Thanks, yeah I love that 35. The crash zoom has become part of our visual vocabulary on a mockumentary we’re developing so I think we’ll need to carry one of these heavy zooms. Would try the Tamron first, as that looks to perform better, but the Sigma will pair well with the 18-35 we’ll also be using - so I may buy and try the Sigma first, and return if it’s just too heavy and the stabilisation doesn’t work as I hope it does. I worry about that zoom ring placement too - so need to get a feel of it. Will let you know my thoughts.

24-70 on RF mount: Sigma vs Tamron? Replacing ageing Tamron 24-70 VC for something with smoother AF - the focussing can be jumpy and jarring. Looking for decent in-lens stabilisation. Using EF lenses on RF mount + drop in ND adaptor (so not looking at the awesome and expensive RF 24-70). Was originally thinking the Tamron G2 but the stabilisation looks sticky for panning. Thoughts / experiences? Anyone using the Sigma 24-70 Art on Canon and can comment on the stabilisation -is it sticky, is it jerky? Mixed reports on internet, some say it’s not effective at all, some say it’s be

Really enjoyed this, from the nostalgic storytimes at the beginning, through the gear talk, to the little grilling Dave gave you. It felt candid and effortless, and it left me entertained. Thanks. I’d sub to your podcasts. -

There’s the excellent RF 15-35, not a lot of reach but will be great for indoors. Though in that use case I’d prefer the Sigma 18-35 and just use digital IS, if it’s as good on the C70 as it is on my R. I personally like the 18-135 image, and for outdoor ENG, especially when paired with a body (like the C70) that supports corrective auto iris. There’s the option to add servo ‘power zoom‘ with the nano version, but I never did. For a one and done though, I’d still be rocking that trusty 17-55 and cropping out any really obvious vignetting in post, when needed. My C100 would crop in fo -

Yes this suggests thermal management is, shall we say, a somewhat discretionary decision by Canon. Newsshooter cites Canon statement but I can’t find source. According to this statement Canon feel that they’ve addressed customer concerns. Gordon’s video suggests improvements but in the end I think most user’s chief concern will remain whether the camera actually overheats as described. Over to users to test it and have their say. https://www.newsshooter.com/2020/08/27/canon-r5-firmware-update/ “ According to Canon, ‘The effect of the new firmware addresses consumer concerns -

Thanks @wolf33d People are seeing it (1286 views) but only a fraction are signing it. Importantly, Canon were emailed the petition end of play yesterday, containing all signatures thus far and a link to the live version which continue to accumulate. The 30-day returns period (from release 30 July) expires this weekend so technically Canon have until then to respond with a firmware update that resolves the complaints. If they don’t, then petitioners could opt to wait the full 30 days from their signature before taking further action. Depending on where someone files a class action, th -

maybe it should be rebranded 'Canon, please stop the Cripple Hammer' and ask Camera Conspiracies to share
