Macro lens for Canon 5D Mark iii

I'm taking a Class with NYIP and need to submit a macro photo. Not sure I really want to get into macro so I was hoping for suggestions on cheaper a lens or tubes. Any suggestions?

How much magnification do you need for this project?
Buying a set of extension tubes will cost you less than $100 and allow you to get 1:1 Macro magnification with almost any lens you have now.
Another cheap option is to use a reversing filter ring to mount a 50mm lens backwards onto to any lens you have now.
The cheapest option of all is to just hold the lens backwards against the camera body. I just took this photo of a pencil holding an EF 50mm 1.8 up against the camera body.

Which operating system are you using?
Have you tried Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6 to get either camera raw 8.3 or 8.7.1, which should enable photoshop cs6 to open the canon 5D Mark III files.
(version of camera raw depends on your operating system)
If that doesn't work try one of the following camera raw plugin installers:
Camera raw 8.7.1 plugin
https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/camera-raw-plug-in-installer.html
If you have windows xp or vista or mac os x snow leopard (10.6.8), then you'll have to use the camera raw 8.3 plugin installer:

Photoshop Elements Plug-in for Canon 5D Mark III

I just got a new Canon 5D Mark III camera. I can not open RAW files in Photoshop Elements 7. I previously had a nikon D200 and was able to read RAW files after I downloaded plugin. What plugin do I need to download for the Canon. Can't seem to find one.

Update to PSE12 or use Canon DPP that came with your camera disk. Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.2
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.2
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Camera Raw update for Canon 5D Mark III

Where is the camera raw update for the new Canon 5D Mark III?

It doesn't appear that it is available yet. You will want to utilize Canon's software for now. I would recommend continuing to review http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html as it has a list of all supported and soon to be supported cameras with Camera RAW.

Tethering for Canon 1D mark III

Hello,
Is there any chance, that we will get the Tethering Function in Aperture for the Canon 1D mark III series added during one of the next Aperture updates, soon?
Regards,
JO

There haven't been any announcements by Apple so who knows.
The issue isn't a trivial one, though -- the "standard" tethering protocol used by Aperture for tethering to older cameras does not exist on Canon's newest cameras. So Apple would have to do a lot of work specific to the 1D* Mark III cameras to support tethering.
I'd love to see it personally (I can tether with my 1D Mark II, but not my 1Ds Mark III), but don't know if/when it will happen.
Definitely submit feedback via Aperture. The more the merrier!

LR3.6 support for Canon 5D, Mark III

Does LR 3.6 support the new Canon 5D Mark III camera? LR4 should. I don't care if the camera metadata is in LR or not. I just want to process the Mark III images in LR3.6. Can't upgrade to LR 4 because it is only 64 bit.

Jimmy,
LR3.6 does not support the 5DMkIII raw format. You can download and use Adobe DNG Converter 7.1 to convert your 5D MkIII raw files to DNG and then import the DNGs into LR3.6.

Need to add the patch for Canon 5D mark III raw files to Photoshop. Where can I find it?

Hi Friends,
I am editing on my lap top for the first time since buying the Canon 5D Mark 3. My Photoshop (5.5) does not recognize the
raw files. Where can I download the update?
Thanks in advance,
Esther

The 5D Mark III was also supported in Camera Raw 6.7
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
which is compatible with CS5
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
In CS5 click Help > Updates should install Camera Raw 6.7.
If not, download it manually

CS5 Camera Raw for Canon 5D Mark III

I just downloaded CS5, but the Adobe Camera Raw does not appear to be available. I attempted to download ACR 6.7, but the download does not work. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to be able to work with Camera Raw?

Perhaps post this question in the Photoshop forum?!!

Canon 5D Mark III profile not found in Lens correction filter in PhotoShop CS6

I'm unable to find a profile for my Canon 5D Mark III within the PS CS6 lens correction filter. In fact, Canon isn't even available as a camera make option within the Search Criteria box, nor are any canon lenses. When I click the Search Online button, the prompt reads "No online profiles found". Thankfully, I have no problem within Lightroom 4 (the Mark III and lenses are recognized)-- however, I'd really like to be able to use the new Adaptive Wide Angle Lens filter within CS6, which needs the camera's EXIF data to function correctly. I'm using a new iMac OS X.7
Thanks in advance for any help that you may have to offer.

So that makes me wonder if Lightroom keeps its own Lens Correction folder and if so,perhaps you can copy its Canon folder to Photoshop CS6's lens correction folder.
If you still cannot find it,you can create your own custom profile or download it if it's already been posted.
This article should direct you to the profiler and downloader software. You will need to install Adobe Air to use the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader.

I tested my new Canon 5D Mark iii with my 85 1.2 L lens. The images look terrible! What gives?

