AE1 Canon lenses

I have old Canon AE1 lenses. Do you sell the bodysuits that match my lenses and if not there are adapters that can be used?

This a community of owners of Canon - so may not necessarily be the answer to your question by someone from Canon.

Your AE - 1 used Canon FD series lenses.  These have been made exclusively for 35mm cameras and lenses are entirely mechanical.  The opening is controlled by the mechanical lever that interacts with the body and the focus is manual.

Canon switched to the EOS system that is electronic.  Most of EOS cameras have autofocus motors in order (there are some exceptions) and the interface between the camera and the body is now electronic, not mechanical.

Canon brings more cameras that use FD lenses (as Canon does more than film cameras.)

Although it is "technically" possible to get a (part 3) adapter to allow you to use a FD lens with EOS enclosure, it is not advisable. New lenses are much better than the old glass, the camera cannot control the aperture on a lens of FD series boxes include more development AIDS in the viewfinder (for example, the split-Prism focus) being almost all autofocus goals (you can get dull 3rd party that offer some AIDS focus).

The General recommendation is that you probably don't want use your old glass with a new camera.

I also still have my AE-1 and some FD lenses... but he is for the most part now on the Board to provide certain nostalgia of a different age of photography and as a conversation piece.

  • Problems with (films) coating of the lens on the surface of the canon lenses.

    I read many comments here about how to clean the surfaces of the lens... I wonder if canon films that they promote as do wonderful things for development are not so great for cleaning? I bought an expensive lens not for long and cleaned with either lens clothing tending my opthomologist after my appointment to look for my glasses... I collect these sweet little squares, whenever I have an appointment to the eye because they are made for the purpose of cleaning of lenses... Houston is a very humid climate and after doing some night shots the lens seems sticky and so I polished with the soft cloth... I have not added any sort of cleaning liquid... but I noticed when I had finished there was a blue smear on the entire surface of the lens... Really? I have not used any more pressure than the kind of pressure that you can use to clean your glasses.  This bluish smears can be removed or is permanent damage to a dear surfface...? Now I must say that I didn't notice that this smear has affectd of my photos... I found one in post processing which presents a particular lighting problem which could be linked to the surface of the lens... Other people have had problems with the 'coatings', which are added to the surface of the lens? I would like to add at least two lens more... but I'm afraid to invest again if I rish damage the surface of the lens even Polish with a soft cloth?

    Well, I think because I became so addicted to photography...

    What kind of dirty? Hit by a splash of muddy water and you hunt elephants? Or a more down to Earth 'footprints on my front element' dirty? So late, you can use a little liquid and a wipe of lens for lens cleaning tissue. Blow gently in the dirt with a blower of squeeze and lightly sweep any 'chunks' tenacious with a fine brush for lenses, usually sold as a combination tool. Repeat as needed until you are lint or grease issues, then use the liquid and dry.

  • Profile of Canon lenses

    I just upgraded my old Canon camera eos 5 d mark I with a less old eos 5 d mark II. Now, I've discovered that when I use Lightroom cc to apply the lens profile to pictures taken with my previous camera, I see a long list of objectives, including my ef 16-35 f4 zoom. If I try to apply the profile of lenses for a photo taken with my 'new' Mark II, I see a list of objectives to be very short and my 16-35 missing. I shoot only raw and I use a Mac with the new Sierra of OS.

    Can you help me?

    Antonio

    Despite your shooting raw, you view a non - raw file if you don't have just a short list of manufacturers of lenses and a short list of lenses under each manufacturer.

    If you think about it in not the correct analysis, please include a screenshot of LR showing the extension of the file, as well as the list of manufacturers of lenses that see you.

    Objective JPEG profiles are not provided for the Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 and Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 and perhaps other lenses. That is why the list is shorter. You will need the Lens profile Downloader allows you to add profiles from JPEG lenses for these lenses.

  • Canon lenses

    Hello!

    I need pro tips on the comparison of 2 lenses as follows:

    EF-s 10-18mm lens accordance with f.4.5 IS STM VS lens ef-s 10-22mm F3. 5 4.5 USM

    sharpness of the corners on 10-22

    outdoor game seems equal

    10-18 IS a but much cheaper

    10 - 22A mount metal and plastic 10-18

    etc...

    but mostly have "IS" the system is very important and imaging quality?

    concerning

    A practical difference is that 10-22mm, with an angle of view equivalent 16-35mm on a 35 mm-full-frame camera, ultra wide angle to normal scale. In 'classic' 35mm photography, angle of view seen by a 35mm lens is very versatile. When someone publishes a survey on popular focal lengths for Prime lenses for cameras 'full-frame', 35mm usually seems to win. On APS - C cameras, the angle of view equivalent to 35mm is obtained to 22mm.

    I use often my 10-22mm to 22mm for this normal range angle of view. The most recent 10-18mm EF-S is a wonderful lens, but it is buzzing with ultra wide scale, makes it less useful than my goal for the day.

