Legacy Canon FD 200mm f2.8 with 2x converter on Panasonic G1 ?

I am using the above combination for bird photos. I am hoping to develop a lens profile that will reduce the chromatic aberration and purple fringing I have experienced when wide open. Has anyone already profiled this lens, even if on a different body ?
I only have access to LR3 so cannot search the Adobe database of submitted profiles.
How likely is it that I will see an improvement by profiling the lens?
Has anyone produced a spreadsheet or similar to help select the optimum chart ?
I also connect the Panasonic G1 to a Leica Televid scope for some photos. Again has anyone done any profiling of scopes ?

1. 50 mm F/1.4 IS - which would be Sharp wide open.
I would dare to say that I'm not so interested so much in IS - I will trade the IS for having good-to-very-good results (corner sharpness, not-so-much vignetting) at F/1.4
2. Better (U)WA at f/2.8 - better (lesser) distortions, vignetting aso. on a 16-35 f/2.8 - I'm not interested so much in having reach on tele side - In fact I'm doing my work now with Tokina 16-28mm f/2.8 FX exactly because it has lesser distortions on the wide end.
3. I think that's possible to have a short zoom with an aperture lower than f/2.8. I think that this will be a killer. Having for example something like 40-60 at f/2 will be quite neat. However I'm reserved if this thing would be achievable. Perhaps is better to mention that I would carry a little weight in plus for this (because most probably this will be little bigger and heavier lens than a 24-70).

.CR2 from canon G9 won't open with DNG converter or CS2

Hi I've tried opening .CR2 raw files fro a new Canon G9 with Adobe DNG converter but message says 'files won't open problem with parsing the file'
I downloaded both Camera raw 3.7 and 4.2 to use in CS2 but can't open them there either. Does anyone have any advice?

Canon G9 RAW files will only be able to convert in the latest (and free) ACR 4.3 but ACR version 4.x only works in PSCS3
for CS2 the max version is ACR3.7.
You have 2 options left:
1- upgrade your version to CS3, apart from being able to directly open the RAW in ACR you will benefit from a lot more options in ACR4 and CS3 that are worth the money.
2- use the DNG route, download the (free) DNG converter version 4.3 from the Adobe site.
convert the G9 RAW files to DNG and then open the files in the ACR 3.7 converter in CS2

Canon 70-200mm lens with a Canon Extender EF 2X III versus Canon 100-400mm lens

Which is better for astrophotography,
a Canon 70-200mm lens with a Canon Extender EF 2X III or Canon 100-400mm lens

If you refer to Canon 70-200mm 2.8L IS II USM + Extender 2x III, then you'd get f/5.6 all over the focal length range vs. the EF 100-400 f/4.5-5.6L IS USM (meaning you'll get a bit more of light at the short telephoto end when using the 100-400)
Both combinations are very sharp, but I think the 100-400 is a bit sharper when compared to 70-200 2.8L II + extender 2x III, noticeable if you use full frame DSLRs.
If you use APS-C DSLRs, then I'd suggest going for the 70-200 2.8L IS II USM because you'll get more than 1 f-stops of light if you shoot from 70 to 200mm (without the Extender 2x III) compared to the 100-400, and the sharpness is really amazing (better than 100-400 in both Full Frame and APS-C cameras)

I have Photoshop Elements 9. I downloaded the plug in 6.0 and it works on the RAW files from Canon EOS 60D, but not with Canon EOS 70D. I cannot download higher versions of plug in, because I have Windows Vista and it is not supported.

You could try using the DNG converter 8.7 on Windows vista:
<Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7>
<Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7>
You then need to watch this video to get hang of it:

Hope this helps.

Opening Canon 6D .CR2 raw files with CS5 Extended

Can't open Canon EOS 6D raw files with CS5. What is the minimum I need to do to open Canon EOS 6D .CR2 raw files in Photoshop CS5 Extended version 12.1 x64, and Brige CS5 version 4.1.0.54, and Camera Raw version 6.7.0.339? I would rather not have to go through the hassle of first converting all files with the Adobe DNG - is there another option? Can I upgrade my Adobe software?

Im having the same problem, and i use CS6
Do you know if CC can open 6D .CR2 files?
Thanks!

