Hi Ramsay
Wassup dude
“1st”
Sup, Pete?
Sup, Pete?
50mm is one of my faves for photography especially portraits 😍 1.2 is the gear! Digging the hat!
When other TH-camrs respond, I always feel like it’s simply for engagement and to hopefully drive traffic to their channel.
When you guys comment, I genuinely feel that you’re actually commenting because you enjoy the content and are just down to earth, scrolling TH-cam sometimes like the rest of us 🤷🏽♂️
35mm is my favorite because it's the only way for affordable cameras (ie Sony a6000) to achieve a full-frame 50mm focal length as praised in this video.
I think the majority of Peter's 5 million followers do not use a full frame camera so it'd be great if he could mention about this. Awesome video tho! 👍🏼
@@kendrewreviews Agreed many crop sensor user buy a nifty fifty assuming its true 50mm focal length.
You can’t blink. Great 👍🏻
50 is good lens for sure especially for street photography for portrait try the 85 or 70-200 for high fashion 35mm
Cowboy Pete vs Pirate Pete… this is what the people want!!!
This battle would be legendary!
Nah. The flat brim isn't cowboy - he's "Hipster Rockstar Pete."
Edit:
Rockstar Pete needs a Lenny Kravitz scarf. But I think we do need a Cowboy Pete in a Canadian Tuxedo.
Cowboy Pete gunslinging with his nifty fifty. And Pirate Pete blade swinging his knives.
Would pay chonggas to watch this movie.
Can’t forget Square Space Pete in there too!
Im so glad you includee those ’deleted scenes’ at the end. Its good to know even the best can mess up sometimes and still need to take notes!
I love the ending with all the retakes... reminds me that Peter is a human and messes up like the rest of us ❤️
Canon: Hey Pete, the 50mm is the only RF lens that's in stock and not back-ordered.
Peter: Hold my coffee.
Nah. Peter would have instant regret. He would come back for his coffee and go get his lens anyway 😉
Can I re-tweet this comment? Lol
@@joaquinnolasco5210 by all

HAHAHAHAH not in Canada. I'm waiting for mine.
ALMOST 100 LIKES
I would Imagine Canon emailed Peter... "Manny just did a Sony 50 1.2 video, we need you to push this out now"
😆 no kidding. Manny did a video 2 days ago about Sony 50 1.2. Hmmmmm
Love the ha, it has the Pirate Pete stylet! 😎
The subtle transitions in this are the best thing I’ve seen in like a week
Me starting this video: "WTF IS PETER WEARING HE LOOKS SO DUMB"
Me at the end of the video: "I really want one of those hats...I feel like it would make me more of a man."
Yeah I thought the same thing. It’s because the underside of the hat is ugly and he wears it a little too high
Totally agree. The RF 50 1.8 is quite phenomenal too, given its price!

I've pretty much JUST been carrying my sony 50mm f/1.2 G Master since buying it in April. Absolutely insane for photos. Absolutely no hunting on it for video either 😍
Lol didn't expect to see you here 😁
FOUR af linear motors! I love mine too!
I'm enjoying mine also. The problem with it is that I now hope Sony releases an 85 f/1.2 GM. 😁
@@pompobresciani9582 isn’t it SICK
@@Martin-nu6ym me too!!!
it seems like many well known youtube photographers really prefer the 35mm for it's versatility in environmental shots. But I personally find the 50mm to have a timeless real to life feeling. Could you one day do a 50mm lens environmental photo shoot tutorial? things you look for in composing with a 50mm? that would be fantastic!
Few years ago Peter sold a 50mm 1.2 lens to buy a 70-200mm lens. And now we're here..
whatever lens he uses will always be the BEST lens ever.
I love my 50. I love my hat.
while I use the old 50 mm 1,2 L
Love the hat!
Love it when you put bloopers at the end of a video, reminds me nobody is perfect.
BAM! Happy you kept the bloopers in at the end. Good to know you 'fail' at doing a one taker. Since all of us - the beginner TH-camrs - struggle with this and I personally get demotivated when I have that, haha.
Hey boss, can you link my to the proper ND filter you have for RF lens? I plan on buying R5 with 15-35 but I need a good ND, for vlogging in the sun!
