Saturday  Bear_Music will be the owner of a Canon EOS 5D. I'll be looking forward to seeing some of his work with it. I'm sure it will be better than anything I did with it.

I recently bought a used 5D Mk I...
It is a great camera. I shot an event yesterday, some of it indoors. Due to the low noise at high ISO and great image quality, I was able to shoot without flash.
I love this camera!

But Bear's beloved 10-22mm won't fit the 5D - so that might almost even the odds for the rest of us!

Ohhhhh, he is going to LOVE IT! I bought one from a friend a few months ago, and I still am in awe of its ability to keep photos looking good at enormous sizes -- which also means you can crop a postage stamp out of it and keep a photo looking sharp and clean.
Congrats, Bear!

Congrats BM,
The 10-20 will probably fit, but the images will have to be cropped within the circle that the lens illuminates evenly on the sensor e/g 1.6 or APC sized.

As far as I know it would not be a good idea to try, the barrel of the lens protrudes into the area where the mirror flips and I am sure I read somewhere that it can damage the mirror...

Well, this thread is a LITTLE premature, but.... Penny and I are in on this together, she needs to get out of the Sony and into the Canon so we can share lenses. So between the two of us we now will have my Canon gear plus the 5D. Soon we'll acquire a 17-40mm for the 5D and that will cover the same wide as the 10-22mm on the 20D. So, really, it's more her camera than mine, but I imagine we'll be swapping it off with some regularity :-)

This being an internation web forum, I'm curious to how  NstiG8tr knew that Bear_Music would get a 5D within reach. Probably a logical explanation, though. Congratulations on the 5D! |

We bought it from him. See this thread.

5D in the house, folks! Awesome camera! Losing the reach of the cropped sensor is gonna take some getting used to, and for the moment I'm shy an ultra-wide, unless I use the 20D, which anyway I'm gonna have to a lot since Penny and I are already skirmishing over the 5d usage schedule, jejeje�. On the plus side, 28mm is fairly wide on this camera, so it's not a hopeless interim situation. The best part is the absolutely incredible high-ISO performance of this beast. Wow!

I have never cleaned the sensor on that body Robert. You might want to check it. I noticed a few spots when I took some beach photos back in late Feb.

Yeah, I've found 'em too. Pretty subtle, but I need to get some new swabs and I'll take care of 'em.

Good luck with the new camera.
The following is from Luminous landscape
Keep in mind though that the 10-22mm is an EF-S lens, which means that its designed to only cover the reduced frame size of these cameras. The lens will therefore not work with nor fit on any previous Canon body, though it is likely to fit on all future APS-C sized bodies that have the required lens mount. (The Canon D30, D60 and 10D do not have the new EF-S compatible lens mount flange. They can not be retrofitted, and though there is a kludged solution floating around the net, it can not be recommended, as it endangers the camera's mirror hitting the lens' rear element.)
Cheers

Right. We still have the 20D, so we can use the 10-22mm and the 60mm macro with that. We'll be getting a 17-40mm (probably) or a 16-35mm (in my dreams) sometime relatively soon. In the meanwhile the 28-75mm Tamron is still relatively wide on the 5D.
