Why is the Canon a different field of view (167°) compared with other brands' mounts (180°)? Can mounting another brand on Canon increase it, or not?

I don't really have an answer for you. I guess the difference is in the zoom factor between canon and Nikon.

I am no pro, but I do not think you can mount a nikon( example ) lens on a Canon body. But this lens rules. Trust that! For quality and money, cannot be beat.

A little late for an answer for these folks, but in-case anyone else runs across this question and wants to know...The difference is that most brands that use APS-C sensors have a crop factor of 1.5x , however Canon has a crop factor of 1.6x.This lens was designed to give 180° on an APS-C sensor with a crop factor of 1.5x. This is why on Canon you only get 167°.Mounting a Nikon lens (via an adapter) to the Canon camera will not change the crop factor of the sensor, so the FOV will still be 167°.

I was not sure when I first looked, then I realized the different models had different temperature capabilities, and if I recall some of them had different focus ratio as well. Keeping this in mind, Read descriptions carefully, the differences will be more apparent!

It's all in the name. The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II is the newest of the product. Go to CanonUSA.com for your answer. The big part that confused you (I think) is the "IS II"). Good luck. Vic

You need to buy an adapter for the wide angle, they are not canon. The two canon lenses work great. The 18 to 55 is a good all around lens. The package deal wasn't bad. I'm a little annoyed about the wide angles not being compatible.

I had to use my Canon 70- 300 tele to accomodate properly...i didn't try with a 100mm

The large end of the viewfinder will work, since the screen sizes are the same (3") on both cameras. I'm sorry, the part I can't tell you about is the distance from the mounting screw, to the back edge of the camera. This is key to allowing the bracket to fit flush against the LCD screen which holds the viewer magnetically. Since the focal length of the viewer is not adjustable you would want to make sure the bracket fits correctly. I have not been able to find this measurement on any of the Canon camera specifications.

It's a completely different mount which is only for the non-full frame cameras. EF-S vs EF.

Hey so the diagonal angle of view for this lens is 79.5 degrees compared to 107 degrees at 10mm. If you'd like to see what that equates to visually Lonely Spec has a great article on picking on a lens for Milky Way photography that visually shows the difference for ASP-C and full frame lenses.

Thank you for your comment. I found it very helpful. I naturally prefer Canon but really want the wide-angle offered in this Sony camcorder. Canon missed the boat on wide angle in my view.

thats wierd, it shouldn be tha way... depends what you are mounting i think, ive used it with the BMCC and rokinon lenses no problem... maybe check your setpup

Other reviews say that the Canon optics are about the same as Tamron optics, but the Tamron converters don't stick out the way the Canon ones do. Even better.

There is no 85 f:2 made by Canon. There is the 85 f:1.8 and the 85 f:1.2.. I have both of these lenses and they work well with the EOS1d mark III.. Were you thinking different manufacturer?

The camera head can be directed in a 180 degree fashion. (fairly well designed) But there is no optical zoom, so you may need to make adjustments for "framing".

I just perchased the H20. I'm use to having a view finder. I thought there may be a way torig some kind of sighting device. The camera already has a means of sighting in. Looking fromthe rear of the camera, there is an elbow formed to the left side of the flash "hump". If youbracket your subject in this elbow it'll pretty much end up dead center of your shot. Hey, it'snot hi-tech but the method works.

The 85 has an even tighter angle of view than the 50. It's a great portrait lens, as in you can get a good head and shoulders shot and put the background nicely out of focus, but I suspect you want to get more in your pictures, not less. The lower the number of a lens's focal length, the wider angle of view it has. Didn't your camera come with an 18-55 zoom? If not, look for one on eBay. That's the normal "kit" lens for cameras with the Rebel's sensor size. You can find them for under $100 there. Make sure you get one with the "IS" designation. That means it has image stabilization which will help keep shots sharps during hand-held exposures. The 85 has an even tighter angle of view than the 50.

Any focal length is always that focal lengh. its like how tall you are does not change whether you are in a Fiat or a 2 decker bus. Field of view changes as you change cameras with different size sensors. The 17.5 on M43 has the field of view of a 35mm on full frame 35mm. Best, Stephen CameraQuest