PolarPro PMVND is the king and is what he uses. Probably because it has his name on it lol😂 they’re pricey but the quality is there for sure
@@FastApertures pretty pricey but definitely top tier glass.
If you are recording with the R5+CLOG go with PMVND 6-9 stops
Pete has is own Filters partnered with Polar Pro
Heliopan
Every lens is the only lens most people need in their camera bags 😂
Yes 😂😂😂
Did’nt he say the same about the 100 Macro 🤣
@@stuartoblack7129 the same about 85mm
maaaannnn your videos are so well made i still havent gotten over it and i’ve known about the channel for 2 years now! keep up the great work helped me learn a loooott
I love the bloopers, other TH-camrs know exactly how this goes 😂🤣 thank the video gods for a sweet little thing called editing!
When Pete is about to wrap up and there still is 1.5 min left… You know them bloopers are coming 😂🤘
You look like Jonny Deppthoffield in that hat. Great work Peter!
Love the bloopers at the end
Keep up the good work, I really like your videos!
50mm is such a good focal length. For years I've shot with every range of Sigma primes, and often when on a shoot I'll rotate through the 35, 50, and 85. When I pull it all into lightroom I always find myself keeping mostly shots captured at 50mm.
I have the EF-mount 50mm f/1.8 and it's been my go-to lens for just about everything. I think 50mm is definitely the perfect prime. Super versatile!
You use it in a full frame camera?
Thank you for the info!
That hat looks so great on you. Nice detalis!
Nice vid! Classic Peter. May you never run out of idea's and inspiration!!
Peter looking like he’s a burgeoning Nashville country artist
lol that's what also had in mind 😅
Exactly!
If this isn't the truth lol! Everyone down here wears a hat.
No self-respecting country musician would wear that hat.
Love, love, LOVE the 50mm length, especially for doing what I do. It gives you such a nice balance between compression and realism, plus there are so many options with very nice shallow depth of field. (And I'm shooting on a GH5 with a Metabones Ultra!) Love it, and classic PM B roll for reference. What could be better than that?! :-)
Wow watching after a long tym the whole vibe is changed and I love it!😍
The vibe the new hat gives……is FIRE!!!!!!!!! 👌🏾
Being a Sony user, I plan to get the 50 f1.2 GM later this year. Always loved the 50mm 1.8s I have used in the past. Looking forward to getting the 50 1.2
You are like a godfather to the photographer community! Thanks for inspiring us throughout :)
Your cinematography and compositions are so inspiring and they're the reason I keep checking out the channel. The hat look is fresh too hahahah

The outtakes had me!!!
Never been this early to a video, I have entered an elite class
Same lol
Fr!
Same here
Pete, stop making things look so good!
My bank account will hate me 😂
Anyone can do a bloopers reel...BUT only Pete can do a bloopers reel and look damn good at the same time. Now that's talent! The hat is slick. :)
I laughed so hard!!!!! The first second of the video and you lost me!!! The hat had the end of me!!! I clearly wasn't ready!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
1% of your audience can afford this lens. Period.
‘t
picked the 24-70 RF f/2.8 and couldn’t afford the 50 mm after that :,(
@@anotherappleperson same here, joined the RF 24-70 f/2.8 club! However, need a super low light prime lens so badly!
@@jurajpadych it’s definitely a great all around lens though!
Only way i can afford any new lenses is buying old film lenses from throft stores and buying an adapter for my mirrorless
The hat 😂😂
Pete, soooooo glad you made this video. I’ve only been shooting for 5 years, but no matter what I am shooting (photo or video), I keep coming back to my 50mm. It’s just, well, what I need! 👌✌️
Peter, you're my hero. Incredible channel, great content, super professional, fantastic content and concepts. Bravo, bravo!!
So we're literally just not gonna talk about them setting the hat on fire?
Yeah that was unexpected af😅
😂😂😂 🎩 on 🔥
Hat guys: ”ok so now we’re going to set the entire hat on fire, you got your camera Pete?”
Pete: 😱🤤🤤🤤📸
Its natural skin
I'd imagine it's got a practical use, like removing the excess fibers or something to do with the finish
Bought an APS-C Kit with my Sony A6000 and two kit lenses.
