Canon EF-S 15-85mm Lens @15mm (24mm image) Last fall, I bought a new camera, a Canon 7D Mark II . As it turned out, the photo editing software I had been using with the old 7D1 couldn't process the raw files produced by the new camera. For the moment, then, the new camera ended up stashed away in a cabinet. Canon EF-S 10-18mm Lens @10 mm (16mm image) Now I have new software that will process the 7D2 raw files. Here are the first couple of test shots I took this week using two different lenses. Although they were just test shots, they turned out fairly well. They were also photos of my usual Skywatch scene, so I decided to post them there. Although it is the same scene, these photos are very different from the one I posted last week . Compared to the old 7D, much less post-processing seems to be needed with the 7D2. Colors are brighter and lighting is more balanced right out of the camera. I take a lot of photos in the deep shade of Pacific Northwest forests.
