Uh..... I have both the 1.4 and 2.0 on Canon. Both autofocus. I use each one depending on the situation and how much extra reach and light needed/available. I have also stacked them and maybe it's just my luck - but that autofocus works well also. They are inexpensive if purchased used, and I would try them out before you take advice from incorrect sources. Used, on canon 70-200 IS 2.8, and canon 300 2.8.



I agree! I use a 2x canon extender with my 70-200 f/2.8 II with good results. Auto focus works just fine. I have also used it with the 300 f/2.8 with excellent results.

I used mine to shoot drag racing. My Canon is fast focusing, very sharp and inexpensive. I don’t use it as much since I purchased a 24-70 f/2.8 a few years ago.

Aperture stays the same. 2.8 is 2.8 whether I put my 70-200 on my full frame 1Dx2 or my H crop sensor 1D MkIII. Or my daughters 1.6 crop body. The same amount of light is passing through the lens it is just hitting a larger or smaller sized sensor. If smaller the rest of the light just doesn’t hit the sensor.

DOF example at 15 feet. Of course closer gets less DOF and longer distance gets more DOF...

1.2 can result in some very very shallow depth of field. Especially if shooting sports and athletes up close. I guess I would think about how much I am really going to shoot wide open or nearly so and the shooting distance. A simple DOF app can estimate the DOF.

If you use a tool like Lightroom to manage your photos and don’t delete photos that should give a pretty accurate count. I know the file name number on my Canon resets every 10,000 photos. Your mileage may vary...

I’ll stick with Canon. Their System is broad, deep and gives excellent results.

Have any of you ever been in the software development marketing and sales business. It’s not easy and it’s a different kind of business from most. Software that is the innovative and can sell for a reasonable price becomes a commodity that is expected to be very low or no cost. And then there are the testing and support issues. If you think itis easy to make make money in software then give it a try...

My Gitzo goes high enough for me and I’m 6’2”. I have a Really Right Stuff monopod head on it often and it easily supports my 1Dx2 and a large lens. I got it on eBay in like new condition for $275. If you want to watch and shop there are good deals out there.

I agree about a monopod - but I know of no monopod that goes high enough .....

But, you could extend the height of a monopod or tripod with one of these - https://www.ebay.com/itm/313324245729?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l9372

I was shooting drag racing a couple weeks ago and another Canon shooter offered me the chance to shoot some with his 200-400 f/4. It is a large and fairly heavy lens, but I would definitely like to shoot with one. Interestingly enough he purchased it used from someone who was going mirrorless and decided they didn’t want it anymore.

For me it is simply that my older body, 1D MkIII, is not worth selling for the little money it would bring. I can still shoot it occasionally if I want and it can take nice photos with good light. My philosophy is to have good gear and not very much of it. A high end body and a half dozen lenses will meet my needs the rest of my life most likely.

It might be still, but it is being seen online way ahead of print...

"Folks the overwhelming majority of imagery currently being shared today is generated by Cell Phones"
This would not be true for professional level photography. Show me the photographs that are being sold
commercially that are taken by cell phone. Few and far between. Not many wedding or events
photographers making money shooting on cell phones. Cell phone photography is similar to point and shoot
photography. Suitable for documenting, as you say, "lifestyle reportage photography", but not for
commercial use. Who do you know that is willing to pay $3000 to $5000 for wedding photography shot on a
cell phone?

"A single nine minute Cell video of George Floyd's last moments on earth sparked a revolution in awareness that has shaken the very pillars of our society and that of the entire World. No "Camera" image has ever had such profound consequences."
Not the same thing. Apples and Oranges.

"There is no torch to pass"
Because the topics are not the same.

"Folks get off your computers and continue capturing life's wonderful moments"
Says the person posting a lengthy response.

"This junior high school "Brand" bickering is so petty and juvenile... get a life!"
Surely you realize that in life someone is always claiming theirs is bigger.

"btw, no one gives a rat's butt about Olympic still imagery... it's video folks that pays the bills in that paradigm"
True, video is king, but that is as it should be. It is the imagery that provides the most information. But, to
say no one cares about still imagery is simply a falsehood. Agency would not spend so much money sending
photographers to Japan if no one cared. An example, show me a paper publication (newspaper, magazine)
that can display video. The visual imagery has, is, and until Harry Potter's world comes about, will be still.

There ... that's my two cents.

That is why we must first define camera...

First we would have to define camera. Because most cell phones have cameras and millions more cell phones are sold than any dedicated camera brand we might conclude that the torch indeed has been passed...to the cell phone manufacturers.

I completely agree that stats can mislead. If 100 cameras are sold, and 45 are sold by Manuf A, 20 by manuf B, and 19 sold by manuf C, I fail to see were that is misleading.
