No, I did not notice any slowing when using the adapter.

@@TBGTOMPHOTO when the high speed continuous icon is lit is green it means ur getting full speed when it's white it means you are not. If you could confirm that for me that would really help my decision when purchasing. Because I do intend on using it for some indoor sports and things like that.

@@Silverturky I no longer have the lens, but from what I remember it did show up green.

If you think that's bad, you should hear my real voice. LOL

True, and I have one. But at the time of this video, that didn't exist yet.

I LOVE the R5. I have two of them. They are the best cameras I've ever used, by far. I also have the R6 mark II, but use it mostly for video work. I'm not a fan of the lower megapixels on the R6, but it does a decent job.

@@TBGTOMPHOTO thanks for the quick response! I appreciate it!

🤣

Cool. I don't have that lens so I didn't use it for this video.

I've owned both. Used the Canon RF 135mm now for several months and I can tell you that it autofocuses faster, the colors are more in line with all the other RF L lenses, and the image stabilization comes in very handy in low light and slow shutter situations. But hey, it's your money, and if all you can afford is the Sigma then so be it.

With the extension grip I am completely in love with the R7. You didn't find the night-and-day faster frames per second a benefit? I've used the 60D and it seems like a dinosaur by comparison. The 60D is horrid in low light, only 3fps, and you don't get the enormous benefit of an electronic viewfinder with a FAR superior autofocus system in the R7.

@@TBGTOMPHOTO You are talking to a dinosaur when it comes to cameras, get ready but I only shoot on AF and with my 60D and it was nice to handle and I was happy with the pictures I took on AF mode. I just wanted a up grade and get a new camera. I am going to order the Pistol Grip that you suggested. Thanks for you input.

That's just one of the dozens of clocks we have hanging around the house.

There are sensor facing filters that can be used in the Canon R5, which would work for any lens.

@@TBGTOMPHOTO But I mainly use this for adjustable polarizers, and there are no polarizing clip-in filters. (And, of course, with it being external, you can adjust it right by the lens mount, which is very convenient. The same principle applies for adjusting ND, e.g., while shooting video.)

@@856pm5Oh wow, you're using the 135mm for landscape? I use mine for portraits and weddings. I prefer wider lenses for landscape.

Sometimes, yes. But I've also used a polarizer w outdoor portraits. (also I use the same filters with all my EF lenses now which is pretty handy in general, esp w how small the filter adapter is vs. carrying front filters esp of different sizes.) @@TBGTOMPHOTO

Also, I had the Sigma 135 before Canon announced their RF 135, and for me, though the RF 135 is definitely a great lens (I'm a fan of their 85/1.2 too) it doesn't strike me as a huge leap from the already very good sigma @@TBGTOMPHOTO

Good thing nobody asked for your opinion. I use this grip all the time and it works fantastically for larger sized hands such as mine. I don't need a spare battery in the grip, I only need the extension.

I've had issues with Sigma lenses in the past as well... but for some reason, the Sigma 135mm lens does not have that focus issue that you mention with the 85mm. With the RF adapter, the lens is quick and reliable, which is why I use it at weddings. My RF 135 is still on backorder, I'm sorry to say (as of 7/21/2023), going on several months now, with no information in sight. Hopefully I'll have it by the end of the year.

I have the same issue with my Sigma 50 mm 1.4 on a R6 II when using the servo-modus so I use the one-shot-modus when the objekt is not moving. I have set one-shot on the af-backbutton and servo on the top trigger to be able to switch quickly.

How's that going? I have been looking at that camera for video work. Any overheating issues that you've found?

@@TBGTOMPHOTO it's absolutely amazing compared to my old 7dmk2. Not used the video yet so I can't comment on the over heating issue if there is any

Correct. And for me, personally, that's fine. I just wanted something to fit my gorilla paws onto without my fingers dangling, and this solves that for me.

I'm really hoping that Canon puts out a mark II of the R7 that includes a battery grip and a faster sensor to reduce rolling shutter. I love the R7, but improvements can surely be made.

