I bought the Canon 5d Mark II used a couple months ago, mostly to use 
for aerial photography with my Leica APO 70-180 f2.8. On its first 
use to photograph a five acre ranch from about 1200 feet altitude, 
you can clearly read the For Sale sign!

Attaching a Summilux R 50mm F1.4 and setting ISO to 3200 makes for an 
incredible all-weather night-fighter. The Canon Eg-S viewfinder 
screen for fast lenses gives great focus capability in low light, 
too. I posted photos from our local Saturday Night Arts Alive art 
walk evenings. These are from two different outings, include night 
shots in a light rain.

It feels like I finally have the camera body worthy of the R 
lenses,  and I am loving the fine detail even at high ISO.
