At 3:17 into Canon, Inc.'s Mario Nette video, the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L IS II USM Lens is credited for some of the scenes.
While the thought of a Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L IS II USM Lens is very fun, it is surely just a typo. We have not even seen a version I Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens yet. (thanks Fredrik)
Standardized test results have been added to the Nikon 85mm f/1.8G AF-S Lens Review placeholder page.
On their blog, Carl Zeiss has posted a teaser about their soon-to-be-announced (and available in May) super-wide angle SLR lens.
Here is another Canon EOS 5D Mark III sample video - this one is from Canon, Inc.: Mario Nette.
From Canon Europe:
Canon has announced that Canon Log look up tables (LUTs) for its EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL Digital Cinema Cameras are now available for download to allow for converting Canon Log Gamma footage.
The EOS C300 (EF lens mount) and EOS C300 PL (PL lens mount) cameras are part of Canon’s Cinema EOS System and amongst their specifications they offer Canon Log Gamma, which enables neutral image quality with subdued contrast and sharpness for a wider dynamic range (up to 800% or 12 stops of latitude). This allows for more image information to be retained for colour correction and visual effects, hence greater freedom in post-production and colour grading.
The EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL Canon Log LUTs are available in three different versions: one for converting from Canon Log Gamma to Video gamma, one for converting from Canon Log Gamma to Cineon gamma, and one for converting from Canon Log Gamma to Rec.709 gamma.
To download the Canon EOS C300 Log LUTs just click here and for the EOS C300 PL Log LUTs just click here and select the 'Software (drivers and applications)' option from the menu.
Adorama is also now accepting Canon EOS-1D X preorders.
Initial supplies of the EOS 1D X are expected to be limited. Shipments are expected to begin around the end of April (2012).
Finally! B&H is accepting Canon EOS-1D X preorders! (thanks Kaz)
