Canon RF 50mm 1.2 Review (Wedding Photographer's Review)

- In this video I review the Canon RF 50mm 1.2 L lens as a wedding photographer who shoots both photos and videos. I have had this lens for 6 months now and having shot several weddings and many portrait/commercial shoots with it I feel I have a good grasp on what this lens is capable of.
Gear used to film this review:
Shot on a Canon EOS R + 24mm 1.4 II L + RF 50mm 1.2 L + Sigma 35mm 1.4 ART

Thank-you, David! Great helpful review! I am drooling for this lens. Hoping to have the jing$$$ soon!
I have one coming Wednesday. Looking forward to trying it out.
Great in depth review! I still don't understand why everyone gets hung up on the weight... amazing lenses have big glass! Image quality is first and 900g is not that much. With the EOS R, it's still much less than a 1DX setup. I would still use this lens if twice the weight to get that image quality.
Great review! thank you!
Awesome video man! I really hope this whole corona thing will be over soon so I can go and try out this lens
Alex Tăbușcă you and me both my friend, thank you!

It was only in your movie that attention was paid to the operation of the AF motor. I was looking for such information. I myself thought that my RF50 / 1.2 had a defect and wanted to return it to the store. RF24-105 / 4 is inaudible compared to RF50 / 1.2. Thanks for showing it. I'm calmer already :)
Great video! Subscribed.
Would you recommend this over 24-105mm L? Going to use this on eos R.
Also, I am switching from eos 70D with efs 17-55mm lens. Am I going to get significant improvement?
Thank you!!!
Nicely done!!
Thank you, great review.
Thanks for watching my friend!
I rented this lens for a week and decided to get Sigma art 50f1.4
I never actually use f1.2 during wedding photoshoot and the weight almost as same as Sigma art 50f1.4. So yeah save money towards other gear, looking for 15-35RF
Excellent video But if you had choose between the 50rf vs the 24-70f2.8( front or ef) which would you pick for weddings
michael lekas I have the same question
I just know, that Jeff Goldblum do camera review ...
How is the autofocus in video with a moving subject? Thank you.
I love all those plants! Video is good, too!
haha thanks friend, it's our little plant shop that we have. It is a nice little oasis with clean air haha
Greetings good sir should i get the 24-105mm f4 for a wedding or just go all out and grab this 50 1.2 instead. I have an RP to put one of them on.
Hero Shotz depends on what other lenses you have! 24-105 is great for versatility however it will struggle indoors under dimly lit situations. The RF 50 could cover all of your other situations however it is super expensive. Another alternative may be the RF 35 1.8. Hope this helps!
@@davidjorozco i got a $33 yongnuo 50 1.8 lol when i first got the body but im ready to go bigger since i got the opportunity to shoot a wedding in a few months.
Hola David, Last saturday i shoot my first wedding (video) with a z6 and a z6II, optics s85, s35 & s 14-30. I want to shoot hibrid and i will love to use 1 camera and one lens. My background is editorial and photojournalism for press so i move like a monkey for get the shots i want. Q: should i go for the s 50 1.2 or the s 24-70 2.8? Thank you so much for any help. ( just 1 lense)
50mm or 28-70 for family and couples type photography? I currently have the 35L and 85L for my eos r
I personally like primes for almost all of my work so I would have to pick the 50mm. Zooms gave me too many options and distract me away from the moments that are happening. Definitely comes down to preference though. Hope this helps!
Great video. Subscribed!
Bentley B thank you so much, appreciate it friend!
What lens are you filming yourself on in this video?
Hey man,
I am currently using fujifilm xt1 18-55mm Plus 35mm f1.4 Lens, bought it in 2015, looking to upgrade to full frame, would you recommend eos r? I know the R5 will be out soon but I only use the camera for personal use. My Fuji video mode is kinda crap.
michael p i usually use just servo and it works absolutely perfect.
why don't you just get the rp especially if your only using for personal use. As long as your happy with 1080p and don't need 4k video. I mean your lenses is probably going to factor more into image quality then what camera body you get don't see why someone would play 800 dollar more for the r especially for personal use.
i wish canon make smaller 50mm 1.4 L lens ,
The servo tracking stills, at the start with the girl - was that with dual pixels set ? Thanks
john wheatley Hi John! You do not have to “turn on” dual pixel autofocus the camera uses it inherently in all modes (with exception of 720/120p video)
@@davidjorozco Oh !! Okay... On my 5d mk iv you have the choice dual pixel or not dual pixel.... Thanks for the quick answer - good video btw..
I'm so confused with all the lenses, I'm new to all of this so no hate plz but I just want the perfect lens (2 lenses max) for interviews, IG photography, video work, and blogging. RF lens only.
Hmm I have around 3 Lenses in mind. All RF:
15-35mm 2.8
24-70mm 2.8 or 28-70mm 2.0
Just saying, the last one is a big beast.
Will you have a rf 85 video coming soon ? Intrested in your thoughts on the DS version
Bentley B great question, I don’t currently own it but would love to get my hands on one to see what it’s like! Hopefully in the near future
Canons RF L lenses look really nice. Way better than the Nikon S lenses
Thanku so much..
Most welcome 😊
I picked this lens up brand new for 1500 [import] , not bad ey
Pretty good I’d say. That’s what used prices are right now!
Why you are comparing L f1.2 to 1.8
Ok one Question, I thought 1.2 was only supposed to be used for one person not two, am I missing something?
Not necessarily. I totally get why you’d say that though. The farther away from your subject you are the greater the relative depth of field. If you can position the people on the same plane then theoretically they’ll both be in focus. Will it be perfect? Probably not. But with a little distance between you and them it will look close.
@@davidjorozco I see, so if I will be close to two people it should be 2.8 or higher, but if I want to use 1.2 for two people I should be a bit far?
@@royaltykidstv- It depends on distance, aperture, placing of the two people and angle of view. I can take pictures with a 85 1.2 with two people, being close and having both in focus. But there are also situations where I have to go back to 2.0, 2.8 or 3.5... you can't say that in general. I also take group shots with 1.2 sometimes 🤷♂️😁
model is cute
It’s the “turned you off because of the huge size” for me hahaha
The Nikon 50 1.2 is bigger and heavier... oops
@1:04 thats what she said
Why would someone want a metal barrel on a lens. Metal dents and scratches lowing the value if you want to sell the lens. Metal collects heat in hot climates and gets extremely cold in winter weather. Metal was what was used in the 1920s for lens construction.
2500€ ??? Come one boy go home
