Hi all,
I'm about to enter into the MFDB stuff with the AFD II and P30 RF (refurbished). I read a lot of info in the web but still would appreciate if I have any extra advice. My questions are:
1. AFD vs AFD II: is it worth to pay extra for the II version?
2. Are you happy with the noise at, say, 200 ISO?
3. How fast / slow is this kit? One shot per ... sec?
4. Is x1.3 crop bothering anybody?
5. Is shooting tethered comfortable?
6. Any good experience of shooting subjects / still-life with extension tubes with some other lens besides 120mm Macro lens?
I'm currently using Canon 5D and shoot mainly people (models / actors) or subjects for commercial advertising.
Thanks a lot!

I have no complaints at all..
It is a lot slower than Canon which I also use when needed.
As far as I know the AFDII is the way to go and the one I have.
Only been shooting the P30 at 100 iso and never used the Canon more than that either.
There is a BIG difference in quality to me (coming from 5D and 1dSMII)
But I still reach fro the Canon on many occasions as it is easier to use in a lot of situations.
But portrait,advertising etc.. all go with the P30 now for sure.
The detail is way better "to me"
Just had a couple of clients this week actually called me just to tell how incredible my "new" files are..
I could not believe it as I thought not many would noticed, but they are.
I drive through town and I can tell which campaigns are shot with MFDB and which are not.
There is a difference.
I have not shot the 1DsMIII but can only imagine it is really similar to the 1DsMII and not that much of an improvement to upgrade.
Good luck they are pretty darn cheap now a days... keep you eye out for a good deal.
