all right there we go we have our settings up here and we'll change it up
here in a bit but let me take them off for now, anyway hello there, here we are
on Monday the 5th of August 2019 at 8:57 p.m. up here in Northeastern Ohio
and what we're doing different is we have a new lens for the Canon 80D
let me get situated and I'll be right back
ok and here we have a 31% Crescent I think I'd have to double check when I go
in, up here in our southwest sky, west -southwest, and the Sigma lens it's a
beast of a lens, it's 6 pounds, but ever since it was announced I was hoping it
would go on sale and it did a few days ago so I did pick it up and with hopes
of the ad revenues still coming in hopefully it'll be paid off in about
five months or so, fingers crossed, anyway so this uh
this lens is for full sensor cameras for that 60 to 600 so it should be about
96 to 960 on a crop sensor camera which is what I have here
on the 80D, now what's cool about the 80D, at least for my uses is it has a
digital zoom in camera
so here we are at 3x, still a bit too bright huh there on this side, and we can go
in even further now without a teleconverter we can't get up quite as
close as the P1000
but from my testing this afternoon of doing the bricks over on the church in the
back yard the image quality was great on this on this lens compared to the Nikon
I think they Canon is a 24 megapixel I'm not sure
but I will double-check, yeah okay so we are at the max so it should be about
9600mm, I think I already said that I'm going nuts there, I was trying to put
together a video of the comparison but
now what else is great about the Canon is we can put that 2x extender on here
and not only reach the max zoom that the P1000 gets which is 3000 x 4
which is 12,000 millimeters, we can do that with a 2x on
here and even surpass it up to 19,200mm I think, I'm sure
the image quality will suffer but and this is not the greatest night to be out
here we've had a lot of humidity we had rainstorms and there's clouds all around
right now and what I might do also in Final Cut Pro is do a crop zoom to
get in just a bit further we'll see, yeah quality does suffer but
I have a feeling the video's not gonna pick it up but it looks like dark greens
Browns and tans in that, in that Mare there
okay
so there we are at the max lets undo the, okay we're at the 3x now, very cool
I'm going to shut off the digital zoom and well I was going to attempt to go
over to Jupiter but there's this large cloud bank over there but over around
there somewhere is Jupiter in that cloud bank, now of course we don't get as wide
of a view like we do with the Nikon or that Tamron lens but I love this Canon 80D
so much, I had hopes that it might just be a better camera for zooming
then even the P1000, well we shall see it's, it's early days though only had it
a couple hours and I'm still fumbling around here and not much to see with it
doggone-it
so we are back down to the 600 or I'm sorry the 60 millimeter, bit of a cap on
the moon there, now this lens you have to turn it the opposite way, yeah with that
ISO up so high you can see the cap on the moon, could take it up even higher
now both of them are entrenched in clouds, that's my luck huh
but again we are recording this on to the Atomos Ninja Flame and filming with
the Canon 80D and that new Sigma 60-600 millimeter lens, the moon's a pretty
cool tests but the two planets Saturn and Jupiter will be the best, all right I
have a lot of editing, cut all this out, I don't have any pictures tonight to throw
in here, just don't get a wide-enough view here to get a good landscape shot
now there are rumors about a Canon 90D coming out maybe by August 28th and it's
all just rumors but I sure would like to see the specs on that camera and I don't
know for sure about this but I think this Canon 80D for an apsc crop sensor
DSLR I think it's the only one that has a digital zoom in camera like that the
3x to 10x but I don't think it does. ah man, Jupiter, where the hell are ya
now if anyone knows differently if there's a different camera company that
has a DSLR I was hoping Nikon would like the D500
I love that camera, uhm, that has the in-camera digital zoom also please let
me know, that's a pretty sight there, double check our settings here
1/30th for shutter at F4.5 ISO's on 2000mm, a bit grainy, and we're at 60
millimeters which is, should be 96 on a crop sensor camera, and by jove I think
that's it, that cloud bank is large, I don't think it's going to let Jupiter
have a break
ah I didn't want this test to be a bust but we'll have to wait for another night
to be able to get the planets in, well on this cloudy Crescent night and Sigma
night I'm gonna wish you all a great new week here and I hope all is right in
your world. y'all I'll take care now. it's 9:18 p.m. up here. Bye now
