Canon 1Ds Mk II - More Vintage CMOS + Full Frame + Pro Build, Budget Price!

[@mynameisnotcory]

Such a Beautiful build

[@Mr50mmish]

It really is build very well :)

[@mobilography6786]

I bought this camera 6 months ago. Its an impressing camera with great colours. Very sturdy and shutter sound is one of the best. Your amera reviews are cool!

[@Mr50mmish]

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you're enjoying the 1Ds!

[@tricogustrico]

I love my Canon 1Ds Mk II. Once a photo is taken nobody can tell what camera one used.

[@simonchan1454]

I bought a 1Ds2 last month, which is like a new one, and the shutter counts only 17K. The colour and image quality is so great. ❤ It only cost me USD 343.

[@Mr50mmish]

Nice, that's awesome! Pretty crazy it's shutter is so fresh! Hopefully you are enjoying it.

[@andrewgulland8012]

A thousand years ago i stopped using film and started using a 1Ds Mk2 for all my commercial photography jobs...I loved the full frame images it gave me and over the years I owned 4 of these money making beasts! In the end I swapped to the Nikon D3x due to its far better battery, bigger rear screen, bigger lens choice and slight better low light performance...this was a good choice as I still use that D3x for commercial jobs.

[@Mr50mmish]

Wow that's awesome! 4 of them eh? Yeah I do admit the older battery chemistry really can't stand up against Lithium Ion packs. The D3x is an awesome camera as well.

[@andrewgulland8012]

@@Mr50mmish Yeah and it was streets ahead of Nikon with a full frame 16mp camera in 2004!

Hey Mr. 50mm. Viewer from Newfoundland here. Love your videos. I always enjoy looking at images at our favorite city! I am doing the same thing. buying vintage digital and film cameras. Much more organic images and feeling. Can we get a few shots etc of your watch collection in the background? ha ha.

[@Mr50mmish]

Yo! Nice to meet you! Thanks! Yay it's always good to meet another collector. Sure I can probably post some community images up. I will say the watches I use in the background aren't super special haha. There are a lot of watches just out of frame in boxes or a glass case that are much more interesting :)

[@Mr50mmish]

Here's a better look at the watch wall plus a shot of 1 level of another display! kzbin.infoUgkxDewKgchFheqR-3EACV9rWRIkY5dY-S8Q?si=i4yqV9fqDddez1pe

[@zrnewf]

@@Mr50mmish one more thing. Does this camera have custom color profiles in the menu? I want to use the film simulation profiles and I am hoping this does it.

[@Mr50mmish]

@@zrnewf Yup it does have Canon's version of this the Picture profiles and you can set upto 3 custom ones

[@zrnewf]

@@Mr50mmish Awesome, thanks. just bought mine from Henry's today. As a bell/BCE employee I get a discount at Henry's on used gear! lots more to come soon!

[@bangerasiddharth]

Waiting for 1ds mark iii review! Cheers.

[@Mr50mmish]

Hopefully I can grab one for a good price, it is on my list of ones to pick up!

[@johnayres5182]

I have a Canon EOS-1Ds, but my favorite of all of my Canon DSLSs are my 3 Canon EOS 5D Mark ii cameras.

[@Mr50mmish]

The 5D II really was timeless, haha I'm on the lookout for one again, I do miss it after all these years!

[@Man_Cave]

When buying these used professional cameras they have usually had hard use and have exceeded the number of clicks for shutter life. Websites like KEH do not tell you the number either.

[@Mr50mmish]

That can be the case with well worn ones but it also doesn't mean it's going to die immediately, but true it is a something to take into account. I will say when it comes to pro build shutter counts it tends to be very high or very low, for example I have a Nikon D3s it's now over 500,000 clicks, but I also have a 1dx, I believe it was at 75k, my Kodak DCS 760 I think it's like at 7.9k? My phase one P45 and Aptus 22 are under 35k, And this 1ds Mkii looks like it's been through a great many.

[@daveinthewild]

MPB usually gives the shutter counts. I've picked up a few older pro bodies from there and the pictures on the website are of the actual gear your buying. I still buy lenses and film cameras from KEH.

