Oh I see no wonder there was this long quene along the five foot way.

There's always a long queue and after eating from there twice, each time queued at least 15mins.

It's very well maintained.

I suppose restoration works have been carried out before.

Hi everyone,

I lost my 5D CD-rom, any kind soul can help me duplicate a copy or an ISO image file for me to download? I will pay for postage and cost of CD. Appreciate if someone can help me here.

 

[ZoomZ]

Thought the software included in the CDrom are downloadable from the website?

Thank you for replying. I wanted to change the pic style in the 5D but can't get the laptop to recognize the camera. Notebook running on win7-64 bit. Do i need a new usb driver?

Canon : Picture Style

i am stuck at step 3

unfortunately win 7 doesn't support the 5D classic. lol you have to do it on xp. or if you look through this thread someone mentioned another way round about it.

Don't think any shops carry the 5D classic new. you can try trawling the forum buy and sell or go down to 2nd hand shops in peninsula, but the prices there aren't too good

Anyone here using the Sigma 50mm f1.4? Any issues with back/front focusing?

 

[Odyssey-Boy]

Does anyone feel the white balance is a little in consistent when comes to super low light situations ?

It usually is. That's why shooting in RAW is always a better option

This thread is getting lesser and lesser pple posting shots. The classic is still a cheap entry point for FF. I personally just treat it as a chance to ultilize FF lenses, and instead of scanning my films, this is the "digital back"!

5D @17mm with ND filters.

Hahaha .. With so many new FF cams these days, this cam is selling for way too low to toss it! Why not just continue to make use of it! ;-)

Decided to send one of my photos for a huge print of A0 size, very satisfied with what this mighty 12mp body can do.

That sounds encouraging! How big is A0 size?... I am familiar with A3 and A4 size but not A0. I am very old school and still think in inches and feet (we're not completely metric in Canada).

I have a few photos that I need to print in a large size too and wasn't sure what I should bring into the store. After post-processing I converted one of the photos into a jpeg of about only 1 mb in size. Would the resolution of a 1 mb file be enough to print something the size of 2 feet by 3 feet (approx 2/3 of a meter by 1 meter)?

Would love to see the photo you had printed in A0 size Odyseey-Boy... could you post it here?
