EVERYTHING Has Changed (Canon RF 28-70 f/2.0 6-Month Update)

- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2024
- A few months ago I made a review of the Canon RF 28-70 f/2.0 after using it for only one wedding day. Well 6 months later my opinion about this lens has changed... I LOVE IT more than I ever thought I would. It gives you all the advantages of shooting with prime lenses AND zoom lenses with almost zero compromise. I use it for 80%-90% of my images on the wedding day and want to share my experiences with this lens after using it non-stop for 6 months!

I"ve been a 35/50/85 guy for nearly 20 years. Finally managed to find the 28-70 in stock and I'm loving it. I've photographed maybe 8 weddings with it and managed to shoot entire weddings with nothing more then the 28-70 + 135. Dream combo.
Love it!
Really need help with this
My Ef 24-70 lens is broken. The repair is around 600€
I mostly use the canon R5 with the adapter and this lens and sometimes my RF 35mm
I've been researching and I'd like to know what you think is the best option:
Buy canon RF 85mm F2 and the new RF 16mm
(since I already have the RF 35mm)
or
Just buy the RF 24-105 f4 lens
(everybody seems to love this lens)
The difference between the two options is just 100€
I can't decide between this 2 options. What would you do?
Also which lenses do you think have the best quality and durability?
Thank you ❤️
@@joaoluis4039 Dunno what you went with but the 16 is a bad lens with a lens correction profile slapped on. Definitely dont go with that one.
Which 135mm are you using?
There is the 1.6x crop mode which makes this a 112 f2. Why not use that instead of the 135?
This is just about the best camera equipment review I’ve seen yet, because it’s about real-world, on-the-job use of a product, compared and contrasted to a prior recognized solution. The details made it real - thanks for sharing this way
Glad you liked it!
This lens was so much fun to use when I borrowed it, definitely a must own for those of us who need versatility with the absolute utmost quality. It felt like using cheat codes when I had this lens, I loved it. Great video as always. Much love from Chicago ✌️
Thanks for watching Jonny! It definitely feels like cheating 😂
You deserve waaaay more subscribers! Love that you’re just delivering insightful information in a conversational, honest way.
haha!! Share away! We have been doing this for a little over a year! Steadily growing it!
Glad I'm not the only one! Got this lens with my R6 and I literally use it 99% of the time at weddings. It only comes off for macro shots. It makes weddings way more easier to shoot not changing lenses or carrying a bag all the time! Glad someone else finally realized this!!
It is the best!
What do you guys use for macro shots?
The RF 100mm macro!
I appreciate your delivery that comes off as sincere and non-pretentious. Very refreshing. The primes are so good (EF 35mm L II/RF 50 L/RF 85L/ EF 135 L) that I'm not sure I could make the switch myself - but don't doubt the magic one bit.
Thanks for watching!
Your allegiance to functionality versus prime lens snobbery is refreshing and welcomed. The RF 28-70 clearly demonstrates that with the right technology in the body, and the right opticals in the lens, one can do, and do well. Thanks.
haha!! I was prime lens snobbery, thanks for watching!
Seriously, this is the definitive review on the 28-70 F2. I 100% agree everything you mentioned! When you photograph events, travel and portraits: this lens makes your bag of primes obsolete. As opposed to the F2.8, this lens has the “look” that only primes have. I’m also around F2-F2.8 when I shot primes - because the narrow depth of field would throw couples or eyes out of focus. Have you considered the R5? Your R6 is already an amazing match but the resolution bump of the R5 is quite significant. Anyway, I’m in love with the F2 zoom as well. I think it will stay with me for many years to come, this baby is a keeper 🥰
I am tempted by the r5... maybe one day!
I actually bought it for the increased sharpness for fashion style photos on an R5. This lens is just totally nuts on how much detail it can render… And of course the ABILITY to use wider apertures is just unthinkable!
Yes it’s so sharp! And the flexibility is unmatched by any lens!
The sharpness is mad insane. Kills the 70-200
Can you take macro pictures with these?
This makes me so happy to hear. We have an r6 and it's nice to hear someone else validate the expense of this lens. Love it.
Totally worth the money in my opinion!
Definitely, If people think about it its a combination of 3 rf lenses, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm (close enough) and that all costs 2.5 by its value
This review pushed me over the edge. As soon as this lens becomes available (back ordered) I'm on it! Also, such a genuine personality! Love your review!
