R6MKII + EF 35/1.4L and EF 85/1.2 L II (pics)
4

Got a chance to try out my new R6MKII. Used it with EF-RF adapter, vertical grip and EF lenses: 35/1.4 L and 85/1.2 L II.

Where do I begin? Super ecstatic about the results I got from eye-AF! Dang my 5Ds doesn't stand a chance in terms of AF speed and accuracy. Also, it's great to be using a vertical grip again especially with the 85mm. Love the handling of this camera!!

I spent a lot of time trying to configure my settings (C1-C3). The C3 is my 'movement' setting where I have the high speed bursts. I thought I try it for subject twirling around and walking straight at me. I think it shoots 20 fps. Ok, I'm not going to do that anymore except when shooting sports LOL. Heck, in a span of less than a couple of hours, I ended up with slightly over 1500 images! I just can't imagine using the H+ for 40 fps. Definitely tons of pictures to sift through. I'll save that to ensure that I have the tennis ball on the racquet shots

BTW, anybody who are shooting with the 5Ds(r) and the R6/II? I'm finding that the R6MKII has got more details in it with regards to heads and shoulders shots.

Cheers,

José

Decent pictures, thank you for sharing.

It is only pity you share them in this tiny "stamp" size/resolution. Full size pictures tell much more about lenses and camera qualities.

I wouldn't share any larger than those sizes. I had my photos stolen a couple of times......besides I'm not here to sell the camera nor the lenses. Dpreview here has full rez pictures in their R6MKII gallery.

Thefts browsing through DPR's threads to steal random pictures? It is really happening?

Nothing in common with selling - full res is simply interesting from photography point of view.

Yes it happened to me twice a long time ago. It ended up in online web camera store as a sample pic for the camera.

Not interested.
