I prefer the minimum focus distance of the 50mm. It's like half what the 85mm is!

Film. Nothing like it. Slide

4 years on from 2020 and I've just picked up this lens today using on my R6. Had one previously (on 5d iv) and sold it to buy RF glass with instant regret! Test charts just don't do this lens justice (but who takes shots of charts lol!) and as others have said Sigma may be sharper, but it doesn't do what the 50 1.2 does. It's unquantifiable how this lens operates producing the most beautiful bokeh and colour. I love it!

Have you used a speed-booster with full frame EF lenses? I’m curious about this camera for longer video format projects, preferably with an extended battery grip attached.

Excellent! Provided valuable information for blurry motion photography. The actual results depends on an individual taste and trial.

The price difference is not justified.

Anyone who uses Canon at this point is a Fascist. For them to use software code to engage in Forced Obsolescence and only allow the 35mm F1.4 RF’s aperture dial to work in stills on the R1 & R5ii….shows the complete disdain for its existing customer base. People are leaving Canon in droves now because of tactics like this

beautiful, congratulations! can I ask you what settings did you use? Did you shoot in LOG? I can't get a video paste like yours and I also have a canon r6 mark ii, maybe the fact that I use EF lenses affects

great review! Super helpful. Thanks heaps.

Have you heard about this river in Egypt?

Pozdrawiam z Polski! Może porównasz Canon RF 1,8 z Canon RF 1,2... ? Dobry film - gratuluję!!!

Hello! Can you recomend 28-70 for sports? Does it really has faster autofocus in case of object tracking (servo AF) than 24-70? Case of usage - crossfit, jumping etc.

try tamron 35 f1.4 . is sharper then canon.

Man, your work is absolutely amazing. You have managed to achieve a specific look that when I see your photos I think to myself - this is definitely a Zach's work. A timeless edit that will always be interesting. I hope you will release another video how you edit and reveal some of your magic for us.🖤

Nice video! Have rf7200/2.8 and 35/2 Choose between 35 1.4 EF, RF, Sigma 50 1.4 and RF 50 1.2 for "night vision"

Thank you for the nice and thoughtful video. Beautiful wedding photos dude. In fact, although I use the 35mm focal length, it is my least favorite one. It is not wide enough in my opinion for establishing scenes, and at the same time doesn’t prove enough separation from background, thus not the best portrait lens. For this reason, mg all time favorite focal lengths are 50mm and 28mm.

i am a stock photographer..and i think this is a must for me..as I own R5...

The distortion on this lens is terrible, I cannot recommend it.

This lens seems like dog shit based on what other working pros have said

I really love the RF 35mm F1.8. This new 35mm L lens would be an amazing lens for me to have for sure (but I can’t justify buying it right now).

He's back!

The aperture ring works only for video i heard...is it true?

Looks like a nice lens, just like the RF 50 & 85 1.2. I’m still adapting EF L glass to my R6 (still using the 6D as well). The EF 35 1.4 ii, the EF 85 1.4 IS, and the EF 135 f2. What 50mm would you suggest? I know the RF 50 1.2 is the one, but if I wanted to stay EF? EF 50 1.2, or maybe the Sigma 50 1.4? *shrugs

I was going to get rid of my 28-70 also and buy the 35 1.4, I have the 50 and 85 1.2 as well as the 85 2.0 (which I really live. The last week I took the 28-70 out for street photography and stayed at 35mm and was really pleased with 2.0, When I went through Lightroom stats I discovered my most used focal length while on the 28-70 is 40MM, I guess its what best represents my eye.

Love a new ZM video drop! Curious about your comment regarding the 50mm being your preference. What about for personal days hanging with Dune and such?? Does 50 still work well for you??

Also hello Maverick!! 😺

I'm loving the size of this lens, super practical and the aperture ring is a dream!

Always enjoy a new video from you! Would you say you’ve noticed a big difference in the 1.4 vs the 1.8 as far as bokeh?

So far I love this lens. I was excited about a 35/1.2 but that might have been a beast

What is your thought on this lenses need for such extreme digital corrections? And were you hoping/expecting this lens to be a f1.2 or are you glad its not as it would be a monster like the 85L is most likely.

Phenomenal work! I actually forgot this was coming out this year. 👏🏿👏🏿. Definitely looking forward to getting this my own.

It's always nice to see you post new videos! I hope your life and business are going amazingly well!

CA is terrible with EF lenses. But the extra stop wide open is always worth it. Especially whole body shoot, the scenario that 50 1.8 will show its weakness

At over $6,000, the R3 has been an out-of-reach dream for me. I’m just a passionate amateur who doesn’t earn his living from photography. But now that the R1 and R5II are out, I took advantage of the price drop on the old cameras and just bought an R3, for $3,999 delivered. It looks like it will be the perfect companion to my beloved R6.

Nice video, what did you do with the R5 pictures to make them look less sharp and more like the 645?

Hello, wondering why Camera Profile Custom is available on my X100V but not my. XT3, thanks for your help.

I have a 55 mm and could not like it,

I currently have an RF 35 f1.8, RF 28-70 f2.0 and the RF 85 f1.2. I’m loving this combo. The 28-70 is very versatile, the 85 creates that magic and the 35 is macro so it allows me to get rings and very close details. I have been struggling with getting either the 50 or the 70-200. I think the 70-200 will be the better choice so I have more reach, and I can cover 50 with my 28-70. But the 50 is much lighter and has that 1.2 stop. So I keep going back and forth on which one to get.

the Leica color at 05:13 is so good

Did you end up keeping both? I usually own a 40 and 60 in full frame. But having those focal lengths in medium format costs a pretty penny. 😅

Live it. All of it 👌

Thanks for this great video. Does this camera produce better videos than Lumix S5IIX?

Just get BOth Used

You should stop using the word CHEAP! ( less expensive ) would be a better choice. no one like cheap anything CHEAP!. Do you like cheap stuff or less expense wise buying choice?

Beautiful!

Love your content!

Are the images you've taken with the EF 50 now not as good as they were?

what you really should buy is a 35mm

Best grain I was able to achieve is overlaying factual film gray scans over image. Often with defects like film scratches and dirt.

Thanks for sharing! Were your shots captured at 1.7? For those of us looking for super subject isolation and 3D effect I am considering either one of these two lenses or the Mitakon 65mm 1.4 Any thoughts? Stay safe :)
