| Canon EOS 6D |
On March 11th, 2012, ZR posted that the new 5D mk3 disadvantages manual lenses with a fixed focusing screen. Now the new 6D has an interchangeable focusing screen again. MF shooters regain the opportunity to change their focusing screens as it was possible with the 5D mk2. The 6D will therefore become the new small body for ZE lenses.
Question: ZR has conflicting information whether the 6D (as the 5D mk2) has a confirmation flash on the focus point or a green indicator dot at the finders bottom only? Please post a comment, if you have reliable information. Thanks!
Answer from Canon USA: (Quote) This works with Canon manual focus lenses (I used the (TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II)). First, you focus the lens. Next, press the shutter release halfway down to check for focus. If the lens is focused, you'll hear the AF beep and see the illuminated AF point in the viewfinder. I can't say if it would work for your Voigtlander Ultron manual focus lens, but I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't.