Hope you enjoy it!
I was so scared when I saw the title lol. I actually ordered it and it came today! Thanks for your great advice, I can’t wait to use it! Glad you still love it!
You give such good advice. I want this lens now. You are honest and direct and that is so valuable. We all should listen to you, you know what you are talking about. Thank you.
I appreciate that!
I love the way you talk about this lens🥰 thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Thanks for watching!
I understand 100% what you are saying. I also was strictly prime user, specially 35mm 1.4 II. Then the 50 1.2 RF. Rented out the 28-70 once. Sold my 50 right away and got my the 28-70. It was sold out everywhere for awhile and managed to find one small camera store 1 hour away from me and picked it up, never looked back! Absolutely an incredible game changing lens.
It really is!
Such an amazing review, thank you! I have been eyeing this lens to replace my primes because I feel like they're slowing me down now and this looks sooo gooood.
Glad it was helpful!
You just made me set a goal for me to buy this lens. No matter how much other photographers say the gear does not matter. We all know it does into getting more of those money shots.
Your personality is just like Venessa joy. You guys have so much in common right from the soft and politeness to the equipment to the experience.
Thanks for watching!
Rented an R5 and this lens to shoot my brother’s wedding. It was amazing. Wish I had the need to own one. AMAZING!!!
It really is amazing!
Have seen other amazing videos from your channel before. But this one straight off pushed me to subscribe. I have been shooting for a little over a decade now and I know precisely what you mean. The f2.8 look was what made me stay away from my 24-70 f2.8 whenever a lens change was possible. The difference this lens brings into that equation is phenomenal. I'm too heavily invested right now to invest into another lens again but this video adds this lens into that list of things to get someday.
Thanks for following along!!
I was on the fence for a while about this camera set up, especially because so many videos showed people using it for wild life photography. Thank you so much for this video.
I used to shoot with the Sigma Art 24-105 f/4 then I got the 28-70 and it really is the dream lens. I shoot live theatre and events and I can now shoot with the same settings but two stops lower in ISO and the images are so clean it's like I shot them in daylight!
Thanks for watching!
I love this!! I switched to Canon so I bought this pair and I feel so powerful on wedding days!!
I can get the perfect picture in ONE shot. I shoot way less and have way less junk to cull through.
Thanks for the recommendation!
YES! That's so true! You're welcome! Glad you've been loving it!
Thanks Katelyn. It's an insanely heavy but great lens. I use a peak design strap across the shoulder and body to distribute the weight while not actually shooting which really helps with potential fatigue rather than carrying in hand most of the day. For photographers that hate straps, I get it, but in this instance I think it's a really good idea. Loved your comment about zoom lenses and what focal length to use having had your experience with primes. The way I do it is to say, okay let's do some wide angel shots and I try keep the discipline of not zooming during this phase and vice versa for tele or mid tele end of the zoom, otherwise you can lose your way a little. Treating this lens like having 4 primes is the way to go imho. Cheers
Thanks for watching!
Indeed - this lens is game changer! Get a side strap such as the peak design clutch and you will never get tired using this combo!
Thanks for sharing!
Agree with your delight in the versatility and quality of this lens - it is permanently mounted on my main body, leaving the 10% remaining shots i shoot on my second body to my 70-200, 15-35 or specialty prime (50/85/100). depending on the assignment. This is the lens that can be counted on to be the mainstay and moneymaker in the camera bag.
Definitely! I'm so surprised how little I use anything else!
This was really enjoyable seeing you talking about this lens with so much passion. I shoot Micro Four Thirds, but if I had a Canon Mirrorless I would really be tempted to buy this lens. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
First lens I ever bought with my R. I now have the R6 and R5 and it lives on my R5 . I have the battery grip and even though it is heavy it balances it all out so well. Highly recommend!!!
Thanks for sharing
You are so amazing. I found this video while trying to understand if I need the lens and now I know that I definitely do need it since the look of a prime lens is exactly what I am going for. And I agree that years of shooting with prime lenses made me a much better photographer, I thought about it but never heard anyone else saying this. I also never leave comments on RUclips but you are just so amazing! :)
And Canon should give you a percentage. Where is your referral link to B&H and Amazon?
Love it!! Thanks for watching!
haha i know right!!
I rented this for an upcoming wedding-there is unfortunately a back order at B and H. So excited to try it out! Thanks for sharing. You always have the best videos and are so sweet and real! Thank you! 🥰
Hope you like it!