First lens I bought: 35mm F1.8 to get the same FOV as the 50mm Full Frame.
Never looked back.
80% of my shots - Landscape, Vacation, Portaits are done by that lens. Don't care about ultrawide 12mm (Have it but rarely use it).
35mm on Crop Sensor
50mm on Full Frame.
Best decision ever!
Hey mate. When I will buy my first camera it will be from sony. Sony is the best. ❤️
The pirate transformation is almost complete. Love this.
Whole fit clean ! Hat is the best part
Pete: Something you didn't mention...
50mm is often described as the best focal length/FOV that feels most similar to the human eye. This is for full frame sensors. For a 3/4 sensor, 35mm is recommended for a natural human eye look.
I myself have the canon 32mm 1.4 instead of the 50mm with an adapter. Working on APSC and its great !
Thank you for mentioning sensor size. All the qualities and characteristics he mentioned are relative to the sensor size. In his case a full frame sensor, but the beginners he referenced may be less able to deduce that from the video.
@@graydivision 100% yes. Frankly I'm somewhat disappointed Pete failed to mention this. I hope he at least sees this and puts it in the video description or something.
@@MarinaMercy021 Are you using a Sony APSC? So is it a manual lens or you got a speed booster EF adapter?
@@euphoricmonk No, I have the Canon M50, and the 32mm is a native lense EF-M
Once I got the RF 50mm 1.2 I stopped using all my other lenses other than my 100mm macro (for macro!) and my Tamron 35mm 1.4, both also stunning lenses.
I have learned so much since watching your videos and have been so inspired to up my TH-cam Game. I love how efficient you are with content. You are a huge inspiration. THANKS.
Why is this so good. Great video yet again.
Damn... all the wedding photographers now have a new hat to buy.
We waited for "The bucket shot" we can wait for the F100 😂
Pete, your always killing it. 😊
I like that Film Grain. It's like seasoning to a photo
He’s evolved to Cowboy Pirate. YeeYargh.
Oh yay thats cool i might get that
Looks at price😳
Love this work of art!!!!!!
mine just arrived with the r6, I'm so happy you made this video! its a crazy , CRAZY lens!
The 50mm is the one lens that unfortunately "never" fits for my motives. 😂
It's too narrow if you need to get a wide shot in a room or a group of people and it's too wide for a fairly detailed portrait, if you can't move closer than 6 feet / 2 meters.
But I'm talking about documentary wedding photography.
For almost everything else it's indeed a great lens. 😉
I never get tired of this lens, the possibilities are endless with a 50mm
It was the only lens you needed for most photography back in the days of film and we’ve come full circle. My 1.2 50mm is my goto lens as well.
Great hat by the way and great video story as always!
Hell back in the film days you couldn't afford one either. They were so overpriced compared to an f1.4 it was outlandish. In fact you could have bought a slightly used VW Bug for the price of a Canon 1.2L glass in the 70's
Dude you’re awesome. Love this
don't forget to take into account your camera body's crop factor everyone 😊 ...or you can just get a 35mm, 50mm and 85mm ...then you'll be covered no matter what haha
Same. Lol I have the canon R6. And I use my 35 50 and my 85 they are always in my camera bag
@@lalafuentes7392 can't go wrong with that combo! I'm the same but with Nikon and a few Sigma Art lenses
True. As long as people don’t forget that a 35 on a crop is still a 35. just cropped out image but same look
Mistake at 6:05?? I think you titled the RF 50mm 1.8 wrong 😅Love the video and this lens!
The outtakes are me when I'm doing pre-recorded stuff for work. I think I do like 20 takes before I'm happy with anything hahaha
Love the Peter with the Hat look 🤟🏾🤟🏾
Peter McKinnon: "Gear doesn't matter"
Also Peter McKinnon: "Wooooo dude check out this new lens!!!!"
P.S. just joking with you lol. Also I love the hat btw, you pull it off well.
