EOS Bodies / Re: 6D AF and Focal Plane issues by recomposing

« on: January 13, 2013, 12:56:46 PM »

I see... I just foud out what you can not do with the 6D. I was just interested in this cam, but I think not anymore.

I wouldn't call it a deal breaker just something you have to be mindful of. It also something that can't be overcome with good technique or simply realizing the limitations of what you and cant do. Is it fool proof?  No, but then again nothing really is.

Well by the nowdays tech a decent 3d tracking is something that I personally would expect in a ~2000 € body.

I am not sure about it. Maybe with some cameras you can lock the focus and let the AF system track this spot for you while you recompose. But as I said, I am not sure about it.

Yes, I suppose you could use AI Servi to 'track' to an outer AF point.  But that's not focus-recompose, and if you're going to do that, why not just select the outer AF point directly?

Sorry, my english ist quite poor. Maybe I don´t want to say "focus-recompose" but just recomposition. Sometimes you want to recompose to lock the focus and the measured light.
Well, sometimes you just have not the time to do that in single steps. You just may not get the shot.

No more difficult than any other camera using the same technique.

Great links, thanks!

Since recomposig sucks (visual-vacations.com dixit), I was just wondering how it all happens on a 6D.

EOS Bodies / 6D AF and Focal Plane issues by recomposing

Hello,

I would like to know your thoughts on this topic.
How difficult could be to work with a 6D and a fast lens if you have to recompose (focal plane distance changes) and want to achieve a shallow DOF ?

Same sensor as in 650d, for sure. That is sad.

Thank you for your very nice review.

Good for you that point out the negative aspects in your own blog, otherwise the red necks straps could come and put you in your place 

Just a question, pointing out the the very only usable AF point works very good isn´t like to praise how good the one leg from a one legged person works?

Greetings.

But.....but.....Nikon is "better," isn't it?  DxOMark says so, it must be true.  What am I missing?!?  Oh, wait, I know....REALITY.

 

DxOMark is about sensors and the Sony sensors are the most sold.

Besides the Touchscreen, I find relevant the AF system and the Digic5 and thats it.
If I were in the position to buy a new camera now, I will go for a cheaper 600d or for a 60d. The ergonomics of the 60d ar far superior including a shoulter display and a bigger batery. And with the eventually saved money, depends on your decision...... well you know.

Lenses / Re: Sigma 50 1.4 or canon 85 1.8

« on: December 23, 2012, 12:33:15 AM »

So, thank you so much for your answers and very instructive discussion. I didn´t expected to induce sucha a technical debate. 
I ordered the Canon 85mm 1.8 and I will give it a try. Even if I am a bit sceptical about the CA´s.

The Bokeh of the sigma looks nice, but since it is a bit of an investment and I already have the sigma 17 50 2.8 I would like to try another focal length.

Saludos.

Thanks for your answers and photos.
I would like to know your opinions about how the oof areas behave in the case of the 50 1.4 due to the big apperture and in the case of the 85 1.8 due to its focal lenght (background compresion).
Which lens delivers the more blurred background and the better bokeh?

Saludos
