-= Canon EOS R owners unite! Post photos and discuss.

why am i having such a hard time getting little kids walking/running towards me in focus? I recently tried servo zone and face tracking with back button focus. I have the shutter release as the priority (not focus--pretty sure focus is even worse). Any tips? These kids are coming towards me in a predictable line and it's not even that fast...!

post your setting...

If you don't reply when someone asks you a question right after you posted, your question can get lost. Although, your question would probably fit that other EOS R tech thread.

trying to decide on the rf 50mm and the rf 85mm. Anyone have experience using both of these?

I have them both, they are both great, but use the RF 50 much more. I have/had the EF version of both and they are great, but the RF ones are a step up...

Have both too, but use the RF85L more
Currently I am using it mostly as a candid (!) lens/camera combo with the EOS R, genrally in low(er) light situations, mostly at events. Works very well, actually. And the images are to die for .

The RF50L I have been using more as a lens for wider shots at events, but in reality it is not really wide enough for great overviews, where I prefer 24L or even the Samyang 10 mm . In the past I used the EF 50L for general photgraphy, small group portraits or full length portraits and landscapes, but haven't had the opportunity for those yet.

Kind regards, Wim

Tomorrow is the day. Hopefully my 70-200 ships. I saw CPW was still advertising first batch shipping, and I pre-ordered a couple weeks ago. Can’t wait to check this beast out. I should probably list my EF version to help pay for this thing...

New firmware by years end?

i also want the new rf 70-200 lens but i wonder if they plan on releasing an extender

Great question! You're right. Strange we haven't seen anything about that.

I still have my 100-400 and 2x III so I don’t need anything along side the RF 70-200. I got notice the shipping label was created for mine today, but it hasn’t been scanned yet.

i have an older ef 2.8 70-200 but it doesn't work the best so im debating on what to do. buy used ef or get new

I'm in that same boat also. ߘ

I was excited to read about these adapters as I have an FD 50mm 3.5 macro that renders nicely on my 6d. It should be even better on the R with no glass in the adapter. I got the Gutto but when I attached it and the lens to the R the shutter won’t fire. The camera shows MF but no focus peaking indicators and no shutter release. Is there a setting that needs to be changed?

i believe u can select release stutter without lens in one of the menus.

I am sure extenders will come - but we're only now getting a lens that could benefit from one, no point announcing one before they can be used!
