ROY 👍👍👍 EXCELENT

Thank you for this video

Thinking about this for weddings vs 70-200 f4 L IS

Hi Roy I just landed on your channel for the first time but will definitely be back. Wildlife and macro has taken me away from Canon gear but wear and tare has taken its toll on my old body and I'm no longer able to wield the big wildlife lenses and I'd love to have a good reason to buy a used 5Dii, 24-70L and maybe 50mm 1.4. I'll definitely be back.

About the buttons on the 1d or 1ds mark ii. I love them. I wish modern cameras were set up like a 1ds mark ii. I find it so intuitive after a while. You dont even have to think about it and it is a lot of fun tbh. I dont get that much enjoyment out of my other dslrs.

•Canon 16-35mm F4, my fav Lens..just wonderful & solid •2nd fav: Sigma Art 40mm - the Cats Pyjamas

iPhone ain’t no canon bra. Nah it’s different.

I bought one in 2006 used for $750 USD and what a deal, what a great camera, it really was a game changer. When I got this camera, I instantly sold my film Elan7 camera.

I have one that is so old and broken that it struggles to AF but I give Gramps a chance and it does and it sill is a nice image. Of course in 2024 this is NOT my 85mm lens but still its fun to use on my my older Canon DSLR lenses. Even if its broken.

I use the Sigma EF 50mm f1.4 art on my Sony cameras via MC-11 adapter and find it to work natevly. Its an amazing lens that I just can not sell even though I dropped Canon in 2023. It is just amazing and I do not see any reason to update even to the new versions as they require lens corrections. Plus this version is MECHANICAL manual focus.

Pls tell me what is your absolutly gourgeous dog breed name?

Thank you for excellent review and great pictures. my rf 24-105 f4l is allmighty lens

Thank you for this video. I have owned a 5DMkIV for several years and presently find myself thinking about purchasing a R5 or an R5II. I watched your review of the R5 and then found this video. I may just keep the 5DMkIV a while longer. I too am a dinosaur. I shoot film. I have a couple of 4x5 cameras. .The 5D is comfortable for me and I am used to it. Your video made me feel good about not having a state of the art mirrorless camera. Thanks again.

I'm really shocked at how many reviews state that this lens is not sharp, especially compared to the Nikon 24-120 F4 version. I'm about to pick up an R5 MkII with this kit lens, and now i am unsure. Any advice?

I have a pair of these and loved the photos I have taken. That said, the short comings are there now compared to the new R series. I added a R6m2 to my bag to use along side the 5dm3. I do agree that this is a great step up camera for a full frame. This and a nifty 50 will make some nice art.

Thank you for the video

The corrected image is the 14 mm. Many mirrorless lenses are designed so that the correction is essential. On DSLRs this is not possible as the viewfinder image cannot be corrected. On DSLR lenses the correction is extra.

Help!! Canon 24-70mm or sigma? I'm getting my 5D Mark iii soon and I'm between lenses? I'm stumped because the Canon 24-70 f2.8 doesn't have image stabilization. Sigma does. But from comparison vids I've watched sigma clarity doesn't match Canon until the higher stops. But that Canon price tag for something nearly indistinguishable? Is it worth it? I'm planning to embark primarilyon street photography and also portrait sessions.

Great video, I'm considering buying the 85mm 1.8 for gig (concert) photography on my Canon 6D, and I'd be interested in knowing your thoughts.

Great video. I just added the canon 5D MK3 to my lineup of canon cameras.

You are not losing wide angle to the profile correction. The lens is actually projects an image wider than 14mm, something around 12mm. And after correction the final image is 14mm.

You are one of the few pros I’ve seen to admit you shoot in crop mode. Do you switch to cropped mode by programmed button or do you go to the menu?

Thank you for this video, I’ve been going over a load of wide angle zoom lenses for use professionally in both video and photography… also a holiday to Australia and Tokyo as I always look at landscape photography as my hobby 😅 Going over all the technical specs is useful but hearing the real world working applications made my decision!

I record RAW to one card that I will cut/paste/remove files off of and the second card I record JPG images and NEVER delete them. Or once a year I may drag then all into a backup. But its almost like a long term in camera backup. And I use 512GB SD card now days.

Thank you so much for your comprehensive, and professional review of this lens. I recently decided to take the plunge and buy it. I'll be receiving it in a few days, and I can't wait. You pointed out some very important items. For me, I wanted an "all-purpose" travel lens that focused quickly, has a wide focal range, is light-weight, and of course, SHARP! This lens checked all those boxes. I also have a 14 - 35mm RF lens for low-light situations and wide-angle shots. Of course, I have other lenses in my camera bag that I use when I want to be "creative", but for travel, the 24-105 will definitely "get the job done". Thank you again for confirming that I made the right choice in ordering this lens.

