Its like they all follow this formula and it gets really old and time-wasting fast. Yes, so thank you for just getting to the point.

    I switched from Nikon to Canon this year and one of the reasons why was the 28-70! It's a great lens and it has not left my R5 since I got it. I've always been a prime girl but this lens just works so well and is so sharp. It's magic!

    I just had the proudest day of my life at my daughter’s wedding. I was astounded by the 12+ hour stint put in by their photographer. 2 camera bodies, hip holster, heavy lenses, and she still somehow still managed to melt into the event and somehow become a part of it. Sheer graft. Respect to your profession.

    The 28-70 is truly godlike. I use it for theatre photography, at f/2 in a dark theatre the photos come out so clean it's like I shot them in daylight. Absolutely game changing to get prime lens speed on a versatile zoom!

    I've owned my 28-70 since 2019 and it still is my main lens (81% of all my frames shot since then) for all the reasons you pointed out. It is an absolute tank as well as it being immaculate in image quality and character. With IBIS on all pro bodies going forward, I just don't see this changing for a decade, unless there's a mark 2 with a breakthrough on optical quality (similar to the EF 35 1.4L Mark 1 vs Mark 2), or if the wide end dropped down to 24mm or wider. A 24-105 2.0L would be my ultimate lens to rule them all, and would pair perfectly with my 100-300L that I'm patiently waiting to ship...

    Thanks for the excellent video! I mainly have done more sporting events photography though I also do a lot of sports portrait compositions too. My main workhorse has been the RF 70-200 F2.8L for it all and has been doing the job well for me but I have also started picking up clients for high school senior picture sessions too. I wanted to get another lens for that type of work and to use for those sports portraits too. I have been trying to debate between the RF 28-70 F2.0L and the RF 85 F1.2L. This is more of a side job/hobby I do, so I can't really throw the money down on both right now. I am leaning more towards the 28-70 for the versatility of the zoom and get the 85 down the road if I still need it, what your thoughts?

    I have the 24-70, was just wondering if you’ve done a comparison? I have a wedding coming up and will have the 70-200 and 14-35(holy trinity?). (I don’t think I’ve seen any of your videos where you’ve added so much of your quirkiness, and I love it!) 😎

      Whatever we have in our bag will get the job done for a wedding or two. A lens like the 28-70mm f/2 is more about creating our style and portfolio with the extra stop of shallow depth of field. Alternatively, using two primes like the 35mm and 85mm creates the style of only two perspectives, producing a more consistent look to the wedding album.

      the EF 24-70 2.8 was one of my first L lenses I ever bought (maybe the very first). It's a GREAT lens, but to me doesn't compare to this one. this is so much more crisp and the difference between 2.8 and f2 is big IMO

    • @UnconventionalReasoning
      @UnconventionalReasoning Před rokem

      @@VanessaJoy Yes, sometimes we have to remind ourselves that the lens creates an image based on more than just the f-stop. Here, it's also what the lens is designed to do at f/2 that sets it apart from the 24-70 f/2.8.

    I’m curious, do you use the 70-200mm a lot for weddings? I think it’s one of my favorite lenses, along with the 28-70, but I’ve seen a lot of wedding photographers saying they hardly ever pick it up, and I’m not but whyyyy?

      @@VanessaJoy Haha, omg that’s crazy. But yeah, I guess I understand with the 135mm. Is it the low aperture that you find more useless for low light and such? I’m sure it’s sharper too, but I’ve always preferred the ability to zoom out and closer in.

    if you just run the holy trinity with the 105 macro, you're still just running 4 lenses. if 28-70 f2 gets brought to all the big 3 platforms though it would probably quickly replace the 24-70 pretty quick

    If I were to switch back to Canon I would probably just get the 24-105. It’s not fast but I can shoot a portrait. I can shoot landscape with the 24. Finally I don’t have to switch lenses and the amount of stuff I’m packing is simplified.

  • @daemon1143
    @daemon1143 Před rokem +2

    I can see why you like the f2, and no mistake it's a great lens, but for me, the lack of stabilization plus the weight pushed me back to the f2.8 version, especially in low light where I get more from the extra stab than I lose from the aperture.

  • @iancurrie8844
    @iancurrie8844 Před rokem +4

    It's great to have those RF lenses but for the everyday person, older EF L lenses and ART lenses are spectacular when adapted onto the RF mount. They're even better than they were on the EF bodies. There are no flies on them and, frankly, are better than what 99.9% of people will even need or be able to realize with them.

    Hey I have a question… I thought the 100 macro was similar to the 135 that you don’t need both. What’s the benefit of having both on a wedding day?

    • @davesmulders3931
      @davesmulders3931 Před rokem

      The old EF 135mm f/2 was buttery smooth in the bokeh, much more than the 100mm f/2.8 macro. The new RF 135mm f/1.8 is at least comparable. The 100mm feels really exact and sharp, the 135mm feels more dreamy in my opinion.
      Plus that I personally like the 135mm length. I carried a 70-200 for a long time for weddings/parties and the bulk of the shots I took were around 120 to 200mm.
      I think it's more a thing of having the 135mm because of the focal length you like, and taking the macro as an extra because it's a macro lens: you need something for the detail shots like rings etc. It's not so much about the focal length with the macro.

      The major difference is the 100 is a macro lens (with 1.4X magnification). 135 is nowhere near a macro lens, with only .26x magnification. For portraits, they are somewhat similar, but really are two completely different lenses, intended for different purposes.

      To me the 2.8 aperture versus the F2 aperture is a huge difference. The 24-70 2.8 has zoom lens quality, it’s good quality, but the 28 to 70 F2 has a prime lens quality to it and it’s just wildly better my opinion.

    From a business perspective, buying the 28-70mm makes more sense than the 3 primes shown in your video. Also, I agree with your comment about the coverage that zooms afford. I love shooting with primes but zooms are more versatile. Clients don't care which lens you shoot with as long as you get the shot. Finally, tell Ms. Killjoy to take some time away from the computer she reminds me of a keyboard warrior.
