    Hi Ken, great presentation and a modern looking lens. I liked the way Canon packed the lens to make its safe journey to you Ken. Nice case that goes with it, and photographers of all levels will enjoy this lens. Thanks Ken 😊

    What kind of customizing do you need? Well, the lens bounces around inside the case unless you place the lens collar support inside the case. Consider using it :)

    That focal length and aperture make so much sense.

    Wow! What an amazing piece of equipment! But honestly, for that kind of money I‘d expect nothing but purest excellence from either Canon or Nikon. If this thing would feel cheap in any oh so little way, I‘d be very disappointed. I am so looking forward to see some pictures you‘re going to take with this! :) Godspeed!

      @KenRockwellTV  Před 2 měsíci

      It’s all explained in the descripton: iPhone 15 pro max www.kenrockwell.com/apple/iphone-15-pro-max.htm and the audio was with special pro mics (links in the video description) using a special technique and a separate recorder to render all the handling sounds in glorious 4D stereo. Thanks!

    As the there is some space behind he back element, it seems they could also have offered that lens fro the EF mount, but they did not. That is very annoying, because the RF version can only be used with RF cameras, while the EF version could have been used for cameras from several brands with an adapter. That is annoying for such an expensive lens. I think lenses like that should come with a built-in EF to RF adapter where the silver ring is now.

    • @IlyaBlay
      @IlyaBlay Před 2 měsíci

      I don't believe that's actually possible. The optics wouldn't work because the sensor has to be much closer to work with an RF lens and the mirror box would be in the way on a DSLR.

    • @skyscraperfan
      @skyscraperfan Před 2 měsíci

      @@IlyaBlay My idea was that you could unmount the adapter, if you want to use the lens on a DSLR.

    • @IlyaBlay
      @IlyaBlay Před 2 měsíci

      @@skyscraperfan So you're talking about essentially an EF lens with a removable EF/RF adapter? That would be way bigger, but if you want that, you can just get an EF lens and an EF/RF adapter, no? That exists.

    • @KenRockwellTV
      @KenRockwellTV  Před 2 měsíci

      Good point and it probably could be done, but DSLRs have been obsolete for years and no resources have been expended on developing them in favor of developing more and better RF gear.

    • @kpopfanphotos
      @kpopfanphotos Před měsícem +1

      But why though? No manufacturer is making lenses for DSLR's anymore. DSLR is dead. They're stlil good cameras, but mirrorless was the future and it's been here for the last 4 years or so now. Canon has mentioned years ago that they stopped their R&D into EF with the release of the R5 and R6.

      I am, but this is just CZcams. You ought to see the rubbish they gets millions of views! But honestly I just shot a review video today after I wrote my written review at www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/lenses/100-300mm.htm. This unboxing was a month ago and I have to write the review before I can shoot a video of it. Thanks!
