5D3 + AF assist beam = slower focus

Hello All,

 

While I am new on these forums I have been on the Canon Rumors Forums for a few years now, 

 

I really wanted to bring this too the attention of you and Canon as it is simply a highly important problem, those of you that don't know, the 5D3 suffers serious focus locking issues when a Canon speedite is attached in Low light, the AF assist beam causes lag with the AF from the 5D3, this makes it virtually impossible to achieve focus in low light when the speedlite is attached, I wanted to bring the topic to this forum, so I have pasted a link to all the discussion we have already had about this problem at Canon Rumors.com - see below

Please help in letting Canon know this is a very serious problem and effects the cameras performance in most working environments when a speedlite is attached and working in low light, conferences, nightclub work, weddings etc, and can stop the photographer completing the job or task.

 

Regards

And no 2nd curtain flash on the new radio transmitter as I understand it.  What's the deal with that?

Why do so many people say "FER-tographer"? Do they take "fertographs"?
