Hey there, I have a choice between the RF 50mm f/1.8 Lens and the RF24-105mm f4-7.1 for my Canon EOS RP. I wanna use this camera for shooting music videos for my friend. Which lens would be better for music video purposes?
honestly, when I shoot I bring a 50mm and a 24-105mm with me. Its just that the dynamic range of a 24-105mm can't compare to a 50mm even though it is a nifty fifty, but sometimes I just want to do more with my 24-105mm.. maybe I just need to utilize it better. been wanting to get my hands on an 85mm but having both is sufficient enough anyways I like your video keep it up! big fan
Having both is best of both worlds. If you are doing journalism or portrait work the 85mm is really sweet but like you I try to limit all the stuff I have. It feels great to go back to the basics one lens pick and go shoot.
Thank you for this video. Just subscribed. I use a 24-105 as of now. I use this for landscapes, garden flowers, and portraits… few doubts if that is okay. 1. Should I also buy a 50mm 1.2? 2. Will it help a good idea to buy it? 3. Is the image quality difference significant? 4. I use Rf 100-500 for wildlife photography. Can 50mm be used for any close range wildlife photography?
I honestly see no purpose for a 50mm 1.2 for wildlife. I’m no experienced wildlife photographer but active moving subjects is probably better suited with a 24-70 2.8 or stick with your 24-205 f4. The 2.8 will focus faster but the 50mm 1.2 I see has no purpose for what you wanna shoot for portraits yes but not so much wildlife. For close ups, I’d suggest adding a macro. The RF 50mm 1.2 image quality can’t be beat, it’s a stellar lens.
I’m big on primes as a great starting lens to learn on. What that said there only only a few native RF-S lenses out. 18-45 and 18-150. For low light I would suggest the RF 16mm 2.8 on crop would be 24-25mm-ish at 2.8. 50 1.8 is a great lens as well to start but with a crop it would be almost telephoto on the R10.
A lot of people miss the point of a 24-105: it will get stuff IN FOCUS! And for a LOT of paid work this is something that is desired by the client. The want to show environment, several people at the same time etc. so for this type of work, one should really consider this when
Great comparison, I think you helped me make the decision of sticking with my 50mm 1.4. A lot of people complain about its autofocus but combined with the eos r, it does a good job. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the great video. Currently I have Canon 6D with Canon 24-105 f4 and Canon 50mm f1.8. I am happy with what I had right now. I plan and research to add Canon 70-200mm f2.8 or f4.0. I lean more to the 70-200mm 2.8 incase I need more light but I is heavy than 70-200 f4. What is your advice. Thanks a lot.
You have a great kit. I started my wedding photography studio with an EF 70-200 f4 because I couldn’t fork up the $$ for 2.8. Eventually I did because I realized the limitations in my line of work. F4 is more than enough for most as ISO are good go today. For travel I’d go f4 for work I’d go 2.8.
Thank you for the great video. Currently I have canon Rp . I am a beginner photographer, which lens do you recommend for wedding and portrait shooting rf 24-105mm f4-7.1 or ef 50mm 1.8 or if you have any recommendation for affordable lense I will be thankful.
Congrats! Welcome to the world of photography. For weddings I wouldn’t touch 24-105 f4-7.1 because you’ll be stuck in low light situations unless your style is flash all the time. I would recommended a 50 1.8 but you need to compliment that with a wider lens and maybe a little bit of reach with 85mm. Let’s just say my go to setup is 35/50/85mm. As for starting out you’ll be ok with 1.8 versions as I once did. Good luck.👍
Primes are my pride and joy but as far as image quality zooms are really get up there on these new RF lenses . It’s all about the look you are after but yea if you have the ability to have both, best of both worlds.
Just getting started I preordered the R6I want to shoot portraits and just all around kids and and grandkids pics and hat in your opinion should be my first lenses 50, 24-70, or the 24-105 ?
John Crews I think the 24-105 is a great all around lens even stuck at f4 for portraits use distance from subject to background to your advantage but the 50 will give you the creamiest portraits ever. Lol. As your first do it all lens I do think the 24-105 is the best option.
How is the dust sealing on this particular RF lens? I've heard photographers having a nightmare with Tamron and Sigma's current 24-70 due to dust getting sucked in to the lens due to poor sealing on the extending lens barrel. To your knowledge, does the RF F4 24-105mm L have a filter between the extending barrel and the main barrel to prevent dust from getting sucked into the lens? Or in your extensive use of the lens, have you detected any issues with dust [long term use]?
It had weather seals but dust will eventually make its way into the lens eventually, it’s inevitable and will happen. Does it effect the lens, not really. I’ve had an EF 24-70 I and II and the barrel zoomed in and out dust made its way but lens never performed less.
