The *Official Photography Thread*

For the Canon shooters out there, why doesn't Canon put a DX crop mode in their full frame cameras like Nikon does?

 

What would you do with this logo? Would it be for your business or just messing around?

I ask because if for a business, it sends a really mixed message. Otherwise, I think it looks cool-it does need the blade edges to be rounded tho.

 

BlackRapid FTW

 

Even with my strap, thats just my luck

The 5D3 has that, I don't know why they are just bringing it out now..

 

I'm probably wrong about the why part but Nikon have quite a few lenses devoted to crop bodies whereas Canon only have/had a few. You could have a bunch of DX series lenses that were worthless when you upgraded to FX (the DX lens won't cover all of the FX sensor).

I'd be willing to guess Canon don't have a crop mode because there isn't really a need for it.

 

Cause they're just starting to get kinda sorta maybe caught up with Nikon a little tiny bit.

 

for some odd reason I didn't think it did have that

 

the reason why I like the idea of a crop function is to get a greater focal length without having to use a TC

 

Really? The mount is EF. Doesn't support the EF-S lenses.

 

I'm just an amateur but I thought these came out nice

 

They have more non-FF lenses called the EF-S now then they did when the 5D2 came out. So you are correct. They took far too long to upgrade the 5d which is now why \/\/\/ his argument is almost true

Yeah, I just noticed it after looking at it three times for other people

 

Right, my bad , but there is the Aspect ratio option

 

They came out really nice, especially the leaf one.

 

It's confusing because EF-S works by moving the back of the lens closer to the sensor and it cannot be mounted on a body that doesn't support it. Yet all the new bodies (except 1D) seem to support EF-S yet they all have EF mounts (including the 1D).

Retarded.

 

I agree that it is rather confusing, but the new bodies, with the exception of the 1D series have FF or APS-H which is a 1x and 1.3x crop respectivly.

The EF-S moves it back towards the APS-C (1.6x) crop frame to give it a better image, but can still use the EF (which is mainly for FF cameras) but the image it shows, is bigger then the actual sensor. Which means excess light fall off that can or cannot harm the image.

The EF-S is also rather new and inexpensive to the EF lenses, for the amateur.

But when the amateur wants new lenses, he/she is not restricted to the EF-S lenses.

That is at least how I have perceived the difference, and I may be wrong

 

thanks guys!

and Pope, thats not your screen thats actually how it is he longer you stare at something the more i changes lol thanks for pointing that out!

 

Hey thanks

The leaf is my favorite too. Just one of my house plants against a sunny window. Who'd of thought..

 

So does anyone use 500px?? So far most of the people on there seem to be far beyond my skill level right now. I don't know, not sure if I like it yet.

 

ive been on there but i feel the same way haha. a lot of the stuff on there is just amazing.

 

im on there! we should friend each other.
