And now for the anti-climax: I'm probably going to pickup a 500d. /hides After some careful thought i came to the conclusion, that even though a 5d classic would give me that full frame look, it still wasn't the camera i really wanted. My ultimate dream camera would be the 5d Mark II. Full...

ok! I intend to get a fast prime but which all-round lens would you recommend ?

indeed :)

I have an old Nikkor 50mm 1.4 pre-AI. Which i use with my 35mm adapter on my camcorder. What convertor would i need to mount it on a 5d ?

I have to check out that lens. But i think i'm more into 85mm/1.4 or 50mm/1.4 lenses. I'm a sucker for shallow DOF :)

Thanks, for the encouragment. I thought i would get :bonk:'ed and :cuckoo:'ed more :) I'm still willing to consider a crop sensor if someone is able to convince me that a crop sensor can be just as good as a full frame sensor for portraits. Without having to resort to a more expensive lens...

Is there more to it than selecting aperture, shutterspeed and ISO ? I'm aware that glass>body. But since a fullframe will actually make me gain a few f-stops my 50mm 1.4 lens will perform like a 50mm 1.2 lens on a crop sensor. So one could argue that i actually save money buying a full frame...

Hi, What are your opinions on a 2nd hand 5d Mark I ? It would be my first DSLR. Maybe i need to learn to walk before i run, but i'm really keen on getting a Full Frame camera. Portraits look so much better on full frame imo. I wondered about getting a Nikon but Canon seems to be ahead...

My model is always grumpy. He's a very strange cat :) 35mm adapters are cool, but if i knew what i know now i might have gotten a Canon 5d, 7d or waited for a Nikon with good video capabilities. :bang:

good to know, thanks. As soon as you have a camcorder with filter threads it should work. It will be a bit harder to find a 35mm adapter which fits on filter threads smaller than 37mm though. But i'm sure there are solutions for that too. thanks ;)

Recently i bought a Sony HDR-CX505VE Camcorder. Surfing around the net i learned about 35mm adapters, which allow to put photo lenses on your camcorder to get a more cinematic/photographic look. So i got a Handy35 and a Nikkor 50mm 1.4(i believe AI) from ebay. Results of this setup can be...
