@@AnthonyGugliotta same here. I got both with my R6 II at the end of November, such a good duo. I posted an awesome shot I took with the 24-105 a few hours ago, it’s sooooo good.
Good to see someone mention the focus limiter on the 85F2. That lens gets a lot of negative comments about slow focus but the focus switch makes a bigger difference with that lens than any other I've used. My go-to for most weddings is the 85F2 and 351.8. Great video.
Great combo, and agreed! It's absolutely necessary to use the focus control. Get those macro shots of rings when you need em, but then flip the switch and shoot the couple from the far aisle during the ceremony! :)
This is great - for a full frame body. Everything shifts a big w/ the APS-C bodies. The 50 mm becomes the 85 equivalent, the 24 becomes that 35 mm, etc.
The 85 f2 is my go to walk around lens. It’s like, creates a nice bokeh and just enough reach to get in on further away subjects for street photography.
In the Canon world, the best value right now IMO is an R6 mark I paired with a 24-105 f4L, 16 2.8, and 50 1.8. Better if you can get these second hand. Use the 24-105 most of the time; the R6 low light is fantastic and shooting at F4 is no problem except in the darkest of environments. Use the 16 when you really need ultra wide coverage. Use 50 for low-light and shallow DOF portraits. This whole kit can cover pretty much all situations except professional sports/birding, while maintaining a very low size/weight profile.
Excellent review. My only disagreement is regarding your quick dismissal of the 24-105 4-7.1 STM. Yes, it’s variable aperture and not weather sealed but there is virtually no difference in image quality from the RF 24-104 f/4 L IS. I’ve done many, many comparisons on the occasions where I’ve had both . Try it.
I treated myself to the R50 for my birthday and to tell you I'm lost is an understatement. I've never had a camera with a detachable lens. I'm going traveling for 9months and I'm wondering what lens would you recommend for night time shoots and wide angle as I love city/landscape photography?
Hello. I do want to just let you know that the stated minimum focus from a lens is from the film plane indicator which is on top left of the r5. Little circle with a line through it. It shows the sensor depth. Not from the tip of the lens 😊.
When I brought my Canon R8 I immediately purchased the RF 24mm, 35mm and 85mm macro lenses as I do landscape photography but I also like shooting photos of plants, flowers, insects etc so I appreciated the close focusing and macro capabilities. I also brought the 24-105 F4 thinking I would benefit from also having a zoom lens to cover everything in between plus a bit of extra reach, but I ended up returning it as it's simply not as sharp as the non-L prime lenses despite it costing 3 times as much as one of those lenses. So I brought the 70-200 F4 instead and I find that to be a truly excellent lens which pairs really well with the wider focal length primes. With the 70mm at the wide end it also covers the gap between my 35mm and 85mm nicely and doesn't compromise on image quality.
@@Stan_the_Belgian The RF 70-200 f4 and 85 f2 are equally as sharp. It’s hard to tell them apart. If you want more bokeh with the 70-200 you can shoot at a longer focal length so it looks more like an f2. It’s a more versatile lens with L series build quality but it costs a lot more.
I’d also like to add the RF 100-400 f5.6-8. For an inexpensive telephoto the results are nice and it’s fast enough to track small wildlife like birds and shoot sports.. suffers a bit in low light but with the right light it’s great!
great tip - I went with the 70-200 F4 (another great option) but have tried the 100-400 and been very impressed with the image quality, especially considering it is half the price of the 70-200
Recently got a rf 28 f2.8 pancake lens and it is really surprisingly sharp and something about 28 feels really good to shoot with. Definitely would recommend you look into it.
I love the Assertor as it gives off that feeling of an actual battleship with it being covered in gun battery clusters and the layered guns on the superstructure of the ship, I can just picture this ship moving into a group of smaller ships and just wrecking them with overwhelming fire from every angle as both port and ventral sides are almost equally armed.
Anthony my man, you missed the RF 28mm pancake. I wanna get your thoughts on that lens. For my current setup I have the RF85 and the RF16 on the R8 body. Rate my setup
I just upgraded my self and bought canon eos r And I want to start taking jobs What should i buy? A new rf 24-105 f4 or old 24-70 mkii with an adapter? I would appreciate it if you could respond with a short
Hello Master: Please help and give me some advice, The camera I am currently using is Canon EOS R10, The kit lens used with it is (RF-S18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM) My main subject matter is toy photography. The secondary shooting content is street photography or portrait photos. Now I want to buy new lenses, after watching your video, Want to be in Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM and RF85mm F2 Macro IS STM or RF 35mm 1.8 STM After making a choice, I would like to ask you to give me some advice on which lens is more suitable for me? Thank you.🙏🙏🙏