Canon Battery Grip BG-E14 with the EOS 70D

Recently purchased the Canon BG-E14 battery grip to replace a third party battery grip for my new EOS 70D. The reason for replacing the third party grip with the more expensive Canon grip was a problem with using AA batteries with the third party product. At the time, I thought the reason the AA batteries were not working was because the grip was not a Canon product.
Turns out the Canon BG-E14 battery grip also does not work with AA batteries, but I not sure now if it's the grip or the camera causing the issue. I need to use AA batteries because of camping for long periods of time (no access to electricity) in remote areas. The battery indicator will show “Full” for about five minutes, then quickly go down to empty. The camera will shut down after about 6 minutes and if you keep turning the camera back on then you can continue shooting a few more pictures. I have use other Canon battery grips in the past with AA batteries with no issues, so again maybe the issue is with the new EOS 70D.
Does anyone have any knowledge on what could cause this issue of the AA batteries not working with the EOS 70D battery grip BG-E14? AND how is Canon fixing this issue (since this is an expensive Canon product that is not working as designed)?
Thanks,

Canon's rechargeables are Lithium Ion batteries. If you were to plot a graph of the power output from the battery as it is drained, you'd find that it provides a fairly steady voltage and then only drops at the very end when the battery is basically dead.
Non-rechargeable alkaline batteries don't behave like this. The voltage slowly drops as the battery drains and this may be fooling the camera into thinking it's got a dead battery (because the voltage doesn't normally drop on rechargeables until the very end.)
I use Sanyo Eneloop rechargeables and, if you're planning to take a huge pile of AA batteries camping, then I'd highly suggest that you specifically get the Eneloop brand. The Eneloops are "low self discharge". Most rechargeable batteries loose an astonishing amount of their charge within just 24 hours of being charged up -- simply through "self discharge". Eneloops are designed to not self-discharge. Sanyo claims that a charged Eneloops will still hold 90% of it's charge even after sitting on a shelf for 1 year after being charged.
I use Eneloops in all my speedlites. I normally just use the Canon batteries in my 5D III battery grip... but I through 6 Eneloops into the AA battery tray just as a test. I'll let you know how long it lasts (so far I've shot dozens of shots in the last 10 minutes and the battery power indicator still shows full as I would expect).
One other question... is the WiFi enabled on your 70D?

Is the canon eos rebel t3i compatible with Mac osx 10.9.1?
I am trying to transfer my photos from my camera to my Mac.
I have downloaded the software for the camera to my Mac BUT it cannot transfer the photos.
EOS Utility states that it cannot be used with this version of the operating system.
I am running on OSX 10.9.1
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I would try uninstalling the canon software and then just plug your camera into your Mac. iPhoto should be all the software you should need.

So if I have my Canon 70D set to sync with the iPhone, you're saying it also will sync with the iPad? What application would I have open on the iPad to accept the wifi transfer of photos, since there is no Canon remote app for the iPad?

Hi...
If you delete the backups it will not delete any content from their device, however the data will be removed from iCloud.
It will also prevent the devices from backing up to iCloud in future, unless this is re-enabled.

Is there a way to uninstall Legacy and Compatibility Content after installing with Additional Content?

Hey Antonio,
That's a good suggestion, and it's something that we're already planning on addressing in the next release, probably via a service that you can use to view information about patches and notifications -- not only the ones that were known at the time that you installed, but also ones that might have come into existence since then.
In case you're still looking for the link to that CVI 2009 notification, you can find it here.
By the way, my world cup sympathies to you -- your guys were robbed.

Microsoft Office. Epson Scan, Canon software won't work with Lion OS

Microsoft Office. Epson Scan, Canon software won't work with Lion OS

Microsoft office 2008 and later work fine on Lion. Office 2004 is a PowerPC application. PPC apps are no longer supported and Lion does not include Rosetta, which was required to run them on OS X. I imagine the Epson / Canon software you are trying to use is the same. Check with them to see if updates are available.

Sorry, but I could not find anything re. the ilife 05 compatibility with cameras or camcorders, so you might be better off asking your question in the iMovie forum:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie
Make sure you indicate in the subject line that you have iMovie 05 and your model Camcorder - something like: Canon Vixia HF r100 and iMovie 05 on a G5 PPC - compatible?
