Ive used the 14-35 for everything from weddings to portraits to sports its very versatile, but if I want to shoot at higher shutter speeds at night I have to whip out the 35 1.8!
i just got the rf 16mm on my r6ii. this is my first rf lens. I was surviving on EF lenses with the adapter. I m happy so far. will give full info after sometime.
I like 14-35 for enjoyable framing, but the 16mm is easier in my shoulder bag, even when paired with the nifty fifty. They are less awkward during switch and they are expendable; you can get many for the price of a 14-35...
It seems like you're comparing the Canon RF 14-35mm lens to the 16mm and the nifty fifty (probably the Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM lens) for portability and convenience. Let me summarize your points and provide some insights: 1. **Canon RF 14-35mm:** - Enjoyable framing, likely due to its versatile zoom range. - Potentially larger and heavier, making it less convenient for everyday carry. - Higher price compared to the combination of the 16mm and nifty fifty. 2. **16mm and Nifty Fifty (Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM):** - More compact and lighter, making them easier to carry. - Possibly more convenient for quick switches in your shoulder bag. - Cost-effective, as you can get both for a price similar to the Canon RF 14-35mm. Choosing between these setups depends on your specific needs and shooting preferences: - If portability and convenience are your top priorities, the combination of the 16mm and nifty fifty might be a great choice, especially if the focal lengths provided by these two lenses cover the range you need. - If you value the versatility of a zoom lens and enjoy the framing possibilities that the 14-35mm range offers, the Canon RF 14-35mm might be worth the investment, despite its larger size. Consider your typical shooting scenarios, the type of photography you enjoy, and how much emphasis you place on factors like size, weight, and cost. Additionally, test each lens setup in real-world situations to see which one aligns better with your shooting style and preferences.
You are correct, and I appreciate the clarification. I must have misstated the minimum focus distance (MfD) for the Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM lens in a previous response. I apologize for any confusion. To clarify, the correct minimum focus distance for the Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM lens is indeed 13 centimeters, not 26 centimeters. The maximum magnification is 0.26x. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and I appreciate your understanding. If you have any more questions or if there's anything else I can assist you with, feel free to let me know!
The Canon EOS R6 paired with a dual lens setup of the RF 16mm f/2.8 and RF 35mm f/1.8 is a versatile combination that covers a range of focal lengths suitable for various photography styles. Let's take a look at the characteristics of each lens: 1. **Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM:** - **Wide Angle:** The 16mm focal length provides a wide-angle perspective, making it great for landscape, architecture, and environmental portraits. - **Large Aperture:** While not an extremely fast lens, the f/2.8 aperture allows for decent low-light performance and creative control over depth of field. - **Compact Design:** The lens is compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry and suitable for various shooting situations. 2. **Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 IS Macro STM:** - **Versatile Prime Lens:** The 35mm focal length is considered a standard focal length, suitable for a wide range of photography, including street, portrait, and general-purpose shooting. - **Large Aperture:** The f/1.8 aperture is particularly useful for low-light situations and achieving a pleasing background blur (bokeh). - **Image Stabilization:** The lens features image stabilization, which helps in reducing camera shake, especially in low-light conditions or when shooting handheld. This dual lens setup gives you the flexibility to capture a variety of scenes and subjects. The wide-angle 16mm lens is great for capturing expansive landscapes or unique perspectives, while the 35mm lens provides a more natural field of view for everyday shooting. Consider your shooting preferences and the types of photography you enjoy. If you find yourself needing a longer focal length for specific situations, you might also consider adding a telephoto lens to your kit. Overall, the RF 16mm and RF 35mm combination should serve you well for a wide range of photography styles, and the Canon EOS R6 provides an excellent platform for high-quality imaging.
I have the 14-35mm and it is a great lens however I skipped the 16mm ad got the 24mm. The 24 is a better lens then the 16mm, but you are paying more for it. The lens correction is crazy like the 16 tho.

Hey there. Thanks for sharing your feedback.
The RF 35mm was my first RF lens.
Still have it and it is a great lens.
i just got the rf 16mm on my r6ii. this is my first rf lens. I was surviving on EF lenses with the adapter. I m happy so far. will give full info after sometime.
Great. I had it a few months, until I switched to the 24mm RF
Waiting for the RF 24mm 1.4L
@@the_daniel_life why you switched to 24mm? for the picture quality or the 16mm was too wide for you?

I have the 16mm. Just crop it a little and it becomes 24mm or even 35mm. Its lightweight and save money.
Best lens for full frame cameras. Which camera are you using? Daniel
I would have been interested in the differences of the barrel distortion amount in the uncorrected raw files at 16mm.
Hey there, just have a look into the video description below. I added the download-link.

16mm pairs nicely with the 24-105/4. 16mm has severe astigmatism wide open, but at f/4 is okay for astrophotography.
Hello, today I own the RF 24mm 1.8 Macro and the 14mm 1.8 GM by Sony. Daniel
MfD on the 16 STM is 13cm, not 26cm; you're mixing up with its max magnification which is 0,26x.

Very timely - contemplating which one is best for me (for travel). Thanks
Perfect.
Happy to hear that.

@@the_daniel_lifethank you for using ChatGPT
I can’t decide 😢 both are amazing in use
Get the cheaper one. Daniel

Which 24mm do you own?
RF?
@@the_daniel_life Yes the RF. I ordered it as soon as they announced it. I tried the 16mm and i was not happy with the lack of some of the features
@@jesters16 What's about AF tracking in video? 14-35 vs 16
16-35mm F4 all day long.
Well, not our yet for the RF mount
