5d MK II > 50D

Edit: BTW YOU SHOULD USE FLASH TO MAKE IT BETTER!!! (I was told this upon shooting Andromeda)

Oh haha, yeah the 5DII was pretty sexy in noise handling. But i think i have to send mine in for repair The upper left and lower right AF point refuses to AF on anything even in daylight with contrasty objects.

And why flash? Do you mind linking me? I don't have any objects in the foreground.. I don't see how the flash would benefit it???

The flash thing is a joke. It's like when I was laughed at in a monster truck show because "my flash wasn't working".

Yes, you need repair. The AF should not be that bad.

You're a horrible troll, you had me googling why I knew it didn't make sense zz.

At first i thought my 24-70L was defective, guess my first time using that particular AF point. Had me scared for a sec until i try a different AF point. I think i got a pretty good copy of the 24-70L, this is 100% crop ^^

That's very decent. I believe mine is just as sharp, if not a tad bit sharper. You're lucky, I've seen 24-70L's that are less sharp than the 18-55 kit lens of a Sony cropped sensor.

No way... anyway.. i'm calling canon to see how much it'll cost to repair my 5dii.

Don't you have a warranty?

a good signature or watermark doesnt fuck up the whole picture. eek´s does though. he spent quite some thought into the actual design and I guess it´s alright, not really pro looking but alright. nevertheless he should stick to more subtile colors such as black / white or grey, as I said before. the red just stands out way too much in that blue image.

@ eek: I´m not trying to sound cocky or anything, just trying to help you. and I think I´m pretty experienced when it comes to designing stuff. If you´d be aiming on a professional looking signature for your work, you´d propably go for a name only typeface, without any boxes / lines / chinese signs. They might look good on company logos, but the main idea of such signatures on photographs is to let the viewer know your name. not more, not less. A subtile and clean font writing your name would do the job.

It was bought use.. but small update. IT'S NOT MY CAMERA.. IT'S MY 24-70L, all my other lenses don't have this problem

I posted this in another forum but here

Does anyone have an issue like i'm having? I just bought a new 24-70L from amazon last week and i noticed that on my 5D Mark II, one particular AF point refuses to work with my 24-70L.


These are the AF points on my 5D II, the x is the one that refuses to focus on anything.


--------- 0
----0----------0
0--------0---------0
----x----------0
---------0

It seems odd that only 1 point doesn't work. I've tested it with my 100L, 135L and sigma 50/1.4 and they all work just fine.

I made a little vid to show the problem. *(yes i meant little little)/