If the 35mm is the best general use lens, why a lot of people recommend the 50mm? I want to buy a Canon R50 but I don't want to keep switching lens. It's mostly for travel photos.
I currently have an APS-C DSLR (250D) and want to buy new lenses but I also want to be able to upgrade the camera body later on. So my questions is : do you think I have to worry about investing in EF lenses when Canon seems to have stopped DSLR production ?
I think this year the thing I'll spend some real money is will most likely be new lenses. I'm currently running with an M6 Mark II and love it! This video was helpful for sure though. Gives me a lot to consider on what to look into.
The video was really helpful thank you! When you said that 35mm was giving that really "natural looking" vibe were you talking for both sensors or one in particular ?
Hey Anthony, thanks a lot for the video is really good for begginers like us, I wanted to ask you, would you use the 35mm for northern lights shooting? 🤔
I am looking to upgrade my camera kit sooner rather than later, and if I compare this video to your recommendation for photography beginners I see that this one is for Full frame cameras(as the RF series), though most of your canon recommendations in that video were for the APS-C camera series. What would you recommend in this case? I am stepping up from an EOS M100 with 2 kit lenses. Thanks!
Hello Anthony, Great video! Would you be able to suggest me a lens for my EOS R50. I need do video interview and some event photography and I am kinda on a tight budget. Thank you,
I suggest 600mm F11 for taking moon and wildlife. It does struggle at low light but inexpensive and major advantage is light weight compared to other bazooka long range lenses so I can take for traveling
I do have expensive glass and won’t deny that it’s “better”, but when I want small, light, and better than good enough, the non-L RF glass is awesome. RF 16/35/85 paired with an OG R body is my go to for travel.
Im in a position to upgrade from my Canon M50 MII kit lens. Im looking for a lens to record haircuts and vlogging. What are some good options for those still shot videos and/or vlogging? Thanks.
I shot nothing but film until a few years ago. I have a used R6 and a new R8. I have the 24-105 f4L which stays on my R6 most of the time. The R8 I switch lenses quite often. I have the 16 f1.8, 50 f1.8 I recently bought a used 100-400 EF 4.5-5.6L USM IS. The 16 and 50 are excellent lenses if you want to do more post-work. I still use my Mamiya RB67 medium format camera. It will be a long time if, ever I will be able to afford a medium format digital camera. I do not shoot professionally anymore I am getting ready to retire and might dip my toe back in when I have more time. The review of all of these lenses are spot on. Just buy the body and get one or two of these lenses and you will be happy. I will back up what he says about the 24-105 f4-7.1 kit lens do not waste your money on it.
For me, I have the 15-35mm as you have, but on some travels I really feel like a 24mm (I like the wider angle) will be enough, so though I'm not really on a budget I do want that 1 lens I can easily travel with (in terms of weight) but I do wait for a sale on it lol. And your video helped me be more sure that I do want the 24mm, Thanks!
I have the canon R50 and I’m confused between the 24mm and 35mm lens. Any suggestions? I like the 24mm FOV on APSC but I’ve heard the 35mm is a better lens
35mm on an R50 is a great all around option. The 24mm is better for tighter spaces, but yes I’ve also heard the 35mm is better. Plus, the 24mm is bulkier.
I have an r10 (aps-c), originally swapped out the kit lens for the 50mm rf lens from canon. Whilst I can can get some great photos with this is found I really needed a wider lens, so I got the TTartisan 25mmF2. This lens isn't bad, but I find it has a bit too much 'character' for my liking.. I'd like to replace the TTartisan with either the RF 24mm or RF 35mm. Opinions??? Also looked at the F0.95 35mm from TTartisan, the price is very attractive but I'm not sure this will solve my issues with the 25mm I currently own. Anyone got any thoughts on this? I was curious as to why in this video, the recommendations for aps-c sensor cameras where the 16mm and 24mm but not 35mm. Is the 24mm worth double the price of the 16mm?
What would you recommend an intermediate to professional photographer looking to commercialise his craft? Is the Canon R8 enough or shall I go with the Canon R6 Mark ii?
I know pros who use the R8. I would honestly try picking up both in a camera store. The R8 is a smaller camera which some people like and some people don't like. Also decide whether or not you need IBIS (the R8 doesn't have IBIS)
Hey im looking for a reliable hight quality lens for vertical video specifically reels for a social media content job i own the 50mm f1.2 prime but looking for something wider which one would you recommend im using a canon r50 btw i know not the best 😅 looking to upgrade my body in the future
