Thisextension shows version information when opening a package or project file in vscode.
It abides by semver rules and uses the Node Semver package to compare and sort versions.
Lens Desktop may work on operating systems that are beyond their end-of-life date. However, we recommend staying on supported versions of the operating system. See details about support lifecycles of various operating systems on endoflife.date .
Protocol handling enables external programs to open Lens Desktop. For AppImage or other manually installed Lens Desktop instances, protocol handling must be enabled separately. Protocol handling is not required to run Lens Desktop but some Lens extensions may rely on it.
In-app auto-updates are available only for exe, dmg, and AppImage installations. The Snap instances are automatically updated through the snapd daemon. Update other Lens Desktop distributions manually.
When updating to a major Lens Desktop version, user data such as clusters, preferences, and other configurations migrates to new data structures. However, we recommend you to back up user data. Find default user data locations below:
If it was me, I would get the Canon EF 70-200mm F2.8L IS II. There is very little difference between version II and version III of the lens, except for a lens coating difference from what I have read. I own version II of the lens and it is fantastic. It is a very sharp lens. If you buy a used lens, make sure you can return it if it is faulty.
I shoot with the 70-200 f/2.8 II, and the results are excellent. I think that version III is supposed to have better coatings for reduced flare when shooting into or toward a light source. That said, I have photographed sunsets without any disturbing flare. Note: I worked at a newspaper, and the lens that was in repair the most was the 70-200 f/2.8 focal length, so when buying a used lens, put it through the paces and make sure it is working properly. Make sure the seller has a return policy that suits you if you find the lens is not up to spec. Hope that helps with your decision.
The reason everybody loves their Canon 70-200 f2.8L is because it is the best 70-200mm on the planet. It is very difficult to improve on such a top of the mark lens so they didn't at least not much. Is the Mk III better, yes, it is but how much and will you notice it?
I call this a flip of the coin and/or your budget decision. Look it does come down to how you intend to use the photos. Are you making archival photos for history or are you shooting for SI or are you shooting for Facebook (other social media sites). Perhaps you are wanting to make enlarged prints from your photos .That all makes a big difference.
I think you said you are using a 6D Mk II? A camera that is capable of making fantastic images so do you want to make use of all it has to offer? The Canon 70-200mm f2.8L model line is built like a tank. As long as it has not been abused to a large amount it is a good candidate to buy used. I use my gear and I mean I really use my gear. I sell my photos so they must be top notch and the lens must work. There has never been any issues with my two copies, first version and the Mk II, of my Canon 70-200mm zooms.
Yes, there are differences. Version II of course, is newer. It has recently been released and has been touted by almost everyone who uses it as the sharpest zoom lens. Many users report selling their primes because they don't need the primes to have sharp images anymore.
Canon is getting these lenses to where there just isn't anything better on the market. Even the primes are struggling to keep ahead of them. The only downside is the enormous cost of such performance.
The original 24-70 is a "reverse zoom". When the lens is extended it's 24mm. When it's fully retracted it's 70mm. A reverse zoom has an advantage when being used with a lens hood since the hood stays in place but the lens pulls back as you zoom in (but that's when the angle of view is narrower). You'll notice the hood on the version II is much shallower -- it's designed to work at the 24mm end but that means the hood is not providing much help at the 70mm end.
There was a bit of "zoom creep" on the original. I have not used the II so I can't comment on whether or not it still has "zoom creep". (zoom creep is where the weight of the lens is actually enough that merely pointing it up or down can cause the lens to want to creep in that direction... thereby changing your focal length if you're not holding on to it. It's subtle... it's not like it slides to the limit... but it doesn't stay precisely where you left it. It will move a bit.
I have tried alternatives, Zeiss, Voigtlander all probably just as good or very close, but I have nothing that holds in the hand as nice as the current 'Cron 50mm lens. Built in hood with just the right amount of give. Whether in or out, it just stays that way. The lens is sharp as a tack. This is a forever lens, I'd say.
In all these area's it is probably the best compromise for M lenses, which makes it the ideal single lens. With the current AI stitching tools it is always as wide as it needs to be for my subjects...
The only thing lacking is the focus tab. That is why I have kept my v4 and sold my v5. On top of that it is even smaller without the sun hood on. In Belgian weather there is no need for that during half of the year.
A Push-on Kaiser lens cap that fits over a filter. The downside for me is not being able to use my polarizer because of the Hood. I'm tempted to swap for a V4 just like you. Maybe a V5 in black for the weight or even a LLL Elcan for the pola filter... Rich world problem or gas.
My only problem with this lens is flare on the M10 in certain situations with a very bright light source just outside the image. I don't find the built-in hood particularly good so I recently purchased an inexpensive screw-on hood on Amazon, stacked on top of a UV filter. I don't know yet if this will be more efficient in reducing flare.
I had a similar issue with the V5 on my M11. The after-market hood on its own didn't fix it. But improvising a tighter shade with a mylar sheet, a craft knife and some matt black modelling paint has been 100% effective - although maybe not very pretty....
I'm fortunate to own the 50 Jahre version. Although silver chrome in finish, it's got an aluminium outer barrel and, as a bonus, the removable hood also fits and works perfectly on my 35 Summaron 2.8.
The flare is a new issue for me. I bought the lens new with an M6 in 1998, but it's only now, with new 60mp sensors, that I'm seeing an unusual flare patch. With both the M11 and adapted to a Sony A7CR, I get a veiling/low contrast patch against darker subjects if there's a very bright area - eg contre-jour sky - just out of frame. I've never seen this before, either with the M6, or with an M9 or other lower resolution digital cameras - where the performance has been just as great as the lens's reputation suggests. I wonder if it's something to do with the way light coming through the lens at medium and smaller apertures reflects off these new sensors, onto the rear element and then back into the final image to create the patch of veiling flare. Anyway, my DIY hood has sorted it out. So I'm happy.
I have recently purchased my CL, and have updated the camera firmware to which I obtained from Leica's website. However, as I was browsing the menu settings, I noticed that camera firmware and lens firmware were not the same version. My "Camera Firmware Version" displays "4.0", while the "Lens Firmware Version" (immediately below) displays "1.0".For context, the lens I have equipped as I write this is the 18mm Elmarit TL f/1.2 asph.
Just want to update this thread with recently discovered info - the CL does NOT automatically update lens firmware. It is available for doneload on the Leica site and you have to go in and manually update it under the "Camera Information" menu. I discovered this after buying a TL2, which DID automatically update my lenses from v.1.0 to v1.1 (I don't recall if I had the lens firmware file on the SD card at the time, or just the camera's firmware update file. Anyway, I used these lenses many times on the CL and they never updated. I then put the lens firmware file on an SD card, put it in the CL, and discovered I was able to update my 23mm and 35mm lenses from v1.1 to v2.0, but had to do so manually. The 18mm is current at v1.0. I just bought the 18-56mm, 11-23mm, and 55-135mm zooms, so I will let you know if they go up to v2.0 as well (I assume so). I don't have a 60mm (yet!) but I expect the same.
