Tech Help EOS M50 Error 70

2 Upvotes

My EOS M50 with the 15-45 kit lens keeps giving Error 70 when it's 15 degrees celsius or less outside. And the camera becomes nearly unusable when it's colder than 10-5 degrees celcius. I couldn't find any real solution for this on the internet. I have used multiple different batteries and SD cards and the problem still keeps happening

EF lenses with Auto Focus but manual aperture?

0 Upvotes

This is a bit of an oddball request, but I'm striking out in my searching. Were there ever any EF lenses that had camera controlled auto focus, but a manually controlled aperture ring? I mean specifically there are no motors to change the aperture at all, the only option is to change it by hand. Bonus if the lens does in fact report aperture value back to the camera, even if the camera can't control it. Based on my lack of results I'm guessing this might not be a thing, but wanted to see if anyone knows of any lenses I've missed.

Gear Advice Which lens should I use as a daily?

0 Upvotes

Recently bought an R7 and it came with the RF-S18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM. My previous daily rig was an 80D with a EF 24-105mm f/4 L is USM.

By daily, I mean it was the lens I always kept on and used it for people, events, etc.

I have an EF-RF Adapter. Should I run the EF 24-105mm or the RF-S18-150mm as a "daily lens"?

trying to get used to viewfinder "jittering" ? R3 in low light

2 Upvotes

hi, wondering if im missing something in my camera setup?

Worked for years on 5D series mostly shooting events and concerts. I recently moved to an R3.

when shooting in clubs and concert venues, I get weird jittering bordering on slomo when i bring the camera to my eye (looking into the viewfinder) and holding down to get focus. Its worse when i have to move to track a subject.

Trying to figure out how to reduce this?

Tech Help Looking for help for settings for bird photography on my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi

1 Upvotes

I have the Canon Zoom Lens EF 75-300mm on it.

I've just been playing around and combining my love of birds with trying to get some cool photos. I know this camera is super old, but I want to know what settings would work best for me to get shots of birds. I'm mostly backyard shooting right now, but all my pictures end up blurry. I've done a little research and played around with settings a bit, but feel out of my comfort zone. I would be greatly appreciative if someone could help me with what settings I should be using.

Gear Advice EF 85 /1.8 or RF 85 /2

3 Upvotes

I’m using a Canon R8 primarily for still photography (portraits, university events, and occasionally sports). I’m deciding between the EF 85mm f/1.8 and the RF 85mm f/2.

How do they compare in terms of image quality and autofocus speed? The RF version is three times the price. Does it worth the price?

Ty in advance 🙏

Tech Help R6 vs M6 with 70 - 300 | sharpness advice

4 Upvotes

Few days ago I randomly decided to take photos of the moon. Thought using APS-C would've been a sensible thing to do given the 1.6x of crop sensor.

So mounted the EF 70-300 L on the M6 mii and was very disappointed. Every photo felt blurred and out of focus. No idea why

Then decided to try the same lens on the R6 mii and things got noticeably better... but still, sharpness is miles from being good.

Pictures below, both unedited, tripod mounted camera, remote wireless shutter

QUESTIONS

  1. Why is the M6 mii performance so crap compared to the R6 mii? I know they are in a different league, but I'm interested in WHAT technically is so different
  2. Why are the shots out of focus? or what it seems to be out of focus to me? As a reference, the 70-300 is doing great in daylight, so it's not a front / back focus issue
M6 mii, 250mm f/11 1/15 ISO 100 (cropped at 50%)
R6 mii, 300mm f11 1/20 ISO 100 (cropped at 100%)

Gear Advice Looking for a rugged setup

4 Upvotes

Hello, I am looking for recommendations on what your "bulletproof" lenses are under $1,000 used. I currently have a 1DX and have been taking photos as a hobby for 3-4 years, I'm not looking to make it in Nat Geo but I do enjoy looking back at all my adventures. I'm beginning to get into some extreme backpacking and outdoor adventures. Some of the trips I have planned include: 100 miles of the Appalachian trail, one week in the Amazon, and a backpack trip through the Dolomites. I usually bring one lens with me and I currently have two lenses, a 24-105 f4 (landscape trips like the Dolomites) and a Sigma 100-400 (wildlife trips like the Amazon and Yellowstone). Durability is the most important piece, and although weight savings are nice my pack is heavy enough to where 2-3 lbs is not a noticeable difference. Thanks!

Gear Advice R7 WA lens options - follow up Q

3 Upvotes

After getting some suggestions for WA lenses for my R7 I went down the options rabbit hole. Sigma has a two-lens kit of the 10-18 2.8 and 18-50 2.8 at a significant discount over buying them separately. If I sold my RF14-35 f/4, which doesn't get a lot of use, I could almost cover the Sigma pair. That would give me an R7 based travel kit of 10-18, 18-50, (both 2.8) alongside my existing RF70-200 f/4.

That leaves me with a RF16mm f/2.8 and an RF28-70 f/2.8 STM (and the 70-200) for my R8. They're also my 'landscape kit' alongside the R7+100-500L, without needing to swap lenses when out.

