- Dropped but still working in live view...15 January 2013, 11:40 am
Hi, My 5D Mk II took a hell of a tumble (out a moving car; don't ask!) it works perfectly in Live View, but is so hugely over-exposed when used regularly that it is competely unusable, unless I needed a shot that is completely white! I have been told it sounds like the mirror box; as this is an expensive repair, I want to make sure my chain remains unyanked! Are there any experts that can confirm that this is probably right/wrong? Thanks!... - Is possible to programme in a sports preset ?13 January 2013, 11:29 pm
It seems there is no sports mode on the 5D! So one would think the next best thing would be to be able to customise a preset for sports. Having just tried to preset a sports mode & memorise into one of the Custom 'C' modes, I'm disappointed to find one can't set for example programme C1,C2 or C3 as a sports mode with max aperture & max ISO to ensure the fastest shutter speed possible. Plus switch off the unpredictable unreliable all too random multi spot AF mode. Or am I wrong. Is it possible ?... - 5D MKII Newbie queries12 January 2013, 11:59 pm
Hi Just bought a new 5D MKII from HDew cameras for an amazing £1125 plus 24-70mm f2.8L lens for £1475. VAT paid plus 3 year warranty on body & I was able to collect it from their warehouse in Surrey before paying for it. No wonder Jessops can't survive with internet competition like that. Plus I'be an 85mm F1.2 for £1000 off Ebay in mint condition. One thing that puzzles me is I don't know why Canon see a need to disable the thumb wheel from adjusting the aperture in 'M' mode which is wha... - REELS from 201210 January 2013, 3:53 pm
Hey guys, so I was wondering how everyone's '12 year went in cinematography as a whole.

Leica vs Zeiss Met gemengde gevoelens ben ik bezig om mijn huidige Leica objectieven set te verkopen en te vervangen door Zeiss objectieven. Zonder twijfel gaat het hier om twee van de beste objectief-bouwers en beide merken zijn op veel gebieden met elkaar te vergelijken maar toch zijn er een aantal herkenbare verschillen die de objectieven juist zo karakteristiek maken. Nu ik een deel van mijn Leica verzameling nog in bezit heb biedt dit mij de mogelijkheid om een aantal objectieven naast elka... - LEITAX1 November 2012, 6:52 pm

Mijn Canon 5D camera presteert veel beter met een Leica R of Zeiss ZF.2 objectief dan met een Canon objectief. Als het puur om fotograferen gaat zal je niet snel je heil moeten gaan zoeken in de klassieke objectieven van Leica en Zeiss. Tot mijn verbazing ben ik er namelijk achter gekomen dat de meeste fotografen alles lekker op auto-foc... - RECHTEN VRIJE MUZIEK13 September 2012, 8:37 am

Bij een fotografisch objectief zal je altijd de eerder genoemde vaste reeks aan getallen zien.

HDSLR 2.0 De volwaardige opvolgers voor de Canon 5D MKII dienen zich aan in de MKIII versie van de Canon 5D en in de Nikon D800. De afgelopen jaren heeft Nikon de slag op het gebied van filmen met DSLR camera’s verloren van Canon. Voor Nikon leek de filmfunctie zeker geen prioriteit te hebben terwijl Canon na de 5D en de 7D nog verschillende camera’s heeft uitgebracht die prima te gebruiken zijn om mee te filmen. Nu echter hebben Canon en Nikon twee op het oog vergelijkbare camera...
