Joining the 5D club

After 2+ years with the 20D, I finally got me a 5D. I chose my lens carefully with the full intent to go FF, now I have first hand experience of the "WOW" factor the other users have been enjoying. Portrait is my main game, and I am thrill with what FF brings and quality images from the 5D.

So what I need to joint the club?

A duck shot?

very nice! and just noticed your post count is 1000

great choice of camera, so you went with the 24-70L did you check out the 24-105 at all?

Thank you. Yeah, that was one hell of gift for turning senior

Congrats on the 5D! The 5D is an awesome camera. And to mate it with the 24-70,70-200, and the 50 1.4. They are a joy to use on that body. Enjoy it and have fun!

From what i read the 24-70 is sharper. and its a f2.8.

Great purchase. I wish this camera would be less expensive considering it's age.

greenxeyezz, I did have the 24-70 and the 24-105 in my hands before I chose the 24-70, because of the f2.8 and I like it's hood better. Now with the 5D, I do wish the 2/7 could be 15mm longer.

jdizzle, thank you. I have to relearn the focal length with FF, but I can't wait to do one of those all day shoot with nothing but the 50, which was not very pratical with the 20D.

Welcome to the club. I've had mine almost a month, and I'm loving it!

I personally am not a fan of the 24-105 L. Most people who have the 24-105 wind up selling it and getting the 24-70 anyways. I like the build of the 24-70 and I have no issues with the weight either. You should see the 17-40 on FF and/or fisheye. It's so dang wide.

Shh...don't remind me that or I might end up getting one

I probably would get couple of primes before the ultra wild. Let me ask you experienced FF users: if you can take only one prime lens with you for a day, which one would it be?

If I were to go prime all day, it would be the a 35 L or 50 L. Foot zooming is fun.

Welcome to the club. I've had my 5D for about 15 months now and still in love with it!

By the way are you sure that's a duck? Not a goose?

Looks like a Greylag...?
Where can I borrow/rent/steal a 5D body in the uk, just to satisfy my curiosity......

I've been WOWing with my 5D for about a month now. Still blows me away how great it is. I also have the 24-70 and though I wish it was a little longer, it still stays on the 5D most of the time. The 24-105 L IS is now at the top of my wish list.

I do very little editing on my photos and the exception is usually only cropping. Just recieved a package of prints on Saturday and all everyone can say is "WOW, look at the colors and how clear these photos are!" (they think I'm getting better at being a photographer and know nothing about my equipment ... heh heh heh! )

Good luck and enjoy your 5D!
