With the 5D and the elusive 58mm f/2 'Sonnar' Takumar from the late 50's:

I understand why FF is cumbersome. Indeed, the weight is not nice... But the viewfinder and the pictures are. So I have a cheap old 5D and I will keep it for my MF lenses.
Today I used my cheap Meyer 100mm f/2.8 Orestor. I find it hard to say, but the Orestor definitely trounces any of the 105mm Takumars I have ever tried. It trounces them on sharpness, bokeh and even microcontrast...

It seems that we are the only fullframe shooters on this forum, Jay :lol:
How can you tell this photo was taken in The Netherlands? Shot with my newly acquired Yashica ML 21mm f/3.5 (Contax/Yashica mount).

Interesting effect in the last shot, Jay! And the series with your son is very nice too (especially with the captions).
A few more with the "fullframe look" :)

Same girl, same lens (Carl Zeiss Jena 80mm f/1.8 Pancolar stopped down slightly), same camera, shot around the same time in the same spot. But the processing was slightly different ;)

Jay, I really like your style. I'd love to do something like that, but I feel uneasy working in B&W. I'll stick to my own style I think... :)
Shot with the 5D and a very old Canon kit lens: the EF 28-70 3.5-4.5 II. I was told this comes VERY close to Canon's L zooms with regards to IQ. Or so I was told...
All handheld (and the 5D certainly is not a high-ISO machine).

So much for the "Full Frame is not needed" camp. Once you have tried the format, there's no way back. :p

The fun thing about the 5D is that every lens seem to shine on it :)

How the FA* 80-200 and FA* 85/1.4 (edit: and also the F* 300/4.5) perform on the 5D (the lenses are unharmed of course as I used a small extension tube between the 5D and the lenses).
I believe the FA* 85/1.4 is not at its best here because I had to use it at its infinity setting. And we all know that the FA* 85/1.4 does not excel at infinity...

How about using a $20 100mm f/2.8 Pentor lens wide open on the 5D, and even nailing the focus?

Today it was dreary cold, and I had no real inspiration, but I'm posting the pictures anyway :)
I used the 55mm f/1.8 S-M-C Tak. Why? Because it is a superb lens, cheap, and can be used on the 5D from infinity to the MFD without any modification to either the lens or the camera.

I have been told that the FD 85mm f/1.2 S.S.C. Aspherical is Canon's best 85/1.2. I don't know, but let me give you a 100% crop of the shot in question. I think it's pretty sharp for a f/1.2 shot!

Thanks! And indeed, that was the hardest part (making him stand still).
And now the technical part: I mounted the lens the Q&D way. I used a PK to Canon EF adapter, and on that a Canon FD to PK adapter with the glass removed. This shot was made with the lens at infinity. I like this lens so much that I'm thinking about having it converted to EF mount. However, I doubt if it's a good decision because there could be a FF EVIL on the horizon, in which case having it converted is paying money for no additional benefits...

RMC Tokina 17mm f/3.5 PK-mount on Canon 5D.
(The Tokina works as-is without any modification, on a PK to EF adapter, because it does not have a diaphragm lever protection flange).

It was meant for fun, Guys! The M85/2 does not work on the 5D because the diaphragm protection flange interferes with the mirror (I get an error 99 if I try to take the photo, and no I'm not modifying my lenses but I will shave the 5D's mirror). The Canon lens does work on the K-5 because I use an adapter with corrective element.

No fullframe shots (yet!) but I could not resist the big sensor which came at a very attractive price :)
