It is fun to sometimes walk around with a prime, sometimes with a zoom like the 70-300L. For a travel lens, I am usually f/5.6-f/11. Usually I...

You're correct, I really view the 28-70/2 as a collection of prime lenses. For my typical subjects, I don't find it restrictive. Many years ago, I...

I am traveling for work at the moment. But my thought is to wait for more reviews. Build quality is important for a travel lens. Like Neuro, the...

This new lens got me looking at what else has been popping up. It seems Sigma had a 28-70mm f/2.8 for a while, and just announced a 28-105mm f/2.8...

i wasn't the one hoping for a 24-70/4, but the new 28-70/2.8 is a pass for me. Never say never, but I won't pre-order it. Small, light, good IQ and...

You wanted a slimmed down 24-70 f/4. How about the new 28-70mm f/2.8? Would you miss the wide end? Willing to live with the vignette and...

Watched the video... he's just shooting on a tripod w/ no tracking... and basic advise like "avoid light pollution", and "beware of people with head...

Haven't watched it, but B&H's YouTube has an Astrophotography in Iceland video from just 3 days ago. (Channel:...

Learned several things last night. 1st get really good at finding the north star, the cell phone apps I have where poor, not comically bad. 2nd...

One more day to vote!

Brant, you were right -- something was off. I did a bit more testing this morning. I believe the errors I was getting were the result of the aperture...

Now voting!

Thank for the info, clears things up a bit.

Based on comments from Roger Cicala (owner emeritus of LensRentals), repairing a lens doesn’t take too long regardless of the degree of damage. What...

I am replacing my first photo with this one:

Thank you. I was slightly concerned with the one day turn around but it's Canon so I put it out of my mind. That and I didn't get an email saying...

Thank you. Huge relief on my part. Just need to decide which new lens to get.

Great outcome!

That is the type of update I really like! Excellent news.

Final update on my lens for those interested: Canon got the lens Tuesday (8/27) and Wednesday afternoon I got an email from them saying it was...

Phew, you were lucky in both stories! I will be looking into ways to secure my camera in the ballhead better and what happened to you in the second...

I just tested my Sigma 50A on my R5, three different apertures. It was working. Something seems off. But, you have also found another...

Not long ago I bought a used Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II in great condition off of eBay (it was pristine). For kicks, I took it outside to the street...

Yep. It's running the most recent firmware. It's impossible to shoot it at anything but f/1.4 and locks up the camera if you try to change apertures...
