I picked up used 100mm macro (not L) from local Canon dealer and its focus ring is just a bit loose. Turning the focus ring is nice and smooth, just a little play when you start to turn it the other way. Everything else seems to be fine. Should I be worried? It was checked by Canon tech and is supposed to be fine but maybe they just want to get rid of it  .

Yes, Tamron 17-50mm is for crop sensors, Di II in Tamron-speak. Note, just Di lenses are not

Graniteman posted:If that stupid custom function was to enable back button focus you may want to try to get used to it. Many people feel that's a better way to operate a camera. Setting the focus is a separate operation conceptually from setting exposure and triggering the shutter. One of the great tips I picked up from this thread, really like it in some situations. Also great to keep people from messing with your gear when you aren't around  .

If you google you find lists like this where people log what lenses are fine on full frame bodies. IIRC it was bigger problem with original 5D, later bodies had smaller mirrors. But don't quote me on that, I don't have full frame

Laserface posted:I have a Tamron 70-300 that causes my 550D to lock up, but ONLY when shooting between 180-300mm + using high aperture (11+) There are several different 70-200 versions, after renting it a few times I can at least attest that f/2.8L IS II USM is amazing piece of kit that makes you not want to use anything else...

Helen Highwater posted:To be fair, that's a $2700 lens. If you're shooting a 550D as your main body, I doubt that you're looking to drop that much on a single lens.  I've also used the old f/2.8 non-IS, it was also great. Don't have experience with other third-party 70-200 lenses but from my experience with Tamron normal zooms I'd hanestly prefer Canon if possible. F/4 Canon is also pretty light, not 1.5 kg monster like 2.8

Soulex posted:That being said, I'm curious about macro lenses for full frame. I bought a ring flash and want to learn how to take some of those super cool close up photos that I always never seem to be able to recreate. Canon 100 mm macro is great, L version if you want to spend more. 3rd party lenses are cool too, but I'd prefer Canon lenses, easier to attach their macro flashes. Though after using it on crop camera, 1X magnification on FF camera is kinda disappointing... so MP-E 65

Yeah, nothing wrong with that. There are so many options, reversing lens, extension tubes, macro filters... It just comes down to how convenient you want your setup to be. Dialing up whatever magnification with a MP-E 65 is just amazingly simple after loving around with extension tubes. Light is more important anyway, getting nice diffused light from flash is another rabbit hole to follow... Regular 1X macro lens, say 90mm or 100mm, is really great to have though and is useful in all kinds of situations

Big Mackson posted:I got an Zenit-E with an assortment of russian objectives using M42 mount. Would using EF to M42 adapter be okay for an canon 40D? Yes. Just be sure to buy "chipped" adapter that lights up focus points in viewfinder as a ghetto focus assist. E: That is, of course, for adapting M42 to EF!

Events are always, alwaaaays dark, I would def go for f/2.8. And for me, out of the trinity you mention, 70-200 f/2.8 is in my opinion a must have. 24-70 you can fake with cheaper primes but not that one.

Well I'm happy that R6 lets me push ISO to 25600 with files looking about same as m4/3 looked at 6400.

Tech gear reviews in general have gotten almost useless, sometimes you get new interesting person to follow who then eventually also falls into the trap of paid promotion, too afraid to say anything negative. At least cameras are all pretty much amazing these days and more important is the system you buy into and features you might not want to live without anymore.

Oh, I was just making a general comment. I'm sure the R6 II is geat. I'm already really happy with my R6. I absolutely do not want to live anymore without it's tracking/eye AF, it makes shooting events and portraits sooooo painless.

dank glitterqueef posted:Not sure if I can really afford a meaningful upgrade on my budget, but I was hoping to get some advice... Sigma 150-600 mm Contemporary. Less than $800 new and even cheaper used. Terrific lens for the money if you are using DSLR. Not so hot on new RF bodies because of the focus issues but still can work.

Lights posted:Also, I've now had my R6II for about 24 hours and I am absolutely floored at how amazing it is compared to my beloved 6D. The autofocus is SO GOOD. The only issue I've had thus far is that when I threw a flash on, it seemed like something with the exposure compensation broke, because every shot was coming out about 3 stops underexposed, but I wasn't able to adjust EC through any of the controls that I could find. I'm sure there's some combination of settings that adjust that, but I haven't had time just yet to figure out what was going on. Using third-party lens? I have Tamron 35 mm 1.8 that sometimes does this with mk I (and then sometimes works perfectly). Other than that, perhaps flash settings in menu, ambience priority, flash priority etc

Well if R8 had IBIS and little better viewfinder plus some more small stuff then it literally would be R6, no?

Really depends on your shooting habits and work you do. If it's mostly moving people, events, etc it's easy to forget you even want it. Definitely saved my butt on a few occasions though, when I've clicked my 70-200 2.8 IS off by accident and didn't notice until later.

One benefit of mirrorless is that you don't need to review your photos – you already saw it in viewfinder when you captured it. I personally keep rear LCD closed like 99% of time on my R6 and flip it open only when I need low angle or something. This is the biggest user experience change IMO going from DSLR to mirrorless.