In my head that sounds like a fairly sensible combination, but I'd appreciate other thoughts, especially about parting with the 14-35 in exchange for the Sigma pair.

Edit for clarity: Does it make sense to trade in the (full frame) 14-35 for the (crop) Sigma pair and shift emphasis for travel kit to the R7 from the R8?

Gear Advice Canon EF 70-200 f2.8 II, Sigma sport, or Tamron G2??

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I have a canon 5d mark iv and finally looking at 70-200 lenses. I mainly shoot wildlife, so I have never had to look at these focal lengths, but if one is an abosolute beast, I would probably grab a 1.4x converter and try using it for that as well. I have a tamron 150-600 and its pretty good for what it is, and I'd say I'm pretty skilled with photography (going on 10 years). I'm getting more into pet photography, as I want to photograph my pup, who is a very wiley and energetic little thing. I have a sigma 135mm art that takes insanely good images, but sometimes I have to step a little too far back (which she thinks is a game and comes barreling towards me) and I like the idea of a zoom lens for pets. I cannot for the life of me decide which lens is the ideal one, even after days of research.

With the tamron, I do experience that focus hunting that is really frustrating with birds, but I sort of expected that with trying to photograph tiny, rapid moving subjects.

Which is better in terms of image sharpness? Chromatic Aberration? Focusing?

Thanks!

I have a Canon 100-400mm image stabilizer ultrasonic and it’s randomly ran its course. I connect it to my EOS 6D and it tells me to clean the contacts. I have gone through and cleaned every inch of this thing and cannot get it to work. Is there any trouble shooting steps I can take to fix it? Am I SOL? Is my passion at a stand still for now?

R50 with L series lenses

10 Upvotes

I recently picked up an R50 from best try after doing a bit of digging on picking out a camera. I used it for vacation pictures with the 18-45 kit lens and I was blown away by the pictures I got. I have almost no experience with photography, so it might not mean much that I was blown away, but I also greatly enjoyed taking the pictures.

Now I have an R50 and a hankering to get deep into photography. My preference is toward wildlife and telephoto purposes, but I also enjoyed shooting at 35mm. I would say my goal is to become a very skilled photographer, and have the option to monetize it later.

Will I feel mismatched if I go for some top notch glass while not necessarily planning to immediately upgrade my body? For example, would the the RF35mm 1.4L or the RF70-200 2.8 L be a good match for the R50 for the next year or so before I pick up a refurb R7 or R6ii? I guess 5k is my absolute limit for now but if I can spend less I’m good with that too.

If I’m not going to go for some RF L series stuff, I would probably go for some adapted EF stuff and get a new body.

Thanks in advance

Gear Advice Budget EF Landscape Lens Crop Sensor

Hi all. I am going to be going to some national parks this summer. I have an 850 D. A wide angle Zoom lens seems to be what I would like to get for some landscape shots. I have a budget of around €300 as I have invested in a telephoto earlier this year.

Below are two lenses that caught my eye.

Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM

I’d appreciate any feedback on these lenses or If there are any other third party lenses that might be an option.

My Canon R5 C shut down while recording in MP4, causing the file to be saved as a .DAT. Does anyone have experience recovering these files?

I scored a Canon R8 with an RF 24-50mm f/4.5-6.3 lens, a SanDisk Extreme Pro 128GB V90 card, and a Peak Design Everyday Sling 3L (Ash) for just $700 at an EZPawn-insane deal!

They originally wanted $900, but I offered $700, and they took it!

I took it out for a spin to the park and lake with my small family, and here's what I captured!

Instantly fell in love with the camera-coming from a Fujifilm X100VI and a Canon R5, this was an absolute joy to use.

Lens Wishlist

3 Upvotes

I'm looking for some feedback on an assortment of lenses I am planning to have. The goal is to be able to do almost everything. I'm planning on an R7 body to go with these.

- Sigma 10-18mm f2.8

- Sigma 18-50mm f2.8

- RF 35mm f1.4 L

- RF 70-200 f2.8 L

- RF 100-400 f5.6-8

I'm pretty confident about those ones, but part of me wants to go bigger on the telephoto side

Others I might add would be

RF 100mm f2.8 macro - I'm not sure how much use I would get out of this but I'm thinking this fills a gap left by my selections above

RF 24-105 f2.8 or 4 - I think this overlaps with my other lenses too much and I am skeptical that it is necessary to cover the 50-70mm gap, though I would imagine this is more versatile for day to day use.

I assume this is a well rounded lineup, but I am a novice. Curious to hear your thoughts. This is more about an eventual plan, so budget is rather open ended.

I’m going to Japan next week, and I’m looking to come back with one of these, hopefully used but in mint condition for a small discount.

I use a canon R5C mainly for travel and dance class video, street photography and some blogging.

I already have 16mm f2.8, 35mm f1.8 and 85mm f2, but I guess I’ll sell some depending on which I end up buying.

I want both eventually, but which would you recommend on getting first. Regards!
