bgelfand Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 nothing in my software reports distance Sandy, do you use Lightroom? If so the Show Focus Points plugin will show distance (at least the distance reported by the lens/camera in the EXIF data) Link: www.lightroomfocuspointsplugin.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen_h Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Looking at some JPEG files in Preview (the OS X program) it looks like Nikon cameras report "focus distance" but Canon cameras don't. Also, as is well known, Nikon reports shutter count but Canon doesn't. -- glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albins images Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Cents? Two perhaps? Irrelevant comparisons perhaps? Allow me... See below: European Robin only 1,5 months ago. D800 with 400/3.5 + TC301 and a little extension, on somewhat wobbly Sirui baseplate on rather sturdy Sirui ballhead and very sturdy old Gitzo 500-series clunker (weakest-link and such...).. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_halliwell Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 European Robin Cute shot! Exposure details? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albins images Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Exposure details? Thanks! ISO1000 1/200sec@f/5.6 at about 3 meters distance.. manual focus, obviously. ...That particular bird is now probably back on it's way to Scandinavia now! (Denmark..Sweden..Norway..):) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodeo_joe1 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Thanks! ISO1000 1/200sec@f/5.6 Sorry to be pedantic, but how do you get an aperture of f/5.6 with an f/3.5 lens fitted with a 2x teleconverter? Do you mean f/11? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the TCs change the data passed through to the computer in the camera, so it knows the real aperture? -- glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_halliwell Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Do the TCs change the data passed through to the computer in the camera, so it knows the real aperture? Yup. EXIF should ID everything correctly. However, if you only work in manual it doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean f/11? :)Don't worry! yes: the lens was set @f/5.6, but the effective aperture was indeed two stops darker.. And to me it was just a reminder that I should do this more often! even though it's always a hassle, bringing the heavy tripod and big old lens.
