1D X Mark II Owners Unite! Discuss & Post Photos

I know that slicing pain.....1.5 years ago had both done, but today climbed 1.5 miles 1500 feet in suck snow in snowshoes so blink your eye a few times and all will be well....I was even 25 years senior to all I hiked with today.

Thanks. Looking forward that. I have heard a lot of good stories like yours. When we were in Costa Rica I took some pretty powerful anti inflammatories and T3's. After the T3 kicked in I got about an hour where I felt nothing and wondered if this is what it will be like again one day.

I spent all of last weekend at Maker Faire. I posted a couple of shots but have tons more.

I'm still exhausted, though!

Went out last night with a client for an evening session. The camera is just Killer.....ZERO missed shots. It does not miss. Absolutely love the AF and color on these files

Before the 1DXii did you use a 1-series Mike?

The reason I'm asking is because I've used 1-series bodies since 2004 and thought others were making big issues of missed focus with xxD and xxxD bodies but when I bought my 5D3 I realised how quick and sure 1-series are against the rest of Canons offerings.

Yes

Opted to go 5D3 last update

I almost deleted this photo it was a test shot to adjust the flashes, but then I liked her expression and thought I'd give it a try and loved how it turned out!

Definitely glad that you didn't delete it.

Chuga chuga chew chew....wait, I think it's choo choo ??

Hmm, might have found a problem with metering and Zeiss Otus lenses (though I am not sure how common this combination is, so it might have slipped through untested in field testing).

FWIW, it seems like the Otus 55 and 85 meters about 2 stops too dark with the 1DX Mark II, while the Otus 28 is fine. If anyone else has both the 1DX2 and Otus lenses, I would greatly appreciate it if you can check this (and I can also make sure it isn't just my camera)

Have you tried turning off all of the in-camera lens corrections? Although these only affect jpegs, some other camera functions do seem to be tied into them. E.g. see here: http://www.canonrumors​.com …d-x-mark-ii-sigma-lenses/

Yeah I reset the camera for this and turned off all the corrections I can find. There aren't any rings or weird corrections going on, it is just severely underexposed.

Looks like there's not a fix-action on our end. If that's the case (and no one else here is able to give you any good ideas), then I would definitely report the bug to Canon so they can add it as one of the fix actions in their next firmware update.

Yup, already sent emails to Canon CPS and Zeiss. Canon did reply with a generic "sorry, can't support third party lenses, just use exposure compensation" email but we'll see what Zeiss says.

At least the underexposure is consistent under all lighting conditions so it is not too bad of a workaround, just slightly annoying when changing lenses.
