Hi Rob! Congratulations on your new camera!
I've been looking at the 5D for a while now and will probably order one very soon. Reason being that I (think I) need the extra pixels for big prints to demanding wedding cutomers. I must say that I'm slightly concerned about the speed of AF though (for my reportage jobs). Tried the 1Ds Mark II and was really impressed over how fast it focused. I assume the speed of focus is similar on your camera, which makes it a very interesting alternative. The ideal thing for me would probably be to have a digital back on my medium format in the studio and a lighter body for reportage but thats just way over my budget so I have to carry something that can do both. Questions: 1. Have you tried the 1Ds Mark II, if so, is the AF speed similar on the 1D Mark IIn? 2. Do you know how big prints one can make from 1D Mark IIn? (to wedding and portrait customers) Kind Regards Henrik -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] För Robert S. Greenstein, Esq Skickat: den 5 december 2005 22:25 Till: EOS List Ämne: Enthusiatically now EOS Digital Hello All! Just bought an EOS-1D Mark IIn and EX580 Flash on Saturday, and I'm having a blast!! Having shot EOS 35mm bodies for years, the transition to EOS Digital is a real thrill. I seriously considered the 5D, but felt the 1D MkIIn was far more compelling for my use. To keep this post short I'll post the reasons if anyone asks. Surprisingly, the 1D Mk IIn's 1.3 conversion factor has yet to present much of wide-angle restriction problem with my 20-35 2.8L, which seems to be doing an excellent job on the new body. However, I am considering selling it and going with the 16-35 or 17-40. Thought I'd share my enthusiasm and say hello to any old friends on the EOS List. Also welcome any comments, suggestions or threads regarding the new gear from those who've already made the transition. Best regards to all, Rob.
