Software Hack turns Canon Digital Rebel into a 10DWow, so you can turn your $1000, over-priced, lens that don't work with anything, camera, into a $1500 over-priced, lens that don't work with anything, camera. Full Story. Of course, Simone, correct me if I'm wrong on this, but the Rebel uses a proprietary lens contact, correct? Update: I need to quit listening to people. I stand corrected, as the Rebel and the 10D use the same EF-mount for their lenses according to Canon's site, but I stand by what I said that the lenses were horrendously expensive. 4 CommentsJesse Thompson said on 06/02/04 @ 11:11 PM:I read this story on wired last night, and then recognized when Simone mentioned her 10D to me this morning, and now you're mentioning it. Whatcha want to bet that she's got the only one they sold? @#%! software crippling Windows NT wannabes :P Ken Edwards said on 06/03/04 @ 08:40 AM: I am pretty sure that the Rebel uses standard Canon lenses. Jake said on 06/03/04 @ 08:53 AM: Somebody told me that the Canon Rebel doesn't use the standard EF-mount lenese that the 10Ds and other pro Canon's use, but after digging through Canon's site, it appears I was wrong. Regardless, the lenses are still horribly expensive. John Fulwider said on 06/03/04 @ 09:17 AM: The Rebel uses standard Canon lenses as well as some Rebel-specific lenses. As I recall, the Rebel-specific lenses place the first lens element closer to the sensor so as to enable cheaper production of wide-angle lenses. There's a reduction of the standard digital camera magnification factor involved; you know, the one that makes the same 300mm lens on a film SLR into a 1.2-times larger lens on a digital SLR. I think. :-) Post a comment |
