EOS RP & Sigma 35mm f/1.4 ART Black Circles Issue

 

 When I mounted my beloved Sigma 35mm f/1.4 ART to EOS RP, it shocked me with two black circles on screen and the actual taken photos. I remembered someone asked this question in a forum about EOS-M and Sigma lenses. The problem causing this was Canon's software lens correction feature. If you had the same "shocking" issue and Google brought you here, you can follow the steps below to fix it.

The Winter Event At Sutton Place Hotel Vancouver

Usually, Winter is a low wedding season in Vancouver because of the rain and cold weather. Lots of events hosted during the time. November and December are busy months for event photos. We will post some event photos in blog around these few weeks.

Facebook (FB) advertisement was the most popular topic back in the days we attended WPPI convention at Las Vegas almost every year. This world changes very fast when we found that almost zero new clients came FB page now. Instead, more and more clients messaged us from Instagram (IG). Other than blog, we will post more on IG side. If you use IG often, you can add us @raymonatorleung. Link is down below.

About camera stuff... Canon recycles their 5D Mark 4 sensor in its new mirrorless series EOS R and 6D Mark 2 sensor in EOS RP. At the same time, Canon pushes out a lot of huge high end RF lenses. We can see the trend of Canon but obviously next version of R and RP will have huge differences (after old sensors are cleared out from warehouse). It isn't a good timing for us to jump into Canon's mirrorless series now.

Will We Buy Canon's First Full Frame Mirrorless Camera: EOS-R?

There are lots of reviews and opinions about EOS-R online. You can just type "EOS-R" in YouTube and it will pop out many videos about it. If you follow our blog, you should know we are Canon shooters from day one. Olympus OM-D mirrorless cameras are mainly for leisure use. We love our OM-D's very much but they are not quite ready for wedding jobs, we think. With IBIS, we can capture a lot of interesting photos that 5D series can't do when tripod isn't available or size/weight is a problem at the spot. It would be great if Canon made something like a full frame OM-D E-M1 (We wished this for years).

So... EOS-R is a disappointment? Mm... It is... but not totally.

However, if we treat it like what 6D Mark II should have, then we see EOS-R differently. Besides EOS-R is missing the most important thing (IBIS) in our wish list, the touch screen focus (when using EVF) and the crazy number of AF points are what we need. Another thing is the battery: LP-E6 which is 5D2/3/4 battery. We have a lot of LP-E6 in our bags. It will save us $ on new batteries (if we go for Sony A7 III). Canon's Flash RT system can be used seamlessly if we "upgrade" to EOS-R.

We have to say Canon is very smart. The purpose of EOS-R is for stopping the last batch of loyal Canon users switching to Sony A7/A9 or Nikon Z6/Z7. At the same time, EOS-R only hurts 6D Mark II's market a little bit. It won't affect Canon's video camera line, 5D Mark IV, and the most money making APS-C line. As many people predicted, DSLR should be dead in 5 to 6 years later which is two Canon's high end product cycle. We think Canon will cut 6D and 5D line soon (or no 5D Mark V next year).

In conclusion, we may get A7 III if we need a replacement at this moment. When Canon breaks the chains of DSLR, EOS-R system will catch up with others.

New Tech New Tool - 100L

We got the new Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM lens this week to replace the old EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro. The new Hybrid Image Stabilizer from Canon is really amazing. At the same time, the photo quality from this lens is one of the best among all L-Lenses that I've used.

This week, I had an assignment of taking photos on a new package box. Photos should be for website use. I didn't have much time to set up anything because of client meetings and album designs. Therefore, I used the fastest and easiest way to get the job done.
