For those who saw my original post on getting my hand caught in an electric car window -- Why don't car windows have a safety feedback mechanism? (gross picture warning) -- I offer this update. Just after I saw the hand specialist (orthopedics), he went on vacation. My next visit was to his...

The RX10 Mk4 is the "big camera" and the G12 is the little camera -- got it? The Mk4 ticks all the boxes on my great camera list, except small. Small it isn't. So a lot of times when I'm rattling out the door for an errand, I grab the little camera . . . "just in case." That's what I did...

Here are some images taken with the CL and a Canon 50mm f3.5 Macro FD. None are cropped. Nice cheap alternative for macro with the CL. BTW, does anyone know what that first token with the angel might be for?

Here are some images taken with the CL and a Canon 50mm f3.5 Macro FD. None are cropped. Nice cheap alternative for macro with the CL. The proof set of coins are encased in a plastic box. I shot em through the plastic. the token/medallion and the other coins were captured without plastic or...

Took a walk in the neighborhood and obeyed the dictum: take a camera (Canon G12) everywhere and see what happens. Euclid Ave. terminates in a dead end. As we turned around to head back, we spotted this: Here's the cropped version: Another: Cropped: Another: Cropped: Cropped...

Judging by the preannouncement by Canon, the upcoming EOS R5 is looking to be a big player. https://www.dpreview.com/news/8022128608/canon-announces-development-of-eos-r5-with-8k-video-and-20fps-shooting I don't always see eye to eye with Canon wrt their lenses but I have to recognize their...

I have a Canon 50mm F1.4 and it is very sharp, good focus. Great up close (has been adjusted by van Maanen Zoetermeer, nl). Now the close focus distance is 1.00 m. Not very practical, I mean, it leaves a lot to wish for. Could it be possible to 'hack' this lens and take out a bit of internal...

This is a rare lens, made from 1/1961 to 6/1961 and sold only in Japan. According to Peter Kitchingman's authoritative book, serial numbers ran from 10000 to 13381. This is the 89th lens produced, and is in beautiful condition. Glass is near perfect, focus is smooth, and there is no play in the...

Now I know why this lens is claimed to be the sharpest of the Canon 50's in Leica Mount. It is. The 50mm F1.8 Serenar was introduced in 1951, replaced the 50mm F1.9 Serenar. The 50/1.8 Serenar is much sharper than the older F1.9. The Black version is a new lens, even though it retains the same...

Earlier this year Canon announced their "Canon IVY Cliq" printers and now they're expanding the "Canon IVY" product line with the "Canon IVY REC", a small camera meant for outdoor use. The new IVY REC is a about the size of a large USB memory stick and is stripped down to the bare minimum with...

Canon has announced the release of the EOS M200 camera, the successor to their EOS M100 mirrorless offering in 2017. https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/about/newsroom/press-releases/press-release-details/2019/20190925-eos/20190925-eos Adoram has it available for pre-order with...

This comparison is based on only one photo shot on each camera as I'm crazy busy these days, as much as I could to make a fair comparison regarding the 3D pop, the vibe, the micro contrast or tonality as some may call it, I believed the lower density, bigger pixels helps to make more vibrant...

TL;DR, $60 for a used Canon 40D in good condition with 2 batteries, a charger and a vertical grip. It's not like anyone would want to buy this thing in 2019 anyway but here's the thoughts behind it. A few days ago when I was searching on the topic of micro contrast, which was talking all about...

In the "everyone has a Fuji now" thread it came up that I, along with some others, had no idea just how popular the Fuji Instax cameras were. Driving home the point even more Canon is now getting into the "lifestyle product" market with the Ivy Cliq. New Canon IVY CLIQ+ and CLIQ Instant...

In December, 2010, I purchased a Canon G12. It effectively supplanted an Olympus D-550 (which I still have and still works) that I used professionally (no kidding) for several years. (I used the 550 to shoot pictures to illustrate my stories, for which I was paid.) The G12 served as my...

Found this Youtube video. thought it interesting. They tested the eye/face detect functions of the following cameras: Canon EOS R, Fuji X-T3, Nikon Z6, Sony a9, Sony a7 III and Sony a6400 It is 20 minutes long, but if you scroll through the timeline bar, you'll see the thumbnails fear each...

I realised there isn't an image thread for the EOS M50, so instead of limiting the subject to the 32 1.4 lens, we shall welcome all photos shot with the EOS M50 in this thread. Please start posting. I've made my switch from Fuji X to EOS M this month, and knowing Canon hasn't been everyone's...

I found out last night that the EOS M50 needs horizontal contrast to focus on, it can't focus on purely horizontal straight lines.

So, I go for a walk downtown in the small Oregon town where I live, walking down to the Post Office to mail a letter. And just before I get there, I see...an amazing old car. Parked by an old house. Not going anywhere. In Mexico, traditionally, instead of celebrating Halloween, or All-Saints...

This is a 40/1.9 lens point and shoot camera from the 80's. Here is one of the shots from the first roll I have shot with it. Film is Kodak TMax 100 and a yellow filter. Not bad I'd say for a loud 80's camera :).

I'm thinking of getting a Canon FF as a back-up to my m43 system (kind of reversed, I know). I have a Sony a7, and am deciding between that or a 6D. The reason for considering Canon is I need a 70-200/2.8, and the Canon is $1,000 less. So there's that. But of course, I'd lose all the mirrorless...

Most of my G5X images are going on the SIJ18 threads. I'll post some others here.