Thank you. Very helpful. I'm assembling lenses for a new R6. I have ultra wide covered well enough for my needs with an RF 15-35 f2.8. I have sports and wildlife (telephoto) covered for my needs with an RF 100-500. I'm sorting out what to do for the middle range, and considering a number of options - can I do it with one more lens? Or do I need/want two? How does the background blur compare between a RF 24-70 2.8 shooting at 70, versus an RF 24-105 f4 shooting at 105? Can I generate roughly the same background blur with the 24-105 f/4 if I shoot portraits at 105mm? If yes, that it one more argument in favor of this 24-105 f/4 as my next lens. I generally prefer faster lenses and that is really the only thing holding me back on this lens.
Cool. Soo background blur is also determined by the distance from background and subject right soo with sports being in stadium setting f4 could be all you need however if you are shooting sports indoors, at night (usually let by studying lights) that 2.8 could be critical to your work in the mid range. I know a few sports photog that are not only capturing the game but also need to capture the BTS of teams, etc. 2.8 is helpful compared to f4.
Hey, I have an Eos RP and I don't know if I should buy the 50 1.2 (for 1000€) or the 24-105 (for 910€) what would you do? Thanks and btw, your videos are great!
Thanks for your feedback, greatly appreciate it. It really depends on what you shoot most, if you feel you are shoot alot of street, events and, low light stuff I would go with the 50 1.2. If you need versatile yo can't beat 24-105. If you are new into photography my thoughts would be a 50 prime could make you a better photographer, composition, etc. 24-105 for I want to shoot everything. I hope that helps you but there really is no clear answer.
Hi there! I really like your video! I would also like to ask you a question about choosing between the 50mm f1.8 stm and 24-105mm lens. I used to use 24-105mm to shoot cars photography with my eos4d and it is amazing, but now I'm suffering on shooting the model car/toy car photography with my 24-105mm. It is hard to focus on the whole body on my model car. Should I get a 50mm lens? As I believe the 24-105mm is too wide to shoot some small object, thanks!
Zoom in and go tighter with 24-105. With that said you will get less in focus as you zoom in, up your f-stop. If you want the full car in focus you’ll want a higher f-stop as f4 even at 50mm might not have the complete car in focus. A 50mm prime lens is not going to help you or change your issue.
@@travelacho having both is best of both worlds but ask if you need it. Do you shoot a lot of low light and is the 50mm good enough for you in those situations.
I have the RF24-105 f4 myself and I think it's a fantastic allround lens both for video and photo. That said as a commercial photographer I always had primes and it makes full sense to have some large aperture opening lenses. One needs both at least when have it as a job. I don't have the Canon 50mm 1.2 L but Sigma 1.4 with is good in many ways except on busier backgrounds like foliage and fur trees it doesn't look that smooth as one would expect. How is your canon 50mm 1.2 L in these kind of scenarios? I'm curious to know...
If you are on RF mount the newer 50mm 1.2 is a lot better with a much smoother bokeh compare to the EF ver. I only have a EF 50mm 1.2 L, it’s smooth but not that’s smooth. In a way I reach for the 85mm 1.2 because it gives that much more... if you can afford it the RF primes are a setup but I like the smaller size of EF even with adapter.
You need to change your aperture to f4. What camera are you using? It’s usually default the dial on top right next to your thumb when holding the camera.
@@RickyCheung Ok great. I think you are right! This may be a stupid question, but I am new to photography! So when I zoom in to 105mm automatically changes to f7.1. Is there a way to change that or is that the lowest it will go being zoomed in that much? Thanks!
Sounds like you have a different lens perhaps the 24-104 stm which on the long end maxes out at f7.1. So there are two vs. a canon 24-105 f4 (constant throughout the range) and a canon rf 24-105 f4-7.1. There is no way around this but to change lenses but I think if you are new to photography, be great with what you have. Thanks for watching the vid.
Thank you sooo much Soony. I really appreciate your feedback, it keeps me going. Would love to know what you like best compared to others so I can focus on that in future vids. Thanks again.
@@RickyCheung as u see , this video kinda helped chose between the two, and I'll think I'll go for the 50mm, I'm new to cameras, so I'm getting for now a canon 600d , but I'll do an upgrade maybe in the future, So to me finding videos about budget cameras would be great !! Keep on the good work
@@SonnyDali Awesome! One thing to know is I think, the 600D is an APSC camera so there is an internal crop 1.6x so a 50mm will be 80mm-ish so it would be alot longer than you would think.
I do not know any professional working photographer who has that 50mm 1.2 lens, I don’t need it and never have, Keep your money in the bank not your camera bag guys! Only buy what you need for the job or rent for the gig! Take a look at the Tamron 28-75mm it’s 2.8 all the way will not take your money it will make you money!
Not sure about that. Every wedding professional both in photo and video has a 50mm 1.2 it’s creates a look you can’t replicate with any zoom not even and RF 28-70 f2. It also my most used lens on any given wedding day.

The 50mm 1.4 is a fine lens and I miss its compactness compared to 50mm 1.2.
