Kolari Vision releases new drop-in filters for Canon EF to RF adapter and they’re available now

by Leave a Comment

While Kolari Vision might not have been the first company to announce the release of drop-in filters for the Canon EF to RF drop-in filter adapter, they are the first to bring them to market. Kolari Vision has now announced the release and immediate availability of a range of filters designed specifically for the Canon EF to RF drop-in filter adapter.

Breakthrough filters announced their filters for the Canon EF to RF drop-in filter adapter a couple of weeks ago, but they don’t ship until later this month. Kolari Vision, on the other hand, has some of their new range of drop-in filters shipping already. And they have aluminium frames, not plastic, for maximum durability.

Canon patent suggests they’re working on scaling down IBIS to use less space inside cameras

by 1 Comment

A Canon patent spotted by Canon News at the Japan Patent Office, suggests that Canon is looking to downsize their in-body image stabilisation system to make it smaller. While IBIS has obvious benefits, the drawback is that it takes up a lot more space inside a camera than simply housing a static sensor.

This might be why Canon hadn’t implemented IBIS into any of their mirrorless cameras before the launch of the EOS R5 and EOS R6. It simply made them too big. This patent might be for upcoming EOS M system cameras or simply to make future full-frame EOS R cameras a little smaller and lighter while still retaining the IBIS functionality.

No other changes have been mentioned.

They’ve also released firmware updates for seven of their RF mount lenses to improve compatibility with the in-body image stabilization found in the new Canon EOS R5 and EOS R6 mirrorless cameras for increased stability.

Canon’s new 85mm f/2 RF is a low budget stabilised portrait lens that also shoots macro

by 7 Comments

Along with the EOS R5, EOS R6, 600mm & 800mm f/11 primes and the 100-500mm zoom, Canon has today announced a new low budget alternative to their 85mm f/1.2 RF prime lenses for portrait shooters. The new Canon RF 85mm f/2 Macro IS STM is a stabilised lens that should work equally as well for portraits as it does for macro.

Canon says the reason for going with a portrait macro for this focal length was to meet the demands of customers, particularly wedding shooters, who need to get those detail shots as well as regular portraits.
