EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: No Focusing Screens for 5D MIII?

« on: March 08, 2012, 09:40:27 PM »

My 60d has 3 options in the custom functions for selecting what focuys sceen I have installed. And the manual says if i change the focus screen to set the custom functions correctly. Does this mean my 60d has interchangeable focus screen and the 5d MkIII does not?

Correct. But your 60D does not have the advanced transmissive LCD either displaying the grid lines, focus points, AF modes, etc...

That is the tradeoff... Focus screen or awesome viewfinder information. I will take the advanced LCD!

Lenses / Re: cannon 35mm 1.4L now or wait for 35 f/1.4L II?

The 35L is an excellent lens... I enjoyed it when I had it.

And yes, keep in mind if the 35L II comes out and shares the 60%+ price increase like all the other lenses, it will be $2200-2400.

Software & Accessories / Re: Before you upgrade to Lightroom 4...

I just installed LR4 and was able to import my LR3 and LR4 Beta Catalogs with no problem. Kept all my editing and such as well. 

On the plus side, it seems to work faster then the Beta... Thankfully... With the sliders and such.

Canon General / Re: What non-canon lenses do you use and why do you love them?

My "Bell+Howell" (ala Samyang) 14mm f/2.8 lens for my 5D2...

At only $298, the performance is unreal. It is up there with all my other L's I use... It may be manual everything, but it is so sharp all the way to the edges. And at 14mm on FF, that is not easy!

I love it...

I have owned the 5Dc along with the 7D, and the 5Dc had the best IQ out of any body I have seen... Even my current 5D2. The 7D is a better body, but IQ wise, the 5Dc is king. You can't get better IQ for the price of used 5Dc bodies.