I bought a refurb of this lens through Canon about a month ago and... good gravy I love it! I was bragging on it to a fellow photographer and she just couldn’t believe that the photos I showed her were NOT taken with a prime. It’s just the best thing!!
That's a great idea for getting one! It's so crazy how much the images look like they were shot with a prime! CRAZY!
Ordered it! Can't wait to put it through its pace!
Awesome! You're going to love it!
Absolutely love your videos. Just the information I need to make a decision.
This was super useful! I only ever owned one zoom lens: a Canon EF 28-80L (yes, that old one which weighs over 1kg). Used it on weddings back in my semi-pro film days but went primes since. Now I'm looking for a fast system next to my Fuji GFX for dance performances. You convinced me I need to try out that 28-70!
Thanks for watching!
Great review! You've convinced me to seriously consider skipping over the 24-70 and saving up for this. Keep up the great work.
I totally would!! Thanks for watching!
Back in 1991 I bought the Canon 28-70 f2.8 to f4 lens I then upgraded in 2000 to the 28 -70 f2.8 through out, so I used this focal length for 30 years for weddings mostly on film its a great focal length and very convenient and now it's a stop faster.
Thanks for watching!
I love it too ! I switched from Nikon for this lens and it’s my favorit lens for my R6
Totally worth switching for!!
I just got this lens a few days ago and shot 2 events with it this weekend. It is soooooo amazing and I agree with every single point you mentioned lol. Have you ever thought of getting a battery grip for your R6 so your hand/wrist isn't sore at the end of the day? For me, the battery grip helped balance the heavy lens since it is front heavy.
Great idea!
I've been using a grip for years on all my cameras. I was going to ditch the grip on my new R6 because $349 for a grip is RIDICULOUS. The second I put my EF 70-200mm on my R6 yesterday I knew I was destined to put a grip on it. Yeah, it's extra weight but it's important for good balance with big lenses.
I bought this lens for doing 4k video on my R5. Because it is an 8k sensor you can program C1 to shoot 4K in full frame with a 28-70 focal length and then program C2 to shoot in cropped sensor mode to basically double the focal length and still get 4K resolution.
For run and gun situations this is great and a monopod solves the weight issue.
Thanks for sharing!
Nice advice 👍
To make this the ultimate wedding setup - a setting on one of the camera dials to lock the zoom into those classic prime focal lengths. *click* 35mm *click* 50mm 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Leica have these for their M mount cameras they have to click to each focal length since they work with and they need to be adjusted each time you change focal, which is done mechanically via the lens mount so the zoom lenses you find is like a 35-50-75 f4.
I edited this post as the grammar just seemed terrible. I would also like to add you could use these lenses - to probably great affect on any modern day mirrorless system.
Thanks for watching!
I have been using primes for years too but oh wow this is a unreal lens for weddings, its like a few primes in one lens shooting at that f2
Yes yes please share your insights on the 100 mm rf lens. Love all your videos! Thank you! 🙏
Thanks!
Your videos always look incredible. Would love to see what sort of lighting and overall setup is for this setting. Thanks for the share.
Follow @tylerherrinton on instagram! He normally posts something when we are filming
I had a rf28-70 backordered since February, finally got it a week ago. One word: Wow.
I agree!
Great review...just what I needed to hear. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much! Love your videos and you have made me a believer!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
Great video, Katelyn. I left Nikon for this lens and the R5, I rarely miss focus. This lens is magical. Canon has changed my life. Also to balance the weight I got the battery grip.
Thanks for sharing!
Courtney, which Nikon did you have? I’m debating switching to Canon. I’m a portrait and product photographer, but think I’d get a lot of use out of this lens.
@@caroldavis5921 Sorry for the late response. I had a Nikon D610.
I love using zoom lenses for families and weddings, the versatility is amazing!
It really is!
Just purchased for a gig as I’m mainly a video but do a lot of photo stuff and use manual lenses for photos but my r5c isn’t really liking these, hard to get sharp photos so I dived in and this video makes me feel confident about my purchase.
Im here after your first warning video.. and i knew you would change your mind. You can still walk around as before, you only have so much better tool in ypur hands now. We dont need 1.4 and changing lenses, this is the holy grail walk around lens.. no primes needed with this monster.
The RF zooms are very very good. I had the EF version of this back in the 5D mkii days and it was temperamental to say the least. I still love a prime though.
