Thanks Daniel, yeah definitely seeing that with this data. I am just used to having full frame with my 6D. I'm finding the 533MC to be a little too tight with framing. Obviously the 2600MM is an option for me but again, after using the 533MC I don't really want to go to a smaller sensor than full frame. And gee the jump to 6200MM is huge in terms of cost. I guess you would be in a similar situation, although the 2600MM would be a jump from the 1600MM at least.

Thank you Pete, much appreciated. I was pretty happy with the result considering the firsts.

Something I mention often to various people, if your monitor isn't colour calibrated you're not seeing the same results as someone whose monitor is. I guess most people who do this do calibrate the monitors.
Even a cheap monitor calibrated with one of the many cheap-ish devices is good. I even saw one given away in the classifieds once, a week after I paid $100 for the same thing.
Thanks Leo. Funny you mention that, I was watching a video on YouTube about calibrated monitors last night. Pretty interesting as I didn't know how cheap you could get them for. I'll have to look into it. Cheers again for that
