Hi, I hope somebody more knowledgeable can help. I am buying a Camera Canon EOS 5 DS -R which is provided without the Canon software. Am I right to think that it is not a problem, as it can be downloaded from this website? Also, looking at the options that could be downloaded (Canon utility), only the model EOS 5 D is available as the closest to the Canon EOS 5 DS -R. I guessed that it is the same range and that should be ok, but I would like to be sure. Any advice would be great.
I also had 2 different pieces of advice regarding the lens I could adapt on it. I want to use for photographying painting and doing prints. My previous Canon camera had a Tamron lens: Tamron AF Aspherical XR DiII LD [IF] 18-200mm 1:3.5-6.3 Macro 62 A14, that I would reuse and adapt to my new camera above. Do you see any issue with this? Sorry it is a lot to ask but I feel slighly out of my depth:) until I learn more. Thank you in advance.
