In depth information re adapting older lenses to current EOS cameras.

Since this forum first became public one very common question is whether the older lenses we still own from the film days will work on the new Canon DSLR many are considering buying. Like many things there are ways to use them but not necessarily as well as hoped for when trying to move to one of Canon DSLR's in your budget. This link is to a very good thread at another forum I've been a member at for some time & which has a lot of members exploring just about every possible avenue of photography. It's still a work in progress so there will be more info added as time passes but it's a very good start at helping point out what you need to know in your decision making re using older FD lenses with the EF / EF-S mount.

BTW...when it comes to x-plane, I just want it to run, not run well...I know it's not a great vid card.

  • How can I transfer information from my older MacBook Pro to my new MacBook Pro?

    How can I transfer information information from my older MacBook Pro to my new MacBook Pro? Does anyone have an answer because I spoke to 2 people at Apple & both sent me the wrong cables.....

    Did they mention Migration Assistant?  You can use MA with FireWire, limit is the speed of the older unit.  MA will guide you and allow you to choose what to transfer.

  • HT4644 How do I get an image on a Samsung TV via HDMI adapter and cable.  Currently get only a static imgae of desktop and gray grainy screen for everything else.

    How do get an image on a Samsung HD TV via HDMI adapter and cable?
    Currently get a static image of the desktop and then a grainy gray picture.

    If it's like mine, I used another post's advice. Go to system preferences, then display and click on "mirror". Then in system preferences go to sound and click on "HDMI".  I did this while I was connected to my Samsung TV and it worked then.

  • Why are no Pentax lenses in the Adobe Camera Raw lens profiles when processing JPG files?

    I normally shoot and process raw files and use the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw for processing. Some of these files are converted to jpg for use on the net or e-mailing etc. Sometimes I want to make minor changes to the now converted jpg file and often go to Adobe Camera Raw for ease and speed of use. Lately I have gone back to some files that were not thoroughly processed as raw files before conversion to jpg. When, in ACR, I go to Lens Corrections panel, Profile tab, I Enable Lens Profile Corrections and choose Setup: Auto (or Default) and get the message, "Unable to locate a matching lens profile automatically".
    I then go down to Lens Profile and click on Make with the intention of choosing the Pentax lens which I used for the photo. Here is the problem - there are only six choices under make, namely Apple, Canon, Nikon, Sigma, Sony and Tamron. I have no such issues when processing a raw file in Adobe Camera Raw. Pentax lenses are automatically detected and Pentax, along with Leica, Samsung, Zeiss, etc. are choices under Make of lens.
    Do other people have this problem? Is there some setting I have missed? Is Adobe just not permitting some makers' lenses, for which there are profiles, to be corrected if the files are jpgs?
    BTW, I have checked and the same issues exist for tiff files opened in ACR.

    Assuming I read your post correctly, and that you're trying to use Lens corrections on JPEGs and TIFFs...  I believe there's a completely different set of profiles for correcting already "developed" images (such as JPEGs and TIFFs).  If I recall correctly (and it's been a while since I read about this), it's the same set that's used inside Photoshop for the Filter - Lens Correction tool (I hope someone here will correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure I read this somewhere).
    If your lenses are known to Camera Raw when you develop raw files, I suggest you will need to go all the way back to your Raw file and reprocess it from that stage.  You'll get a better result anyway.

  • Lenses for CAnon EOS 50D

    Hi
    I have recently retired and hope to purchase a Canon Eos 50D shortly.
    As a new comer to digital photography I would like advise on lenses to buy please,
    as I am totally confused by the array of different lenses on offer.
    I need : ,

    All assistance appreciated.
    I feel you should refer to the range available in Best buy
    Thank you in advance
    Liam

