MACRO for CANON 70 d

Hello, please I have a new Canon 70 d and I am a user of semi-professional hobby.

Could you please recommend me a Macro lens to buy? Don't want the most expensive/professional but has some great ideas to create great photos of some insects and flowers.

Thank you!

I don't have a 'connection', but I can explain it well enough probably.

If something is 1:1 scale (which means full scale) what it really means is the size of the image recorded on the sensor itself is the same size as the subject in real life.

To give you an example from the real world, a penny in the United States has a diameter of 19mm.  The dimensions of the sensor on your 70 d are about 15mm of height of 22.5 mm wide.

This means that if you took a picture of a US penny to the size of the scale 1:1, then the penny would simply * sentence * adjustment in the horizontal direction, but would fit in the dimension vertical (a little of the penny would be cropped).

If the objective was only able to scale 1:2 (half), the penny would be would seem smaller.

There is no strict definition of 'macro', but purists would generally not consider a goal like being a macro lens 'real' unless he could handle the 1:1 scale.  There are many uses General telephoto zoom lenses that have range macro (a claim asserted by the marketing department).  This close-up range generally allows a maximum size of 1:4 scale perhaps (and sometimes not even that great.)

There is a whole world of close-up photography techniques and many techniques do not use a macro lens.

Macro lenses generally tend to have detail particularly high ability to solve.

  • extension for Canon 6 d tube

    Hello, I'm looking for an extension tube for my Canon 6 d. I found a few different brand offering a set 13, 21 and 31 mm sets. They don't specify if they support the auto focus. I would have preferred a set that support of the auto focus.

    Do you have a suggestion? Thank you

    The tube macro set that includes the rather odd size 13mm, 21mm and 31mm made by Zeikos and sells a whole bunch of different brands (Bower, Vivitar, Jessops, ProOptic and many others). There are two qualities of these tubes, one with metal bayonet comes up and a less expensive version with plastic bayonet rises (as have some kit lenses). The bodies of these tubes are plastic and they support control AF and openness. All the facts for Canon will be fit very well on the your 6 d EF mount (someone with a Canon of harvest/EF-S camera will have to take care to buy later versions of these that support this mount if they want to use with the EF-S lenses, some more before those who do not). These tubes to sell for less than $100 US (the bayonet plastic are often closer to US $50). Three things worry me to their subject: they seem not very durable, I've heard some reports of their cracking over time. Release latch is a little beyond and can be accidentally pressed. And I've seen a few reports of them "frying" the circuits of the Canon 5 d models. The latter seemed to be very isolated cases and 31 mm tube seemed the culprit. I have not seen all the reports of problems with other Canon models.

    Opteka is doing a set of tube which is similar in construction - plastic body with mount bayonet metal - which also sells for less than $100 USD, but includes more traditional formats of the tubes of 12 mm, 20 mm and 36 mm. They also support the AF control and openness. The release button is slightly off, but I haven't used these and can't tell if it's much better that the tubes Ziekos (etc.). They are a relatively new feature, so only time will tell how sustainable they are.

    The Kenko tubes set's metal body and metal bayonet mounts, more comparable to the tubes that Canon are available (but only individually). Kenko all contained 12mm, 20mm and 36mm and sells for about $200 US. Older versions of this set (labeled "CA/AF") are the only mount EF lenses. Current version marked ' CA/AFs' (note the small 's') is used with the EF and EF-S. Of course, either will work on 6 d and EF lenses. The Kenko tubes also support the AF control and openness.

    Canon offers only individual tubes: 12 mm and 25 mm. The older original type are EF. The current 'Mark II' are EF a EF-S compatible. The construction is very similar to the Kenko and totally supports the AF control and openness. Indeed, Kenko also offers individual tubes in the same size. Both the Canon and the Kenko use a release button recessed enough that it is difficult to accidentally fall. Currently, the Canon tubes sell for about $85 for the 12mm and $140 for the 25mm.

    Finally, there are macro extension tubes really inexpensive who do not have electronic contacts to provide the AF control and openness. They are usually all metal construction, use different locking mechanisms and sell for less US $25 (sometimes even less than $10). Sizes included in a set usually are 12 mm, 20mm and 36mm.

    To be honest, who doesn't not AF during macro shooting is not really all that big a deal. It is often easier to focus manually blows high magnification. I often switch off AF and several of my macro lenses are put to manual focus only. Focus you by moving all camera and lens more closely or to keep him away from the subject. The lens ring, kind of serves more as a zoom, defining the degree of expansion. The fine adjustment of the development is done with the movement of the whole platform. This can be done by hand, or there are tools such as the stages of macro development prevail. allowing that with a high degree of accuracy... or with a lens that has a tripod mounting ring, if you use the Arca-Swiss quick release system, it is possible to use a plate of extra long lens like a development of "slider".

