compatible with your EOS camera
Hello EOS friends,
It’s been a busy start to 2014. The January sale event that we held
here in Tackley was great fun and it was lovely to meet so many of
you. Luckily the snow held off – trust us, getting in and out of the
village here is no picnic when the weather is bad. So now we are
looking forward to the sun and to our next event in early June.
Not only have we had the sale event but we feel like we are
only just up and running again after the inaugural Photography
Show. Held at the NEC in Birmingham it was a great celebration
and exploration of modern-day photography. Thanks to the many
members who took time to drop by the stand and say hi, and
welcome to our new members who came on board at the show.
It’s a special year for us this year – our 21st birthday. So in
order to celebrate we will be having a party at our place on Friday
5 and Saturday 6 June. There will be tea and cake (it wouldn’t be
a party without them after all) and you will be able to explore a
variety of Canon equipment and accessories and have a play with
mini studio set-ups. You can book into the camera clinic and get
your EOS queries answered by one of the editorial team, find out
the shutter count on your EOS camera and, of course, browse
the shop and take advantage of special offers on the day. We will
also be offering a print service on the new panoramic papers and
fotocards from Fotospeed (page 19), so bring your camera and
some images on a memory card and we’ll print while you wait!
Enjoy browsing through the latest shop catalogue. We
particularly like the colourful dry tubes on page 27 and the mirror
lens on page 3, complete with fat-free doughnuts for the party!
Happy shooting from the EOS magazine shop team

500mm mirror lens
DOUGHNUTS WITHOUT THE ADDED POUNDS
If you have ever lusted after the Canon EF 500mm f4L IS II USM lens then chances are your eyes have also watered at the price of it - at
around £9000 (RRP). Even the thought of carrying it at a weight of just over 3kg and length of 383mm is not for the faint-hearted. So we
have an alternative for you – a mirror lens. Often dismissed as toys or playthings, we feel this mirror lens is worthy of our attention.
The 500mm f6.3 mirror lens from Kaili offers advantages in size, weight and, most significantly, price. It contains a combination of
lenses and mirrors to form the image. This design, also employed in the original Canon FD 500mm f8 Reflex lens which we used to take
the image of the flamingoes (bottom left), folds the light path between two mirrors which reduces the length of the lens assembly. The
lens has a fixed aperture of f6.3 and focusing has to be done manually. Minimum focusing distance is two metres.
Mirror lenses will certainly give you the reach of a super telephoto lens even if they cannot quite match the image quality and
contrast, but if you are looking for an inexpensive way to extend your view, this might be a solution for you. Also if you’re prepared to
spend a little bit of time post-processing, you can lift the contrast as needed.
Mirror lenses are like Marmite - you’ll either love or hate the result they can create. They turn
background specular reflections into ‘doughnut’ shapes. This is a characteristic of all mirror lenses, but
only happens with bright background reflections. If you shoot against darker backgrounds the image
appears normal, hence the image of the baby rhino is doughnut-free. For more information on mirror
lenses read the article ‘Legacy lenses’ in the April-June 2013 issue.
Weighs 600g, dimensions 85.4 x 79mm. Supplied with T2-mount to attach to all EOS models.

Eyelead flash diffuser
SOFTER ILLUMINATION FROM YOUR CANON FLASH
Finally – we have found a replacement for the much-missed
Omnibounce flash diffusers. Simply push this rigid plastic diffuser
onto your Speedlite to produce softer illumination. The best
results are obtained with the flash head tilted up so that the light
can spread around the area.
This pop-on diffuser will soften harsh shadows which appear
behind subjects and will help to eliminate red-eye. It has been
designed to mimic the light distribution properties of a Fresnel
lens, used in lighthouses, and the ridges across the surface of the
diffuser help to spread the light further and more evenly. Because
the light is softened unwanted reflections are also reduced.
You can also change the colour of the light from your flash
with the optional colour filter set. The pop-on diffuser has two
small holes in the front panel into which the four coloured filters
clip. The filter set includes yellow/gold, green, blue and red, useful
for creative purposes and for balancing certain lighting conditions.
If you favour the built-in flash on
your EOS camera then try the pop-up
version. Available as a hotshoe mount
for your built-in flash, the pop-up diffuser will act in the same
way – to soften the light from your built-in flash and reduce
shadows and harsh contours. The foot slots easily into your
camera’s hotshoe and the diffuser’s position is adjustable.
The diffuser can also be angled to suit the projection of your
built-in flash.
