Canon EOS 5D Digital SLR Camera Body

07 Sep, 2016

Classic camera

All of the original 5Ds are now old, so old that most cameras of this vintage are long gone. But the 5D is a very well-built and still is a viable choice. Unless you want very large prints from your photos (say, bigger than A2) then 12.8mp is enough and there are advantages in having, by current standards, relatively few megapixels for such a large sensor. I bought this camera to use with legacy lenses that give the look I want and it's been perfect for that. Downsides? There are a few: it's heavy, a real brick. There are some features on modern equivalents that you won't find on the 5D like live screen, video and the sensor shows its age if you bump up the iso much from the base 100. After a good deal of experiment I've settled on using a Leica Summicron R with a focus-confirm adapter and the results have a 3-D pop that is really exceptional. It's a superb camera for the enthusiast.

Canon EOS 650 35mm SLR Film Camera Body Only Black (1091658)

23 Aug, 2017

OK so far

I've put only one film through my EOS650 so far so I can't really say how reliable it will be in the longer term but early signs are good. It appears well-built, it autofocuses well and the film was perfectly exposed. I wanted a film EOS for my Canon lenses and thought that this one, as the first EOS, should be a good start for a cheap price. It's like a big point & and shoot, easy to use and good in the hand.

Minolta Rokkor 50mm F3.5 Macro Lens MD c/w Matched 1:1 tube NEAR MINT CONDITION

Cheap Scanner

If, like me, you shoot black & white film and need to scan negatives there really don't seem to be good choices. I tried a negative scanner first of all but the software was awful and results patchy: some negatives had void areas where the scanner seemed unable to read. Then I tried a top-end flatbed scanner. It arrived broken and scans had a line right down the middle. Apparently this is a common problem that can develop at any time and as the scans did not look good quality I sent the scanner back. Then I read an article about using a macro lens on a digital camera and bought a Contax macro lens. This worked very well but the lens is huge; OK for my Canon 5D but not for my Fuji X-pro. i bought this Minolta macro lens to fit to my X-Pro so I could focus using liveview and I now feel at the end of my scanning quest. The Minolta gives nothing away to the expensive and wonderful Contax in image quality and although it is miles lighter it feels well-built and a quality item. I've not yet used the lens for any purpose other than scanning but I could not be more pleased.
