-=1DS Mark II Admirers, congregate!

nice t-shirt Butch ! LOL. And now, we want to see some more of your lovely "Nikon girl" from a few months ago ! Ha ! Ha !

Nice shooting all. Hope all of ya have been well.

Just chimin' in, from a recent trip to Miami, but, no pics to show yet. Swamped...that's how I look at it.

Nonetheless, good to see more new members in here...good luck with all the new (to you) cams.

Welcome to the club! Many great examples of what this camera is capable of. Amazing for a camera that is supposedly "obsolete."

I'm looking to get a wireless remote, are there any products like this?

Or does anyone know if that will work for the 1Ds mk II?

^^Anytime. How's the new lens workin' out? I'm sure you like it...

Here's one from a session a couple of weekends ago that I'm just now starting.

And one of these days, I'll get to work on one from a trip to Cape Canaveral, just for fun.

If it has the same pin configuration as the Canon Remote, then, yes, it will work. However, I believe some people with 5D's used to complain about banding issues, while using one of these systems, from what I can remember...or maybe it was the wireless triggers themselves that caused the banding. Yeah, the Canon wireless remote is expensive, but, at least it's known to work, and work well.

Meh, I can live without it. haha

One more with my obsolete 1DsMkII!

This one taken with the 50L...

Looks good, ALaS!

The larger on black version suits it much better though.

Cheers!

Thanks! Yes, it definitely does!

I almost sold my 1Ds II this week...thank the Grand Architects of the Universe that logic came into play as I was getting my latest RAW file for an interested inquirer and I reminded myself of several things.

- Street value is going to take a huge dive when the 1Ds IV is announced (being that the 1Ds III is still technically their flagship model) whereas the 1Ds II street value will only drop a couple hundred at best.

- 21MP increase wasn't of any importance to me and in fact I saw it as a con due to file size and overall load rate of sessions shot.

- RAW files that I've played with online from the 1Ds III cannot be pushed as far as the 1Ds II files for some reason and that in itself is pretty important to me.

- The dropping of the 45 point AF system (which still baffles me to this day) on the 1Ds III just seems like a step backwards rather than forward for the 1-Series.

Now I can start using my 1Ds II and stop trying to preserve it at 7,100 actuations for buying incentive. ^_^

I have a question about the Ec-S focusing screen.

I was under the impression that this screen did not sacrifice any brightness if your lenses maximum aperture was 2.8 or smaller. However the only review on B&H is insinuating that the VF gets darker when you stop down from these apertures -- regardless of the maximum aperture of the given lens.

Does anyone have this focusing screen and can confirm whether or not this is true?
