I was surprised when you didn’t notice the EXIF data haha.

Haha still a bit more to go too

How reliable is focus peaking on the M series cameras? I'm using a manual focus 12mm lens, and the peaking is telling me everything is in focus, but the image looks out of focus when I chimp. The lens is being used wide open (f/2.0). I've shot films with focus peaking on numerous non-Canon cameras (f/1.4 lenses with speedbooster) and it's been very reliable to say the least. So I'm not sure if it's a MFD issue or if Canon's implementation of focus peaking is enough to ballpark focus only.

I think focus peeking is for general focussing in some distance. Close up portraits definitely need 5x magnification to be sharp, at least on my simple M10 camera.

A lunchtime grab shot.

DPReview have released their review for the M6 Mark II




I found it interesting how they mentioned that M6II replaces not only the M6 but also the M5! I personally think the M6II would have been better off with a fixed EVF but I guess people who want that will now go to the M50.

I was very tempted by the M6 mk2 and like the removable evf but saved some cash and bought a used M3 and a used evf,it will do all I need and got both for £300.

I love the fixed EVF on my M5 and wouldn't consider a camera without it, personally.

While I haven't used it much lately, I charged the batteries today, in preparation for a trip to Wellington, as it will fit into my work bag, and if I get a few minutes I can go walk about

You can't beat Welly on a good day - only mean anything to the Kiwis among us, as Welly has a terrible rep weather wise. Personally I think the rep is overdone.
