Picked up the 5D at the end of last year based on other KZreadrs reviewing the camera. Never considered I would ever own or shoot a DSLR, but I don’t understand why. The 5D is simply incredible in many regards. It’s bulky yes, but not massively so, but the camera is so simple to use… you just set it and forget it. The OVF is bright and clear, the camera shoots for days with the batteries I have, the files are so nice to edit with gorgeous colour rendition and detail. The ISO performance is excellent. Even maxed out at 1600 iso I was surprised at how detailed the files are with acceptable noise, not an issue with today’s noise tools in ACR or LR. I’ve been shooting this thing non-stop ever since getting it with no regrets. Bought the 5Dii off the back of this purchase and now have an incredibly reliable rock solid workhorse. I use mine with the Canon 50mm f1.4 USM and adapted Olymous OM Zuiko glass and a few M42 lenses. Incredible value for money for a system that holds up very well today.

Did the same thing. Got both 5D and 5Dll from Japan. Both like new and love them. EF 35mm f2 a great lens for both.

Huge fan on the 5d classic, I was definitely blown away my the images!

I have 3 of them! They are fantastic camera bodies! The 5D forces me to slow down my shooting and focus more on the subject. Truly a fun camera to shoot with.

never thought I would see this video from you... great video my brother!

Thank you brother!!

I got the 5DmkII a year ago and I love it. Never tried the 5D classic. Is it noticeable the difference between the 5D classic and the 5DmkII? Not in terms of quality, dynamic range, resolution, and all that stuff. I refer to the feel of the images and the character.

@lukasvanderlende

Definitely similar! Same lenses, similar sensor, but I think the 5d classic really shines in its affordability to get such a good picture quality

I bought a 5D2 last year for the same reasons you mention about the 5DC. I picked it over the R5 and R6 MKII.

About f/1.4 lenses...we needed them in the film era with ISO 100-400. Zero need now, unless you're shooting film. Also, modern/vintage focusing screens get no brighter after about f/2.5 and don't include focusing aids like micro-prisms or split image elements. So you're not alone in realizing that using native AF lenses is far more accurate. The OG Canon 5D isn't a film camera, but it has a WAY smaller impact on the environment than manufacturing/transporting/developing film. And gives you a filmic look. My Nikon D700 is the same. Would love to hear your thoughts on Chemical vs. Green Photography Lukas.

Nice review and dope stetson! Curious how much editing you did on the family snaps? Colors look just perfect! I know you mentioned the WB shift so are they just sooc jpgs? I've only shot raws and edited my files in LR from my 5D.

Thank you! I still edit them, so not sooc but I find that that WB shift helps with the skin tones while I edit

Queen Mum still rules 4me, thank you for sharing. The pixels are 8,2um...maybe this and the canon colors are still a cool vintage view on this. And the Glass is important..ef50 1,2L i.e.Greetings from a leica fanboy....

Leica is still king for me, but this is a fun around the house camera!

Which picture style do you tend to use along with the A2,G2 WB adjustment?

Standard profile

I'm really tempted to use my 5D classic for upcoming events/weddings. I would like to take photos with a different style than I would have when shooting with my A7iii, not paying attention to the technology, the burst of shots, the super precise autofocus and other things. Yes, it might be crazy to shoot with the 5D instead of the A7iii, but the feeling I have shooting with the Classic is beyond. Even the look is really different in the photos. Knowing that to shoot weddings with the Classic I would have to get another one as a backup, in your opinion is it recommended to shoot with the 5Dc nowadays for weddings?

@lukasvanderlende

I don’t think it’s crazy to use for a wedding. The only major draw back I see is the single CF card slot. When I do a wedding I always like having two card slots for backups! But maybe bro going it along for some fun more unique shots to a few weddings would give you the practical experience you need to make that decision and if it’s right for your workflow!

Hello,great video What dy you mean by A2 G2 and neutral?? Can you please elaborate,it will help me,i have this same camera just bought it,i am a beginner in photography,thanks

On the first page of the settings there’s an option called white balance shift, I shift it +2 for A and +2 for G to help with skin tones.
