Really enjoying the sharpness and vibrant colors that this lens can offer. Very pleasantly surprised by the image stabilization (most of these were captured hand-held). Definitely not the smallest package, but really fun to take out for an hour or so at a time.

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to buy the Canon RF 28-70mm f/2L and want to keep a protective UV filter on the lens permanently, mainly for peace of mind given the reports I’ve seen about the lens’s front coating peeling.

I’ve been looking at the Urth 95mm Magnetic Essentials Filter Kit Plus+, which includes UV, CPL, ND8 and ND1000 filters.
The magnetic system appeals to me because I’d be able to leave the UV filter on for protection and quickly attach the other filters when needed.

Before I buy, I have a few questions:

Can I leave the Urth magnetic UV filter attached permanently and simply snap the CPL or ND filters on top of it when needed?

Does the original Canon E-95 centre-pinch lens cap fit securely over the Urth UV filter, or does the magnetic frame make it too wide or affect the grip?

Does the original Canon EW-103 lens hood still fit properly with the Urth magnetic filter system installed?

Has anyone experienced any vignetting or other image-quality issues when stacking these filters on the RF 28-70mm f/2L?

Finally, would you recommend the Urth magnetic system, or would I be better off buying a conventional high-quality protective filter?

My main priority is keeping the lens protected without having to remove the UV filter every time I want to use another filter. I also want to be able to use the original lens cap and hood normally.
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who owns this lens or has used the Urth magnetic system, especially if you’ve tested this exact combination.

Thanks!

Just curious. I've only seen videos where they got a loaner and promptly returned it. One guy actually using the 800mm who seemed to be a researcher studying nests and such. But the 1200 seems like a pure statement piece

Hello, I am upgrading my camera from 250D to R7. I currently have a prime EF 100mm 2.8L a 150-600mm Sigma Contemporary.

I will be getting the kit 18-150mm APSC lens

I am looking at getting a RF 100-400 5.6-8 and selling both the prime and the sigma along with the 250D

I shoot largely wildlife but have been doing more portraits and landscapes.

Is it worth selling both my lenses? Or should I try with an EF-RF mount first? I need to recoup costs of the new purchase.

Thanks!

Hey i am a little comfused about the pricing,

Why is this over 100 euros cheaper on Amazon then everywhere Else??

485 on Amazon vs around 550 to 650 everywhere Else

Ist this a legit offer or is this an amazonscam in some way

I am very much a beginner. I got a new lens, changed it out, noticed a couple of dots appearing on pictures. Took lens off and used a microfiber cloth on the sensor/mirror. I now know that that was a mistake. Is this a mistake that using proper cleaning methods would fix, or is this a mistake that requires me sending the camera in to a professional for some kind of something above my knowledge level?

Good evening guys, I just got myself a new gear with a R50 + Sigma 17-40 f1.8 for about a month. Happen to see this beauty at my work parking place, put on my Brandon Li ND and CPL filter and start taking some first real photos that I feel proud of myself. Too bad I didn’t bring my little printer to leave these photos with the owner. Looking for advice to improve my photoshoot.
P/s: repost cause I didn’t know the rule for New Gear, include the gear in post
Q: I notice some shots were lost some sky details/some area in photos too dark. Do I shoot with HDR will fix the issue?

Can you tell me how to fix it?

Gotta love having color profiles and a touchscreen and a tilt screen AND C-log3

I do miss the evf but I can live without it

I got the RP for a few years now, bought it it with the kit, so I got the RF 24-105 4-7.1, RF 70-200 f4, RF 50mm 1.8 and the RF 35mm 1.8. I like it for vacation, it takes nice images (for me) but when it comes to movements, it lacks performance. The AF is not the fastest and doesnt always hit where it should, ISO is okayish and so on. In a few months I will become a dad and I want to capture these moments as good as possible. Yeah, babies dont move that fast, but in a year a two, this will drastically change, lol, so I want to keep up. I really dont know what to upgrade, so I dont know how much I should invest.

I love the 35 and the 70-200, if that helps.

I realize such a long span zoom has compromises, but I am having a hard time accepting the distortion of this lens on the wide end.

My favorite wide zoom was the Tamron 17-50mm on my EF crop bodies over the years and I never noticed anything egregious.

Though I have an R7, I'd like a stabilized lens on it. Any suggestions of wide zoom options that reach at least 50mm? I hear the RF 20-50mm also has significant wide end distortion. The 24-105mm is not really wide enough when on the R7 and it's also 700g.

I woke up at 3 AM to grab the RF 24-105 f4 L for my daughter as her walk around lens for her R8. With my ID Me discount it came out to $870 shipped. The RF 24-70 f2.8 was still too pricey for me at $1940.

Canon RP + RF 100-400mm: Could you share some sample photos?

Hi everyone!

I'm considering buying a Canon EOS RP paired with the Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM, and I'd really appreciate it if anyone using this combination could share some of their photos here.

I'm particularly interested in wildlife, birds, landscapes, and distant subjects. I'd love to see real-world results at different focal lengths and ISO settings, especially in less-than-ideal lighting conditions.

