Just bought a second hand 5D few hours ago! Really looking forward to see the first results. Where's a model when you need one. I updated from my trusty 350D.

congrats. your gunna love it.

Enjoy, that's a great upgrade. Almost what I did (350D --> 500D for a few months (which my wife uses now) --> 5D)

After having the lens for a bit, I really like 24-70mm on my 5Dc. hah.

I hear ya on the model thing. My wife quit modeling for me after she got preggo with our last. good thing i have small kids to break in.

I have 2 5Ds.

The more I think about it, the more I'm starting to believe this is really the only option. Otherwise I will always be favoring the 5D shots since theres something about the files it makes...

It works for me. I have both set up exactly the same way so its easy moving from one to the other when shooting with both bodies which is most of the time.

Also what I did! Honestly haven't used the 350D since. Well, I did once -- to take a photo of the 5D

5d's underexposure is really giving me an harsh time. It's underexposing by 0,67/1 stop when I shoot inside...and about 1/3 of a stop when a shoot outside.
This happens in the evaluative metering mode.

Any thoughts?

How are you determining this? What are you aiming the evaluative meter at when you take this reading? Not doubting your results, just wondering the method as this hasnt been my experience.

I've been MIA for awhile.

A client requested HDR, since I loathe it i tried to go easy on it, and use flash where I could...let me know if you can tell which ones i flashed and which I HDR'd.

If I shoot outside and I aim at the grass (which I guess belongs to zone n° 5 of the zonal system), for example, I'll have to set + 0,33 to the exposure. And sometimes won't be enough.
If I shoot inside the camera will underexpose by 2/3-1 stop in similar conditions...and this happens without aiming at white/strongly enlighten objects (in this case I'll need to overexpose by 1.5/2 stops).

I know that this is not a serious problem, but it's really bothering me!

Unless you are metering with a 18% gray card, instead of grass which has a great degree of variation, and then comparing that to a calibrated light meter I think your technique is flawed. I think you are just dealing with the vagaries of a reflected metering system.

My guess would be that the first one is HDR and maybe the 4th one (out of the 5 house pictures posted)...

I hope you're right. I'll do more tests...although I'm pretty sure the 50D did a better job in this! I had no underexposure issues, and my technique was the same.

I love my 24-70...but I have to tell you...my 85L is glued onto the front of my 5DC......if the 85 is not on there then the 35 f2 is....

Love that combo....