I wanna get the 50mm because of it's low light capaabilities. However, I will be using it for film making. I don't mind it having no stabilization since my camera does hav In body stabilization. would you recommend this? i'm using an APSC sensor as well so It's gonna get cropped. I wanted to go for the 35mm but its alot more expensive than the noifty fifty.
Question, how good is a 24-105 f4 on a crop censor… I’ve been reluctant to buy it because it’s f4 and I feel any low light situation will give me crap results. However f4 on a range that would be 36 to 150 in full frame is quite exciting.
Hello Anthony, Great and informative video, please I would really appreciate it if you read my comment and reply. I do cooking videos and I would like to find Sony camera lens that is able to take 4k image to a cooking pan from about a meter away to avoid the heat and the splashing oil but at the same time to be able to zoom very close to get a micro image to the ingredients. I would really appreciate your help.
Urgh still tempted by Red Ring but even for EF adapted its still very expensive! Working towards two camera body with probably the 85 and 35. Oh and anyone have any thoughts on the RF28mm pancake?
If the price is right I'd say go for it! I shot with an old EF 24-105 (non-L) on crop DSLR for a season. My only regret was not having enough on the wide end, but I was primarily shooting subjects that were far away so it worked for me.
The image quality, focus speed and build quality of the EF 24-105 L ( I have the mark ii) are very good. The only negative is the size is a bit long once the adapter is added.
Can someone help me decide between the R7 and the R8? Mostly going to be doing street photography and family / vacation use? And no, I can’t save up for the R6 II with a $21K lens lol
hello i have a cannon vixia RF80 and i shoot myself talking.. religious educational videos... 10 ft away and need a lens to get waist up.. im 6'3" also i can only get chest up right now using a 0.43 lens....Please any help !!! Im old and this is very difficult for me lol....thank you
I'm actually trying to save up for the 24-70 (or maybe the 24-105) f2.8 for my R7, as I already got myself an older EF 70-200 F2.8L version 1 non-IS. And I gotta say, I love the photos out of that oldie. It's just even at 70, sometimes it's too tight. But to my surprise, I came back from Cuba with pretty good shots from my newly minted RFS 10-18mm 4.5-6.3 variable aperture.
@@tallpinoy RF lenses are also smaller in use due to the absence of the EF-RF adapter. Smaller bags can be used allowing for smaller and lighter setup. IQ wise, RF 24-105mm only has a slight edge over the EF. My motivation for upgrading to the RF lenses is not primarily about IQ but size, weight, and ergonomics. As regards the 50mm, it becomes necessarily large to bring along due to the adapter. I have the RF50mm and I can carry it all the time. Though I prefer the rendering of my Tamron 45mm F1.8, however it weighs a lot, so I don't bring it often as a result. If you have no RF lenses, the adapter is an non issue since it lives on the camera. But if you have several EF lenses and RF lenses in use, switching lenses WILL become annoying. BTW, I also have both EF24-105mm mark I and II as well as the EF 50mm F1.8.
Need? Absolutely not. They will work just fine with the adapters. I wouldn’t bother replacing lower end (but still good) glass with more low end glass. Keep that stuff, and save for a real upgrade.
I literaly bought today a Pentacon 29mm 2.8 for 30euros... And you can get a full set for 100! 50mm 1.8. and 135mm... All cost some 30 euros. If you have nothing. This is gonna be amazing. And also interesting, vintagy! And probably better than 24 105 wich i definetly dont reconmend buying. Its big. And doesnt perfom that good. Its ok for video shooting because zoom and stabilizastion. Thus documentary work is possible. Thats it. That is literaly the only thing that lens is capable of... documentary shooting. 28-135 is as good for video as 24 105 is... but costs 1\4 ... Other than that, definetly better buying any prime lenss and not a zoom!!!
The nifty fifty is glorious, so is the 24-105 f/4. It’s an awesome little duo of lenses to do a large variety of work with. Love both of em.
Literally my first 2 RF lenses! 🫶
@@AnthonyGugliotta same here. I got both with my R6 II at the end of November, such a good duo. I posted an awesome shot I took with the 24-105 a few hours ago, it’s sooooo good.
Lol, jup same here. Also took the 28 mm f/2.8 as it’s tiny and perfect for long hikes. Finally also bought the 14-35 f/4. Such a good lens as well
@@Brsawesome I really need to get my hands on that 28mm. It looks like a spectacular lens
Those are two of my three lenses!!!The other is Rf 100-400. I feel like they were the 3 best starting lenses I could have bought.
Good to see someone mention the focus limiter on the 85F2. That lens gets a lot of negative comments about slow focus but the focus switch makes a bigger difference with that lens than any other I've used. My go-to for most weddings is the 85F2 and 351.8. Great video.

