    The Canon RF 85mm F2 Macro STM lens is extremely affordable and packs a ton of features not found in other entry-level lenses. But what do the photos look like? Are they any good, and is the lens actually as good as they say?

    Anthony I need your opinion I have a canon R5 with a 50 mm 1.2 and 15-35 2.8 mm lens I was thinking to change one of them with 70-200 mm lens, which one should I give up? Plus I have a Sony A7R4 with 70-200 2.8 G master and 24-70 2.8 Sigma. For my canon lens should I get 70-200?

    7:27 the "blurry" photo of your friend.
    1. What is the shutter speed and aperture in this photo. Was the shutter speed to long for hand held even with IS turned on. Or was the IS turned of.
    2. Did you use a lense hood for the 85 mm to avoid stray light and lens flares and lover contrast in photo.
    3. perhaps the sharpness is on the pine tree to the right?
    I know this lens in generel is a sharp lens, so I'm a little surpriced about this "blurry" photo.
    I like the rest of your video, keep up the good work.

      There is no third party lenses for the canon RF lens system. Canon just has some cheaper alternatives :) And the difference is just over all quality. They are not bad tho.

    Great review. One of my most hated lenses. Have to absolutely agree with all that's said here.
    Now I will say. I only used it for 4 hours max. It wouldn't track my fast moving toddler. And the autofocus was also slow going from short to Long distance as mentioned. So I returned it.
    Great review as always my dude.

      Hey, I loved your comment. In fact, I was wondering if I should buy this lens to take pictures of my fast moving toddler as well. What RF prime do you suggest for it? I already have both 24-105 f/4 and 35 f/1.8 in my kit.

      @@MarcusNunes the 100/2.8 macro is the cheapest RF prime with Nano USM. For more versatility there’s the 70-200/4. Both are 2x as expensive as the 85.

      @@officialvisaural I thought about the 100 f/2.8, but I wasn't sure about it. I was always more inclined to buy the 85 f/2, since the 85 f/1.2 is too expensive for me.

    I used this lens when shooting “simulated surfing” in Hawaii last summer. The lens physical quality SUCKED as it always felt like something was loose inside it. HOWEVER, unlike a lot of these comments, my image quality was pretty high up there, I never knew how hated this lens was until now.
    Also, I returned it after I got let go from that shoot so I can’t test it… maybe that’s for the better.

    Hello Master Anthony:
    Please help and give me some advice,
    The camera I am currently using is Canon EOS R10,
    The kit lens used with it is (RF-S18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM)
    My main subject matter is toy photography.
    The secondary shooting content is street photography or portrait photos.
    Now I want to buy new lenses, after watching your video,
    Want to compare between Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM and RF85mm F2 Macro IS STM
    After making a choice, I would like to ask you to give me some advice on which lens is more suitable for me? Thank you.

    • @windstorm894
      @windstorm894 Před 23 hodinami +1

      I would say probably just get the 85mm. I think that would help, especially the f2 aperture will make a big difference. 35mm and 50mm is more used in street photography but the 85mm is versatile and will give you a different perspective

    I’m not sure why you’re talking about doing macro at f2. That’s not really a thing and when you do that of course you’ll have CA in the image. But, this lens is a budget lens so even closed down a bit you’ll see some. I still like mine though I don’t use it though
