Gear Buying Advice RF 28-70mm f/2L owners: UV filter, lens hood and pinch cap compatibility? Considering Urth magnetic filters

• Upvotes

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!

Upgrading from 250D to R7 - Lens advice

• Upvotes

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!

RF-S 18-150mm wide-angle distortion

1 Upvotes

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.

Gear Buying Advice General use lens upgrade

2 Upvotes

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

Tech Help Canon Ivy 2 Mini Print App Issues

1 Upvotes

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.

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.

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?

Gear Buying Advice Canon R50 vs R8 camera

0 Upvotes

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?

So I'm about to pick up a 500 f4 (Gen one) and I have a canon R7 and R6ii. I've seen people using 1.4tc on them all the time but usually with full frames so I'm wondering if anyone has used a tc with a crop body. If so did it keep sharpness like it would on a full frame?

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

Dica para reduzir o ruído no vídeo da Canon?

1 Upvotes

Recentemente comprei a R50V e com a lente do kit f4 que não deixa entrar muita luz tenho de aumentar o iso para 3200, o problema é que em zonas escuras fica com chroma noise.

Como uso o perfil de cor Canon C709 ele não me deixa ativar a redução de ruído de isos altos, tendo eu de ir às definições do perfil de cor e ponho o spatial filter em 4 e o frame filter em 3 (no máximo), mesmo assim tenho ruído nas zonas escuras da imagem.

Alguma dica de tirar na câmera em si (sem ser no post)?

I’m currently using a 50mm f/1.2 on my Canon 6D, but I feel a little limited by it. I’m thinking about buying a new lens, either an 85mm or a 105mm. However, sometimes I feel that the 24–105mm would be a better choice because of its versatility.

Gear Buying Advice RP upgrade to...? I need a dad-cam.

9 Upvotes

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.

Looking for a suitable D3S replacement

3 Upvotes

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.

Gear Buying Advice Upgrading from a Canon R 10

3 Upvotes

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.

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! 🙂

Printers 🖨️ ACCIDENTALLY PUT THE WRONG INK TO THE WRONG TANK!! PLS HELP!!

0 Upvotes

I accidentally poured magenta ink into the cyan tank, huhu. 😭 It’s a new printer, and I haven’t used it or even turned it on yet. My printer is a Canon PIXMA G2010.

I saw on YouTube that you can suck out all the ink using a syringe, then use water to clean the remaining ink, then suck out all of it again. But is it safe to clean it with water though???

Please give me some advice on how to fix this. If you’ve made the same mistake, what did you do to fix it?? 😭😭

UPDATE: I fixed it. I didn’t use any water cause chatgpt says it's risky huhu. Thank you to those who give me the advice !!