Not sure they have ever, or will ever, make the perfect camera at the perfect price. The more I shoot the R7 the more I like it. I consider this camera the right size and weight for a "carry around" camera. Great for taking a walk, going for a hike. As such, I don't think I would put a vertical battery grip on it if one were available. It would just add weight and bulk that I try and minimalize when hiking. I have been using electronic shutter a lot and haven't noticed much rolling shutter except when panning a fast moving object. The only other thing would be that it takes a second or two, or three to "wake up" after it shuts itself down. The screen comes on, but info on the screen takes a bit longer. If you shoot too fast, before the info comes up, the camera can do some wonky things, like suddenly tell you the card with 1500 images on it is empty, or can't read the images! Scary! Even though they did show up on the computer.

How did you manage to go past "max" when there are hard stops? I've never had any issues with my copy of this filter.

There were no stops on my filter it would fully rotate @@TBGTOMPHOTO

With my eyesight, I didn't even see the dust until looking at the photos.

@@TBGTOMPHOTO :)

God, I would hope the R5 images are cleaner!! It is more than twice the price, plus is full frame!

I also ended up getting a lens cap for the front of the metal hood. Love it.

I've only noticed minor movement on mine in that area. Hopefully they can resolve that for you.

HA, there are no batteries with this camera... this is all done with springs and gears.

No batteries, and it takes film.

I'm going to be using that exact combination... the R7 with the RF 100-500 and the RF 1.4x TC while in Montana in a few weeks. I will have a new video on how that works out shortly after I return from that trip.

I look forward to your video, now that I am subscribed to your channel I should receive the notification. I am aware that to fit the extender the lens needs to be zoomed to 300mm, this I do not consider a problem as my reason for its use would be to shoot small birds so will not use the lens at less than 300mm. Only thing holding me back is for a review of use of the 1.4 extender and the 100-300mm lens. Thanks.

@@kirkwest3721 You are correct about the 300mm. For that reason I won't have it attached to the lens during travel, I'll assemble that as needed on location. I also purchased a different collar for the RF 100-500 lens that includes a built in arca swiss plate, so that will be easier to mount to my Wimberly gimbal for monopod/tripod shooting (when I'm tired of hand holding).

@@TBGTOMPHOTO I did not realise one can purchase a third party collar and footplate, I already have extra footplates which I can attach to the lens collar and were immediately fixed to the collar footplate when I received the lens, so I could use it on my gimbal. The way you propose to use the extender is exactly how I would want to use it. Looking forward to your comments even more now as it appears we are at least on the same page!

@@kirkwest3721 I'll be sure to snap photos of the complete setup here in my home office before I head off to Montana to use it in the field. I'll also add a link to the Wimberly gimbal head in the description shortly.

No... my R5s are for professional work. My R7 is for fun. This isn't a paid job, so it will get the enthusiast body. The R7 has been much more than adequate on my wildlife shoots, and being a full frame equivalent of nearly 80 megapixels, is more than ample.

@@TBGTOMPHOTO even if you don't use the R5, its always smart to have a backup with you.

@@Chris_Wolfgram don't like the R5? I love both of my R5 bodies. I just wanted to keep the weight down on my carry on bag. However, if I were doing the trip all over again I would have put my RF 15-35 on my R5 and my RF 100-500 on my R7 and used each of those cameras for either landscape or wildlife instead of swapping lenses on the R7.

Please see the description of the video, you will find the URL to the manufacturer.

Just realized I didn't put the URL on this video, I had put it on another video... but you can see the URL in the description now.

Yes, and to be perfectly honest, the Hi Res images look a bit "soft" to me compared to a raw upscale.

I'm not sure if that's possible as it takes the images very quickly and in electronic shutter mode only... but give it a try and see what happens.

No... you're kidding. What gave you that impression?

@@TBGTOMPHOTO i'm not talking about the hood though

why are you talking about the Sigma not being stabilized? It is stabilized by the IBIS of the R5 which works extremely well. The stabilizer of the RF lens might be a tad better, but that's probably not worth the price difference. The Sigma is already extremely sharp and works very well on the R5. I can only recommend the combo.

It's good enough... I own the Sigma, and I have the RF 135 on backorder. The moment the RF version arrives I'm dumping the Sigma. If you get an opportunity to use them side by side, like I have, you'll change your mind on the Sigma.

​@@TBGTOMPHOTOthen at the same time, I could get three Sigmas for one Canon😅

@@Dewabarasunderan of course you could... and I don't knock the Sigma lens, obviously it's the 135mm in my bag currently... my own RF 135 is still on backorder. I get amazing photos with it! Bottom line they are both great lenses. I just find that using native lenses on a camera typically works out best.

Glad you enjoyed it!