    More of concern is the ability to directly control the aperture, which is done electronically with gun and camera objectives, through controls on the camera body and the electronic contacts linking the two. High magnification means shallow depth of field, closing the diaphragm is often necessary. There are ways to vary the opening with the really cheap tubes that do not have electronic contacts, even with the modern camera and lens. But it's a pain in the anus. Personally, I would only use and recommend the really cheap tubes for use on adapted lenses, vintage which have a control ring of the aperture on the lens itself.

    But most tubes discussion (Canon, Kenko, Zeikos/etc. and Opteka) provide electronic contacts, so control AF and the opening are fully supported.

    What purpose do you intend to use with the camera and extension tubes? More focal length, the extension you will need to significantly increase the magnification. But too short focal length can put you too close to the subject. Mostly for use on a FF camera a lens in the 70mm to 135mm range is a good compromise of adequate working distance, but handholdable and not requiring not too much expansion. You can stack many tubes for a whole bunch of extension, but it can become risky with too many tubes. Best to use as little as possible.

    I'm a big fan of extension tubes... were their use with various systems for 25 + years and always have some on hand just in case they are needed. They can also improve the ability to narrow focus of a large telephoto lens. They are easy to use and having no light inside, have little negative effect on the quality of the image.

    I currently use with my kit Canon Canon 12 mm (2 X), 25mm and an older set of Kenko. Over the years, I have used lenses from 20 mm to 500 mm, 24-70, 70-200 and 28-135 mm Zoom. I sometimes use with macro lenses, too... to stimulate their magnification higher that 1:2 or 1:1 the lens alone offers.

    My recommendation... Buy a good game and you're going to buy them only once. There is little wear and macro extension tubes are versatile, useful and easy to slip into the corner of your camera with you bag all the time.  IMO the Kenko game offers the best value (but I have not seen or used the new Opteka set has been presented, so can't really compare).

  • Driver for Canon Pixma IP4600 printer

    I had to reinstall Windows on my PC due to obtaining a bad virus.  My Canon Pixma IP4600 printer worked before the re - install, but now windows can't find a driver.  I spoke to Canon and they said that they offer is no longer supported, but Windows should continue to support and drivers must come from there.  I tried a driver through Control Panel, but it is said that a driver is not available.  This printer is not that old, so I can't believe that there is no driver available to all.  Can you help me please?

    I'm sorry, but as I explained Microsoft does not write drivers for Canon products.

    Microsoft writes and provides drivers for their own products.

    All drivers that Microsoft may provide in their OS for Canon products provided by Canon.

    I suggest that contact you Canon and get them to set this output or first try the Vista drivers.

    Kind regards.

  • Windows 7 x 64 Driver for Canon i9100 printer

    When I try to install my Canon i9100 printer on my HP laptop running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, Windows is unable to locate a driver.  Visit the Canon Website, I find an update for Windows driver module.  Cannon wrote that the printer MUST be installed using Windows Updater before their update of the driver can be installed.  I tried everything, but I can not get Windows to find a driver.  Windows Update says that my computer is Up To Date.

    What I am doing wrong?

    Thank you

    David

    I'm also not able to install the necessary drivers from Microsoft to connect my Canon i9100 printer.  Can you direct me to the correct driver site?  I have a windows 7 64-bit operating system.

    When Canon says that "your printer must be installed through Microsoft Update before you download and use this module", this does not mean you should run Windows Update (or Microsoft Update).

    The Support Engineer's view is not correct: Windows Update can't find a new driver for a device that is not yet installed.

    A, Normal mode

    What does the message mean, is that your computer must be connected to the Internet when you try to install the Canon i9100.  When you connect the printer, Windows should search for a driver.  When it cannot find a driver locally, you should get a pop-up message asking permission to connect to Windows Update to search for a driver.  You should allow this.  Windows should then find the driver online, download it and complete the installation.

    If this does not work, you can get the driver in one of two ways.

    B. manually through Windows Update.

    1. Unplug the printer from the computer
    2. Click Start > devices and printers
    3. Click "add a local printer.
    4. Click "Use an existing port" and leave the default to LPT1, and then click Next
    5. Select the Canon in the list of manufacturers
    6. Confirm that there is no entry for the i9100 in the list of printers, and then click 'Windows Update'
    7. Wait... This may take some time... when it's done, check the i9100 is now listed
    8. Leave the printer Installation Wizard
    9. Connect the printer to a USB port and it should now install correctly

    C. go to the Windows Update Catalog

    Even if the above methods should work, you also learned how to https://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspx using Internet Explorer only , and search for "Canon i9100.  You should get 5 hits.  Click on each of the drivers for Windows 7.  Look at the line that reads "Architecture."  If you have Windows 7 32 bit, you need the x 86 version.  If you have Windows 7 64 bit, you need the AMD64 version.  The procedure to install a driver got that way is a bit complex.  If the methods A or B do not work, post to get further instructions.
