No it's not like that really..I had to rent a Canon 5D Mark III for a recent wedding I second shot this past weekend and tried it out a couple of days before the big day - since I shoot with a Nikon primarily, I wanted to be completely familiar with the camera by the wedding date. It finally gave me a chance to see what all the hub bub was about though. It took me a bit to get used to the controls but everyone was right - there really is something about Canon colors and just its overall effect on the images that I can't really put my finger on it. It's sort of dreamy? I don't know what it is...but, the auto focusing - man that is a bummer. Apparently it's an improvement over the AF on Canon. My Nikon is just SO MUCH FASTER..and even with that sometimes I use manual focusing on my lenses (actually my 85 1.4 is a manual focus lens) - anyway, I know this should be for my photography blog too but I just can't keep up with all of my blogs anymore. I just need to choose one! or two...

Anyway, the above images are taken with the Canon 5D Mark III & an 85mm 1.2L (except the last image the lens was a 50mm 1.2L). Previous blog images posted here would have used my usual camera which is the Nikon D600 & most likely my beloved nifty fifty - 50mm 1.8G

(the wedding photos, you'll have to wait or go see it on my actual photo blog when I get to blog about them!).
