Ok on the weekend for a casual street shoot, I thought I would travel light and only take the 5D mk2 and leave the 1D3 at home and I wanted to givethe AI servo a try only shooting a walking model not exactly sport or high action, there was a decent amount of high level cloud giving a nice diffused light so it was in the ISO 100 to 200 territory (good light) only using the center point and 70-200 f2.8 or 50 f1.4 (I also use back button focus the AF-on button to focus the trigger button only meters and shoots) set AI Servo, aperture set at 2.8
Model was walking down the street towards me quite slowly and achieved focus lock with the center point waited a second or so and started shooting....
Every single shot was out of focus, I was only shooting single shot not using rapid fire
If I do the same thing with the 1Dmk3 I would guess at least 90% of the shots are crsip and in focus
Does the 5D mk2 AI servo work differently? I cant work out what i was doing wrong?
Mt Spokane have you got any idea since you have the same camerasand seem to have success with the 5D2
cheers
