Wrong. 95% of people will ask you "How did you get that fantastic picture without a flash?" Everyone is used to seeing snapshots with blinding white flashes from their iPhones. They assume that...
-
But we do live under incandescent lighting sometimes. Do you find people revolting to look at under warm light because their skin tones aren't "pleasing" to your eyes???
-
Lots of people say the color temp looks too warm. It looks like realistic color temperature under incandescent light to me. I don't think every photo should have white-hot sunlight in it,...
-
Yes, tracking cars out in the sunlight is one of the easiest AF challenges I can imagine. Take your 1DX into some dismal indoor light and have it try to track a bunch of unpredictable humans...
-
Canon marketing had finally gotten rid of the old mindset that a camera or lenses is worth anything after a few years. People constantly demand that lenses be "updated" when they're still excellent...
-
And many of us at the time got into photography by paying thousands for used FD lenses and cameras. They were still worth a lot of money. I hope you didn't throw yours in the garbage!
-
They also don't have focus motors.
-
Your lenses are too clean.
-
What technique? I put the focus point on my subject and I keep it on my subject as it moves around. I rely on the camera to predict the distance of this subject and not to decide my subject is less...
-
A single contrasty subject against a distant neutral background. How could it not get this in focus?
Try taking a picture of a baseball player standing in front of a chain link fence.
-
I agree. Canon published a guidebook on how to adjust every little setting in the AF system for a particular situation. The utter stupidity of the examples was that the settings they recommended in...

When was the last time someone said "5D" and meant a Mark II or Mark III?
We know 200% what a "5D" with no "Mark X" means. It doesn't need a "classic" or "vintage" moniker on it.
-
It's the original 5D that everyone loved before they made it taste like Pepsi.
-
Factors that "stress" the AF of a camera are:
Low light. My D30 from 2000 could track in these sunny conditions. Even with my 1D Mark IV I can feel the AF becoming less accurate in EV 7 indoor...
-
Maybe his 7D is dying, showing a dead battery has a full charge!
-
That's kind of like saying, "I don't mind shots with small DOF, but isn't it better to take sharp images with deep focus then just replicate the effect in Photoshop?"
-
But don't ignore the green fringing in the f1.2 shot. I bought the 85mm f1.2 thinking I would have fewer color fringing problems. The improvement is marginal and the wider apertures give me more...
-
I don't know how the f1.8 could have struggled in low light when Canon AF sensors only extract a maximum of f2.8 of light from lenses.
-
When I owned the 100mm f2 ten years ago, it was softer at f2 than the 85mm, and this was with the 3 megapixel D30. They were pretty close at f2.8.
-
But that makes it hard to remove the front element again if you want to clean the internal parts of the lens. ;-)