I believe the RF 35MM 1.8 is as good as it gets for a non L lens. I mean the rendering is just awesome from that little guy.
On APS-C there is a must shout-needed to the RF 18-150mm. One lens for a lot of variability at pretty good F stop too (considering the range)
In the Canon world, the best value right now IMO is an R6 mark I paired with a 24-105 f4L, 16 2.8, and 50 1.8. Better if you can get these second hand.

Excellent review. My only disagreement is regarding your quick dismissal of the 24-105 4-7.1 STM. Yes, it’s variable aperture and not weather sealed but there is virtually no difference in image quality from the RF 24-104 f/4 L IS. I’ve done many, many comparisons on the occasions where I’ve had both . Try it.
I would add 28mm f2.8 here. Together with 24-105f4 L and 85f2 create a super versatile setup.

The best explanation for rf basic lens..👏👏👏
I just started with the RP and I have the 50 lens. Is there another lens you recommend for rodeo or sports and another one for portraits

Love your videos!💚
I would've liked a recommendation for similar EF lenses, since I don't shoot with RF at all
But I think you nailed it with the picks!

Quick question… isn’t focus distance measured from sensor? You showed it from the front of the lens
I do have expensive glass and won’t deny that it’s “better”, but when I want small, light, and better than good enough, the non-L RF glass is awesome. RF 16/35/85 paired with an OG R body is my go to for travel.

Very much the budget option, but it is amazinggg for what you pay!
@@emilyesnyman thanks I'll definitely take that into consideration.
40mm also pretty good. Slightly sharper image than 50mm. The downside is the f2.8

Anthony, what's your favorite lens for street photography?
My favorite lens the 85mm but EF
What about 28mm 2.8f? I'm interested in buying this one, now I own 50mm 1.8f
Is there any Canon cheap prime that not extend when focusing? I mean only internal focus, without the inner barrel moving outside
Canon RF28mm f2.8, it's a pancake lens that focuses internally.
Are your LR presets available in CUBE format?

What would you recommend an intermediate to professional photographer looking to commercialise his craft? Is the Canon R8 enough or shall I go with the Canon R6 Mark ii?
If you are planning on shooting any long-form content the battery life on the R8 will give you grief.
I know pros who use the R8. I would honestly try picking up both in a camera store. The R8 is a smaller camera which some people like and some people don't like. Also decide whether or not you need IBIS (the R8 doesn't have IBIS)
@@cjm8160 Thanks for the pointer!

