  • Most aspects of lens performance have improved enormously over the past 20 years or so but vignetting is still there. It is so easy to correct in PP that manufacturers have chosen to ignore it, ...
  • Just my suspicious mind!
  • You can open 1DXII RAWs with LR6's latest camera RAW upgrade but not that for PSCS6. Though I expect new camera support will soon be for CC only in LR too.
  • Photoshop CC should support the camera (with the latest ACR plugin), unfortunately not so for CS6. You need the latest LR6 ACR upgrade too. I am still stubbornly refusing to switch to a ...
  • The 16-35 is designed for FF cameras. This doesnt mean it wont work well on a 7DII but the difficulties of designing a wide angle zoom for FF mean that its zoom range is relatively limited (just ...
  • I'll probably use CFast most of the time just to get the more efficient RAW buffering. If you want 4K video then you've no choice but a big CFast 2 card. Seems that Canon chose to forgo H.264 for ...
  • Replied in 1dx vs 1dx II
    I think Canons aim has probbaly been to reduce the read noise at low ISO and improve DR there by a stop or two. Most of the sony/Nikon chips have had great low ISO DR but Canon was slightly ahead ...

  • I have the 300 II, 400 DO II, 500 f4II and 600 f4II and would say that differences in IQ with a 1.4III TC are too small to notice on my 7DII or 5DIII. The 300II is easiest to use with the 2XIII but ...
  • Malwarebytes is probably your best bet. Kasperskys free TDSS rootkit remover may also be useful-wont necessarily remove the  detected malware but can disable/remove many of the surruptitiously ...
  • Yes I assume most of it is exchange rate related but it still surprised me I could buy a 400 DO II in the Netherlands for approx £4700 as opposed to £6999 in the UK. I must have bought at just the ...
  • I think most of the big name camera stores were allocated several 400DO IIs, any other store which ordered early seemed next in line. It's taking a long time to satisfy all the orders and I'm not ...
  • The lens is listed because it's a technical tour-de-force and fulfuls it's remit admirably. OTOH the number of photographers who really need this lens is very limited IMO. For most people the ...
  • I imagine several non t/s primes and particularly the 180 macro will be revised before the 17TSE. (Maybe the 90 T/S also, though this is already very sharp). While the 17 T/Sit is not the very ...
  • As Canon recommend attaching the TC to the lens first, not the camera, might it be necessary to engage the internal TC too before attaching the whole combo to the body? I would add that I have no ...
  • I would agree that the car's speed/panning are the main issues; even higher shutter speeds would be better. Having said that, I think its acceptably sharp and the noise is what I'd expect from the ...
  • I think the 600DO advantage will be reduced size more than light weight. Everytime I pick up my 600II it feels really bulky (especially with hood in place ) rather than heavy. If the optical ...
  • I assume they are referring to 'hard vignetting' i.e. not light falloff but visible filter at the edges of the image.  I think using a filter at 12.5mm is fairly miraculous, polaraizers are best ...
  • I don't have this lens but chose the 16-35/4 instead(after years with a 17-40). Many purchasers have been allured buy the extreme WA but I anticipate  in a year or so lots will be sold on for the ...
  • I'd rather not pay even more for a case. Canon provide what is effectively a free dust cover so you can choose a case/bag that suits your needs. Canon are good at honouring warranties, fast ...
