Sven Jeppesen (just saw your question on the previous page) - My first goal was to test the ability to focus manually with the stock screen in the 5D3 compared to the EG-S screen in the 5D2. So I spent a day shooting this way. That\'s why I did not use focus confirm - it was to test what others had said about the stock screen in the 5D3 being equal to the EG-S screen in the 5D2.
The purpose of my renting the 5D3 was to try it out and see how it compares to the 5D2 so I obviously had to use it first, in a way that is comparable to my use of my ZE lenses on the 5D2. After this was done I moved on to using focus confirm without any micro-adjustment (results were not impressive), and now after doing the AF calibration, I\'m going to shoot with it tomorrow as a final test.
As I have said, YMMV, and shooting stopped down with AF calibration should give a very good keeper rate with the 5D3. But at f/1.4 or at f/2, I don\'t know as I have not been able to have a very high rate of in focus shots.