3:25 minimal focus distance is mesured from senesor, not from end if the lens
Hey im looking for a reliable hight quality lens for vertical video specifically reels for a social media content job i own the 50mm f1.2 prime but looking for something wider which one would you recommend im using a canon r50 btw i know not the best 😅 looking to upgrade my body in the future
The focussing distance is measured from the sensor not the front of the lens
I wanna get the 50mm because of it's low light capaabilities. However, I will be using it for film making. I don't mind it having no stabilization since my camera does hav In body stabilization. would you recommend this? i'm using an APSC sensor as well so It's gonna get cropped. I wanted to go for the 35mm but its alot more expensive than the noifty fifty.
I just got the Canon RF 35mm macro lens for my birthday and I have the canon R7 so the 35 becomes 56 so it's basically a nifty fifty with macro
Big fan sir ❤
Anthony, you’re also in the Tdot? Nice 👌
That lens seems nice, Lemme check the price, WOAH
Surprised you didn't mention the 1.6x magnification factor for APS-C sensors
isn’t the focus distance measured from the sensor?
Question, how good is a 24-105 f4 on a crop censor… I’ve been reluctant to buy it because it’s f4 and I feel any low light situation will give me crap results.
However f4 on a range that would be 36 to 150 in full frame is quite exciting.
I personally haven't used the 24-105 on crop. It's one weakness would be low-light. F1.8 to F4 is a pretty big jump!
@@AnthonyGugliotta thanks for your reply.
What about 18 to 150 mm lens on canon R 10
Was the photo at 5:35 shot in killarney park?
OMG!!!!! the micro heart attack every time he drops the lenses
Don't watch until the end then...
Hi Anthony, i was trying to buy your presets pack but i can´t put in my card.
can you ask canon to allow 3rd party lenses?
Hello Anthony, Great and informative video, please I would really appreciate it if you read my comment and reply. I do cooking videos and I would like to find Sony camera lens that is able to take 4k image to a cooking pan from about a meter away to avoid the heat and the splashing oil but at the same time to be able to zoom very close to get a micro image to the ingredients. I would really appreciate your help.
Urgh still tempted by Red Ring but even for EF adapted its still very expensive! Working towards two camera body with probably the 85 and 35. Oh and anyone have any thoughts on the RF28mm pancake?
Highly recommend the EF 85 f/1.2 L mark I. A bit slow on the focus but an image rendering like nothing else for portraits.
@@mariopassalacqua6674 Hmm I already got the EF 85 F1.4L
What do you think about using an ef l series lens like the old 24-105 f4 on your R series body?
If the price is right I'd say go for it! I shot with an old EF 24-105 (non-L) on crop DSLR for a season. My only regret was not having enough on the wide end, but I was primarily shooting subjects that were far away so it worked for me.
The image quality, focus speed and build quality of the EF 24-105 L ( I have the mark ii) are very good. The only negative is the size is a bit long once the adapter is added.
Can someone help me decide between the R7 and the R8? Mostly going to be doing street photography and family / vacation use?
And no, I can’t save up for the R6 II with a $21K lens lol
If you are on a budget, then check out the EF versions of the RF lenses mention by Anthony
Exactly whats the Point in presenting all Budget rf lenses one by one? For some of the prices you get EF 50 1.2 L or even EF 85 1.2 L used
hello i have a cannon vixia RF80 and i shoot myself talking.. religious educational videos... 10 ft away and need a lens to get waist up.. im 6'3" also i can only get chest up right now using a 0.43 lens....Please any help !!! Im old and this is very difficult for me lol....thank you
I shoot with a 70d I’m in Europe and my kit lens just broke f3.5-5.6 so I’m stuck shooting with my 24 mm f2.8
the nifty fifty drop gave me a heart attack
I'm actually trying to save up for the 24-70 (or maybe the 24-105) f2.8 for my R7, as I already got myself an older EF 70-200 F2.8L version 1 non-IS. And I gotta say, I love the photos out of that oldie. It's just even at 70, sometimes it's too tight. But to my surprise, I came back from Cuba with pretty good shots from my newly minted RFS 10-18mm 4.5-6.3 variable aperture.
What about the Nikon d50
What about the Nikon D50 ???????
28mm??
EF glass. Buy used EF glass if you are on a budget.
I have the 35 50 16 85 and the 24-105 7.1. I will take the 24-105 7.1 over the 24-50
what about lenses under 200? worth the money or naah
50mm or 24mm pancake
If I have the ef 24-105 mm f4 and the ef 50 mm f1.8, do I need the rf versions?
Yes if you want a lighter and compact setup.
@mirasga other than weight, are there any other advantages like image quality wise?
@@tallpinoy RF lenses are also smaller in use due to the absence of the EF-RF adapter. Smaller bags can be used allowing for smaller and lighter setup.
IQ wise, RF 24-105mm only has a slight edge over the EF. My motivation for upgrading to the RF lenses is not primarily about IQ but size, weight, and ergonomics.
As regards the 50mm, it becomes necessarily large to bring along due to the adapter. I have the RF50mm and I can carry it all the time. Though I prefer the rendering of my Tamron 45mm F1.8, however it weighs a lot, so I don't bring it often as a result.
If you have no RF lenses, the adapter is an non issue since it lives on the camera. But if you have several EF lenses and RF lenses in use, switching lenses WILL become annoying.
BTW, I also have both EF24-105mm mark I and II as well as the EF 50mm F1.8.
Need? Absolutely not. They will work just fine with the adapters. I wouldn’t bother replacing lower end (but still good) glass with more low end glass. Keep that stuff, and save for a real upgrade.
Talk about 24-105f2
Do you mean the f2.8?
I literaly bought today a Pentacon 29mm 2.8 for 30euros... And you can get a full set for 100! 50mm 1.8. and 135mm... All cost some 30 euros. If you have nothing. This is gonna be amazing. And also interesting, vintagy! And probably better than 24 105 wich i definetly dont reconmend buying. Its big. And doesnt perfom that good. Its ok for video shooting because zoom and stabilizastion. Thus documentary work is possible. Thats it. That is literaly the only thing that lens is capable of... documentary shooting.
28-135 is as good for video as 24 105 is... but costs 1\4 ...
Other than that, definetly better buying any prime lenss and not a zoom!!!
Prime lens comes with image stabilization...
What did you study
Your Hair looks SILLY !!!!!!! :) :) :)
Great! Now make a Sony version for people like me 😈
Rf 24/1.8 ???? 🤨
