I have a consumer Canon camera. Can I put a professional L-series lens on it?

Canon EOS Beginners' FAQ III - Lenses
The major issue you really have to be concerned about is weight, since a really heavy lens can strain the lens mount. The answer is to support the heavy lens by the lens itself - just let the camera hang off the back of the lens. The weight of the camera is not going to strain the lens mount. This applies to all low to midrange EOS cameras, since even those cameras with metal lens mounts have steel mounts attached to plastic body frames.

What is a Canon L-series lens and why is it a big deal?

Canon EOS Beginners' FAQ III - Lenses
Canon sell a number of lenses in a special series they refer to as L for “luxury.” These are their most expensive and highest-quality lenses, and are readily identifiable by the red stripe painted around the end of the barrel. L series lenses offer higher optical quality than their non-L equivalents, and have an important technical aspect in common.

What is the difference between a standard camera and an EV series camera?

Rad-icon Imaging Corporation - Frequently Asked Questions
The simple answer is that our standard detectors are rated for the 10-50 kV energy range, whereas the EV series detectors are rated up to 160 kV. However, the actual situation is a bit more complicated. All x-ray detectors deteriorate over time as a function of the accumulated x-ray dose to the detector. The higher the x-ray energy, the faster the detector deteriorates.

Is Mega Man: The Series canon?

Mega Man: The Series | FAQ
No. It is neither official nor canon. Quite frankly I consider only things created by one of Capcom’s own development teams to be “canon” and I am not one of those. If anyone tries to tell you the books are canon kindly correct them because I do not make that claim. The Series is merely my own portrayal of the Mega Man series and characters.

How should I mount my video camera and lens?

Machine Vision Guide - Frequently Asked Questions
Machine vision optics should be mounted firmly but should not be stressed by excessive force. Do not rely on the camera C-mount thread to support heavy lenses. Either mount the lens and let the camera be supported by the lens, or provide support for both. Avoid over-tightening lens mounting clamps.

Can I put more than one filter on my camera lens?

Tiffen Filters FAQs - Tiffen.Com
Yes, you can. Our screw in filters ( except for the the WID types ), are double threaded and can be screwed together. Stacking filters can create different effects and bring out your creativity. The only caution is that as you put more filters on the lens you can create vignetting or the cutting off of the corners of your picture. This can happen more with wide angle lenses. We do not make every filter for this purpose.

How does the Canon EF 100 400 L IS compares to the Canon EF 70 200 L f/2.8 IS?

FAQ: Canon EF 100 400 L IS at All Day I Dream About Photogra...
This one is unanimous, all the forums threads I’ve read agrees that the Canon EF 70 200 L f/2.8 wipes the floor, or if you prefer wins hands down against the Canon EF 100 400 L IS in their overlapping zoom range. Well it depends on the teleconverter itself, it seems that the Canon EF 70 200 L with a 1.4x has a slightly better image quality than the 100 400 L, but that the Canon EF 100 400 L IS wins if you decide to add a 2x teleconverter to the Canon EF 70 200 IS L f/2.8

Should I buy a non-Canon (third party) lens?

Canon EOS Beginners' FAQ III - Lenses
Despite Canon’s vigorous advertising campaign against third-party lenses a lot of people happily use lenses made by Tamron, Tokina and Sigma (and lenses with other brandnames but probably built by one of those three). And there’s one really good reason for this - the third party lenses are almost always much much cheaper than equivalent offerings from Canon. So. Should you buy a third party lens? It’s not a simple yes/no issue, so here are some points to consider.

Can I use the Canon 100mm macro lens for portraits?

Canon EOS Beginners' FAQ III - Lenses
Absolutely. The 100mm 2.8 macro and macro USM lenses are both excellent portrait lenses in addition to being great macro lenses. The only problem is that they’re extremely sharp lenses, and some people prefer softer lenses for portraiture, particularly of women. If you’re in that camp you could always slap a soft focus filter onto the lens.

Will my Canon lens cap fit on the end of the LensMate Adapter?

LensMateOnline - F A Q
No. For the G1/G2, the Canon lens cap is a nonstandard size designed to fit the trim ring (that you remove when attaching any adapter) at the base of the lens only. With the LensMate adapter on, any standard 49mm snap-in, screw-on or slide-on lens cap will fit. For the G3/G5, you may choose from many standard 52mm or 58mm caps (depending on which size G3/G5 adapter you are using) including the "clip-in" type we sell.

What's the best upgrade for a Canon EF-S 18-55mm kit lens?

Lens Test Archive and Reviews
What are you looking to upgrade? If you need IS, get the 17-55mm f2.8. If you can't afford the 17-55, and you really, really need IS – and you're not that unhappy with the resolution of the kit lens – get the Canon 17-85mm IS, but know this: it is considerably softer, and up to two stops slower, than the excellent Tamron 17-50mm f2.8. the time of writing, there is no Canon equivalent of the excellent VR (image stabilised) long Nikon zooms.

I have a Nikon or Canon SLR kit lens. Can I use the filter?

M A G I C - F I L T E R S
Yes! Many of you will have got these lenses with your DSLR and will want to put them to use underwater. Both the Canon 17-85mm and Nikon 18-70mm will work well with the filter. However neither are really excellent quality lenses for UW photography and therefore we do not supply 67mm diameter filters pre cut to fit these lenses. Your will need to buy a M77 for these lenses. And then either mount it in a 77mm filter holder (that we can suppy) and fit it to your lens with a step-up filter ring.

Can I still put a 1.4x teleconverter on the Canon 100 400 L IS and be happy?

FAQ: Canon EF 100 400 L IS at All Day I Dream About Photogra...
From the Image Quality side, the Canon EF 100 400 L IS and a 1.4x teleconverter is still pretty pretty good, the down side of this combo is the Auto Focus. Remember that the 100 400 is a f/4.5 f/5.6 lens and that the teleconverter will make you loose an extra stop so it will be a f/5.6 f/8. Canon EOS cameras2 can’t focus past f/5.6. If you are using a cheap teleconverter like the Tamron “base” model not the pro.

What can I use to clean my camera lens?

Digital Imaging - dslreports.com
First of all, DO NOT use Q-tips or any other product similar. The fine strands of cotton can scratch the lens surface. It is recommended that you purchase a camera cleaning kit. It is a good investment to keep your camera looking and taking pictures like new. ednote: one of the best investments one can make is to get a skylight or uv filter (if possible), and just keep it on all the time. If you mess up the filter, you can always replace it.