    Regarding the Image stabilization, well, it is never a bad thing to have, but I did find myself wishing for that, when you use my 10-22 mm. I have, indeed, do you find Image stabilization useful with my Macro 2.8 L 24-105L and 100mm lenses. If I shot the video, I might well want to Image stabilisation in a lens ultra wide angle.

    When I bought my 10-22mm, 10-18mm was not yet announced, much less available, so I have not studied the 10-18mm.

    Regarding the advice of 'pro', well, I'm not in the field of photography, but make evidence/medical legal documentary images for official purposes, in my capacity as a public servant and strive for results 'pro '. I use my 10-22mm for many of these images; my other goals 'work' being the 100mm f/2.8 L Macro IS and 24-105 f / 4 L IS.

  • What kind of lenses (both Canon and after walking) fits my Canon Rebel T1i?

    I used my kit lens to my RebelT1i and it works fine, but now I'm ready to start investing in new lenses, but with all the different types available, I'm not sure how know what suits. EF, EOS, etc, if I choose to invest in 'other than canon' lenses is there a way to know how to choose one that suits you my rebel? I am even more confused when it comes to buy filters. I know that he should ' t matter with filters if it is EOS, the EF or what ever, but if I wanted to buy a f or polorized stop or a UV filter, for example, should I buy a new one for each lens? are there adapters for them to adapt? And just so interested in opinion, do you prefer lenses macro, or tubes macr and why?
    Thank you!

    Your camera EOS, which has an APS - C size sensor, is compatible with all EF or EF-S mount. Goals EF - S are not compatible with the 5 d, 6 d, 1 d and 1Ds series cameras as well as 10 days and older.

    Here is a list of the names of the factory lens that are compatible with your body EOS (only for APS - C in bold).

    Canon - EF-S and EF

    Sigma - DC and DG lenses.

  • where the canon L lenses are made

    Hello, I want to ask where are the canon lenses L. do all L lenses are manufactured in Japan, while the other (non - L) manufactured in Taiwan and China.

    Thanks a lot for your answers

    Almost surely L lenses are made in the Japan, only probable exception is L lenses kit 24-105mm from the _may_ be made outside the Japan. For sure some other non - L lenses are made outside the Japan, some objectives are even made in multiple locations.

    According to the date code, ALL 24-105 mm lenses I've dealt with were manufactured in Utsunomiya, in the Japan.

    The first letter in the date code on the L lenses indicates where the goal was made.

    U = Utsunomiya, Japan

    O = Oita, Japan

    F = Fukushima, Japan

    There is not a date code starting with ' t "for Taiwan.

    No, they were not of best quality.

    Lenses of today are made with the help of modern computer design and manufacturing techniques this increases quality and reduces cost.

    No, in my opinion that's not worth buying an adapter to use your old Canon camera EOS current lenses. The main reason is to maintain the infinity focus that the adapter should have an optical element which will not match the quality of your old lenses, still less the quality you will get new lenses.

    Instead of spending your money on modern lenses, in particular STM of Canon lenses. Lens Canon STM line corresponds to the image quality of their L lenses of first generation at a fraction of the cost.

    The lens on the VIXIA HF R60 is not interchangeable.  Also, this model is not compatible with conversion lenses and adapters.

  • Lenses for the version of the EOS Rebel Film will work on digital

    Will be Sigma and enemy purchased EF lenses a work of camera EOS Rebel Film Version on the new digital boxes?

    As already mentioned the EF lenses will work.

    Sigma lenses might work. And if Sigma lenses don't work not you may or may not be able to bring rechipped. And even if you can it might not be worth the expense.

    Something to keep in mind is the design and lens manufacturing has come a long way since the time of the rebel movie. Current consumer grade Canon lenses STM match the image quality of their L lenses since that time. So while you can use older lenses may not want.

    Of course, there are a few old gems that hold up well, even today, the EF 85 mm f/1.8 comes to mind.

  • About T3I EF lenses

    I just want to know if my calculations are correct on this point. This is the focal point of equavalent of some privileged lenses EF on the T3i. I multiply by 1.6 x culture right?

    24mm EF would be 38mm
    30mm EF would be 48 mm
    85mm EF would be 136mm

    Is that correct or should I go?

    Kolourl3lind wrote:

    I was wrong. BY EOS, I meant ARE full frame camera and not Cameras EOS Rebel EF-S.

    Also, pass my T3I and 6 d very often when I photograph an event. Photographed it hard when I don't have the same point of view using the same lens wiith each camera.  What I'm trying to do is buy a first decent Wideangle to fit on the T3i. This will allow me use the T3i just for wide angle of shooting at a focal distance and get photos decent quaility compared to 6 J using a zoom lens.

    It's the best configuration, I can think that it's just easier for us my 6 d lenses and switch instead to carry two cameras.

    Well, now it is more clear what you are doing, and you go back between the two formats.