    Are you planning on buying a 50D kit or just the body? Maybe start out with the 50D kit with the 28-135 and buy a 70-300 also. This should give you a good range to start until you find what kind of photography you enjoy. Canon has a good wide angle in the 10-22mm. Its not too expensive ($850 I think).
    Lens choices depends on what you are planning to shoot. For example when I shoot weddings (I use Nikon BTW so the lens sizes are Nikon sizes) I use a 14-24 F/2.8 for the formals mainly, 28-70 F/2.8 and a 70-200 F2.8. Alot of times I have to deal with low lighting and some churches actually wont let me use a flash inside the chapel. For motorsports and airshows, I'll bring the 12-24 F/4 (for ground displays at airshows), 70-200 F/2.8, 300mm F/2.8 (for motorsports), 500mm F/4 or the 600mm F/4 for airshows (mostly the 600 goes, but the 500 is fine for the local one since we're closer to the flight box). Senior & family portraits 85mm F/1.4 for seated shots and the 28-70 for the outdoor/hobby shots.

    Do you have a smaller capacity micro SD card to try? I seem to remember from past posts that users were having problems with cards larger than 32GB, however, Apple's page doesn't mention this.

  • Have A630 Camera. Why are no lens adapter or lenses available? Camera was designed for attachments.

    Book calls for LA-DC58F adapter. Web page does not list A603 as compatible. Your telling me I cannot purchase lenses because the camera is afew years old? BAH!

    Gtbehm,
    Most lens adapters can be purchased from the Canon website.  However, since the adapter for your PowerShot A630 is not available on the Canon website, I recommend that you contact our Sales Department directly by phone to inquqire about its availability by calling 1-800-OK-CANON.  The Sales Department is open 8:00 a.m. to Midnight (Eastern Time), seven days a week.  They will be able to provide you with availability and pricing information.

  • IPTC information reverting to older version when opening in CS5

    Ok, I will try to explain this as clearly as I can. I am having an issue with the IPTC information for an image (in this case keywords) reverting to a older version when I open the tiff image in photoshop CS6 compared to CS2.
    The keywords were added in ThumbsPlus on a Windows XP computer. On the XP computer the image was edited on, all the keywords are there when the image is opened up in CS2, irrelevant of whether the image is from the folder on that computer, or the version that was copied to my computer (Windows 7).
    However when I open up the image in CS5 on my computer (again irrelevant of whether I open my copied version or the one from the XP computer) the keywords viewed in File Info are an older version with words missing. If I create a jpeg file from this tiff it makes it with the older version of the keywords (this might be obvious, just wanted to give all info).
    I have randomly had the problem before with other images dropping of the description or again reverting to an older version.
    This has only been happening since I have had CS5.

    Please bare with me I am a complete novice about these things.. Here is what I did (which didn't work)..
    1. I deleted the app off my phone.
    2. Despite the phone syncing when I plugged my phone into the computer the old version of the app is still showing in my itunes library. (I am still showing that an update is available for it). If I had the new version updates wouldn't be available correct?
    3. Went to my device.. right clicked and selected "Backup".
    4. Synced phone. (Had" My device" open and synced using button on lower right side of the screen).
    The sync did not add the app to my phone.

  • Bento on older iPad. How can I get the information from the older Bento to another newer iPad?

    I have an older iPad that I developed some Bento Libraries. I have a newer iPad and iPad Mini. I would like to have the libraries I developed for the older iPad on my new ones. I thought syncing would do it but not so. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    It all depends on what kind of email account you have. IMAP accounts (e.g. Gmail) will sync folders across devices. Exchange accounts will as well. POP3 accounts (e.g. AOL, Comcast, Verizon) will not sync folders. What kind of email account do you have? Consult your email provider if you're not sure. If it's POP3, see if they have an IMAP option.

  • How to add profiles for older camera and older lenses, Fuji S3 Pro, Nikon D90, Nikon 28-85

    How can I obtain and install profile for a Fuji S3 Pro and Nikon D200
    How can I obtain and install profile for a Nikon 28-85 AF
    A bit of a newbie , just retired

    About Lens Profiles:
    They are different for Raw and JPEG. Sometimes a profile is only available for Raw, sometimes for JPEG, sometimes for both, sometimes for neither. If it is available, it can be found by searching in the Profile tab of the Lens Corrections panel. If it doesn't show available when searching here, you can go to the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader and see if another user, like yourself, has created one. If not, you can download the Adobe Lens Profile Creator tool and make one yourself.  See the link below.
