My 5DMII

Schnauzer

I've had it about 3 weeks now, so far I just love it.
I noticed my M/F lenses are real easy to use with it. Maybe the bigger brighter view finder. I had a lot of problems focusing with my 40D.
I can get focus confirm about always at f/8 with my M/F lenses. I haven't tried higher yet.
It seems to meter better than the 40D with AV indoors and out using the M/F lenses.
I can adjust the adapters to focus right on the money with the micro-adjustment.

So far all I have taken are snapshots learning the camera and flash.

All shots with the yashica ML 50/1.7
I was checking out the micro-adjust with the focus confirm adapters on Dudleys face, hence the lack of feet.

After playing hard with Maxwell for an hour.


One of the first shots that I took with the new camera. Just a quick grab really to see what it would do in the back yard. Have I mentioned that I hate snow. Especially 3 feet of it.

I'm surprised that no one found it interesting how the 5DMII worked with the manual focus lenses.

Full-frame camera viewfinders are definitely better for manual focus use. And of course by that token, medium format camera viewfinders, ...WOW!

The ease of viewing things in the viewfinder is one thing I look forward to with Nikon FX...

My cousin is just starting to use some of his old M/F lenses with his D700 and loving it.
