5D admirers, assemble!

^^ I agree...and apologies if I missed commenting on it earlier.

So, who's gettin' a mark II? Aside from Clarence (who mind you, reminds me of a Dragon Ball Z character :lol.

I think I'm going to start saving up for one...

Here's a shot from my new 16-35mm II L which I picked up today

Ok, a little over the top (well, way over the top) but sometimes the 5DMkI can't quite match the EyeballMkI:

Sunset At Rocky Mountain National Park
5D + 70-200mm f/2.8L IS .. 1/4s @ f/8 ISO 100 .. Image Blend

Woah...Jay...umm...tha​t thing is WAY hot. Of course, I'm at a computer at work, so it's not calibrated...but, it seems 'bright.' Let me get home...we'll see.

Eosboy...yeah, I think I might start a budget for it too...and once the other 'job' starts to make money, then, well...who knows what'll be out when all that happens.

For now, I'm stickin' with the current one. Simple, easy to use, not too much crap in it...and I know what the images are like, so all good there.

let me know if you guys letting go of your 5D I and willing for trade. grip 40D+ $400 cash and bunch of freebie. i'll make sure i'll put that 5D in good hands.

^Ha...funny. No, not getting rid of it, anytime soon. Good try, though...haha.

^ i know, not really funny. anyway im joining this assemble soon.=D other way around

the MKI is way too good to give up, if I were to get the MKII, I'd definitely need a worthy backup!

indeed, 40D is agood back up for the 5D MKII

It's definately your monitor .. Yeah, that's it...

(It's not really that bad .. is it?)

^^ I dunno...could just be this monitor...I've got dual screens at work...so that may cause some issues. Again, neither is calibrated...so, gimme a couple hours. I'll let you know...

And thrash_273...I dunno if you'd find many people willing to give up a 5D for trade. Not for a 40D, at least...and definately no-one I know of...that posts in this thread. But, you will be amazed with the image quality, even with a 3 year old cam.

I think the MK II looks good, in theory, but, still no weather sealing, etc. That's a key for me...cause I want to shoot out in the rain...and can't with the 5D. 1Ds next round...whether it be 3 or 4...who knows. Need money, first!

A bit hot for me too, but could just be your interpretation/prefere​nce of that photo, and in that case it's up to you of course!

Thanks for the Rocky Mountain National Park photos. Got fond memories of that place (hey, I think I know where you took that sunset shot!) and would love to go back again one day. Took a 10D there 4 years ago, and got some super-grainy ISO 3200 shots of foxes and deer. Ah, if only I had the 5D back then

I know...

I should have flipped one grad ND the other way and had Dark/Clear/Dark instead of having all the dark in the sky...

Oh well...gives me a reason to go back.

Actually, even at -2EV, the water is blown. Just too much DR...

It was a fun experiment.
