bbbbbzzzzzz, bzzzzzzzzzzzz
Beeeeesssss....!!!
Medium format sensor in a Canon body, will it ever happen?
Hey sir, you said this could be the 3rd or 4th lens in the kit, would you tell us what's the first 2, that you would choose?
Almost expected for a Ruby Rod video clip cut in…
@@mr702s lol the r system is expensive enough
I have this lens. It's incredible. I find I'm using it as a portrait lens just about all the time now. There is something extra to this lens, the character is something I very much like. The focus system is an amazing bonus.
Can you get that hard polygonal shaped bokeh even with bigger subjects like humans in focus? Like, a tight shot of a human not being too close to the subject.
@@virenp1983 I've found the bokeh to be softer than something like a Helios or pentagon, but you can get similar sort of bokeh, but not so prominent, with a busy background like patchy trees, magnolia or foliage background with mottled light.
Guess you don't have an RF 85 1.2 or 28-70 f2 then.
@@frostybe3r No, unfortunately. I have the 28-70mm on back order, cant wait, it looks absolutely amazing. Would love 85 but my wallet is taking a hit already, but that would round out my dream kit, cheers
@@elams1894 Knew there was a reason you use this RF 100 2.8 as your main portrait lens. :)
I’m still on my 5Dmk4 and I have the EF version of the 100mm macro. I think that the extra magnification and in-body stabilization would be a key reason for me to switch to this lens rather than just adapting the old one. Thanks for the great video as always!
All RF Mount comes with more pins that improve focus and for some reason even been the same lens, RF lenses are a little bit sharper.
Howard that EF you have is an awesome lens, got to use one for a week. I used to dream of the day I could afford it and now I finally bought it. Still waiting for UPS but itll be here soon. (RF model) :)
One thing I noticed from your review (even though I've already had this lens for a couple of weeks now) is that longitudinal chromatic aberration is completely and totally absent. That's brilliant!
Those images make me wanna go out and shoot! Awesome work, editing is spot on
Agree
I got my copy already on July 7th here in Germany.... this lens is phantastic!
Extremely fast focus, very sharp.
I’m stoked to get mine. I’m on the waiting list with my local camera shop.
I have the Canon R6 and this RF 100mm Macro and I love it. It's so much fun to use.
I got it last week done a few tests so far. It is amazing!
After adjusting the SA, you need to do a focus again to make it works
thanks for the review, answered some questions I had, will eventually get this. Honestly I cannot wait for your RF 14-35 review, may be the deciding factor for getting that or the 15-35
Longwood is such a great spot. One of my favorite gardens.
Just ordered this lens today, looking forward to it arriving
Awww man.... I was so happy with my 100mm EF Macro on my R5 until I saw this review. 1.4x and super fast focusing seem like a big upgrade!
Glad to hear it's fast focusing. Macro lens usually focus slowly, and the EF 100L macro is super, super, super slow.
I got the RF 85 2.0 Macro...love it
I just bought this lens to replace my 20 year old 100mm 2.8... I'm in heaven. This lens is so FAST and so sharp. And versatile! I'm going to have a blast with this lens, it will probably be my go-to "one lens when I'm out and about" pick because I can shoot almost anything with it. And the color saturation is incredible. 😍 Oh also, it was on sale at my local camera shop for $1,199 and then there was an additional $100 instant rebate. Woohoo!
Patiently waiting for the RF 14-35 review!
Not rushing out to get it myself. At some point I will be adding it but it is definitely something most people can wait to add to their bag.
6:47: “I’ve held 10” before; don’t ask me what it was or whose it was…”🤣
Lol I agree that was funnnnnnni
You should really consider setting the control ring to modify color temperature in kelvin! Thats how I use it and I have the "LOCK" button at your pointer finger to disable control ring and aperature wheel when I don't want to accidentally hit one.
Great review, thank you.
In my experience with this lens, the spherical aberration control is basically a decoupling of focus breathing from focusing allowing for a small, (and I mean tiny) amount of zoom on the subject. Personally I've found it most useful when shooting a macro image at the closest focus distance but want a bit more.
I would, however, have preferred that the feature and associated cost, were left out!
How many rf cameras are on the way .
I'm excited 🙏
Nice job team. I can only imagine how about that lens with the R3
Very nicely shot and informative video. Bravo.
Thanks for this review. Because of your review, I just ordered this lens.
wow great review. honestly you really inspire.
I’m definitely getting this before summer comes
Nice to see someone do a macro lens review and actually shoot at 1x and higher mag with it. Now if Canon would just make an RF version of the MP-E 65mm...
I used the spherical aberration control at Longwood gardens this summer with the light art at night and I really enjoyed the bokeh effects. It created some stunning bokeh
fantastic lens.. I got mine paired up with the r5.. I switched from the ef version..
The EF with the rear drop in ND adapter is hard to beat for video.
