Family photo, minus a 5D4 which I am holding.

but apparently they've got their skin tones sorted so its all fine ;)
Haha.

I have a friend that is very talented photographer; mostly events. He has done a number of weddings, although doesn't like the hassle of doing photo albums or working weekends.

He only uses Fuji for that reason, the out of the camera perfect jpeg skin tones.

He is a bit old school, from a film background. Turns up, takes the photos, and at the end of the event hands over the jpegs unedited.

I think for togs that work with a fast turn around, perfect skin tones and white balance from the camera jpegs are priceless.

I guess that is why a lot of them shoot Canon at the Olympics, like you said, editorial, fast sports events, you need to shoot and upload to Reuter within minutes of whoever won the 100m Gold. You want to be the first to upload that finish line photo up online. You shoot jpeg, you don't edit, you just get it done and send it out.

Funnily enough we both were ready to settle on the samyang but got a last minute deal on the Sony :D

Also if I'm to buy a 50mm-ish lens it'll be the canon 50mm F1, the rest at boring :D

How much did you get the Zeiss 35 for?

Funny you mention the Canon 50/1.0….I thought about it but it's too expensive and hard to find. Funny fact, the 50/1.2 isn't its true successor, the 85/1.2 is.

£850 and a coffee :D

Yeah not a fan of the 50mm/1.2, I almost prefer the canon 50mm/1.4.
Well I know someone selling 50mm f1 for £2300. But they hadn't found a customer in ages... Expensive is one thing it's also hard to come by

Damn, that's a good price for the Zeiss, and the 50/1.0 too.
 
Very good so far. Only had 15 mins with it in good light.

Good to hear, remember their will always be negative points but I think overall it’s a cracking camera for the money. :)
 
Not entirely sure, possibly the 200-500 f56 but may prefer something going from 100mm
The Sigma 100-400mm is very good. Should be ample reach for motorsport and is considerably lighter than the 200-500mm.
 
If you are interested in 50mm/1.0 I can ask him. Last time I checked he still had it. It's not a lens that sells easily by looks of it.

Well, I'd love to but it'll be a lens for collecting, rather than using. My money is needed to flush out my Sony system a bit first before I can buy things that i don't need. I will have to keep that in mind though, it sure is one for the collection.
 
For those who are interested this rumor site carries a bit on the rumoured upcoming Canon mirrorless cameras...

http://thenewcamera.com/canon-affordable-fullframe-mirrorless-in-2019/

What they say...

"According to latest rumors surfaced over the web, Canon is working on two different series of Fullframe mirrorless cameras, first they will announce High-End Mirrorless camera on Sep 2018 and after making 6 to 7 months of gap from pro mirrorless announcement they will introduce a new lower tier series camera to reach out more people. That clearly indicates the second (affordable) FF mirrorless announcement will happen in 2019 for sure.

Same strategy is being followed by Fuji and Sony, After Sony A9 ($4498 amazon.com) was announced back on April 2017 and once the sales number are reached to a certain point Sony introduced Sony A7 III ($1998 Amazon.com) camera on Feb 2018 with almost same core specs as of Sony A9 (Same sensor and same AF system) and all those with a price less than $2500 compared to Sony A9 flagship camera.

One more important thing that Source mentioned is “a really nice solution for EF lenses on the full frame mirrorless body” . That also silently confirms, no native EF Mount based Fullframe Mirrorless camera is coming."

That's nice :D

I think it's the same in a lot of manufacturing. Tesla does the same, you do the Halo car first, throw in all the tech at the high end one to get people excited, charge high so there is the profit margin to be hard then later with lower models, at this point hopefully some of the cost of R&D has been already paid for.

What does high end mean in this case though, 1D or 5D?
