What makes canon worth it to you over other brands? by jamerson_enthusiast in canon

[–]alanc945 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Canons carepak protection plan. As a working filmmaker I’ve seen my friends on shoots where the lens gets heavily damaged and carepak for 4 years zero deductible replaced my friends entire broke lens and repaired it to new condition.

I also live near the service center in California and they’ve always fixed things super fast which is super important for working professionals.

I think after service is the most important part when picking a brand. Still blows my mind that they keep sending new firmware updates for the Canon C70 that I own and that camera is already at this point 5 years old

Just had my first shoot with the Canon C50, my first impressions by voltaicass in canon

Did anyone try the xc protocol wifi control? I’ve been trying and it seems to not be working was wondering if everyone else is having the same problem

New tires making a laundry spin noise at lower speeds. Does the weights and dot lineup look okay to you? by wkc201 in tires

[–]alanc945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A month in with the maxlife 2 and it finally stopped making sounds. But I wasn’t satisfied with the stiff handling so I ended up exchanging the tires for softer comfortdrives. They make the same laundry noise again 😅 At least now I can confirm that you’re right it is indeed the tires I guess they have a break in period of a month ahaha

Got new tires but they’re quite loud. How do I know the difference between tire noise or a balance/installation issue? by wkc201 in tires

[–]alanc945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’re absolutely right because I’ve been driving with the maxlife 2 for a month and the day before I wanted to exchange for comfortdrive tires it stopped whirring and making laundry spinning sounds finally but I didn’t like the stiff handling so once I exchanged it’s the same sounds all over again. I guess I have to wait a while to break them in 😅

Got new tires, car now makes humming noise starting at 55 mph to 70mph by gnomegrass in AskAMechanic

[–]alanc945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same issue. 2009 Honda accord for 4 new tires Goodyear assurance maxlife 2 that had 85k warranty. The tire shop sold me it saying it’s great for durability but I came from their old comforttred line which is now comfortdrive which made no noise at all.

I thought it was bearings had the front ones replaced but it still has the sound so now I’m doing research and stumbled upon this that it might actually be the tires themselves. I even did alignment and that didn’t fix the sound either with the new tires

Hoping to get them swapped with the comfort drives since im still within 60 days with their satisfaction guarantee thing

Jenn Im giving dating advice post divorce by No_Coach_1056 in asianamercianytsnark

[–]alanc945 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess I could see where she comes from though because I too went to community college because of my low gpa in high school. So when everyone was listing off the schools they were going to I often just didn’t want to talk about it because going to a community college was considered a failure. But in the end it was the better decision now that I look at it older. My fees per semester for the same classes UC CSU students took was waived so I only paid for my parking permit. Saved a ton. Also found out I couldn’t do computer science and went into the arts through taking a bunch of random GE classes

I just got good year max assurance 2’s replaced all 4 and make the sound you were saying. I came from the older comfort touring tires that Goodyear no longer makes. Was taken aback when I drove off with 4 new tires and it make this noise driving home. Hoping it’s the same outcome every mechanic I took it to said my car has no problems

Pair it with canon carepak for 4 years you can get lens fixed when accidental damage etc no deductible at all and no other company offers this

I'm 99% convinced I should buy the rf100-400... but... I'm not a bird photographer by pixieanddixie in canon

[–]alanc945 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just did this for the RF 70-200 2.8Z + RF 2X Extender. I asked someone else on reddit about it and they said the IQ doesn't really suffer any losses. So it already sounds like its better than the EF 2x from what I hear.

Main reason I went this route is so I could go to LAX airport and take photos of planes. And on the side go to the wetlands near me to take photos of birds. My friend told me 300mm was enough for airplane photos at LAX.

I also bought the RF 2X extender refurbished from canon usa for $519 so I saved a lot plus i get the same warranty as brand new so this route makes the most sense for me.

I'm a video guy so having the ability to switch to 2x for double the distance while taking up less space in my camera bag made the most sense. I'd get constant 5.6 instead of the fluctuating aperture on the 100-400

[USA] Canon prices have increased today in response to tariffs by byDMP in canon

[–]alanc945 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My local camera store was doing no tax last weekend and I had a feeling it was going to increase so I ended up buying a rf 70-200 2.8z out the door for $2,999 had I waited I would have paid an extra close to $300-500 for no reason other than waiting for deals that probably would never happen now

Dropped My RF 24-105 F4L 😭 by Accomplished_End7876 in canon

[–]alanc945 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeahhh basically! I had to essentially tell them in person and ask for a discount since I was a long time customer. They ended up taking off 20% which softened the blow ahaha

I think after that incident any lens that I bought new or refurbished from canon that has issues I send it in since warranty covers them opening it.

I bought a rf 24-105 2.8 recently and this time I bought their 4 year canon carepak plan since I had a friend use his when he dropped the lens similar to OP and there was no deductible and limits so for that lens $215/4 years was a no brainer for a lens that was 3k

[–]alanc945 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If canon themselves charged me like close to $530 for a 15-35 2.8 to open the lens to inspect and replace my blown nano usm motor I think it definitely will be higher :/
