On my EOS R I have DOF preview assigned to the top button with a red dot, and if I hold it down while doing manual focus the focus works. However, the manual focus indicators do not work, so I have to zoom in and focus while holding down the DOF preview. This works in live view, or by zooming in while looking through the viewfinder.

I am using the Canon TS-E 24mm, 50mm and 90mm lenses on my EOS R with the EF lens adapter, and have had no problems. And the focus assist feature of the EOS R works great with the TS-E lenses!

I am the original owner of this USA Canon 17mm TS-E lens. The lens shows signs of wear in the area around the lens movements, but the movements are solid, and the glass is clean (see photos). Sale also includes a Lee Filter Adapter Ring which allows for use of the Lee foundation kit holder. Adapter enables the use of 4x4 filters and the 105mm circular polarizer, but movement is limited to about 50% before vignetting occurs. Sale includes original box, lens caps, lens bag, CD and papers.

I am the original owner, and sale includes original box, lens caps, hood, lens bag and papers. Sale also includes a Kirk Arca Swiss style quick release lens foot.

<p>Hello,<br>

Do any of you have any experience with the Photo.net camera insurance provided through Willis Insurance? I am specifically interested in responses from members that have had claims, and whether those claims have been settled to your satisfaction, but would also like to learn of any other positive or negative experiences.</p>

<p>Thanks, Mary</p>

<p> </p>

<p>In my opinion Canon should provide a tripod collar with the 100mm macro. Of course, you don't need a tripod collar on such a short lens to support the weight, but a tripod collar is a great asset when using macro lenses, as you can change the camera orientation without repositioning the camera on your tripod. The last thing I want to do after achieving the proper positioning on a macro subject is to tear down my set-up so I can switch from portrait to landscape orientation or vice verse. </p>

 

<p>I have listed the camera for sale in the classified section of this site.</p>

<p>Yes, you have to register on the site. I did that, but you cannot view the For Sale forum until you have been a member for 30 or more days. </p>

<p>Louie, thanks for the info about the serial number. I located the number, and it is 1292. From what I've been found, this camera was made by Zone VI between 1988 and 2001, but that is all the information I have been able to gather. </p>

<p>I agree that including the serial number with the ad should be done. And your suggestion to offer the entire kit as a package is food for thought, although I would still consider selling the tripod separately.</p>

 

<p>Thanks to all of you for your timely responses.<br>

I gather from your remarks that it might be better to sell the camera, case and accessories separate from the lens, and I will discuss your responses with my friend to see how he wishes to proceed from here. <br>

This is a beautiful camera, and I'd be tempted to purchase it myself if I lived in an area more suited to the great landscape.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hello,<br>

A friend has a lightly used Zone VI 4x5 camera with a Symmar-S 210mm 5.6 lens by Schneider Kreuznach. He has the original bag, 6 filter holders in their original boxes, and the focusing cloth. He also has a Zone VI wooden tripod with Bogan head w/quick release plate. All of the movements seem to work fine, and the bellow appears to be in good shape.<br>

He asked me to photograph the camera for him, as he would like to sell it, so I took a number of photos, and I have posted them in the Zone VI folder here: <a href="../photos/MaryKonchar">http://www.photo.net/photos/MaryKonchar</a><br>

Now he has asked me how much he should ask for the camera, and I don’t know what to tell him, as I don’t have any experience with large format cameras. I asked at the local camera shop, and they said it probably isn’t worth much, but I see they are going from $400-1400 and more on ebay. The camera shop advised me to sell the tripod separate from the camera, and that sounded like good advice.<br>

Bottom line is that I’m looking for a little guidance from some of you large format experts, and I’d appreciate any suggestions you may have. I think he wants to offer it for sale on ebay, so I guess what I really need to know is how much a reasonable reserve price would be?<br>

Thanks, Mary</p>

<p>The inability to auto focus at f8 will be a deal killer for many wildlife/bird photographers. This alone almost makes the 800mm 5.6 lens obsolete in the bird photography market, as you can get more reach from the 600mm f4 w/1.4 TC attached. There may be a small reduction of image quality when comparing the 600mm with TC to the straight 800mm, but I believe the difference would be very small.</p>

<p>When making tedious adjustments while shooting macro subjects, the ring attachment is quite desirable. It can't be beat for changing orientation from portrait to landscape, or anywhere in between. And it allows for some creative movement such as rotating the camera evenly during a long exposure. And if you use Arca style QR plates, you even have a mini manual focus rail built into the mount -- just loosen the mount and slide the lens forward or backward. Just be sure that you don't move the lens too far or forget to tighten the mount before you resume shooting.</p>

<p>Another plus for using the ring attachment is that the outfit will be better balanced when using extension tubes and/or teleconverters, as well as the previously mentioned ring type flash.</p>

<p>At the very least, I would want to have an l-bracket on my camera body in order to change from landscape to portrait without having to redo my whole setup.</p>

<p>This is all based on working with the camera mounted on a tripod, of course.</p>

 

<p>I don't believe you will be able to use hi-speed flash sync with the popup flash triggering the 580EX II.</p>

<p>I will call 2filter when they are open on Monday -- haven't heard of them before now.</p>

<p>Is the Cokin Z-Pro Holder less likely to cause vignetting than the Lee holder if using the Lee slim filter adapter? I have been using the Lee Grad ND system for some time, and I like it because it is so simple to use. I sometimes have two different lenses with the Lee adapter ring fitted, and it is very easy to slip the Lee holder from one to the other. Is the Z-Pro as easy to use?</p>

<p> </p>

<p>I’m looking for a circular polarizing filter for my Canon 24mm T/S II, and could use some feedback about the following three:<br /> <br /> Tiffen 82mm Digital HT (High Transmission) Circular Polarizing Multi-Coated Glass Filter <br /> <br /> B+W 82mm Kaeseman Circular Polarizing Multi-Resistant Coating (MRC) Glass Filter <br /> <br /> B+W 82mm Circular Polarizer Filter <br /> • Multi-Resistant Coated (MRC)<br /> • Slim Design<br /> <br /> I generally use B+W filters, but have been told that the new Tiffen Digital HT is very good, as it should be with a price tag nearly $100 higher than the other two. The slim design B+W has no front filter threads or I would probably go with it. I don't know how good the B+W push-on filter caps are, nor whether the cap would interfere with removing and replacing the lens hood. The other B+W is a little thicker than the Tiffen from what I can gather, and I'm not sure if that would be a problem with vignetting when the lens is shifted/tilted to the extreme positions. <br /> <br /> I have used Hoya polarizing filters in the past, but the last two that I purchased came apart in less than a year of light use. So they are off my list. I don’t have experience with any other brands, but am open to suggestions.<br /> <br /> Thanks, Mary</p>

<p>The 7D pop up flash can be used as a wireless master, but does not offer the High-speed Sync or Second Curtain Sync functions.</p>

<p> </p>

<p >Update:</p>

<p >I replaced the battery in the ST-E2 Transmitter, and I still had the same result; High-speed Sync still dropped out after a few minutes. I also tried using my other 550 EX flash, again with the same result. </p>

<p > </p>

<p >So I called Canon tech support and spent about an hour on the phone with them. They set up a 7D just like I have mine set up, and were able to hold High-Speed Sync with their ST-E2 Transmitter and both the 550 EX and 580 EXII flashes. Their conclusion is that there is some sort of problem with my 7D body, and they recommend that I send it to them for repair. Since the ST-E2 Transmitter works fine with my 5DII, they said that there is no need to send it along, although they gave me the option to send it as well, and I probably will.</p>

<p >Thanks to all, Mary.<br /></p>
