-=1D Classic Lovers !!!

Finally got the right firewire cable and the software installed on my PC to play around with the in-camera settings. Bumped the sharpness up a bit and you can really get some crisp images out of this camera with no processing for sure. A quick shot in my garage.......not art by any means.

Shot at ISO 320......no sharpness or contrast added.......maybe a touch under-exposed.

Looks like my garage.. heh! Nice sharp shot, what lens was that? Are you shooting JPG or RAW?

Did you get a flash to try with it?

This is the Sigma 24-60mm f/2.8 EX and shot in fine JPEG with the in camera sharpening turned up to level 3.

Wow, nice combo.. I have a Sigma 24-70 2.8 EX Macro I just got that Im hoping will take pics that nice.

You should get very similar image quality from the 24-70mm. These two Sigma EX lenses are some of the best values around in a normal zoom range lens with a fixed aperture.

A shot of one of my twin boys from this afternoon with the 1D and my Sigma 24-60mm f/2.8. This was at ISO 500........focus point on his left eye...

Great color and sharp!

I have a Tamron 17-50 2.8 DiII for my 400d, I know that it is for the 1.6 crop but would anyone know if it would work with the 1.3 crop?

Jason.

Sorry guys, should have posted this question in the lens forum.

Answered my own question, feel like a dumb arse!

The CCD has a natural colour reproduction which I like.

Getting ready for takeoff......

Canon EOS-1D, f/2.8 @ 60 mm, 1/40, ISO 400

The noise in the 1D shots - even though it may be there - is not as 'intrusive' in the photos as noise from some other cameras that I have owned. (At least up to a certain point.)

Just a couple of toys I had lying around (1D Classic + 85mm f/1.8):

Just bought one, should be here in the next couple of days.....now just have to sell the 400d and tamy!

Looking forward to it.

I think some people are seeing the shallower DOF you get with 1.3x crop and may think thier pics are noisier too. 1.6x crop has about a stop more DOF in the same framing.

Nice, and another member in the 1D Classic group
I love my 1D already so much, love the speed and handling.
The Body feels 1000 times better than my sold 40D...

once you´ve tried a 1D...you´ll never go back to XXD ...
i´m lokking forward for a 1D MkIII right now may be this summer...

My 1Dmk1 was looking old and worn - pale grey colour - so gave it a once over with some rubber restorer.
Now looks almost as good as my 10 month old 5D.
