Canon 5D MK I 'classic' - owners thread

Out of interest are you using any exposure compensation? When I got mine I found it over exposed compared to what I was used to and was advised this was usual and to set exposure compensation at minus one stop or slightly less. Seems to work for me but according to the video I think you posted, you should ETTR to get the best of the sensor especially at higher ISOs. Conflicting advice as usual!
 
I did try adding a 1.3rd stop on some Archie but found it best not doing so.agreed a bit conflicting, still early days for me, stumbling a bit in the dark lol no pun intended but getting a bit more used to it.
thanks
 
You seem to be enjoying the camera, not bad for £200 or so. I just really like the way it renders colours. Do you ever do any work!