I've never seen your channel before... you're a great speaker/presenter. Nice perspective on this lens. Thanks for sharing!! (also, #subscribed)
Welcome! Thanks for watching!
Amazing lens. As for weight, I have found that instead of using a battery grip to improve ergonomics with a heavy lens, it is better to get a Promedia Gear L-bracket, which has an offset "L" vertical piece that sits forward of the ports on the left side, and can be extended out a few inches so that you can completely wrap your left hand around it as a handle. The advertised purpose of this vertical piece is for portrait oriented tripod work, but I found it super ergonomic to use during a long wedding as a grip. Not only can you grip the "handle" while shooting, but you can also use it to dangle the camera at your side between shots. Rather than using your finger strength on the camera grip combined with some bicep curls as you carry it around, you can instead just wrap your fingers fully around the L plate and let your arm hang limp at your side, and let your arm bones take the weight. This makes an incredible difference in fatigue for fingers, hands, wrist etc. As a bonus it takes a Spider Pro pin on the bottom edge of that L, and the plate itself has a QD port so that you can hook it up to a Black Rapid or Holdfast.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing!
This is such an underrated comment. I've also moved to using an extensible L-bracket (SmallRig). It's a game changer.
Hola from Playa del Carmen. I found you youtube channel a few days ago while I was searching for new cameras and lenses....WWEEELLLL you nailed it and made my life much easier. All I have to do now is convince my lovely wife....hee hee . I'll just forward your video about the 28-70m to her with a bottle of wine and fish tacos...BOOM DONE. I need this lens big time...I to love prime but shooting 50+ weddings and a ton of family shoots...I NEED THIS LENS. Thanks again guys!!!
Haha!! Awesome!! Love playa del Carmen!!
Your video made me giggle, I rented this lens and an EOS R last year and was so blown away, I have been saying THIS IS THE BEST EVENT Lens Ever Made! I have put money aside to buy one for a few months now.... I had to get the R6 first and that was a game changer!
It is so true!
I am a complete amateur and mostly a travel/tourism photographer and often get left behind fiddling with 2/3 lenses while whoever I'm travelling with gets frustrated so I either have to move on or compromise with a badly framed/low res shot.
I first took this lens to a late night illuminated woodland and got shots just on full auto settings out of the box that would have been impossible on any of my many other lenses.
Plus I could reframe take short video clips and move on carrying one camera and one lens.
Cant wait to take this to my favourite landscape locations
I just bought mine a few weeks ago and took it out for it's first test drive at a burlesque show a this week. OMG! Game changer!
Thanks for watching!
Time to add this to my wish list! 🥰 thank you for this review! Wish I could afford this like right at this moment haha!
it is worth it!
Good to see you really love your bridge camera.
Thanks for watching!
After watching your enthusiasm now I want the Canon RF 28-70! I have the R6 paired with the 85mm 1.4, but the versatility of the 28-70mm makes me want one. Time to save up! lol
I think it is worth it!
I have the 28-70 paired up with the r5. Absolutely love this combo
I have heard great things!!
great video and great comments about this lens. I only shoot my children running around these days and tried using a 35mm for story telling, but missing the ability to zoom and compose but wanted the prime shallow dof look. I think this would be a great replacement for my 35/50/85 primes and then just grab a 105/1.4 if it comes out or a 135/2 if it comes out and i'm set. I'll probably need to grab a 70-200/2.8 when my sons are older and in more sports. i always wanted the prime look in zooms. keep up the great videos!
Thanks so much!
I got my first ever camera R5 and I coupled it with RF 28-70 F2 L lens. I use this lens for landscapes, portrait, group shots of friends and family and I love this lens so much. This lens leaves my camera only when I’m shooting wildlife with RF 100-500 F4.5-7.1 L lens.
Amazing!
There will be those who disagree, not me. If it helps the workflow, and the client is happy, 'nuff said. You go girl.
Thanks!
It’s amazing how good zooms have become in the past 5 years.
It has surprised me for sure!
It's amazing how expensive lenses have become. What a coincidence that manufacturers want us to buy full frame cameras and absurdly fast lenses so we can get infinitesimally shallow depth of field. (I just shoot without a lens at all - that way I get zero depth of field.)
@@john-lenin I thought I was the only one that shot without lens! There’s so much emphasis on sharpness, focus, zooms, primes, this and that etc… it’s exhausting and I’m tired of it.
