These are wonderful Brian, your really getting on with the new 5D2. Looks like you used your 65 MPE for these. Question if I may, how have you found the lens with regards to focusing with on the 5D2 versus your 1.6x, easier, harder, just curious. Still mulling buying myself a copy as a self gift for Christmas.

Thanks for the comments all

Dave - find the 5Dmk2 and MPE-65 a great combo (not used any other lenses on it). Focusing is easier but not sure if this is down to the larger brighter viewfinder or the reduced effective magnification of the FF. Main differences with a 1.6 crop are just image detail capture and high ISO performance. I actually didn't notice much difference in image quality going from a 300D in steps up to a 40D but you certainly notice a difference with the 5Dmk2.

Thanks Brian, I kind of thought that was the case but it helps to get the straight information from someone with real experience.
