@@JustinMyersPhoto walk around lens mainly! Needed less of a reason not to bring my camera places and wanted a new focal length. Went with 16mm RF and it’s beautiful on my RP.
Hi mate, thanks for the work! Really help the most of us.. btw the image stabilisation from the lenses they have IS, it's also applying in the photos we take or only for videos? Anyway if you're IS is ON than you lose picture quality, sharpness. am i right?
Hi Justin, nice video as always...! Greetings from Jakarta. May I know your views as I want to switch my RF 35mm lens into Tamron 17-35mm F2.8-4, as I think the Tamron lens suit the focal length I need (from ultra wide to medium wide). By having the Tamron 17-35mm, I can skip the RF 16mm, also I wilk be able to sell my RF 35mm as no point having two lenses with 35mm FL. Other lens that I currently have is RF 85mm F/2. Pls share your thoughts! Thanks.
I don’t have any experience with that specific Tamron lens. It depends on whether you prefer two separate prime lenses or the one zoom lens and if you will miss the larger aperture
New subscriber, as you thoroughly explain things 👍 apologies for long clarification following…I have replaced my 80D with the Canon R and currently using my old EF lens Tokina 11-16 f2.8, efs 24 pancake & Sigma 70-200 2.8 APO. I’m a hiking adventure TH-camr now using GoPro 7 & iPhone 11 but am looking to improve cinematic & low light footage by using my Canon R. So, I require a light & compact lens to do hand held walk talk video, handheld & tripod campsite activity and bush scenes & gear photography hence looking at the rf 35mm (seems perfect except tight for walking talking footage, here my 16mm works ok with digital movie enabled though). Only want to carry one lens and GoPro for wet conditions so…what would your expert advise be please? 🙏
So, the 35mm on the R will be very similar to what the 24mm looks like on the 80D. So if that wasn’t wide enough for you, the 35mm probably won’t be wide enough. I do think the RF 16mm is actually great for vlogging, just be aware of shakes, but when you’re shooting that wide, a little bit of shakiness isn’t as noticeable. The R doesn’t haven’t a sensor IBIS system, so the “wobbles” isn’t something to worry about for your setup
I’ve been using an old EF 16-35 f/2.8L II on my EOS R. Yeah, the zoom is convenient, but the image quality isn’t all that great especially wide open. I’m tempted to ditch it and get these two bookends. A lot of advantages in that 35 prime, and the 16 looks good enough for when I need it.
I definitely think the 16mm would be your best bet for vlogging. If you have a huge budget, the RF 14-35mm would probably be a great option as well, but the 16mm is going to be the best for the price range
@@JustinMyersPhoto thank you! I have the m50 and I’m just not seeing a big diff in quality or I just don’t know how to work my new camera lol. Thinking of returning it and just keeping my m50 mark ii.
@@WhatsUpWithB the sensor in the R10 would be pretty similar to the sensor in the M50 Mark II, so quality between the two cameras would probably be very similar. The potential advantage to the R10 would be having the ability to use RF lenses. The L series RF lenses are really great, but really expensive. So, if you’re not wanting to use those lenses, they’re probably isn’t much advantage of the R10 over the M50 Mark II
@@JustinMyersPhoto well thank you so much! That really sucks because the people in Best Buy made it seem like it was such a better camera. I wanted the 4k and the 120fps and the ability to lock the camera mode but I will be returning it first thing Monday morning.
@@WhatsUpWithB I mean, you do get those extra features since it is a newer camera. I do think it’s a good camera, but if the increase in resolution to 4K and slower footage for slow motion isn’t worth it to you. It’s all about getting the gear that fits your needs
Well, keep in mind that you won’t be able to use the full sensor on full frame mirrorless cameras with the 24mm lens because it is an EF-S lens. What camera are you shooting with?
@@patflores2976 EF-S lenses are built for APS-C sensor cameras, which means the lens projects an image that is smaller than the size of a full frame camera like the RP. The adapter doesn’t affect the lens, per se, but because the lens doesn’t cover the entire sensor, the camera automatically switches to only using an APS-C sized portion of the sensor. With the RP, that means the photos are only going to be somewhere around 10 MP, because the lens only covers the pixels that are in the center portion of the sensor. When shooting video, the lens still only covers the center portion, so noise may be more prominent at higher ISO values. With the RP, you will also lose access to certain video modes when using EF-S lenses, like 1080 60p.
@Justin Myers thank you so much for taking the time to not only respond but to also clarify, much appreciated...with that kind of consideration I will definitely subscribe
I bought the 16mm as a pre-order, sight unseen. I love UWA photography, and for video it's very handy. But for photos I shoot this lens in jpeg only. When there is a correction profile available that will change, but I did a few RAW images and pulled my hair out trying to correct the corners. I love the lens anyway, but if I'm going to take serious wide (raw) photos my 17-40 f4 is always the one and it works like a (bigger) native lens. The shortcomings of this lens (16) are manageable, and will be less of a problem when the profile becomes available. I really like the 16, it really makes my RP easy to take along. I'm not going to rush out to buy the RF 35, but only because I already have the EF 35 f2. I will eventually get it for it's size advantages. What I really want is a 28mm at f2.0 or even f2.8. I currently adapt my ancient 28 f2.8 (no IS, the original lens version from the film days) but I would like it for the same size reasons. Thanks for a nice video!
Just a heads up: (I have been traveling this week and haven’t been able to check myself yet) several people have said that lens corrections for the 16mm came to the Adobe suite this week
It really depends on what you shoot, how you shoot, and how you might want to shoot, as well as what other lenses you already have. They are very similar, the 50mm is “zoomed in” a little bit in terms of the field of view. What type of photography and/or video do you typically shoot?
@@JustinMyersPhoto Hi, thanks for your reply, I mainly shoot family stuff. Mainly photos of our kids out and about and lil bit of macro. I have rf 100mm, rf 85mm f2 and I bought the 35mm today. Just saw your what’s in my bag video and you mention you hardly use the 50mm. I think now I may skip the 50mm and get the 16mm. Thanks again
@@TayouTroy …if you shoot family stuff and alike, I’d wonder why you’d look for a 16mm instead of a 50mm as this is the most versatile size when it comes to people and street applications whereas the 16mm is primarily a vlogging and landscape lense… strange🤔
@@fragu123 This Could be true, however, I sometimes have issues getting 6 people in the frame at times, I was thinking the 16mm wide would be a good choice.
No, these will only fit Canon RF mount cameras. For Sony, you would need to look for something for the E mount. For an ultra wide angle, you could look at something like the Samyang 12mm in a similar price point: amzn.to/3YTsTAF
The corrections are actually available in Lightroom and other editing platforms as well now. They were, thankfully, released shortly after this video was published
The 35mm may be hard to vlog with because of the tighter focal length. I personally think the 16mm is the best RF vlogging option, especially for the price. What turned you away from it though?
@@Totte.Lundgren that’s not the lens though, that’s how IBIS works with ultra wide focal lengths. Any lens that wide will do the same, including the RF 15-35mm when zoomed out wider
@@JustinMyersPhoto ye I know. Tho with the 15-35 I got a choice 😁 So for now, 35mm 1.8 sounds like a better option as I do way more filming tutorials than I do walking around vlogs.
I don’t think so. For an ultra wide at this price point, it’s actually pretty solid. And interesting because there really isn’t much else to compare it to as far as a full frame 16mm lens at this price point
I swear there is no video idea this man doesn’t have. Thinks of everything I could ever need.
What? Man, that’s awesome, very kind of you!
