Chilled RF 85mm f2 POV Photography in London Streets
This is a RF 85mm f2 POV street photography video in London. This was my first time using the RF 85mm with the Canon R6 and I think you can tell how hyped I was about the photos I got.

This 85mm POV photography video in London is definitely one of my favourite street photography videos I've done. It's pretty obvious I had so much fun using the Canon R6 combined with the RF 85mm f2.
Which camera body and lens combination should I test out next for some street photography? Which city would you like me to visit for a POV street photography video next? Leave your comments below.

Great shots! Did you use any lens filter when you took these shots?
Nice video
You may have just convinced me to pick up this lens.
Loving the video as always :). . You mentioned cropping your image at one point, are many of the images you post during the videos cropped? Im asking as I’m still new to photography and still getting used to focal length with different lenses. Could you show some uncropped/cropped comparisons in a video, just so I can see the difference in the scenes and photos taken. Im using a crop sensor camera, so this will help me judge the distance to shoot at and what lens would be equivalent. You’ve mentioned in previous videos that you travel to London to take the phots, how far (distance) do you travel? Thanks and once again Im loving what your doing., keep it up :)
Great video! Wanted to ask you, would you choose this over the EF 85 mm F1.8?
Great video as always. I’m sure I spotted you near the lloyds building on Saturday, taking some look up shots and a shot of a well dressed gent. If it was you next time I might say hello I didn’t want to interrupt you.

What is your focusing strategy when using this lens? Zone focusing? I noticed there aren't any scales outside of the focusing limiter so I;m curious how you get tack sharp images even when shooting at f2.0

Great video, thanks. I also watched your video with the Viltrok 85mm 1.8 lens. Between the Viltrox 1.8 and the Canon 2.0, which do you prefer and recommend? Im looking into getting an 85mm and not sure which of the two i should go with. Thanks!!!

I think the canon is quicker to focus. But honestly it makes no noticeable difference in terms of image quality.

@@MikeChudley What about the Samyang (Rokinon)? How would those two compare for street portraits? Which is better to focus?
I live in Vegas and every time I go downtown for some street photography. Every soul on the planet looks at me when I take their photo. I’ll even hide and they still find the camera
what do you think about the samyang RF 85 1.4?
Hi Mike. You shootings with a Canon R6 or mk II ? Nice images,..😊
Watched video that you made with Viltrox. What lens would you recommend more? Canon or Viltrox? Viltrox is still almost half the price

Is 35 mm good for Street photography, because I have the 85mm from sigma , but it's the older one and it's really heavy to carry around all day.
What camera are you using to film the video? A GoPro?

I am debating between the Canon 85 mm f/2 and the Viltrox 85 mm f/1.8 for street photography with my Canon R6. I have read that the Canon 85 mm f/2 has slow autofocus that hunts. Did you experience this at all? Would you recommend the Canon 85 mm f/2 for street photography? What about the Viltrox? Thanks a lot! Great video.
@MikeChudley

The canon 85mm f2 was quicker and easier to focus in my opinion. The Viltrox is great, but my my experience it does hunt around a little bit. Not terribly though. So it's still a great bit of kit but it depends on your budget. I have just released a new video sharing my thoughts on the 85mm for street photography, I think you will find it interesting.
What picture style you use in camera ?
for street photography what option to buy u recommend? 35mm 1.8 stm vs 85mm f2 for one canon r6?? now have ef 50mm 1.8 usm with adapter and rf 24-105 l4 thank u bro

una preguanta,, el 85mm f2 macro va muy lento en el enfoue de video ¿es normal? tarda bastante en enfocar..

Lots of portrait orientated shots; do you think this is were are slowly growing accustomed to portrait due to phones and iPads?
sigma 1.4 or this?
Turn off the auto focus beep.