2:18 the SA seems like a good idea on paper but you can get a similar if not the same effect in Lightroom with the clarity slider
Until you apply for contest where no photo manipulation is allowed
@@grantmichael7229 see, they took the risk of getting disqualified to do a tiny retouch, because there's no other way around to get that look, now you have more approach to get the look that you want 🧐
I've lived 15 minutes from Longwood for years and have never been there. I'm really interested in this lens, will probably pick it up in December or January if it's in stock then.
Love the lens and have had it a long time. Thank you for this post, I'll be using it a lot more.
Yes, I follow you.
great review...SO entertaining and very informative. As all your videos are! bought one on the strength of it.
Got mine too upgraded from the EF model this new RF rocks bees....
just got mine last week- haven't used it yet- thanks for the review
You've had it a week and haven't used it yet? Wow! You're far more patient than me. Any time I get a new lens, as soon as it's unpacked it's on the camera and I'm looking for a subject to shoot!
impressive windtunnel test results
i agree.
Great review, thanks 👍
One question tough, as you left out the comparison to the EF version.
I have the very old (non L) 100mm macro, and wonder how much of an improvement it would be to switch to the RF version on the R5.
As far as I could read, the newer EF L version has the same image quality as the old one and probably also the same focus performance. Now how does the RF compare to those two ? Is IQ that much better than the old ones that are already great ? Focus speed should probably be faster but about how much ? If it's as fast as the RF 100-500 (which allowed to get a bee and even a dragonfly in flight with eye AF) it would be absolutely amazing. I fear tough that lens may not be designed for action type shots, or is it ?
Good to see Steven getting in some still shots for a change. The next question is how does it do at video? I guess that would be Steven's next job, I hope to see a video about it soon. 👍
Macro lenses tend to have really bad focus breathing so my guess would be this one wouldn't be different. But for macro video shots were your distance is already set it seems it would perform amazing.
Oh Jared I'm so happy you have a video on this lens. I have not watched a review yet but I did purchase it for my product photography. I am really looking to use it more for video but I am interested in your opinion as always. Thank you so much
Spherical Aberration is widely used in the so called "soft focus" lenses. Canon has made two soft focus lenses one an FD 85mm/2.8 the other a EF 135/2.8. The EF 135 version was one of the longest running lenses in Canon SLR history debuting in 1987 and being discounted around 2014 with no revisions or mark II version. Adding the SA on this lens may have been an effort to rekindle the soft focus and adding the new twist of a more harsh and coarse background blur. The older lenses needed to be refocused when engaging the soft focus effect and maybe this is the case when using the SA dial as well. The idea for soft focus at least, is for the plane of focus to retain decent sharpness while out of focus highlights become a dreamy blur. Great for glamor portraits.
Always the best man… thank you for these beatiful videos… 👏👏👏
AWESOME SHOTS!
Yes I pre-ordered it and have played with it and like it a lot. its faster than the EF one too . the SA I have no use for lol as I use it for macro and I like the subject to be sharp and the background / foreground to be soft , so the SA in locked and will stay locked.
"Ive held 10.2 inches before. Don't ask who's it was or what is was. But I've definitely done it." This made me laugh my ass off.... you legend
👀
Great like my 2 Rf Lenses that i have. Great work Canon. Great Video Jared.
Jared is the epitome of consistency and content coverage, sick images as always and thanks a lot for making the review.
Awesome lens review great pictures , well done Canon ! couple with R5 is top notch set up fast focus great image quality and all Made in Japan precision that we want. That Macro resemblance was the little friendly junk collector creature -the Jawas, they drove the massive Sandcrawler where they lived inside it on the planet Tatooine . The resemblance wasn't the Sand people / Tusked Raider. Sand people were the baddies that attacked Luke ,R2D2 and C3PO before Obi-Wan Kenobi saved them .
Hi Jared, Nice video. Is it worth upgrading if you have the EF version? Thanks.
Really nice review...
Does this canon macro lens shift aperture when you move to the closest focusing distance (like nikon)???
I love it with the R5 and using the focus stacking on the R5. Great images, even if I do say so myself.😍
Does anyone know if this lens would be good for 35mm film scanning?
Would you be able to fill the frame completely?
This lens looks really fantastic :o
Just bought this lens and liked what I did so far. But def gotta use it more
Got mine coming tomorrow :)
Thank you for your review. So if you had to choose between the Canon RF 100mm and the Nikon Z 100mm which would it be? With the current Canon discount its version is only $152 more expensive? I'm comparing these on the Canon EOS R5 and the Nikon Z so obviously the system I end up with will factor in but... Other than faster focusing do you prefer the image Quality of one over the other? Not use if the high available magnification of 1.4x is needed but obviously that is a plus for Canon. Interested in your thoughts. Take care
Hey Fro, would you say this lens sharpness is comparable to Sony 90mm 2.8 Macro?
Got the Laowa 2x 100mm macro... not sure if I should upgrade to have the auto-focus
Thank you
Older macro lenses had markings for the magnification obtained. Can you determine the magnification of your images using the RF 100mm macro lens?
Lovely review
Would you use the Z9 again if it delivers the expectations?
The want is strong with this lense oh Fro'd one!
