    Dear Ken. Thank you so much for the camera and lens reviews. I have read some reviews about a focus shift issue with this lens. Keen to hear your views about that. Thank you

    • @KenRockwellTV
      @KenRockwellTV  11 месяцев назад +1

      Never seen that. Back in olden days before Mirrorless, AF systems used a completely different technology and there could be focus shift that varied with spherical aberration levels. This was usually corrected electronically with data in the lens talking to the AF system to correct it. I can see how the variable spherical aberration in this lens could coincide an old full-aperture AF system, but after all these words here’s the solution if you ever see any focus shift in this lens at the extreme settings of the SA CONTROL: just focus with the lens stopped down and problem, if any, will go away. Also when you set the SA CONTROL away from zero you’re using a special effect and there often is no longer one point of best focus, clouding the issue. Again, I never had any problem. Thanks!

      Hi! I did hear a native Japanese guy say bokeh once, and it came out “Bo-Kay,” so beats me how to say it! Thanks again! (You’re so kind; this was just me looking in the box the first time; the review comes in a few weeks at www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/lenses/100mm-macro.htm

    Very nice Ken I'll go and read your review now but I just got this lens today sold my Nikkor Z 105 macro but how do you know if your at 1.1 or 1 4 as it doesn't have a focus limiter on the lens?

    • @KenRockwellTV
      @KenRockwellTV  2 года назад +1

      The Canon 100mm RF macro has no repro ratio scale. If this is important to you, use a ruler at the subject to measure the horizontal width of the field and divide by 36mm. In olden days scales were sold from which you could read the ratio directly.

  • @teethtrainsandcameras2668
    @teethtrainsandcameras2668 6 месяцев назад

    Hi, this lens has one major omission that could be fixed in firmware, that is the lack of magnification ratios on the distance scale in the viewfinder eg 1:3,1:4 etc. These are used in dentistry and other scientific fields so that repeat photos are always taken at the same distance. Earlier EF lens have this as does the Nikon Z mount counterpart.

    Great quick overview!
    But Beautiful job of packing? You can tell the lens inside didn’t have enough cushion to keep it from dangling. It just happen to me too recently and it’s unacceptable when spending thousands for lens. Disappointed with B&H in that regard. You would think if they do this since the 70s they would be better at it..

    • @KenRockwellTV
      @KenRockwellTV  2 года назад +1

      It had plenty of packing. It’s packed well enough in Canon’s box that B&H could just tape it closed and slap a lable on it and ship it that way; Canon’s box has all the protection the lens needs. Thanks!

    are you a fan of the 70-200mm lenses? or do you prefer primes like these

    • @KenRockwellTV
      @KenRockwellTV  2 года назад +1

      Neither. Today the Canon EF 100-400 IS L II is the best. 70-200 went obsolete with film; we don’t need 2.8 for digital except for some sports.

    • @KenRockwellTV
      @KenRockwellTV  2 года назад +1

      2.8 is nice but almost never necessary. I prefer a stabilized 16-35/4 to an unstabilized f/2.8 - but if I shot action it would be the other way around.

    Always funny your "Made in Japan" fetish. In the 70s, the decade you always love to mention, "Made in Japan" was a synonym for cheap and plasticy.
