My Long Relationship with the 5D Mark II

I shot the 5D Mark II professionally for over 10 years before switching to mirrorless. Although there are other old DSLRs I love more, none of them are better, or even as good, as the 5D Mark II. Given what the 5D2 bodies are going for these days on the used market, this is an excellent choice for anybody looking to buy a DSLR in 2024 and beyond.
