Yep. The 5D3 has done something similar in the last 12 months.

For as little time I spend actually using my gear, I might as well start buying broken stuff. I'd hardly be able to tell the difference.

So if you're using the camera's focus confirmation on a chipped manual lens, would there actually be value in doing a focus calibration at that point?

Did you guys break the releases on your 5D3 eyecup or something? You should have to pinch both sides to get it to slide off. Mine has little give and I have no fears about losing it accidentally.

Canon announced the EF-S 55-250 STM today. Evidence suggests that their plan for EF-S for the next few years is just refresh every lens with STM and call it a day.

I learned with my 20D to make an image of the CD as soon as I received it, and then put it back in the box. I've done the same with my 7D and 5DIII, though I haven't actually installed the software in years.

There's a new OS X Canon-compatible shutter count app on the Mac App Store for $1.99. Assuming it is updated as new models come out, it beats paying EOSCount multiple times.

So let's see: I think that's about 1% of the 5D III's rated shutter life, so I'll need to get the shutter repaired in about 100 years.  1st AD posted:Jesus christ man, why even buy something if you're not going to use it?

1st AD posted:Are you just a hobbyist or what? Star War Sex Parrot posted:No I'm just overpaid, not married yet, and I switched expensive hobbies from PC gaming to photography a few years back since L-glass holds its value a hell of a lot more than a video card that gets replaced in the market every 6 months. I don't end up with much time for hobbies anyway right now since I work ~50 hours a week and go to school full-time, but that won't stop me from buying toys. If it wasn't camera gear, it would probably be cars or something. At least my more artistically gifted friends get to borrow nice gear. I also frequently unload stuff at Crazy Gideon prices on SA-Mart, so I guess the community benefits.

drat near every refurbished lens is in stock right now: http://shop.usa.canon.com/shop/en/catalog/lenses-flashes/ProductListingViewAll_10051_10051_-1_244768 Oddly enough, they de-list some when they're out of stock rather than listing it and showing the grayed out "Add to cart" button. I've never understood that. The TS-E 24mm II is notably absent. I think they remove some during sale events.

Canon refurbished is doing a Cyber Monday sale and some of the prices are nuts. The TS-E 24mm II for $1495 is already gone, as are the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L II for $1699 and 5D III for $2719. Who knows if they'll refresh any stock today, but it's worth keeping an eye on. Star War Sex Parrot fucked around with this message at 19:35 on Dec 2, 2013 |

Canon Japan announced the EOS M2. http://www.the-digital-picture.com/News/News-Post.aspx?News=8484 It's a bit smaller, adds Wi-Fi, and is a bit faster in both burst rate and AF speed. Also there's no word of a US release. Star War Sex Parrot fucked around with this message at 18:02 on Dec 3, 2013 |

You guys are really making me reconsider posting my 17-40 f/4L in the gear thread. I was all set to put it up for sale this week since I never use it, but now I'm back to wondering if it doesn't hurt to just leave a wide-angle in my bag.

Mathturbator posted:How do you cope with the fact that you can't see the red AF confirnation blinks in daylight? Me, I've enabled the beep confirmation, so I sound like it's babby's first camera. edit: I suppose that snarky answer needs a bit of expansion. I've not had issues with AF confirmation visibility in daylight because my 5D III is always in AI Servo. If I switch to manual focus for a set shot (landscape, stars, product photography, etc.) then I'll just use Live View by zooming in on the area I want in focus. The viewfinder never factors into the equation for focus confirmation -- just framing. Star War Sex Parrot fucked around with this message at 07:47 on Jan 2, 2014 |
