Testing my 16-35mm f2.8 on the 5d
The photography manager at work let me take the 5d home for the weekend for a test drive. I’m in the market for a full frame camera and after shooting with it for about an hour, I’m pretty much sold. Taking images feels so much more like home to me for some reason. The full frame coupled with a wide angle lens is great!
It feels more mechanical and raw, rather than digital. Currently, I own a 40d, but that’s going to change real soon! Actually, I’ll probably keep my 40d as a back up and get the 5d mkII when it comes out. I just need to somehow come up with $2,700.
Anyway, here are the initial images I took.

Really enjoyed these pictures. Sounds like it is time to start saving up for the new 5D MKII. What I would struggle with is when to take a HD video vs a still photo, of course I would probably always opt for the still photo. A video of the man rolling what looks like a cigar just wouldn’t have the same essence as the photo you took. That’s pretty awesome the photography manager to let you borrow the camera
