5D Mark III sample studio portraits

Some I shot today (yesterday, now).

Processed and output directly out of DPP. Will clean up the background/edges and push them to pure white in post.

All shot with the 70-200mm f/2.8L USM lens and all at 1/125s f/5.0 iso400.

Large versions here, here, here, here and here.

This camera is unlike anything else I've shot. The new BG-E11 grip is absolutely fantastic -- it melds with the rest of the body seamlessly and is reminiscent of the 1-series bodies. The addition of the new joystick on the grip is so good!

I'll be shooting 70 headshots today. Will be lots of fun!

Very nice shots Humayun, but I'm a little confused. Are you implying that the 5D Mark-II would now suddenly be incapable of producing the same? Or, are you simply saying that you're enjoying using the newer camera?

PS - Where are you doing these?

Well Chris I was also thinking along those lines, before the mark 3 the Mark 2 was the ants pants, then before that it was the 5D original, i suspect they all would produce a fine image, I have one.

Not hanging it on H, as they are all nice shots, but would not any of the other 5D's produce the same, and I'm sure the lens has a lot to do with it,

The 5D and 5D Mark II don't hold a candle to the 61-point focusing system on this camera.

You simply do /not/ have to focus and recompose any longer. You choose the point closest to/on the eye and it's guaranteed to lock on. Particularly in Spot AF mode (won't lock on to the frame of a pair of glasses someone is wearing and will focus on the eye instead). In addition, for a few shots, I enabled AI Focus AF and let the camera take care of my slight rocking or the subject's movement in tracking mode.

Yes, I could have done these with the older cameras (and, I love them to pieces -- both of them were game changers), but, to for me to deny that the new camera is better (has slightly more dynamic range, better/cleaner ISO performance) would be folly.

I will still shoot my other two cameras as I love them lots and they have produced me many wonderful images.

I guess the post didn't make much sense without quantifying why I felt it was like no other camera I have shot before: the focus system, the focus system and the focus system!

Not picking on ya H, just wondering about this 5D line up, I suppose one should try them out before commenting to much.