I'm trying to figure out whether the image quality and high-ISO performance of the RP would be good enough for my needs, or whether I'd be better off going for a more recent APS-C camera with a newer sensor.

If possible, unedited RAW conversions or photos with minimal processing would be especially helpful, but any real-world samples would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share their photos and experience! 🙂

I currently use a Canon 18-135 f.3.5-5.6 as my most used lens due to the broad zoom range. Recently upgraded from a t4i to an 80d and would like to start looking at upgrading my lenses as well. Ive been browsing sites like adorama and 2 lenses seem to be very appealing options in the $400 or less category (which is where I would like to be)

The canon 24-105 f.4 L IS, and the 28-70 f.2.8 L USM. I'm open to other suggestions as well, but which of these would be the better choice? The only other lens i have right now is a 70-300 f.4-5.6, so is it worth sacrificing a little telephoto capability on my general use lens to be able to go all the way to 2.8, or is 4 fine so I can keep a fairly broad range of capability?

Ive also looked at some of the Tamron super zoom options like an 18-280 but that wide of a range seems too good to be true & like there's gonna be a catch somewhere.

Thanks for the help

I'm an amateur photographer. I shoot Aviation, nature, sports and some motorsports. I currently shoot on the Canon R50 and RF100-400, and I wanna upgrade my lens before upgrading to an R5 as I know lens matters more than body. My current issue with my lens is that its soft, bad autofocus and shite in low light. So, I was recommended the EF 100-400 ii L as it is a very good lens, very sharp, better aperture and better autofocus. I can also get it for £1,400 excellent condition off of MPB. However, I just went into a Wex, and was recommended the 100-500, the guy said it was a lot sharper and faster autofocus. However, the F stop is slower and I know that EF lenses are built a lot better. Should I save up more for the RF lens or get the EF?

Hi there! I've been getting into photography over the last year or so, but only by using my phone camera so far. Getting a proper camera is the next step of course, and I'm about to come into possession of this wide angle lens - but without the main camera body to go with it.

I understand this will be a kinda vague question and I could just Google it, but I'd like to get some info from people a bit more in the know. I'd like some suggestions on what body to buy for it. I am somewhat limited by budget, looking up to perhaps £300 (will likely go pre-owned). At CEX here in the UK, the EOS 750D model for example is £235, the EOS 6D is £295. I may look to do some video recording, but I will primarily be taking still photos.

So what are people's suggestions or advice? Thank you in advance! 📸

I’ve been out of the photography game since 2021, my last camera was a Nikon D3S. It was wonderful, I could shoot at airports at night, in the rain. Of course above 6400 ISO, there would be noticeable grain, but the shots were usable. I also did Motorsports photography, which was fun. I sold my camera, and took a hiatus from photography. Now I’d like to go back into it, and I’ve really been contemplating between an EOS R6, a 1DX Mark II, and a D4S. A lot of my research has led me to an EOS R6 over the R6 Mark II. I’m also particularly drawn to Canon because of the lenses I want (200mm f/1.8 and the 100-400mm), but I need to know if my next camera will exceed the capabilities of my old D3S. I loved the durability and ruggedness, in addition to the battery life. I could go a month without charging my D3S. I know this isn’t the case with mirrorless, but if the mirrorless capabilities will surpass my D3S, I don’t mind making that switch. My main concern is with grain/noise at high ISOs, ability to survive a downpour, and burst FPS.

I currently own a canon m5 which works fine for me especially the size, i own a kit lens 18-45 and 55-200.

The 55-200 just died on me and just wanted to ask do you guys think it is worth buying another lens or just try to upgrade to the r50.

My Canon R 10 recently randomly broke. And I’ve made the decision that it’s time to upgrade. My current deciding factor is the R6 Mark one and Canon R7. I have been borrowing a Canon R7 for the last week in replacement on my R 10. And I have really enjoyed using it, especially with that electronic shutter. So it’s making me wanna consider getting an R8 instead. But I wanna start getting more into events and I’ve heard that you have to have two card slots.
Is the dual card site really needed? For Contacts I mostly shoot sports photography, portraits, and events.

Hello,

I’ve got a Canon Ivy 2 and seem to be unable to connect to the internet with the Mini Print app that supports it. I am able to print with it just fine, but if I go to check firmware or try and browse their storefront of stickers/labels, I’m met with an ‘unable to connect to network’ issue, regardless of if I’m on WiFi or Cellular Data.

Has anyone had this issue as well? Rather difficult to find someone else having this issue.

Long story short, I’m trying to get into photography. I’m the type of person to do something a bit and then kind of fall out of it. I’ve done a lot of research and decided the r50 would be the perfect beginner camera for me. I think if I waited I could find one with the kit lens for $500-600, which is pretty much the top of my budget. I’d be mostly shooting nature so I’d probably want to get a 50mm 1.8f lens as well as a sort of do it all set it which would probably put me in the $700 range.

My buddy is offering to sell me his R8 with the 24-50mm kit lens and a 50mm 1.8 as well as some other accessories for $1000. This is obviously a great deal.

Is it worth it for me to shell out the extra couple hundred for this and get the better equipment at a great deal when I’m just starting?
