i wd go and buy this 16mm and use it on my r6ii

Thank you for your candid opinion.

Interesting lens but is the difference enough to warrant spending 4 times the price of the 35mm F1.8 ? For me it would be a waste of money and here it highlights the issue Canon has with the RF lens choice. Professionals can justify the cost, probably, but enthusiastic armatures just don't have the choice without third party lenses. Get one Canon RF lens or several cheapish maybe not so good Canon RF lenses for greater creativity but lower quality. I wait for the day that Sigma and Tamron get the green light for Autofocus RF lenses.

Should I replace my ef 35 II to this lens

Thanks a lot for the comparaison. Would have loved to see the same video from a videomaker point of view.

Thanks for the review. I got the lens the day after it was released. I debated sending it back because of the distortion and dark corners. Your review helped me to decide to keep it. Looking forward to watching more of ur videos.

Left canon for Sony. Zero regrets.

Thank you for a real world comparison review. 13:56 It's really hard for me to ignore such obviously bad bokeh of the 35/1.8 Macro at normal focus distances. Which was the main reason why I didn't get one for myself. It's OK for close-ups. But, for high-def people photography, the new RF35L seems to do much better. Huge difference! Well done.

Nice review. But the best part is your sweet daughter. God bless her!

Thank you for this video!

Awesome video! Can you please tell me what auto focus setting used on your daughter while swinging? Great shot. Thanks

Nice review. The af looks so snappy that’s the biggest reason I’m thinking of upgrading. Would like to see lens flare of 1.8 in this situations and the af on your daughter running. I know it’s apples to oranges but curious how this compares to ef 50 1.2 . I’m not sold on a particular focal length at the moment and wondering if it’s worth changing

For wedding photographers, do we need that extra sharpness when we’re likely reducing clarity etc anyway for that slightly magical feel? Weather sealing is the only difference for me

This rf35 1.4 is the real rf 35😂😂😂. I used rf 35 1.8 for three years. I did notice it is narrow than my EF 16 35 II at 35. It is sharp, but not enough to reach rf L prime lens. Even 28mm 2.8 is sharper than 35 1.8 at the same aperture. Broker of 1.8 is acceptable but definitely looks weird sometimes.

I really appreciate your review. When I saw that you made a review, I knew it would be thorough! I would like to see you daughter running toward the camera with the 1.8mm to see if all of those pictures are in focus on not, like they were with the 1.4mm. Even though you have already made this review, if you can test and comment, that would be amazing. I do baptisms and the higher aperture to let more light in would be nice and if it is able to track well or better, that would be very valuable information to know. I have the 1.8 so I want to know how the tracking of movement compares. Very nice video!!!

But it’s not working. Got an error message

Any comparisons between the EF 35mm f/1.4L Mk2 which I am using adapted on an R5? Don't think that there will be much reason to get the RF from what I've read. But actual use will always be the difference.

Well balanced review using beautiful images. And your cute, enthusiastic little elf makes any review a highlight. The lens on the other hand is horribly overpriced. I was expecting far better from an L lens after so many years of development.

Very nice images, and you can really see how much sharper f1.4 is in some situations(while in others it's more in the corners you notice it). At least with the RUclips compression. But I'm wondering about the lens rattle? You didn't mention it all?

Great review 😊

I really wanted to see a video about the RF 35mm VCM. So I collected all of the 7 Dragon Balls and made a wish. Shane Long appeared and I got the video I was asking for.

Great review as tempting as it is to buy the 1.4 the 1.8 makes much more sense to me

The RF1.8 is unbeatable in terms of bang for your buck 😊

Thank you Shane! Fantastic review🎉

the 35mm f1.8 is a better deal (lighter + half macro + stabilizer) . but if you are a 35/85mm guy .. now you have the the sharpie combo

Pricing this at 1900 euros is just extorting their customers using their monopoly. Sony's option is 1500 and is even a better lens than this.

Great detailed video.

Hi Shane, what is your opinion on the rattling? or are there other people who can give their opinion on this? Thnx

I've been waiting for this, but you have me deciding between this and the rf 1.8. I do own a macro lens but I don't use it much. How does the 1.8 do in backlit situations?

I have the EF 1.4 I don't see the point of getting this. I will wait until they release the RF 35mm F1.2.

Do you own the older EF 35mm 1.4 II? That's the comparison I'd like to see. I just need to know if it has that same magic from the "almost perfect" EF version, that lens is a gem.

Shane! Been waiting for this one. BRB watching vid.

I have the 50mm f1.2 I used to have the 35mm 1.8(for half-macro)-- this lens should have been f1.2 its mirrorless its possible - That would have really made it extraordinary -just my opinion

Beautiful pics and nice thorough review! The Lightroom profile was released last week I believe - it works well and takes care of the vignetting/distortion quite nicely. So happy to see a real world use review from a professional photographer. As you might have noticed, this lens is so polarizing and for some reason the purported “flaws” are grabbing the most attention, namely the vignetting/distortion. Thank you for this great review!

Thanks a lot Shane for this great in-depth review. LOCA seems at the same level as with the 1.8, from this table photo? How is you perception of the rattling noise this lens makes when switched off? I currently adapt the old EF 35mm IS USM, which is at least at par with the RF 1.8, and I'm still undecided about this new 1.4 lens: I hoped for a more photo-centric RF 35mm 1.2.

Amazing shots, beautiful results from the 1.4. Even though the 1.8 is very similar, I'd still go for the 1.4....it's crisp and magical. Can't wait to get one. Thanks for your insight and great video

Thank you

Hello mate…..it’s been so looooong since your last video

The more I look at it, the more I realize Im falling more and more out of love with bokeh. Having some blur in the background is great, but too much like at 1.2 where you cant even make out the scene is really starting to bug me. Maybe its the spike in A.I. generated images that have conditioned me but it just feels so artificial to me now. I tend to stop down from f2.8 - 5.6 for portraits now, gives just the right amount of blur and subject separation without over doing it.

Sigma art 28mm & especially the undeniable 40mm are worth every penny. 40mm beats 50mm

My daughter is just starting out in photography, and we were wondering what the best lens for a beginner might be. I’m not sure if this is the ideal lens for a beginner, but we found your explanation perfect. I think we might go for this one based on your recommendation. Thank you!

Great video, thanks!

For my eyes, the 85mm f2 looks more accurate for real life and flattering. The 1.2 version looked more green. Maybe thats just my eyes but this video sold me on getting the f2 version. Thanks for this comparison!

Photographers on a budget can buy a refurbished EF 85 1.4L for $800.00. My choice was easily made.

How does it compare IQ wise to the 70-200 f4 L for portraits? I own both and struggle to decide which to use

rip samyang 😥

Why you added music? It's disturbing

Some of these shots I would consider the 50mm being a better option

Should compare with the L lens but aperture of 1,8 so you see difference in bokeh

Thank you so much for your video on the R5. I currently have the Canon 5D mark III, and have been wanting to upgrade for a couple years. Thanks to your wonderful input, I get a new birthday present :)
