I use the Ec-S on my 1D3 and love it. It's the super precision one that shows the DOF correctly on primes. Are any of those options the equivalent of that one?

I've been using the 3WM screen on my 1DmkV for a while, and it's getting me some stellar results. If you saw some of my flare shots, your face would literally melt. That's how hot they are.

3W-M is best... but I heard they're coming out with a 7DmkIII anyday that has better AF.. so don't waste your money on the 5D3.

Just buy the 2DV and be done with it.

3W-M will only help you on nights like tonight, just a few days out of the month really. EE-X tops the 3W-M any day and will even make the most of pitch black nights.

Didn't you know that out of focus shots is the new thing? 'correct' focus is SO 2008....

THAT is the coolest thing I've seen all week. Does he also cover an entire wedding for you? If he edits, as well, I'm all over it.

Not bad, of course I would need an Optimus Prime version for me to be serious about it.

Wait wait WAIT. This is important, so please respond, as this might sway my purchasing decision.......Is this an Autobot or Decepticon? I DON'T BUY NO STINKING DECEPTICONS!

If you used that for weddings, it would make you an autoBOB.

Hold off until the firmware update, Ken Rockwell reports AF issues.

If you think Ken found focus problems, wait until RG gets his hands on one. I'll wait for his blessings. It's not a Canon, so it could happen.
