I own both 1.2Ls, and the only reason I keep the EF (for now) is for mounting on my cinema cams. However, for the premium price, if you already own the EF and are satisfied with the level of sharpness as a creator, I can’t say that paying 2x more results in realizing 2x perceived value or increased revenue from the typical customer. For closeup individual portraits it is almost too sharp, but for groups and applications where critical sharpness across the frame and focal plane is paramount, the RF is very compelling!

Hi Love you vids. What would you recommend as the best photography camera (mainly) with very good film quality to be purchased for a professional beginner (wedding photography)? The reviews on different sites are way to difficult and some biased. Would love to hear your take on it.

Check out Manny Ortiz’s review - he did exactly that, and Sony’s 1.2 looks pretty competitive. Would be great to see Canon fire back some day with an IS Nano-USM Mark II edition in a compact form similar to Sony’s

Thank you so much for your spot on and wise review. I especially like the self test that comes with it - if I don't understand it, I am most likely freaking stupid. Lens A, Lens B and Lens C taped in front of A or B - simply brilliant. Ordered the lens 4 times now, one I keep as spare, 2 will get sent back, this gives me still that simple sense of being important because the vendors treat me like a king. Where is your cool Pentax hat from? Need it urgently as well, thanks again. And of course I opened my 341st Squarespace account - everybody says it's cool, a million flies can't be wrong.

I am so taken aback by how massive the RF version is. Ridiculous. I just bought the EF version on MPB, mainly because I do not have an RF body yet (and probably won't be buying into that ever), but I do enjoy shooting film and I can shoot any EF lens on film, none of the RF lenses.

All that plastic doesn't make sense for such an expensive lens. When I had my RF 35mm 1.8 it scratched easily just with my fingernails. Seeing the same material in the RF 50mm 1.2 is scary, especially if you try to sell it later.

@maboleth 2 жыл бұрын

Is it really? I have Canon EF 100mm Macro IS and while plastic, it's tough as hell. I prefer it to metal actually. There's no way you'd scratch that. Seems like RF's have matte finish that could be easily 'polished' with use? Is it so?

Stupid comparison, rf looks sigma art 50mm 1.4 (super sharp all the way) the ef 50mm 1.2 has a character and the rf one doesn't have it. Ofcorse rf is great but for those who need extra sharp and ai like stuff but for those who want artistic/dreamy look the ef type would be their choice. Imagine the joker film shoot with the rf super sharp rf lens 🤦 could never do the same job as the characteristics ones ❤