One doesn't have anything to do with the other. hahah I can still have my thoughts on gear and still like a lens :)
@@PeterMcKinnon cool hat tho hahaa
@@PeterMcKinnon buying gear in the hopes that it will make up for lack of talent or spark creativity that’s not the same as buying an expensive piece of gear because it has a unique perspective or outperforms it’s competition in a specific arena, amirite?
What's up everyone ❤
Nalla sugam, ninga?
Hat's badass, love Coup De Tete!
Very cool colour and depth with the 50mm!
Peter PLEASE make sure to mention 50mm EQUIVALENT lens or you're gonna spark a 50mm lens trend again ...
On APS-C it's obviously 35mm (33.3 to be technically correct). 50mm / Crop-Factor.
On Sony it's 1.5 times crop so 50 / 1.5 = ~35mm
For Micro Four Thirds you need to calculater accordingly.
For Canon APS-C it's 1.6 times crop.
@@Black3ternity I know that but most new guys who come across this video don't ...
6:05 FINALLY found a mistake in one of your clips. Not a hater, you were just doing everything toooo damn perfect. Keep it up Pete, love ya!
haha I was just about to comment that
Loving the hat!!!
Peter! Story time. The day I decided I needed to take photography seriously I did research into what I liked. I stumbled across YOUR old video on the nifty fifty. Realized it could get SO MUCH of what I wanted. Found a 1.4 for the price of a 1.8 and THAT VERY WEEK I got my first paid gig doing bts for a photo studio and ALLLLL I used for like 2 years was almost strictly the 50mm. I'm still working my way to pro, but thanks for putting me on the path. It's been a wild ride.
Just been 2 minutes and I'm here already and I'm one of the 73 people who liked this video first 💯💯💯😍😍😍
Give this man a strat and he'll look like Stevie Ray Vaughan, really sick hat!!🔥🔥
Such an old-timey, western feel to this video, loved it!!
I have this lens and I agree. Fantastic piece of kit.
Me personally, not a fan of grain or noise. Like with some Netflix shows *cough cough* I found the noise/grain VERY distracting especially when It’s on a 4K and 4K is supposed to be crystal clear and the image is purposely not clear, it’s triggering for me 🤣
Sometimes it bothers me - sometimes it doesn't - so I feel yah. What does bother me with some Netflix show is how they've decided to shoot them at like f/ 1.2 or f/1.4 - like with extreme bokeh -
That hat is gorgeous, damn! Absolutely amazing!!!
Love the hat Pete!
I am betting 1000$ that RF 35mm f/1.2 is coming by the end of the year.
I'd love a 35mm f1.4 with stabilization and as much magnification as possible.
(basically RF 35mm f1.8 but lets in more light and is built for a pro (which includes weather-sealing, faster and quieter focusing motors, even sharper glass, etc.)).
Why not f1.2? Well, f1.4 would be cheaper, smaller, lighter and doesn't sacrifice that much compared with f1.2.
And none of the f1.2 lenses have image stabilization built-in unfortunately. This is especially important for video!
Probably the most relatable outtakes as a vlogger EVER
Awesome hat! Reminds me of the hat my old Scout Master used to wear on hikes.
Thanks for talking about the focusing noise!
I love your vids Man!
Love this Lens 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dude that hat looks sick i love it. Great video like always ur the master and thanks 🙏 for the honesty on when to by your first camera lens it’s always been a difficult decision for me.
YESSSSS This is your look🙌🏾😎🥰 Love this look on you Pete🥰

Rewatched that flame part so many times
Oh dang, Pete joining the hat gang. Love it.
Amazing lens! If you don't have the budget (like myself) the bokeh on the 1.8 are also beautiful. Generally 50mm has a really nice effect due to the fact that it's about the focal length of the human eye.
Thank you for this review. It helped me pick the right choice. Luv ur vids!!!!!

I just finally bought this lens and I couldn’t be more excited to use it!
Very helpful and informative, there so much to learn, one step at a time
One prime lens and the only lens you need in your camera bag!? Superrrrr bold statement I love it
Great video Pete, I used this lens with the R6 for my Sons birthday and took some banger photos, I also used it for a few things while I had it in rental, the great part was slapping that 77mm PM VND edition 2 on the front at high noon 🕛 and keeping that aperture wide open.
