    Very cool!! Looking forward to more third party RF lenses. I have been picking up more event gigs and thought about putting a smaller 85 on my R6 and using the RF 35 1.8 for my R as a dual camera photo setup. This sounds like a useful alternative to the RF 85 2.0

Also I wish you could do a VS video with this lens vs the 85mm f1.4 Samyang if you can get your hands on that lens for a video review. Love your videos and can't wait to see more videos about this lens, as I am looking for a good 85mm lens.

    "how I do things on this channel, won't be shooting charts, or nitty gritty details, but real world shots..." Oh my god.. what a breath of fresh air.. 80% of the reviewers out there are more like yeah I spent $1,000 on a NIkon/Canon/Sony lens and I'm super professional, the Yongnuo takes sharp pictures but you if you want better AF you need to spend monday but NO RAWS AND PICTURES TO COMPARE!!! (would hit subscribe but I already on another video // also already bought this lens just based on the DXO rating but love seeing you actually using it!)

    Hi Mitch, it would be really helpful if you can advice me on something 🥰 I work for a company and i have a 35mm canon rf lens. I was thinking of getting yongnuo 85 rf 1.8 because of your review, you said that it can replace most low and mid range lenses for that price range. You uploaded a video after two weeks use, so after using it for a while now do you think it can be used professionaly? Did you run more tests? A fan 🥰

    So, here's a question that's probably silly but I'm curious - since you shoot quite a bit in the vertical orientation, why not use a battery grip (apart from the added weight of course)? Doesn't it get uncomfortable after a while to shoot with your arm away from your body?

Canon refuses to open the R mount to 3rd party companies, forcing us into buying absurdly priced RF glass. A big reason I picked up an a7III. Tons of great lens options on Sony’s E mount. If Canon doesn’t open up the mount, and soon,, I’ll sell my R6 and go full in on Sony.

    Thanks but I was disappointed to see no portraits. I’m not sure about this lens. Christopher Frost showed how blurry and downright terrible this lens is when stopped down. Plus, after Canon forcing Samyang out and making them abandon their two RF lenses, I’m not sure I can trust 3rd party companies due to Canons ridiculous greed. Pretty disgusted with Canon and the R mount right now. Already bought an a7III and might go full Sony soon.