[@johnayres5182]

I suggest that you buy used equipment from KEH. Their rating system is very good. The pricing I get from KEH is on par from buying from eBay, but much more trustworthy. KEH warranties their equipment also. To many negative purchases from eBay.

[@Man_Cave]

@@johnayres5182 The only problem with KEH is that they don't tell you how many clicks are on the shutter. Therefore, the shutter could die on the 190th day and you would be screwed.

[@alcedo_kf]

Also, its worth checking to see how many dead/hot pixels are present on these older pro bodies. I bought a beautiful, used condition 1Ds Mk3 (very low actuations) and the sensor was a mess with such pixels. Swiftly returned.

[@Nekojitablog]

I’m hunting a 1ds camera but I think I’m going with the 1ds Mark III because of the AF micro adjustment in camera. A few days ago I bought a 5D and it had a backfocusing problem with my 50mm f1.8 stm lens. What a bummer because I can’t adjust it by myself in camera.

[@Mr50mmish]

That's fair the 1Ds iii does have a lot of pretty nice user interface upgrades too along with the micro adjust! Let me know what you think of the 1Ds iii when you get it!

[@Nekojitablog]

@@Mr50mmishthank you! I’m waiting for a good deal on Mercari or Yahoo Auctions 😊

[@Mr50mmish]

@@Nekojitablog goodluck!

[@selkiemaine]

Sigh ... that was my studio camera for about 10 years. It died. Honestly, if the repair folks can get it working, may put it back into the bag. It's a hell of a camera. Yeah ... I paid the full price for the darned thing back in the day. I used the voice annotation a LOT.

[@Mr50mmish]

Wow that's awesome to hear about it from a user who got it new! That sucks it does though, any idea what was wrong with it.that caused it to break?

[@selkiemaine]

@@Mr50mmish I don't know. I put it away working, during a 6 year period I didn't do photography due to eye issues. When I got all that straightened out, I pulled it out of the drawer and got "ERR-00". I suspect it's corrosion, though there are no external signs of it - I did a fair amount of photography on the water. I checked briefly into repairing it - but since I wanted to treat myself and my new post-cataract vision, I bought an EOS-R and an adapter. That was in 2018, and I'm still stunned by the quality of the R and the R7 I added last year. It's sitting on my counter-top and I think I'm about ready to say "what the heck - fix the darned thing". I went back to some of my old art shots and, except for the higher noise, the quality is right there. I will say this - it did oversaturate reds a bit. I baked a little red desaturate into my Adobe Camera Raw when I did product photography with that camera. I took that adjustment out when I moved to the EOS-R.

[@Mr50mmish]

@@selkiemaine ah fair enough, it had a long run! I'm you got the EOS RF system and it's adapter though, the EF glass is still great! Ah yeah the old Canon color science! One day I will consider going back to the Canon RF system, I had the RP and it just never really took my breath away like the 5d2 did.

[@Scyth3934]

I suggest you get a teleprompter setup or something. Script reading is very clunky.

[@Mr50mmish]

I am looking into it, haha I might just have to do more takes in the mean time.

I think his style is wonderful, he is unique in his presentation not a me too guy doing what all the shill tubers do,

[@freddieslaughter1107]

What is the difference between the Canon 1DDDDx MK2 and the Canon 1DS MK2?

[@Mr50mmish]

As far as I'm aware (Don't currently own the 1Dx mkII but I do have the Mki) The sensor is much more modern, Dynamic range and high ISO on the 1DX should be pretty comparable to modern sensors today. The AF system on the 1DX mkii should also be notably better, the 1Ds Mk II is so slouch but against the 1Dx series it can show it's age. User interface is also notably different, the 1Dx series does away with the 2 button action system of the older 1D series.

pardon me sir... but Canadian use Maple 🍁 Syrup dollars 😂

pixelage

[@skyhigh1154]

Try remembering youre lines instead reading it of youre notes. Really amateur hour style this.

[@Mr50mmish]

Haha, easier said than done, scripts range from 3000 to 5000 words, and I am not pro KZbinr if you couldn't guess. I am indeed an amateur. I am working to deliver the lines better. If you have some advice other than "remember your lines" I'm all ears!
