Currently use a Canon 7d II (which I'm more than happy with) but I'm considering jumping up to full frame and pondering over a S/H 5D MkII

About 50% of my current lenses (I'm a bit of a "collector") are EF so no real problem there I'll have the coverage I want. I'm mainly into sports stuff and realise the 5D is not ideal, but want to try a bit more landscape & studio work. Any opinions ?

I'd want to be very clear about the benefits before making the change - eg shallow depth of field for portraits, better high ISO etc. I went FF back to a crop and have not regretted it but I'm very much an amateur shooting mostly landscapes smile

5dmk2 seemed a bit of a relic compared to my original 7d!

6d has more features and better IQ if you can find one used