I just got rid of the lens altogether and find that I love shooting without any optical elements obtruding my sensor. The raw, pure image straight from the sensor is where it’s at. You can’t really see any detail at all (it’s all a blur) but it’s ok. Most people can look past that.
Thank you so much for sharing this awesome review, I bought this lens , day by day , I am sure I will not sale it , I love it 🤗
Just found your channel and am really happy I did. Love your content.
Welcome! Thanks for watching!
I was about 95% sure I wanted to order this lens (for my channel vids and general photography) and you’ve just decided it for me, it’s getting ordered! Thanks for sharing your experiences 😃
Glad I could help! I hope you can find one in stock!!
@@KatelynJames Thanks, found one now and I’m looking forward to getting it!
This is a really, really, really smart suggestion. Thanks
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
As someone who doesn't shoot weddings often, I went for the 50 1.2 and the 70-200 combo instead with a kit lens for 24mm and 35mm uses at f4-f4.5. The way I uses these two lenses is 50mm 1.2 if there is any foreground closer to the subject, if I cannot find any foreground elements nearby my subject, I just switch to my 70-200 2.8 for foreground in the 110-200mm range.
Thanks for sharing! Everyone has their own style and approach!
I love mine! And totally agree I shoot at least 90% of the wedding with. It’s so good that my second shooter is changing over from Nikon Z system!
So good!
Terrific video. Very informative. Thank you very much!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Been shooting fashion and fine art for a couple of years. Rented this lens to use with my R. Loved it. Got a cover shot with it. I ended up buying the RF24-70 2.8 because it has IS and the R does not. Once I step up to the R5 I will sell my 24-70 and get this lens. Love the emotion in your reviews.
Thanks so much!
Thanks so much!
I rented this lens for a wedding once and loved it but I was so bothered by the weight that I didn't buy it. You're making me reconsider my decision! Maybe I just need to work on my upper body strength more but wow that lens takes a toll on my arms :D
Hope you enjoy it!
that's what i'm worried about! I barely use my 70-200 lens because it's so heavy. Do you have one too? Do you think it's that heavy? or heavier?
I have owned this now for 18 months and it rarely leaves my R5 for the vast majority of the wedding also. Shoot, RF15-35 on my second body and occasionally swap this out for RF70-200 f2.8. I think you need a cross body strap at least to take some of the weight while not shooting. I use a Holdfast money maker as I shoot two bodies and would thoroughly recommend this or the solo strap if you only shoot a single camera.
Thanks for sharing!
Great channel. Crisp delivery. Juicy gear.
Glad you think so!
This lens still feels like it would be a compromise for me but know I could make it work. I also teach photography and often have students with slower zooms and will show them how to isolate subjects and find more bokeh (getting closer and/or finding backdrops with distance and pleasing shapes at any f-stop) but as a working pro, don’t want to limit myself too much. I’d have a really hard time not using the new 50 RF1.2 (incredibly sharp wide open). I’d love to see a comparison between it and the 28-70 f2 at 50mm, both wide open and stopped down a bit. I have the diminishing returns argument with myself all the time but by nature am always looking for a little bit better ..even if it means a lot more work.
Great idea!
I’d just like to say I think kit zooms are great for new photographers as well. I can also still work with full frame kit zoom. They’re just *too* slow for me at this point on APS-C when it comes to the subject isolation options on the wide end. I like to at least have… something to work with if I need it.
I shoot indoor sport so zooms are important because I have limited room to move when I'm court-side. I also need to crank my shutter to 1/1000 to freeze the motion. This lens has been a game changer for me, because my images now have half the noise of the people beside me using f2.8 zooms.
Thanks for watching!
I got that lens I love it so much!!! I still use my other lenses thanks to the adapter. That lens with the R5 I fell in love with photography all over again
Yes! I feel like this is almost the only RF lens you need, especially if you have good EF glass!
@@KatelynJames I agree if anything I just need the 100mm macro to complete my set
Thank you for your videos. You're like an adorable friend in the Canon RUclips community. :)
You're the best!
ok, you convinced me. Ordering it!
haha!! Don't blame me!! You are gonna love it!
