There's still Something about the colors on the older 5D series that I like.

Canon 5Dc w 50 STM.
Teal'd the blues a bit, lifted blacks in Tone Curve. I forget if I started with a home-made preset in Lightroom...

Canon 5D Classic, was about to pull the CF card when my son brought our grandson Avery into my den so I snapped a quick shot.
I am still having trouble with the 5Dc focus points and getting it where I want it.

5D Classic, I have a EF 35-80 I picked up somewhere and decided this might be a good lens to leave on the 5D most times for just walking around. I wanted something lightweight like the 50mm nifty fifty, which I also have put on the 5D (after all I used a 50mm on my Pentax Spotmatic for 4 years in the Navy). I have heard that the 35-80 is soft and poor contrast and not worth it. So far with the few shots I have taken with it I am not disappointed with it. Yes it is a consumer lens but it is light weight and along with the 50mm make a good toss it in the car kit. I also have an EF 35mm and 85mm to use on it. The closeup of the 4x5's is just a zoom on the main shot with no extra processing or sharpening.

... I am still having trouble with the 5Dc focus points and getting it where I want it.

I use BBF and centre focus point 100% - focus where I want it and recompose and take the shot. I don't use any other focus point with my 7DII either lol... habit.

I am trying to set up BBF on the 5Dc I am sure it is in the custom functions but can't find or figure it out

it took me a while, let me peak at my menu and will share.

I figured it out but want to be able to use BBF as well as SBF but I guess with the 5Dc you have one or the other

You can't assign SFB to the C on the top dial? I've never tried.

Unfortunately my back display went all wonky today. Image reviews had lots of distortion - I hoped it was just the display and not the images. Fortunately, just the display...

50 STM.

50 STM at narrower apertures than I meant to...

Happy to report my display is fine... It was all distorted while outside in 1 Celsius (34F) weather... I just popped the CF card back in and all is well.

This was such a great camera. I had a 40D at the time and bought the 5Dc in 2012 used for very little money and was blown away by the files. They were so beautiful. I shot birds with it for 6 months or so. Mostly with the EF 300/4L and the 1.4xTC. A great combo. AF was not bad at all I thought, but it was slow and there was shutter lag, so I then bought a 1DIIN for my birds. But the 5D was used for everything else. I still love how the images look. You can see it in this thread too.
