Thanks for the kind words! 👊 I’ve had the 15-35 f2.8 for a while as well, but ended up selling it and keeping the 14-35. For my use cases, F4 was good enough for the wide angle shots. And it’s just so nice and compact! I also have the 24-70 2.8 and 70-200 2.8 so I have most of the range covered when I need a wider aperture! One lens I’m eagerly waiting for is the rumored RF 35mm f1.4 L. Hopefully it will release next month!

@coppensbram you know, it's got me thinking at wide angle ranges if f4 vs f2.8 is really that visible on photos viewed on the phone. I am currently using the prosumer grade 16mm and 28mm for walk around and it's doing quite well for my style of shooting, but I've been eyeing the 15 35. I hope canon releases a 35mm 1.2 or 1.4, would be a nice one, but I'm not good at the 35mm range, so I just picked up a 50mm 1.2 yesterday and so far so good 1 day in, first world problems. Great video

@RWAquariumPages I guess it depends on how often you shoot wide, and in low light. The 15-35 is a fantastic lens though 😃 And yes, the 50 1.2 is also on my wishlist. How are you liking it?

@coppensbram honestly, I never shoot wide to be honest, that's why if I were to get one the f4 might be a better fit. I have the 85 1.2 and it's a wider version snd lighter. Nice and sharp, bokeh is nice but on web size Noone would notice the difference between the 1.8 and 1.2 to be honest, but it makes me happy so thats all that counts. 50mm for my style is used more range than wide or 85mm, but every image out of the 85mm length is magical

@RWAquariumPages yes in that case, I can highly recommend the 14-35. F4 is still really nice, definitely can get nice bokeh and separation if you know how to use the wider focal lengths (just get in close and create distance between subject and background). And I can’t stress enough how compact and portable the lens is 😎 For the longer focal lengths I typically use the 70-200 2.8. But you’re totally right - do you even see the difference between f1.8 and f1.2 without pixel peeping on high res monitors? 🤷🏻‍♂️ I mean sure, for extreme low light, yes, it probably makes a difference. I only have 1 prime on the RF mount at the moment, the nifty fifty 1.8. I rarely shoot at wider aperture than 2.8 anyway. However, for my A-roll shots in these KZread videos, I’d love to have a bit more background blur. My space is extremely tight so I could use that 35mm 1.4 or 1.2 once it releases hehe!

Great video. Although I already have the RF 16mm and RF 35mm 1.8 and the RF 24-105 F4, I am considering purchasing the RF 14-35 F4 for landscape photography and video.

All great lenses! I really love the 24-105 as well - very versatile lens 👍 I was actually considering the 35mm 1.8 as well, but decided to wait and see the infamous RF 35mm f1.4L - hopefully Canon announces it soon 😎 Anyway - highly recommend the 14-35! You won’t regret it!

Do you have a video or comments using an ef lens with adapter on the r8?

@coppensbram

Not on the R8 - I only use RF lenses on it. I did have the Sigma 18-35 connected to my R7 via the adapter though, there’s a video on my channel :-)

what is the best lens for portraits?

@coppensbram

Ай бұрын

Personally, I prefer zoom lenses. My go-to lens for portraits is the RF 70-200 f2.8. It’s expensive, but probably one of the best lenses Canon has ever made. If you’re more into primes, I’d suggest the RF 85mm f1.2. If you want cheaper, take a look at RF 85 f2. Hope this helps! 😃

What did you use to film this video?

@coppensbram

Canon R6 mark II and RF24-70 2.8 for the A-roll. For the B-roll and samples R8 and RF 14-35 4 (except when filming the actual lens hehe)
