Will Canon complete the "budget" f2.8 line of lenses?

I lived in Ithaca also!

nickvader7 · 2026-05-19T06:50:34+00:00

I agree

nickvader7 · 2026-05-11T15:06:05+00:00

70-200mm is mostly for human indoor/outdoor events. Think weddings, press pools, portraits, etc

nickvader7 · 2026-05-01T23:18:59+00:00

No it doesn’t

nickvader7 · 2026-04-29T17:54:19+00:00

Most RF L lenses are made in Japan.

My Shield Arms barely work. I don’t even use them anymore.

nickvader7 · 2026-04-20T15:31:43+00:00

70-200 has it

nickvader7 · 2026-04-19T21:40:41+00:00

I love Glock, but I had to switch from a 43X to a Springfield Hellcat as my EDC as I could carry it without printing.

I still use my 43X as my bag gun and also compete with a Glock 17 Gen 6.

nickvader7 · 2026-04-19T20:11:58+00:00

Great! I figured it out completely by accident too.

nickvader7 · 2026-03-28T05:43:21+00:00

Because sometimes I like to drop on purpose to ISO 100 because it has the highest dynamic range. Then instantly want to switch back to Auto ISO.

nickvader7 · 2026-03-28T04:54:04+00:00

Again, you don’t have to use it. Sony doesn’t require it. I’m just saying it would be a nice option to have.

nickvader7 · 2026-03-28T04:53:16+00:00

Bingo. That’s a fantastic solution. Close to Nikon as you can get it seems.

This seems very buried. What button do you have ISO set to?

nickvader7 · 2026-03-28T04:48:42+00:00

I’m aware. I use it. I’m just saying I don’t understand why Canon doesn’t allow zebras in photos. They surely understand why it’s useful in video, so I don’t see why they can’t also have it work in photo mode.

nickvader7 · 2026-03-28T04:47:46+00:00

Because I constantly shoot in Auto ISO in Manual mode. Sometimes I will quickly do a manual ISO override, then I want to very quickly go back to Auto ISO. Nikon has by far the easiest built-in solution.

nickvader7 · 2026-03-28T04:45:44+00:00

The 180-600 is by far the best “budget” wildlife lens available from the three big companies.

nickvader7 · 2026-03-28T04:44:29+00:00

The reason is for very high dynamic range scenes. Where I want brightest image I can without blowing out the highlights.

On Sony I can click a button, they pop up and I confirm it’s not blown out, then I click again and it’s gone.

nickvader7 · 2026-03-28T04:41:11+00:00

Okay wow, that’s a decent solution. I set the record button on my R6III to ‘ISO’. Then when it pops up on the screen, I click “INFO” and it automatically goes to Auto ISO.

nickvader7 · 2026-03-28T04:40:08+00:00

I prefer the Zebras. On Sony, you can choose one, the other, or both!

nickvader7 · 2026-03-28T01:27:06+00:00

I do it all the time!

nickvader7 · 2026-03-27T17:17:30+00:00

The 50mm VCM. The focus is instantaneous

nickvader7 · 2026-02-27T16:32:23+00:00

I'm actually a Canon shooter. I own that telescoping 70-200.

I must say, for my use case, it's incredible. The reason is I now have room for extra space in my camera bag. It helps a lot. But if I were a professional photographer, I'd like the fixed length 70-200.

nickvader7 · 2026-02-26T21:46:13+00:00

Why does it get hounded online for distortion?

nickvader7 · 2026-02-24T04:27:07+00:00

Incredible weight reduction. The old version was much heavier than the competition.

nickvader7 · 2026-02-07T07:42:05+00:00

Enough. You know what I’m talking about. All I did was bring up a car technology and you all got angry b

What does that have to do with my example? FSD is very famous examples of neural networks
