Very nice! On the off-center shots, did you use all AF points of a single peripheral point (I assume you didn't use the center point only, unless you just cropped in post ).

He cropped I'd say. He's a centrepointman only. The old 5D2 is not famous for its peripheral focuspoints.

It's one way to do it, but it does waste pixels.

With a 1D4 you could do this..