    However, he has very little of primes that are ultra wide on a full frame and still very broad camera on a culture's APS - C sensor. 24mm is a good wide angle on a full frame camera, but only behaves like a slightly large 'normal' when used on a crop sensor camera. I have and use a Canon EF 20 mm... fairly wide on full frame. It's nice, but only a moderately wide lens (32mm FF equivalent) on a sharecropper.

    There are Canon 14 mm (origin and Mark II). And there is a manual focus only Zeiss 15 mm ZE. There are also a few glasses of 17mm. These are quite expensive, however. And, in a culture a 17mm camera sensor is only moderately wide.

    In the past the Tamron and Sigma made 14mm full frame compatible lenses. Those who were of an image quality questionable and abandoned several years ago... so will be available used, if you can find them.

    There is also a 14mm Samyang/Rokinon lens which is full frame compatible and affordable, but the update manual and operation manual only, so more time to work with. It sells for a little over $ 300 and also lie in Bower, dotted, ProOptic, Vivitar and other brand names (Vivitar called 13mm, even if it's the same lens.) This lens has strong "mustache" distortion, but there is software that can correct.

    Another possible consideration, all 14, 15mm and many the 17 mm... and some of the largest of the full frame capable ultra wide angle zoom, too... tend to have front lens elements very strongly convex which allow not the standard to mount vissants filters.

    There are simply not many really wide Prime lenses for crop sensor cameras. And most of the primes and zooms that are wide on FF, are only slightly or moderately wide on culture.

    If you want to use the lens wide angle on the T3i onlycrop sensor, there are a few good zooms you should really consider.

    Canon recently introduced an EF-S 10-18mm IS STM lens which is a real bargain priced at $300 and even less for sale currently. I have not yet used, but have heard a lot of good reports. No, is not as sharp edge on board as others, but it is quite surprisingly good for the price (which is at least $100 less than any other ultra wide-angle zoom... $200 or more at most).

    Canon EF-S 10-22mm USM has been around for a few years, sells for about $650, and in my opinion is one of the best ultrawides to cultures of any manufacturer photo sensor. It is very well fixed, strong side by side with well controlled chromatic aberration, reasonably good quality of construction, able to use the standard 77mm filter and has exceptionally good flare control.

    Sigma offers two versions of 10-20mm and the widest of all in a 8-16 mm. A 10-24 mm Tamron. Tokina has offered the fastest in a 11-16/2.8, but also a 12-24/4, (which are now discontinued, but can still be found). Tokina is currently introducing new models of 11 - 20/2.8 and 12-28/4.

    However, all of the above zooms are 'just culture' (at least on a technical level, see below).

    If you want to use the lens on your T3i and 6 d...

    Canon of nine 11-24 2.8 L / would work fine... but is very expensive (almost $3000).

    Sigma offers a 12-24mm, which is full frame and crop sensor compatible. It is rather expensive and has one important of distortion.

    There are various 16-28mm, 16-35mm, 17-35mm, 17-40mm which are full-frame compatible... tho, all this is just moderately wide on the T3i culture.

    An interesting possiblitity... I can tell you for certain that a Tokina 12-24/4 is a good lens on cameras of the harvest, and that it is partially usable on full frame. I tested it as wide as 17 or 18 mm on my 5DII, until it begins to show the vignetting. I understand the Tokina 11-16/2.8 is usable on FF, too... but only she is put in 16mm. (I haven't used so can't say on the two new models of Tokina.)

    FOR INFO:

    Colloquial for Canon EOS Digital cameras is "APS - C / 1.6 X crop" and "full frame / 1.0 X.

    Or just 'crop sensor', 'culture' or 'cropper' vs 'full frame' or 'FF '.

    Canon lenses are ' EF/full frame compatible' or 'EF-S/APS-C only of cultures '.  Only Canon's EF-S objectives using a variation on the EF mount, designed to not allow lenses to physically join the cameras 'incompatible '.

    There is no "ES" or even "EF" cameras and few people to refers to «Caméras EF - S» That's because the cameras APS - C or crop can use both EF and EF-S objectives... While the cameras full frame can only objective EF of use. Objective EF - S will rise not yet physically on the camera models full frame as your 6 d (nor on the third cannon used to provide format: APS - H or 1.3 X.hich also EF lenses require).

    Home objective third-party manufacturers there are not EF-S-objectives. Sigma, Tokina and Tamron all only use EF mount, regardless. Although they may be possible to mount on a camera full frame, many glasses they offer always are "cultures only"... They do not produce an image circle large enough to cover the entire surface of a full frame sensor, it will strongly vignette. Yet some work partially (as indicated above).

    Canon EF, "Di" of Tamron, Tokina "FX" and "DG" lenses Sigma are all sensor full frame and compatible cultures.

    Canon EF-S, 'Di II' Tamron and Tokina "DX" Sigma "DC" lenses are all cultures only.

    I hope this helps!
