[megardstorm]

This thread should be here to discuss n share regards 5D mark II issue. Does it benefit by putting all the 5D mark II user nick here !!!

Just my 2 cents of thought

I agreed with you.

Having the people in the list does not benefit to this thread at all. The thread title should change to user list instead.

BTW, I have a question.

When I playback the images, I click on Zoom In, then Zoom Out. However, I did not know what setting I did, my zoom out /* button exit the image instead of zooming out.

Anyone know the reason why?

[mimik07]

Hmmm, mine works fine. Anyway, have been trying to help you figure out but no luck so far

Under Custom Function (2nd menu from right)>
C.FnIV Operations/Others>
2: AF-ON/AE Lock Button Switch > DISABLE

When you enable it, the (*) becomes AF = same function as half press shutter

EDIT: Oh, if you are used to using (*) for focus (habit from 5D?) den the AF-ON button becomes your zoom out. =D

[Blackwolf]

I just brought the 5DMKII with 24-105L and the seller told me that this camera does not go well with the flash 580 ex the older model. He say 580ex will under expose must upgrade the flash to 580exII is it true?

 

[mimik07]

Ah, nice find Tony! (hope i remembered your name correctly)
Thanks for the tips!

Totally disagree. In fact my previous 580EX expose better than my 580EXII on 5D2.
580ExII underexposes on most shots so I always +1 to compensate.

Thanks for sharing. Will keep my flash and save some money to get the other lens.

 

[pattanct]

does any guys here have both 35L & 50L together?

 

[frankchn]

Nope, but I've tried the 50L - didn't like the focal length on FF.

 

[pattanct]

Nope, but I've tried the 50L - didn't like the focal length on FF.

to my understanding, 35mm give a more human perspective of view, whereas 50L give better bokeh...but wonder any body keep both?

 

[primeminister]

waiting to get my 5DII next tuesday with a 16-35L II lens for a start.

grand start....$5k++

 

[jonathann]

Basing on the scenario mentioned, just hand holding the body or mounting the body on a tripod without supporting the lens, anyone knows where can i find information on what is the maximum weight (lens) the 5DM2 mount can hold. Thanks.