The "using it for 80-90% of the shots" when being a prime photographer normally, was totally the reason for me buying this lens recently. So happy with the quality of this lens. It really is a game changer. The weight doesn't bother me on a gripped body personally. I was mostly a 35, 85, 135 prime shooter before (and 100 macro of course). I can definitely see how this replaces most of the needs for the 35/85 range. Super happy with my purchase and agree with what you've said :)
Love it Cat!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the review and your enthusiasm. For the weight, I'd recommend the Clutch from Peak Design. It's strong, secure, convenient (doesn't get caught up), and helps me feel less paranoid about dropping my camera.
I keep hearing about this! We may need to check it out!
Love my clutch...
I’d love to see a side by side with the RF 24-70 to see if f2.0 is worth losing wider frame, less size/weight and IS
I think it is totally worth it, but that is a good video idea!
Well said on all points! This lens is phenomenal, and it's not as big and heavy as many think.
I guess it's all relative! 95mm filter thread is pretty big for a standard lens!
I'm a bodybuilder so it's not heavy at all... But let's not kid about the size, it's massive lol.
@@kelb89 I'm a weightlifter as well, so maybe that's why it's not too heavy. However, I think many exaggerate the size and weight of this lens. The EF 70-200 f/2.8 or 100-400 is bigger than this lens. Any 400,600,800mm lens is considerably larger. I guess as KJ said, it's all relative.
Hi Katelyn. I got an apology email from B&H saying that my 28-70 f/2.0 was still on back order. It has been 2 months of waiting. I was going to cancel my order and switch it to the RF 50 f/1.2. But you just gave me all the reasons to wait it out a little longer to pair this lens with my R5. Thank you Katelyn! 😘
About 3 months ago I needed this lens and could not get it because everybody had it on back order. I did a search across America and bought it used. It’s paid for itself.
Thanks for watching! It is worth the wait!
I finally got my 28-70 f/2.0 after waiting 3 months. The weddings I wanted shoot with the lens have gone and went. I don’t have anymore weddings booked for the rest of the year. I guess it will stay in the box till next year.
I absolutely love my RF 28-70mm f/2L lens. I debated between this lens and the RF 85mm f/1.2L, and the RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS. So glad I got this lens! No regrets at all.
Although I did just order the RF 50mm f/1.2L because it's also magical as well.
We rarely use the 50mm now. It blows my mind haha
@@KatelynJames - Now I'm wondering if I should have bought the RF 85mm f/1.2L instead of the RF 50mm f/1.2L....
I’m looking at switching from my whole Nikon setup to R6 + this lens for the af and this lens! Great video - thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Mines just came in last week and I love it 😍
Its the best!
Before everyone runs out and orderes one, I ordered mine in FEBRUARY from Adorama and it's still backordered.
It is worth the wait!
I got this day one with my R5. I love it. And the weight is fine for me.
Thanks for watching!
I actually bought it for Astrophotography with the R6. It’s amazing for that too
Thanks for sharing!
You are such a positive person.
Thanks for watching!
Just found your account after buying a Canon R6. Thanks so much for all the info. I really appreciate your down to earth personality and useful tips from the field! Do you have any tips for getting started with off-camera flash or flash in general?
There is a video in my channel... ill try to find it!
Got that lens couple of days ago! :))) Can’t wait to shoot wedding with it this Saturday :)) And I LOVE 28-70!!!!!!
Congrats! You're going to love it!!
@@KatelynJames Thank you! I will love it for sure! :))
If you have a lot of soreness, try it with a grip.
It sounds counter intuitive, but the extra weight shifts the balance hence putting less pressure on your hands.
Ergonomics isn't necessarily about less weight.
If you would need to choose which lenses to buy for family/kids/love stories photoshootings , which one would you choose between 85mm 1.2 and 28-70 2.0? Telling that I have already 35 mm 1.4 , 135 mm 2.0 , 50 1.8
I am shooting with the R6 and the ef 24-70 f2.8L with the adapter I CANNOT wait to get this one!!!!
Yes!! You're going to love it if you like the 24-70!
Thank you for all your videos. I just picked up the R6. I am not a professional photographer but would call myself a prosumer. I will likely save up for the RF 28-70 but am happy with my EF lenses with the adapter. Quick question if you see this. Do you ever use battery grips? I haven't seen if you have commented on this topic but will search your past videos. I love your work, keep it up.
We do not, we had them for the mark 4, but never used them
agree.... once I got the 28-70/2, all my other Canon lenses are kind of lonely. Even 85 1.2 RF is kind of sitting on the shelf.... 28-70 just has this amazing rendering that 24-70/2.8 lenses don't.
TRUTH!
