    5Ds Mark II and hate for mirrorless

    Actually, I was using the M6II with the adapter when the collision occurred. The lens is insured and a claim filed. The combo is forward heavy, so I was using a mono-pod. The image I posted was taken with this combo prior to the "Let's give it all" for the high school, LOL. I do think that the...

    5Ds Mark II and hate for mirrorless

    I'm was using M, 1/1000 shutter, f2.8, AI Servo/ High FPS. However, I was knocked on my ass by a ref (my bad) and the lens is broken. With the lighting and the fact that I will be using the 70-300 4.5 - 5.6 I'm just guessing that it will take 25600. Any different ideas appreciated. Perhaps a...

    5Ds Mark II and hate for mirrorless

    I wanted to try the lighted focus spot as on the 5d4 my old eyes can track a player just fine but the focus points (5) are hard to see. Also, the lighter weight appealed to me which means with the 70-200 2.8 I will use tonight the combination GC (center of gravity - I am an old pilot) will be...

    Gentlemen, New here so a bit of background: using a camera for 70 years, switched to Canon some three years ago, a 70D. Currently take night HS football as the school sports photographer where the light is abysmal using the 5D4. That will change tomorrow. Jjust got a M6 mark2 and at home tests...
