Some ok, others on their last legs.


Great shots! If you enjoy barn photography, each year (except this one , of course) the Frederick County (MD) Historical Society hosts a "Barnstormers Tour." It arranges one day of docent guides and volunteers to show currently operating barns with historical significance in the county. The barns (usually about 9 or 10) are different each year, date back into the 1800s, and occasionally 1 or two are as old as late 1700s. It costs about $20 per person. You get a program describing the barns, along with a map & driving directions. All the barns are within a few miles of each other, so you can see them all in a day. It is usually on the second Saturday in Jun. I've gone the last three years and loved it!!! Last year there was a bonus of three, operational covered bridges also in the immediate area! Hopefully, it will be back again next year! It shouldn't be too far a drive from where you live, and may be worth an overnight trip to enjoy it so you aren't rushed! Here is a link about last year's:

Cool! I was there this summer, but missed (very short) fall.

Simple answer is, yes. I have a 17" PC laptop and it sometimes seems too small.


Ditto... too small. Looking for a 4K monitor.

Also check thickness of step-up rings. Thinner ones allow you to use more joined together and avoid vignetting in the corners longer when you need to use additional step-up rings.

A full frame sensor is 36 mm x 24 mm for an approximate total area 864 sq mm. A Canon crop sensor is approximately 22 mm x 15 mm for an approximate area of 330 sq mm. That means the area of the EOS R full frame sensor covered when using a crop lens would be approx 38.2% of the full sensor, (330/864 x 100) and 38.2% of the 30.3 megapixels of the full sensor would be around 11.6 megapixels, making the EOS R a very expensive 12 megapixel camera for those planning to only use crop lenses.


Thanks for the math and the wisdom. I was trying to use the crop sensor factor (1.6 of focal length) rather than the actual dimensions of each sensor. That does lead me to another question though... If Canon can pack 24 MP in a cropped 15 x 22 mm sensor, it should be able to pack nearly 75 MP in a full sized sensor... Seems like they're sand-bagging their capabilities.

For all... thanks for the terrific insight! It wouldn't make sense to go from 16 MP on my T2 to 12 MP on a FF mirror-less (after cropping) I think I'll press on with my original plan for the D80 and cross the FF bridge when I need to, if ever.

First, the 30MP will drop to approx. 12 in crop mode.....

Second, you physically cannot use EF-S lenses on a full frame Canon DSLR camera.

Third, the mirrorless needs NO micro-adjustments !

Fourth, get the 80D NOW and do not look back .8-)

..

Thanks for the advice on pressing with the 80D, and I stand corrected (by several folks) on the issue of using EF-S on EF mount.

I would like to ask how you calculated 12 MP in crop with an EF-S lens on EOS R and, and why I would not need to do any auto focus micro adjustments with the EOS R, especially if I'm using both an EF-S lens and an adapter? Is there something I'm missing about how AF works in mirrorless vice DSLR with mirror?

First, a little perspective... I'm 67, an amateur (with plans to stay so), still shoot with a Canon T2i. I have limited budget, so I consider upgrading only when I need something I don't have. I've been considering upgrade to 80D primarily to get articulating LCD screen and ability to fine tune focus adjustment of lenses. I missed the Black Friday sale on Canon Refurb site last year, and am waiting to see if it repeats itself this year, or will wait until 90D (or whatever) comes out to upgrade economically. I've thought about going to FF, but that is farther out due mostly to cost of having to replace my EF-S lenses.

Now for the questions...

First, from the videos I've watched, the EOS R is physically capable (with an adapter) of using my EF-S Lenses, however, it avoids the vignetting issue created when using them on current FF DSLR cameras by automatically cropping the image inside the EOS R to a smaller size (presumably about that of APS-C). Does that mean that the 30.1 MP image will be cropped to (about) 18 - 19 MP (30.1/1.6 crop factor), or does it somehow maintain the full MP, but just use a smaller portion of the focused image?

Second, if the EOS R crops, what would be the difference in that and using an EF-S on a FF DSLR (until I can afford to go to EF lenses down the road) and cropping the image myself, in post, to eliminate the vignette?

Finally, has anyone seen whether or not the EOS R can accomplish & save focus micro adjustments for various lenses?

I guess what I'm trying to decide is whether to continue on my planned upgrade path over the next few years, or go ahead and substitute the R instead of a FF DSLR somewhere in my plan? Should I perhaps even eliminate the 80D altogether, and waiting until after the EOS R comes out with a new version to eliminate any bugs or get the original at lower cost so as to be able to use my EF-S lenses without manual cropping in post, until I can get added funds to convert to EF lenses later on?

I appreciate your answers and input!

Finally, I couldn't care less about the video capability of this new camera. I do still photography. I wish Canon would release a video-free version of all its cameras at lower cost for its absence.


AMEN!!!!!

Cool!!! But it would look really cute with a small white flash reflecting umbrella as a shade! (It seems to glare a little.)

I use it only during storage in my pack. If the camera is out to use, the case is in the pack. It is way too bulky to hang from the camera strap, and gets in the way. Also, not conducive to quick draw for shots on the go.

Try again with a side lite (or reflector) on the dark side of the face. To me, looks like that's all you'd need.

I've had the Tamron 18-270... It's a non-issue though since it has a lens lock that works very well.


I have one for a Canon I bought in 2014. Generally I love it. It has a lens lock, but it only locks at the fully retracted (18 mm) position. I assumed it was just for storage. Does yours lock at any focal length?

Maybe mine is older or something?

To the OP... check that our before you decide.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm buying more Adobe stock (but not their products)!
