Had a need and market to produce top quality full frame lenses.Īnyway it all adds to the thought process for Pablo. Worried me and Canons production of a full frame digital impressed me because they still Silent feature sounds (or doesn't !) cool, but I've lived this long with the quiet enough 1V.Īs I said the two systems are fairly comparable (nothing on one works outstandinglyīetter than on the other, except IS, which I understand is licenced to Nikon byĬanon, albeit a generation behind, for use in their VR lenses) but Nikons lens issues Landscape work I know but it is nice to auto bracket fast before clouds move. Rates, the F6 is still slower even with the drive than the 1V with drive, not very relevent to Viewfinders and that was the main thing going for the F5 when I was looking. The F6 seems to have lost functionality, I always liked interchangable I'm sure the Nikon forum would disagree!Īt over $600 more I would have thought the F6 should be better than equal! MyĬomparison was with the F5 because that was the competition when I bought into an AFģ5mm system. It is fun, and I can 'waste film' on sport and stuff with it whilst useing pro optics. Pro zooms, flashes, 50 f1.4, 300 f2.8 IS and now also have a 1D, so far I have found theyĬompliment each other very well though I wouldn't use the 1D for weddings or landscapes Who earn their livings with them don't think so either.įinally I don't regret my choice for a second, I got two 1V bodies and drives and a set of Specifically the 1V and 24-70 f2.8 L is a great combination, a lot of people will say it's tooīig and heavy etc but it really depends, I don't find it so and many wedding photographers Than anything else, not relevente for the 24-70, but the 70-200 IS is an awesome tool. IS is anĪmazing feature, don't underestimate it, Nikon lost more pro shooters to this one feature Investment in pro glass to keep pace with that, this is not the case with NIkon. Point for me, I wanted film but thought at some time I would use digital and wanted the

All the Canon EF lenses will work on all the Canon digitals, this was a major selling Whilst not a major concern, comparable pro Canon lenses seem to be cheaper than Your useing film) all the EF lenses and a few specialty lenses are there for the taking.

Canon don't have this problem (just ignore the three EF-S lenses as Nikon lens system seems to be in complete disarray, some lenses don't work or meter on One type to another but all good photorgraphers can get fantastic results from either. The differences in metering and performance are small, some people preffer Made small (it really isn't that big with no drive on it) the F5 can't, this can make a hugeĭifferance. I went for Canon, the 1V can be used without the drive so it can be Well I won't answer the question you're not asking.
