Very beautiful! I’d love to know what settings you used for the night shots (ISO, etc).

Most of it was with the 50mm 1.2 at 1.2 with shutter at 50 and the ISO controlled the exposure.
I will try and get the Colin the cameraman to reply too

Looks like the lens really makes a big difference. Great, now I’m going to start obsessing over l-series lenses…

Let me put it this way, I will never buy another zoom 🙂

Good work there Peter, very nice flow. I have the 7D and am wondering if you have had any experience of artefacts with 5Dmk2 footage that some people seem to be experiencing and if so, to what degree? I haven’t experienced anything that is noticeable or even detectable on a large screen and am wondering if it may be a difference in the cameras. I watched your piece in HD and it looks fantastic, so perhaps this may be a compression issue or even a hardware issue?
Would be interested in your thoughts.
Thanks
Joe

Assuming I have a ‘bearable’ zoom, would you recommend the 1.2 50mm as my first L lens? Especially if the goal is to make the most out of night shots and low-light?
-
There is some aliasing and also moiré with fine patterns – but you will get that when evrything is razor sharp.
I’ve seen some compression artifacts, but that has been at low, low light levels.

I cannot stress how good the 50mm 1.2 is. 🙂 Not cheap though, but it makes the 5D a different camera.
You will not be disappointed.

Thanks for the tip. Picked one up today. Thank God for write-offs!
