Classic SLRs Series : |
EOS-1 Series is Canon's flagship camera model which uses the autofocus EF/EOS system as the backbone. The Series which comprised of the original EOS-1 has evolved to the present EOS-1v (film based) to EOS-1D (Digital based) which widely acclaimed as the most used professional camera right now at the professional user's market. Here is a common Message Board designed specifically for Canon EOS-1 Series SLR model which aims for common support and sharing mutual knowledge among users. Hope fully it will see its worth in time to come.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge in your new Canon autofocus lenses page. I guess it is more like a personal perspective; I do own the 20/35 f/3.5-4.5 USM, I think my lens presents an overall batter value than the comparing 20/35 f/2.8L which you rated highly. The AF is faster and it is so much cheaper in comparison (not to mention it is still a current model where the f/2.8L has discontinued long ago (parts issue). I shoot with digital now and the slower lens speed you mentioned is all right for me. This is my view. Overall, I like and enjoy your works (beautiful photos and simple layouts) and I hope to read more new articles here in the future. Thanks.

Certainly, there is nothing wrong with your choice of the 20-35mm f3.5-4.5 lens as opposed to the 'L' series 2.8L version. The difference is in the quality of the optics demanded by professionals whose livelihood rests on the quality of the finished image, and Canon's reputation with 'L' series lenses has stood the test of time and competition. The 20-35 f2.8 can still be found in reputable second-hand stores but is rather out-fancied by the current crop of ultra-wide to standard angle lenses, such as the 17-40mm f4L. Performance of these faster 'L' series lenses cannot be underestimated; the optics are particularly well corrected for aberrations (most — within design and performance objectives — of the Five Aberrations of Seidel), while the standard zooms may have noticeable aberrations at the corners or under particular lighting or focal length conditions. This in no way diminishes the high regard you should have for Canon's standard USM lenses, only that the 'L' series, while being expensive and often heavier, will take your imaging to a new level — provided you have the experience to leverage it.—grh.4.

I wish to seek for an answer: Can the FD-EOS adapter be seriously used for other EF lenses other than those specified at http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/canon/fdresources/fd lenses/fdeos.htm ? and next, is HAMA FD-EOS Adapter usable as with the original Canon FD-EOS adaptor?
***
A certain recommendation cannot be made as to the suitability of using other FD lenses with the EOS lens adaptor. It is important to understand that using FD lenses on electronic mount EOS bodies is essentially a very backward step: the ultra-reliable electronic EF control is replaced with the time honoured but now obsolete mechanical control of the FD mount. Further, the rear element of some FD lenses may actually be damaged if you attempt to mount them on the EOS converter. No safe recommendation can be made on the Hama converter; I would adhere very strictly to what has been made available by Canon, and observe any warnings published by Canon as to perceived suitability and risks. Certainly, it is possible to damage the camera, convertor or lens (particularly the rear mount/element area) by forcefully mating an unsuitable FD lens. —grh5.

Can my older macrolites be used on the digital new EOS bodies ? I read about the articles on your EOS-1N page but I just wanted to have another opinion. Thanks.
***
You did not mention what "older version" of the Canon macrolites you have; there are two: Macro Ring Lite ML-2 (designed for the T90 only) or Macro Ring Lite ML-3, for use with all EOS cameras up to the EOS 1/1N. I doubt these earlier models are still available. Currently, Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX is likely to be the best choice for the new generation Canon EOS digital cameras given that the number of focusing points has increased dramatically over earlier cameras. —grh8.

I have been informed that my Vivitar Thyristar 283 puts out too much voltage for my eos 650, as such I run the risk of frying my camera's electronics. Would someone please give me some counsel on this? Thank you.
***
Canon does not recommend the use of third party manufactured flash units on any of its cameras, irrespective of their age (e.g the EOS 650 dating back to 1987). The reason is that other flashguns may have trigger voltages much higher than the threshold allowed in the EOS cameras, resulting in a possible 'spike' going through the camera's circuits ("frying"). Vivitar flashguns have particularly high trigger voltages. The best and surest advice is to use only a Canon flash unit. Cameras with "fried" electronics through flash damage are usually written off as unrepairable. Both the Canon 430EZ and 540EZ flashguns are suitable for your EOS 650. Earlier models may be very hard to track down. –grh