I just purchased a new Canon 5D Mark iii body. It is replacing my 1Ds Mark ii. I tested it with my 85 1.2 L series lens. I took the RAW images into Capture One 7 to look at them. I was highly disturbed at what I saw. The quality was no where near my Canon 1Ds Mark ii. The images seemed somewhat soft even after applying a consderable amount of sharpening. They also looked flat and lifeless, even after pumping the contrast and adding Clarity. All in all they looked terrible! I must have something wrong, as I have read countless times that the new chip gives incredible results.
When first attempting to set up my camera I set it to Adobe RGB and for RAW images only. I noticed that you seemed forced into deciding on a specific "Picture Style". I left it on the default settting of "Standard". Should that effect my RAW files, or is that bypassed altogether when shooting RAW? I noticed that in "Standard" mode that some in camera sharpening was applied to the files. Is that my problem? Should that be turned down to zero, as I would normally do all my sharpening afterward either in Capture One 7 or other software. I shot all my test images with fast shutter speeds so that is not the issue. This lens is in perfect condition and has always produced incredibly sharp contrasty images. What on earth could be wrong? Any suggestions? I am a professional shooter for the last 20 years, so this is really perplexing me! Help!!!

Hi Corey,
Picture styles are ONLY applied to JPEG images or video. They are never applied to RAW. Canon will "tag" the meta-data of the image indicating picture style choices so that desktop processing software that understands those choices can apply it after-the-fact. But the point of "RAW" is that the camera will not perform any change to the image which would result in a loss of original data.
As for the soft focus... the good news there is probably nothing wrong with your camera or your lens. It probably just needs a slight focus calibration adjustment (you don't even need to send it in for this.)
The camera sensor is analogous to a movie screen. If the image is blurry... it's not the movie screen... it's the movie projector (or the focus). However... keeping with that analogy... suppose we focused the image perfectly... but then moved the project a foot closer to the screen. The result would be a slightly out-of-focus image even though there is actually nothing wrong with the projector.
The phase detect focus sensors are on the floor of your camera. When the reflex mirror is down, some light is bounced down into those sensors to focus the image. The distance to the AF sensors vs. the distance to the real sensor is supposed to be calibrated to match... but it's actually possible for the AF sensors to think the image is focused when it's really slightly out of focus on the sensor. For this reason, your camera has auto-focus micro-adjustment capability -- in other words this is something you can test and tune yourself. The REASON you might do it yourself is because it turns out it can be different for every lens (even two EF 85mm f/1.2L lenses in a row might have slightly different focus). This adjustment is only available on the mid-range and pro bodies -- it's part of the reason you buy a premium body. The camera can actually remember the AF adjustment for each lens uniquely.
See this article: http://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2008/12/this-lens-is-soft-and-other-myths
Or this article: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/essays/are_your_pictures_out_of_focus.shtml
BTW, to test the lens, I'd suggest getting a focus calibration target. You want controlled conditions when you do this -- don't shoot typical everday subjects because it wont be precise enough.
I use a DataColor Spyder "LensCal". The LensAlign products are also popular.

Any idea when Lightroom 4 will have support for the new Canon 5D Mark III?

I have a new Canon 5D Mark III. When can we expect support for this camera in Lightroom 4?

It's already in the DNG converter that's posted along with ACR 6.7 Beta. That indicates probably the next version.

Canon 5D Mark III Raw Files Not Viewable in Finder for Snow Leopard 10.6.8

System specs:
Computer: Mid 2008 Mac Pro - Dual Quad Core
OS: OS X 10.6.8 (includes the most recent Digital Camera Raw Updates)
Camera: Canon 5D Mark III
Problem:
Finder can not preview the thumbnails from this camera. While not that big of a deal (I can use Lightroom, Bridge, etc to view these) it is a bit of an annoyance when transfering files around from one volume to another.
According to this Apple support page - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3825?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US - I may need to update iPhoto, in order for the Digital Camera Raw Updates to work (specifically 3.12 from last year that addressd the 5D3's raw files).
As a pro photographer, I have ZERO use for iPhoto. But, I would be willing to spend the $15 for the newest version of iPhoto, if I knew that would solve the Finder thumbnail problem.
I would love a definitive answer, without having to call Apple and paying the "per-incident support fee."

I manually installed the latest RAW update (3.13 I think - for 10.6.8) .... worked for me.
(auto-update didn't do **** about raw update)
now aperture and os-x (10.6.8) show the 5dmk3 raw's.

HT3825 How to view RAW from Canon 5D mark III for OS 10.6

To 'Preview' RAW files from Canon 5D mark III, it is known that you need to install the Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.12 , but it can only be used with iphoto 9, which in turn only work in OS 10.7, so there is no way for 10.6 users to 'Preview' the RAW files? Please help if you no any other ways, thank you!

Which Adobe program?
Which version?