I thought about renting this for a couple college basketball games. I tend to love primes over zooms. Would you suggest it based on the AF speed?
Do you recommend upgrading if you have the EF version?
Wow great video😍❤
I just picked this (RF) up on Amazon new for $999! Hotdog the Caon 100 macro EF was one of my favorite lenses to rent years ago. Should complament my R6 mkii for outdoor photography great. I love taking pictures of plants.
Let me buy that lens from you since its backordered everywhere for who knows how long.
Hi, Thkx for shring this video.
I started photography as an hobby a year ago, and I'm thinking of this lens to complement my current kit of 50mm F1.8 + 100-400 non-Lseries lenses. Despite expensive for a non-professional, it may compensate with its versatility.
Important question at the momment is: in your oppinion, will this 100mm f2.8 IS be enough for handheld night stret photography on a Eos RP ?
So for a newby or a new R^ owner, what should be the first three lenses you should have in your bag? Thanks
Please educate me. Can I use my Pro F lenses on a R5 or R6 or vice a versa? I have a 10 year old EOS 1 Ds Mark II and it's time I get a new camera.
Also can I use the Fro Pack as an added in Corel Photopaint max?
Hi Jared.....if u ever have any used camera stuff...post it to Australia.
Thsnking you
The soft bokeh is almost the same as using a Canon FL lens. I have a 50mm 1.4 FL and the softness is beautiful and difficult to handle. If you like vintage lenses here you have the clean and clear sharp option and old soft version with IS... neat!!
I just got mine after waiting over 2 months for it on backorder. I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet; probably tomorrow. I'm surprised at how light it is, despite being significantly longer than my Sigma 105 F/2.8 macro. I expect I'll be selling the Sigma soon.
Love your channel @John Drummond. Keep up the good work!
@@techguyml thank you!
Damn John, I got mine the day it was released. I Enjoy your content.
@@jaypainespotter Thanks so much! Tropical Storm Henri set my timetable back a tad but I'll be out with it very soon!
Hi Jared! Have you tried the 90 mm macro 2.8 from Sony?? Did you like it, thoughts?
i liked the video of the oneplus, when we will have another like that one?
Good and excellent work
Thanks, Jared!
Besides the increased magnification, and presumably autofocus, are there other reasons one might hasten upgrading to the RF from the EF version on the adapter on the R5?
Image stabilization
@@semahj 1 stop. Traded in for focus shift issues. Not a great deal, IMHO.
I like those Lightroom presets you showed, but I use Photoshop. Are those FroPack presets something I could apply in Adobe Camera Raw before opening the image in Photoshop?
Best bee impersonation EVER!! 😂😂😂😂
but how does the auto focus work on the moving insect ?
I just rented one and I can't figure out wht my images are not sharp. Im using a canon r6. I had better results when using a tripod, but any ideas what settings I could change to create a sharper image?
awesome bro love it
what would e a nice alternative for the Sony if there is anything as good as this ?
Anyone tested the autofocus while shooting Video? I shoot on the CanON C70 and I'm looking for a good prime, thanks!
Respect for the 5th Element reference, sir
Thank you for excellent review👍🙏
I already have rf 28-70 f2L.Which one for best portrait work (best combo) rf 100 f2.8,rf 85 f1.2 or rf 135 f1.8?😢
A very stupid question I know but no one seems to ask the question if I have the ef macro lens on a adapter for the R dose the fact that the lens now has tube between it and the body and if so what is the equivalent tube size ...... Many thanks for supper content
The link to download the raw files is broken, it appears.
Which one you like if you choose image quality and sharpness, the Nikon or the Canon.
Nice review. Wish you would have compared it to the RF 85mm F/2 macro lens. At least in passing.
This will get you much closer and I’ll guess sharper images. The 85 f2 isn’t a true macro as it’s only 1:2 reproduction ratio, don’t know why they call it macro.
Salivating
Love the Bee imitation 🐝. Seriously Fro, I can't believe you would question Canon, now who knows more about lenses 🤔 hahaha. Somehow I feel you have a recording of Steven saying "Yes Sir" that you can just edit into the video when required 👍😎👍
Nice to hear about the focus of the RF lens. The old EF version was terrible at focusing. Almost unusable. Had to use manual focus and focus peaking to make it work.
The old EF is great at auto focus when not shooting macro. I always manual focus when shooting macro.
@@cerec69 Same here. Regardless of lens brand I've used, AF on tight macro was almost unusable. Manual focus all the way for tight macros.
Would love to know how this compares to the RF 85mm macro? Half the price so of course some things will be different but is it still with it as a cheaper alternative?
The 85mm is not a true macro. It's an 85mm lens, with a half-macro feature. It can only reproduce at 1:2 compared to 1:1 and even 1.4:1 with the 100mm true macro lens.
@@cooloox thank you!
Perhaps you should do the sniff test before the wind tunnel test.
I want. Gotta wait. Someday. I’ll use this to replace my EF L 100mm for artifact photos in my lab. Wonder if it will be compatible with my macro ring light flash. Suspect it will be…
What do you think about R7 with RF 100mm?
