I have used only STKs for some time. They have a much longer life than the Canon units in my experience. I started using them when I shot with my 40d, moved to a 6d and the appropriate STK batteries. I buy via Amazon.

I upgraded from a 40D for two major

readons; 1: larger sensor with more

resolution so I could crop deeper; 2:

incredible low light abilities. On the

minor side was wifi which I use often

now. But the main reasons I upgraded

have been satisfied. I like the 6D very

much.

I added a Canon grip to my 6D

because I have big hands. It makes it

feel perfect to me. I don't like a neck

strap so the grip strap adds to its value

for me as does the additional battery

slot; it feels more industrial (sort of) like

the Nikon tanks I used overseas years

ago. If you're happy with most other

aspects of the 6D, you might try that.

Additionally, swap in a bigger card.

That with two batteries will give you

much longer shoot time.

Good point on the micros; I use them in

XM and other music products. Never

have in photo. Will need to try that!

Again, good point.

I take 4 fast 64gb units with me

wherever I go, plus an 8gb just in case.

I have a 6D and have never run out of

space. I agree, it would be good to take

the 7d. The adjustability and night

metering will be sorely missed....I also

take a small MacBook Pro in my

backpack so I can do initial keep/don't

keep at night in the hotel. On the other

hand, the cards should not be hard to

find in any of those countries.

It's a very interesting unit with many

possibilities; I don't think I need that

resolution yet. Though I'm very happy

with my 6D and it's awesome lowlight

ability, I'll watch the 5ds until it's time to

upgrade. Glad Canon now tops the

sensor size war for the moment; they're

thinking!

Good test shot. I didn't see any reason

for the more expensive version.

Simpler is better!

It is the Fotodiox Lens Mount Adapter,

Black M42 (42mm x1 thread Mount),

mounts screw thread lens to EOS

body. Have to remember to manually

stop the lens down. I bought it to adapt

an old Yashica bellows/slide copier that

I bought overseas and never used. The

consumer grade scanners are not

acceptable; thought why not use my

6D's scanner. The Zeiss lens is

excellent.

I just got a good one through Amazon.

My old Zeiss works great and infinity is

there. I'll try to post when I get home....

I like the Canon EOS 6D Digital Field

Guide by Michael Corsentino.

I put Beattie screens in my OM-1s and

OM-4s. Still seem slightly dimmer tan

both my old 40d and new 6d although I

did put an architectural screen in the

6d. It seems brighter to these old

eyes....
