But most pros using DSLRs and MIRRORLESS for video are usually pulling their focus sooooooooooo...

Just as importantly as blurring out the background is the subject separation that can only be obtained with a wide open f stop and/or zoom. Higher f stops=flatter images. I have an A7RV, it’s new and expensive and it absolutely looks better when shot at f 1.2 in low light. Recommending that people with an f 1.2 lens shoot at high f stops in low light is the strangest advice. Y’all crank down your f stops and take iPhone looking photos and I’ll stay at 1.2

U got a new follower. Greetings from Mexico city

Well said. There’s so much misinformation spread on KZfaq by so-called photography “experts”, especially related to depth of field, and the obsession with bokeh. It doesn’t help that most people seem to think that bokeh is a synonym for shallow depth of field, when it is actually referring to quality of the blurriness.

I still use the Canon Mark 3 and C100 and have never considered changing them.

Suggest me best macro lance for vedio

Very true video and the view I’ve always had about f stops and those boring blurred background.I like in focus occasionally boca looks good . I hate it in video.

LoL.. sorry. It's a great lense... Also good price

all camera is amazing until it only has 1 memory card or having small battery that last only 200 shots.

The image quality seems really nice, nice color. Canon was always known for their color science. I have located a body for all sake appears unused. That's a win win for me. Thank you great video.

I dont think this lens makes any sense for photography. But its very frekin ideal for video!

Nice review very informative

Bought mine last night for my 80d. With a hood.

I have one EF85 f1.4L. I have one RF85 f1.2L. In EF system i use EF85 f1.4L. In RF system i use RF85 f1.2L.

Is the 35mm good for interview and documentary style videos?

It's a lot easier to decide if you check the price of a refurbished Canon EF 85. 1.4 L at $800.00.

Buying one today for under $300- psyched!!

i hate when people bring up size and weight....use your phones then.

I just bought one for 100 dollars today on fb marketplace . It’s awesome !

I bought the 1.8 after trying the 1.4. The chromatic aberration was bad in the 1.4. Miles better in 1.8. And I could live the half stop difference.

Just bought this lens for 180 euro, hope it was a good price, the lens seems very good, also I'm new to photography so I'm not really an expert in matter but seems very good once again

I recently did a photoshoot with my a7iii with the sony 85mm 1.8. I usually did portrait shots on 1.8 to 2.0 aperture but I decided to close it down a bit (2.8 all the way to 5.6). The results were kind of shocking to me. Because I shot it outdoors in nature and open fields I got the same creamy bokeh as with 1.8 but my subject was even more sharper and in focus. I compared hundreds of shots to previous ones and I couldn't figure out why these ones look better. The subject stood out even more from the background, even with the aperture closed down quite a bit and I'm really happy with the results. Gonna use the open aperture only in low light conditions from now on

Hi! I have a canon r8 and am currently looking for an affordable lens in the focal range of 24-70 or 24-105. I'm willing to buy used and everything under ~800€ is okay. Which lens would you recommend? I already have an ef-rf adapter, so the ef mount is definitely a possibility. I mainly want a really nice and sharp lens, preferably with a fixed aperture of 2.8 (or 4). But there is 20 years of lenses to work through and I kinda lost track of which one is still good to todays standard, yet affordable.

I find it amazing a company like Smallrig would make a dolly for "their own video tripods" that doesn't work with them at full leg extension? Why?? Nope~~

Great review. For an enthusiastic amateur the price differential is massive at 2.5 times the price for the RF 85mm f1.2 ($2,000 AU). My copy of the EF 85mm f1.4 must be a really good copy, as it is critically sharp at f1.8, with f1.4 totally acceptable and I find the IS essential for my 5DSR. A magic lens with fantastic micro contrast.

Not under 500 now.

I own 5DII, use it regularly for all purposes, love it and will never sell it.

Hai everyone Which lens best for Wedding Photography

I don't even want anything more than 1 af point. And i keep the camera on single shot.

I feel that this could have been a lot shorter if you spoke faster. Are you stoned in this?

Thanks for actually mentioning the CF card, just got the 5D mark II and was surprised as I missed it in my research. Camera is solid, but CF card is disappointing.

Thank you so very much for this video. everything you said is 100% fact

This line of thinking works for those of us who cannot afford or justify the f1.2 monsters.

I have a Canon R8. Which of these 2 lenses should I buy? I do travel, family, and landscape photos.

Image stabilization on a lens like this in photography applications is super useful in enabling slightly longer shutter speeds while maintaining sharpness, in my experience anyway

You’re misunderstanding the point of that statement. Its meant to tell beginners that better gear wont make them better. And also that applies to more fields that just photography.

I tried, never want to go smaller than f5.6 any longer .

What a whiner, this is a great lens for the price ! If you're doing video, use one of your other lenses, duh

Superb

Currently on the edge to get this lens for my 60D Would you think this lens or the 28-70 2.8 from Tamron to be better/sharper?

আরো অনেক ভিডিও তেখেছি 10:46 এটাই শেষ ভিডিও ছিলো যেটা দেখে ফাইনালি সিদ্ধান্ত নিতে পারলাম canon 6d ই তেই থাকবো শুধু মাত্র ছবি তুলার জন্ন

I do find it interesting that someone would complain about the macro capabilities of a lens that is not a true macro lens. If you want a professional level lens buy 100mm F 2.8 L lens. It has a 1.4x magnification. It has Dual Nano USM motors. Problem solved!

I moved onto this from the Canon 90D. It doesn’t have the fast frames per second on continuous that the 90D has but just glad to get into the RF mount system for so cheap. I got my RP for $650 CDN. I also kept the 90D.

670kg? that's a heavy lens, even for canon XD

Great review. I just picked this light up with a couple other smallrig lights to use with nature photography/ macro and in my little " mini " home studio. Figured much better than a standing led lamp, and much more useful. Any other thoughts on this for just photo purposes?

Great video. You are the very few in the world speaks about the color rendering of lens. This was the only point I was looking for a decision. The new lenses don't have smooth color fall offs and don't flare at all which is taking away the artistic capabilitiws of the lens.

Watching this for the 1st time ever because I just bought the Canon R8 and got the 50mm RF lens. Find it to be nice for now. I shoot mostly photos not too much video. Will likely get the 35mm RF version at a later date hopefully before the end of the year. Thanks for a very informative video.

The 5dmk2 is a perfect solo independent movie camera. Download magic lantern and it transforms it.

Looking at getting one of these for using with low iso film stocks. Image stabilisation with pan f plus or e100 sounds like a dream

I'm sorry but this is not a accurate comparison, the stills AF speed between the two is not even in the same universe, the EF can focus three times in the time it takes the RF to loudly hiccup it's way to focus, even with the focus limiter set to limit to the EF's range.
