To be closed, i found one Surprised



Hello everybody.

In order to make a friend to my K10d, i would taste FF (cause i have several manual focus lenses in different mount and i think canon would be the best brand for this).

If someone want to sell one, PM me Smile

Regards,

Good decision. You'll get so much more out of your lenses. Smile Especially wideangles.

Indeed, but you'll regret the bad user interface of the 5D. Please don't compare it to your K10D, Canon still had a lot to learn then Wink

Yes, i think so.

But i want a FF...and with my K, m42 and C/Y lens, 5D would be the best.

I'd hold tis off until the end of September. Let's see if Pentax has a FF model up its sleeve!

I'm not sure what your issue is with the 5D interface TBH. I think it works very well and a colleague of mine believes some features (image review for example) is actually much better implemented than that of his Nikon D3s.

Yeah the camera is a little long in the tooth now, but the images produced are fantastic and look at all those extra lenses that can be mounted! Very Happy

Are you talking about the menu? Basically the only thing I use it for is to enable/disable MLU, and I can even do that fairly quickly.
The only thing I don't like is the position of the ISO button: I have to reach for it a little bit too much (and I don't have short fingers). For some stupid reason they put the metering mode/FEC closer to the shutter release than the ISO button.

I only held a K10D once, and I just noticed how small and weird the viewfinder looked. Wink

Of course you can never be sure, but Pentax made it pretty clear that they weren't planning to release a FF model, haven't they? Don't they also have quite a number of DX lenses?

Pentax K lenses need some modification to the aperture pin and it's shield to be able to mount them on a Canon body. The upper part of the mirror box is in the way of the pin, so you either have to cut off part of it or in some cases you can unscrew them when you open the mount first.
Mirror clearance isn't a problem for most K-lenses, I think.

I like your sense of humour, but I'm afraid you may be right. Laughing

I've only tried one K lens on my 5D, the SMC-A 50/1.4 and it worked fine all the way to infinity Smile

I as well don't have to complain about 5D interface either !! Image reviewing isn't the main concern, the screen is good, there's enough tools without gadgetery and IQ is superb.

Grab one, as an affordable full frame there's no other to compete with now. By the way i just begin to enjoy mine correctly so selling isn't scheduled Very Happy
