i have a 500d to take photos of my 5dII... but i wont take a pic of the cam, i shall instead post pics taken with the 5dII. i have a model shoot next weekend, and always have my beautiful wife to take pics of.
 
got it home and fired up, but its dark... so no images to be posted yet. What is amazing though is that the 50mm f1.4 is soft on my 500d, but on FF its suddenly nice and sharp (and very very sharp past f4)... weird. the extra DOF is just beautiful.

my 500d now feels like a toy.

anyone know whats the minimum CF speed i can get away with. I have 400x which they chucked in, it seems a bit excessive so i will prbably sell it on the bay and buy a few slower speed cards
 
went for a quick stroll last night so this is really a just a snap


5dII test 1 - evening snap by adamau5, on Flickr

5dII test 1 - Akita by adamau5, on Flickr

cant wait to do my first shoot with it... i am blown away by the quality of images campared to the 500d, there is a creamy quality to them that is just so pleasing to the eye. Oh, and 50mm on a full frame is a heavenly length!

Another hug plus point is my new found ability to crop and retain all the detail... i thank you ff sensor!

i cant vouch for the 1.2, but 50mm f1.4 centre point focus i would say 8/10 if the subject is relatively still, decrease that massively if they are moving or dancing etc...

using the outer points it is less accurate

Sounds similar to my 85mm 1.8.
In your opinion, would you say the 17-50mm 2.8 was slower but more consistent?
I feel it has been for me, but then again the 17-50mm has more DOF, so maybe that's the reason...

I dont think that its more consistant, its just the margin of error at 1.4 is so small... you literally have a focal plane a couple of inches wide, if someone leans forward just a little after focusing ... you get oof.

@2.8 you a greater margin for error.
