Tele lens for R6, what to choose? Hi I’m using Canon R6 and looking for a telephoto lens. Now I have Canon EF 100-400 IS USM, which is old, not sure if working properly (losing focus, iq is sometimes poor) but I’m not an expert. Just wanted to buy something more modern.

Which lens should I buy? I recently got a good deal on a Canon 5D mk3. I bought a 50mm f1.8 lens to go with it, but I plan to do plenty of hiking/backpacking with it and the 50mm just doesn’t cut it.

Step zoom lens? I have a question to pose. Would it be beneficial in any way to develop a step zoom lens? For example, instead of a 24-70 zoom, the lens could be “clicked” to specifically the 24,28,35,50,70mm focal lengths. Could this idea help at all in terms of weight, size, and/or quality in a meaningful way? submitted by /u/dukenrufus

Lens Update or Service? I’ve recently purchased a secondhand Fuji 16-55 2.8, but have noticed when I turn the aperture ring all the way to 2.8, it will only register as 3.2. If I close it completely then turn it all the way back to 2.8 it will register, then change to 3.2. The dial clicks and holds on 2.8, just the camera reads it as 3.2. Is this a lens update or servi…
