Professional Canon EOS R With Hybrid EF/RF Mount Might Have A Moving Sensor

Professional Canon EOS R Mirrorless
View Post

We got an update to the rumor suggesting Canon is working on a professional Canon EOS R body with a lens mount that can fit both EF and RF lenses.

This professional Canon EOS R body is said to play in the same league as the EOS-1D X series, i.e. the most professional tier in Canon’s gear lineup. This makes more sense than you might think at first glance. Given how committed Canon is to the EOS R system, an EOS R body with hybrid lens mount isn’t that unlikely in our opinion. And even if it is an engineering challenge, and for sure it is, Canon has the means and skills to build it.

We have been told (thanks) that the professional EOS R body with hybrid EF/RF mount will have a moving sensor, i.e. a sensor mounted on a mechanical system that can move the sensor forth and back to suit the different flange distance of EF and RF lenses (the distance between the lens mounted on the camera body and the camera’s image sensor).

We guess a moving sensor is the most feasible engineering approach to build a camera with hybrid EF/RF lens mount. Other technical solutions appear to be more difficult to realize. Given that you need to change the distance between the lens and the image sensor, what else could you do? Maybe moving the lens mount back and forth from the camera body? Doesn’t seem to us to be the better approach. Other feasible engineering approaches? Can’t think of any. I’m looking forward to spot a Canon patent application for a moving sensor.

Canon EOS R Review – Here Is Why Dustin Abbott Bought One

Canon Eos R Review
View Post

In this Canon EOS R review, one of our favorite gear reviewers, Dustin Abbott, tells the reasons that moved him to buy an EOS R.

He says:

Canon has continued to support the EOS R and expand it’s capabilities via firmware.  This includes vastly improved Eye AF real-time tracking (which now lags only behind Sony but is better than any other alternative), reduces the latency between autofocus and display, and added the inclusion of an intervalometer and ability to create time-lapse movies in camera.  Beyond that, Canon has also started to deliver on what was clearly the greatest strength of the platform – the new RF mount and all its potential.  While the bargain lenses for the RF mount are still few (though thankfully some third party support has started to come), Canon has delivered a number of their very best lenses yet on the RF mount.  There’s been enough positive changes Canon EOS R that I’ve finally bought in and added an EOS R to my own kit. I’m pretty much done with DSLRs at this point and ready to shift completely into the mirrorless space.  I’ve decided to release a new video which focuses on the positive changes to the EOS R and the RF platform and why it’s worth a second look in late 2019.  I’ll also share some photos from the Canon RF 50mm F1.2L below as I start my review process on that lens.

Astronomik Introduces Clip Filters For Canon EOS R Bodies

Astronomik Filters
View Post

Astronomik (website) announced new clip filters for cameras in the EOS R lineup (EOS R, RP, and Ra).

Press release:

Astronomik presents Clip Filter for Canon EOS R, Ra and RP

We are proud to present our latest development to you today:

Astronomik Clip-Filter for the mirrorless full format cameras EOS R and RP

The new clip filters can be used with all lenses on the camera body without any modifications. The clip filters are optimized for use with normal camera lenses and telescopes.

All Astronomik filters are now also available as Clip filters EOS R!

The Astronomik CLS-CCD is our advice as an ideal “all-round filter”: The CLS-CCD largely suppresses artificial light pollution and enables deep, long-exposures even from locations with strong light pollution while giving your natural colors!

Beside the CLS-CCD the Astronomik emission line filters H-alpha, SII and OIII with 12nm and 6nm FWHM are available. The Astronomik ProPlanet 642 BP, 742 and 807 give the the infrared photographer a wide range of filters at his disposal. The UV+IR blockers L-1, L-2 and L-3 complete the family.

More information about the new clip filters can be found on our website: https://www.astronomik.com/en/clip-filter/clip-filter-fur-canon-eos-r-eos-rp.html
