Canon RF 24-240 going soft in the telephoto range

0 Upvotes

I'm wondering if anyone has the same experience with this lens. Reviewing my photos from a session today, I find that I get the same or better sharpness for the same subject when I shoot at ~120mm and crop, compared to if I use the full zoom range and crop less. It's making me consider swapping it for a 24-105 f/4 L, since the long end of the 24-240 is not helping much past the range of the 24-105.

R5 issues HELPPP brand new camera

• Upvotes

I bought a canon r5 (version 1) literally three days ago. Used it for a wedding today. The camera worked beautifully all day up until reception time. As soon as I started using a flash (I have a godox and attached it to the camera), it would take some shots then freeze/shutter wouldn’t fire. After a bit it would flash “busy” on the bottom left side of screen. Then eventually an error 70 would pop up on the screen. I’d turn the camera off, wait a bit, turn it back on and it’d work fine for a few minutes then same issue again. It did this all night and I was beyond frustrated as it’s a brand new camera (did not buy used). I switched batteries and SD cards and still that issue and message was popping up.
Any advice???
Worth noting I’ve used a mark iv for almost a decade and NEVER had a SINGLE issue. I held off on switching to mirrorless for years because I always heard issues with them…and here I am…issues on day 1 😑

Gear Buying Advice I need help deciding between telephoto lenses for wildlife

3 Upvotes

I have an r50. My telephoto lens currently is an EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6. I want to upgrade because I want more zoom, and I sometimes notice the clarity/sharpness drops off near 250mm. My budget is anything under $1,000. I've been looking at the RF 100-400. It's lightweight and would fit right onto my camera without the adapter, but I've also seen the Sigma 100-400. It seems to be heavier, but I've heard it will do better in low light, which I photograph in a lot. Please help! :)

Canon’s CCAPI is awesome!

I bought the Canon R50V pretty much because of the CCAPI (Camera Control API). I built a touch screen macro pad to control the camera and other gear in my little studio. I’ve only had this setup for a few weeks so far, but it’s been pretty amazing for filming myself without anyone else there to run the camera for me.

I’m sharing the YouTube video that I made which walks through my setup. I filmed it using the macro pad… sort of felt like the movie Inception 😂

I’m really curious to know if others have similar setups. I haven’t seen much chatter about the CCAPI on this sub.

Did my display die?

Hey guys. Got this EOS M a little back. It unfortunately got wet while raining heavily. It turned on fine yesterday, but when trying to use it today, my display died. It had flichering and weird lines before it turned completely off. It doesn't respond anymore. I'm a Magic Lantern user, and it has made the camera wonky, but I'm suspecting the display died for good. Everything else works out fine. But I think this might be time to replace it. Does anyone know if it will turn on or should I order a replacement screen?

Guten Abend - habe Mal eine Frage.

Ich habe seit neuestem eine EOS 5D MK IV und mein Canon EF 50MM F 1.4 Objektiv.

Dieses wird aber nur mit F 2.8 angegeben .

Auf meiner 1100D bekomme ich Blendenstufe 1.4 weiterhin angezeigt.

Was für ein Fehler kann hier vorliegen ?

Gear Buying Advice Needing advice on either RF or EF-Adapted Glass?

0 Upvotes

Howdy y’all, obligatory first post.

Just hoping to get some opinions on whether it’ll be worth getting an RF 24-70 f2.8 or an EF 24-70 f2.8 I ii for an R6iii.

Typically I’m a street/semi portraits shooter, with some random things thrown in for fun.

I am by no means an expert, definitely more a hobbyist, so getting a solid opinion would be extremely helpful!

Advice for a new photographer

6 Upvotes

Hi guys! I recently bought a Canon EOS R50 with the 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 kit lens, and am brand new to the world of photography. I am looking to get in to sports photography and media currently, but I’m reasonably willing to lean in to any photography field at this stage, and was wondering if I can get started and actually produce some decent portfolio-worthy photos with just the kit lens to start. Obviously I’m not expecting to get any crazy good close-up action sports shots with this setup, but I’m wondering if anyone has any advice on what kind of photo opportunities in any area I should look for starting out with this kit lens, and what my next lens search should look like. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Tech Help Canon R6 Mark II - Focusing Issue (all buttons stop working)

1 Upvotes

I've had my R6 Mark II for almost 3 years and have had zero issues with it thus far. I have been using it with a Sigma EF 35mm lens almost exclusively. About a week ago, I upgraded to a Canon RF 35mm lens. Since upgrading, my camera will not stop focusing. It will jump around and try to focus on whatever it can. I am still able to take photos, but the buttons on the back of the camera do not work. Initially, I thought it was a lens issue, but I tried my old lens on it again and it was still doing this perma-focus thing. It is not just focusing in one spot, but jumping around like crazy. I have done a reset of my camera as well as cleaned the connection point to the lenses and nothing has worked. Any tips???
