My favorite is 28mm pancake. Yes, it’s the boring smartphone focus length but my SOOC photos from my RF 28mm easily stand out in my iPhone library- micro-contrast and gradation in color depth and focus
Totally agree, I’m on a trip now and have shot very little on my phone and almost 1,400 photos on my R6. There is a look you get from bigger sensors and better glass that you just don’t get with phones 😊
This is a great lens for 30 megapixel or less cameras but from what I understand, the resolving inadequacies show through once you pair it with a higher megapixel R5.
This is good information to know! I have only tested it on my R6, but could see how an R5 might resolve more of the imperfections in the glass. Thank you for the insight!!
I love your videos. I have the same Canon R6 and RF35mm F1.8, but I am not able to get the same dynamic range as your video. Could you make a video to show how your camera setting and color grading for videos? Thank you very much.
When I shot Nikon I picked up a 35mm for my D7000 and absolutely loved having an APSC Nifty Fifty. I think you are going to love this lens and it’s great to build out lenses that work both with APSC and full frame for the future!
In most of your videos you mention using the lenses on FF cameras. What prime lens would you recomend for a crop canon camera? I'm loking for a prime with good quality and large aperture to go with my kit 18-150 lens. I 'm not sure of the 50mm fits because it would be around 80mm in a crop and it may be too long. What do you say?
When I use to shoot a lot with cropped sensor cameras I often found 50mm to be a touch too tight. I bought a 35mm f/1.8 and loved it for portrait work and shot all of the time with it. I have been shooting more and more with the 35mm on full frame and might enjoy this focal range even more than 50mm, so I would recommend checking out the RF 24mm f/1.8 or if that is too expensive, the RF28mm f/2.8 can be found for under $300. Also something to look at is Sigma recently announced that they will be producing RF lenses for July, they will be 16mm, 23mm, 30mm, 56mm all at f/1.4 so it might be worth waiting to see how those perform!
@@UrielG1984 did you go with the 35mm? I also have the r7 with 18-150 kit and went with the 24mm f1.8 since that will be around 35mm on APSC. Wondering if the 35mm f1.8 would be better!
@@nicholasbarszcz1100 Hi. No, i have thr 18-150 for now. I will use it at different focal lengths and try to find which one prime i should choose. Good luck!
That’s still a good focal length to have!! When I first bought my R6, the only lens I had for months was a 50mm. Lenses also generally outlast camera bodies, so having the 35mm, if you upgrade down the line to an R8, RP, or similar FF body it will pair nicely with them!
@@JasonPischke true in principal, but the optics are not the same as having a 50mm. That is - the actual 50mm on the R50 is horribly wide, but has the same creamy bokeh as it does on a full frame. The 35mm on the other hand, does not. It produces a lifeless two-dimensional/flat image on the R50. Updating the camera is the answer, you’re on the money there 👍🏻👌🏻
@@wolfiemedia The difference you are referring to is that a 50mm lens on a crop sensor camera (1.6x) is acting like a 80mm full frame equivalent and so the compression and background separation is going to be more pronounced. As you go up in focal length you get more defined separation between subject and background, as you go wider, that separation gets less noticeable. Crop sensor camera's also by nature capture less light than full frame. A f/2.8 lens on a full frame camera will resolve more like a f/4 on a crop sensor camera and so this also can contribute to that flatter feel you are noticing with your images.
Great video! Love the RF 35mm 1.8!
Thank you for watching! It’s has been one of my favorite lenses to shoot with for a little while!

Great video! Thanks for all the info and the review.
Appreciate that!! It has been one of my favorite lenses to review and use!
Nice take on the 35mm! Loving the channel and nice content. 📷
Thanks for watching!! Hopefully it helps to make a decision between the RF 35mm and RF 24mm!

Absolutely, I don’t think I have ever put together a full, shoot to edit to color grade video, thanks for that!!
Looking forward to receiving mine (it's on it's way) to be paired-up with my Canon EOS R7 to perform the role of a "nifty fifty".

Sadly I bought this 35mm for my R50 so I have a pretty rubbish 56mm wide lens 👎🏻