Would this lens be good for duck hunting photography? Im always out in the rain and snow on the water or in the marsh. I was wondering what body you think i should pair this with being in those conditions?

I have 10D and I just bought RF6 II. I really like your videos, your calm and "none-acting" talking is very pleasant to listen and also easy to follow for a listener who is not a native English speaker.

Enjoy your comments. I've had the 1.4 for 15 years? Since then, I've moved up many levels. Currently shooting with the R6. My go to lens is the RF 24-70 f/2.8. So why do I keep the 1.4 in my bag? Do I need therapy?

I am just an amateur photographer, but I love this lens. I’ve used it for wildlife, landscape and portraits. I recently used it for a friend’s daughter’s senior photos and while I did not use as many photos from this lens as I did a 56 mm F1.2, it still produced some wonderful shots. I purchased it secondhand and have experienced zero problems with it.

Great real world comparison , i have just purchased the RF 14 - 35 to replace my ageing EF 17-40 which i had to adapt to fit the Eos R . Looking forward to receiving it and seeing how i get on with it. Like you i leave on the lens correction in lightroom so never think about it as a issue , most lenses have distortion to some degree. Glad Canon produced an ultra wide for the RF mount that is rectilinear as being able to use this with my filter kit was a major consideration as a lot of 14mm lenses are so bulbous you can use standard filters with them.

I prefer the ef Glass espacially in These wide Angels. Try to use a Polfilter with 14mm you will get Problems. With the Drop in Adapter für ef No issue. Actually the Adapter ist an Advantage for wide Angels lenses

Lots of talk little useful information.

I had the rokinon 12 mm/2.8 and I loved it, im getting this one now, i created a lot of good shots woth them 🔥🔥

i purchased one 15 years ago keeping the sensor clean, the button layout are the biggest bug bear with this camera. mine still has only 20,000 clicks and still looks like new. still enjoy using it for weddings the grandchildren and landscapes mainly. still a great camera

2024 a cannon eos D5 with this add on what’s the value around typically ?

d600/610 and d750 are in that price range or lower.

I own 16-35 f4. Great lens. No doubt I'd buy it again over that rf lens, price is a very important thing when you don't have much money to spend)

Hala 5D Mk3 kullanıyorum 😂

C1 C2 & C3 you can use those for pre settings, i use c1 for auto closing the mirror 2 sec delay and B exposure etc all setup for a night shot. if you use M and always start at f5.6 / 125 sec / iso400 you could have stored that in C1 or2 or 3 to always start there.

Is there a way to shoot color and B&W at the same time

Hey, Roy! Great review as always. Just picked up one of these second hand. Looking forward to shooting with it. Also, let's get your channel to 15K! Almost there! - JB

Hello Roy, my 1st descent camera was a Canon 5D, I have just got a Canon 5D mk111, what a beast this camera is, I like your clip on said Camera, keep up the good work. Alex

Also me, I love so much my canon 5D. And thank you so much teacher Roy Riley.

For me its not the focal length of the lens or the f stops its image stabilisation most useful tool to sharp pictures

Personally I own the Canon EF 50mm f2.5 Macro lens and it's definitely recommended and it's better than the f1.8 versions. The 50mm f2.5 has the same design as the 50mm f1.8 mark 1 but with much better close up focus macro features. the autofocus will be a little bit slower and more noise but it's just as accurate as the other versions of this lens. the optical performance is nearly the same as all the f1.8 versions and the f2.5 is just a small difference so that's no problem. I think this f2.5 version is the best version of this 50mm optical design

The Info Button is a mystery. I click on it and expect to be able to dial thru the infos. Nope, it just turns off. And the 3 buttons at. the top don't change anything.

I’ve been shooting with the Canon R5 since it came out but recently started using my Mark IV as a 2nd camera for concert photography. R5 is higher res and a little more dynamic range but when you get a good shot on the 5D, it can be exceptional. Especially with prime lenses and some post processing. It also pairs well with the 70-200. Wide angle shots low key can suffer from noise when you illuminate and use of lens corrections can cause bad moire. And I need to spend time with noise reduction and crushing blacks. 5D is a pro camera that has great colors and tones. Classic shooters can master it and wow people with the photography. The computational photography future with AI software is getting insane but hand people a manual film camera and there’s nowhere to hide. Also, I own the Manfrotto view finder you feature in the video, going to try it for stills. I’ve gotten used to reviewing in the R5 viewfinder.
