only really benefit if rear filters are so much better for ghosting and all that. But that price...

    Samyang 135mm F2 lens

    No need for that. Simply don't click the lens assembly all the way into the camera and obviously be aware of that fact However that combo sounds like a pretty pointless endeavour. Near enough most things with 2x converter are, let alone nom matching one.

    Which Canon RF lenses are significant upgrades to EF?

    If you have one and are happy then obviously fair enough. Currently the sigma art lenses are playing very well not only on RF but also e mount and even apparently z and gfx mounts so you have options there. This is not to say canon won't drop a nuke on them with some update or new camera hoping...

    Which Canon RF lenses are significant upgrades to EF?

    Pretty much. Macros, product work, etc are all fine. I'm just not enjoying it past maybe 3-5m mark towards infinity. The funny little Sigma 70mm macro manages to stay sharp at all settings, but AF is beyond crap on that one (it is not HSM)

    Which Canon RF lenses are significant upgrades to EF?

    I would very much hope so or they better give up making lenses. Tamron 35mm f/1.4 is light years ahead, so are Sigma 28 and 40mm EF mount versions, and then every single option for Sony E mount.

    Which Canon RF lenses are significant upgrades to EF?

    I appreciate IS is very helpful, but then IBIS mostly does the same work, and you still need reasonable shutter speed to accommodate for subject movement, so basically a minimum of 1/200s for 135mm any way you look at it. I definitely agree the EF 24-70mm II can be seen as disappointing when...

    Canon EOS R5 Firmware Update

    minor updates and minor bug fixes. 2.0 in name only.

    Canon 5D mkiv to Sony A7R IV ??

    R6 @ 20MP really limits your printing options for landscapes to somewhere around up to A1, possibly even involving some Topaz to bridge the gap. I have A1 printer and lots of 22MP landscapes so you bet I know it's limit. 8K with the right lenses allows you to stretch as far as 3M wide, before...

    Which Canon RF lenses are significant upgrades to EF?

    that's the relevant part. Horrible body design. Smallrig bracket sort of fixes that. nope. You have set the focus limiter, haven't you? Well that's bad news for the new lens, because there is a lot of room for improvement if you are shooting over longer distances. there are reports of focus...

    Which Canon RF lenses are significant upgrades to EF?

    Sigma ART 135mm is a no-brainer. Their best lens ever. Walks circles around anything Canon 85mm would be about the only cases where you could convince yourself to go RF 1.2 (not DS unless you like crazy vignetting). Sigma ART would slot in between this and the Canon 1.4. You could argue that...
