I love you review James, thanks for your great work, you talk with pictures, not with pixel-peeping. I like this lens, but photography wise ( i don't do video ) : - for landscape i would prefer the versatility of a second hand EF 16-35mm f/4 IS at around 500 euros. - for portrait (and that's why i finally sell it) i prefer a second hand the EF 24 1.4 II (700 euros ), while bokeh is not bad on RF, the EF has some magic powder for portrait . - for street shooting i would get the RF 35mm, because i find 35mm more versatile, while RF 24 might be a bit sharper i prefer the bokeh of RF 35. - the macro and very low weight is the most interesting aspect of this lens. I would recommand it for those who need good portrait / good landscape / good macro / in a very portable package and love to shoot wide. This is a very versatile lens for everyday use, but it's not a pro lens imo. I would buy it second hand at 500 euros max. At 700 euros this lens is overprice.
Shouldnt a shorter distance to the sensor yield better lens designs why then an overpriced artficially corrected lens? Correction means you lose pixel.
Good review. Canon is crazy with the price, it's the same casket as 35mm, heavy distortion for the half of price of 24-105 L. Probably like the rest of the new lenses it's 22mm corrected to 24mm so technically after raw conversion it will be wider depending on the program than camera jpg so for crop it may by closer to 35mm.
Yeah it's a shame to see Canon take this route, in the UK this lens is priced about the same as the new Sigma 24mm 1.4. I can live with this approach for cheap zooms or even the 16mm 2.8 but this lens feels way overpriced for the quality. Unfortunately we don't have any other native options. I may trade this in for the Sigma 28mm 1.4 and adapt it. That's probably my favourite wide angle prime. Thank you for watching Tomasz!
@@JamesReader I expect that price will drop by 1/3 in half the year, the same happened with 16mm and 85mm f2. You need to pay Canon first adapter tax first or wait patiently. Both 16 and 85 were overpriced at lunch but 16mm at least was not such expensive lens.
This lens is definitely Canons 35mm for APSC. Canon is dropping a 24mm 1.4 L and a 28mm 1.4 or 1.4 L at some point. Expect those to be flawless expect on your bank account.
Wanna watch a comparison between 24mm 1.8 in R7 and 35mm in Canon R8/R6ii. Please make videos about R10--- there are lots of mid-level users who use R10 the most. Recently I purchased R10 with the kit which is a useless lens in vlogs and indoors. We need a fast overall zoom lens for R10/R50 with IS.
I compared the 24mm on the R7 to the 35mm on full frame in my earlier video reviewing the 24mm. I’ll definitely look into making a video about the R10, haven’t had chance to use it but would love to!
Thanks for this kind of videos. I find them the most useful on CZcams. It would be great if you could show us in a sooner video your preferred lens for the R7. Thanks!
Thank you!! The intro shots were a mix of C70 & R5. No LUTS on the R7 footage just colour transform to Arri LOG and then some tweaks. I do sometimes use the Phantom LUTS for CLOG 3 though for a quick grade. I find that it’s quite easy to get a nice look with the R7. Hope that helps.
Thanks for the video. I am researching on the RF24mm 1.8 Lens and I may buy it as I need a lightweight set up for travelling. I do have a 24-70mm 2.8 but it is too heavy when I am walking on the street
hey!! this was a super awesome comparison video. it all looks amazing and your colors in video are amazing!!! I shoot Sony rn for weddings A1 and A7iv but miss my R5 I'm tossed between buying a used r5 or R6ii due to new hot shoe and unlimited video recording but I'm eh about 24 mp which truly doesn't matter too much . Cropping in camera on r5 is awesome though. What would you haha even though you have an r5
Thank you so much Marc! I have the R5 and R6 with the R6 mark II on pre order to replace the R6. I would absolutely say go for the R5 if you can, it’s the best camera I have ever used. Since the latest firmware I have not had it overheat on me again either.
Hi, do you transcode your videos before importing the files into your project and timeline (either Resolve or Premiere Pro)? I transcoded mine to ProRes 422 HQ but I noticed some color banding and slight pixelation issues the moment I used CST (with no correction/grading) in Resolve. Resolve doesn't allow me to directly import h265 files so I had to transcode the files first. Shot using the R7 (C-Log 3). Hoping to get some advice.
How was the distortion when using it for video on the C70, did you need to do post correction for the video too? Also is the autofocus quieter than the RF 24-70? Thanks
I'm buying canon r7 soon... So I'm a fashion and portrait photographer ? What lens good for portrait and fashion photography ? 35mm 1.8 or 24mm 1.8 ? Plz help
No LUTs just colour space transform to Arri Log and then some tweaks, grain etc. If you’re looking for some LUTs for a similar look I would recommend the Phantom LUTs. The neutral one in particular.
@@ChicoFilmz4is check out www.joelfamularo.com/colour - I would also highly recommend Gamuts conversion LUTs. I’m hoping to release my own LUTs in the future or do a colour grading tutorial, but these products get you close enough.
@@dannymolns3573 wider angle with the same amount of blurry background, giving more information behind, it is not normal look, a bit exaggerate. That's why more people prefer 35mm (on FF) than 50mm (on FF)
Thanks for the in depth review. I have the 35mm and the 50mm 1.8. Hard to justify getting the 24mm based on what I see here.
I love you review James, thanks for your great work, you talk with pictures, not with pixel-peeping.

informative video, thank you! especially for the comparison against the rf35
Really appreciate you incorporating the R7! It's my first "professional" camera!
That's an amazing first pro camera! Thank you for watching.
Wide angle lenses are always magical ☺
best review from this lens...and i was looking for hours, days and weeks...thanks a lot, very helpful!
Thank you so much! I’m really glad it helped

Would love to see a color grading video on the R5 and C70! Love the look! And

@@portraitblake I think you’re right. Looking forward to that 28mm in particular. Thanks for watching!
@@BearInDespair I hope so. The 24-105 L went up from 1200€ to 1450€ some time after its release.
Great video! I was looking 👀 into getting the RF 24mm lens. 👍🏽
Just subscribed! Really great video that shows basically everything you need to know! Amazing work dude! Keep going!
Thank you Alessandro!
After your review I bought the 24mm for my R7 - I'm impressed.
That’s awesome! The 24mm is amazing.
Most efficient portrait shots I’ve ever seen with the Rf24/1.8 but I’m here to know more about sigma 28mm/1.4 with R mount
The Sigma 28mm is one of my favourite lenses of all time. Will definitely review it soon!
@@JamesReader yes please do it soon as possible
Nice reviews! Im from Brazil, i like this review format. *-*
Thank you Will!
Great review, straightforward and focused… thx.
Thank you Jogu!
Thanks great video as always from your Chanel 👏👌

I saw distortion in the 24mm close-up shots with the model. The 35mm looked more natural. Could you see it?
I would agree!
Gracias por el video. Excelente análisis. Aplausos para la modelo y para ti por la composición de las imágenes. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Canon messed up so bad releasing that 35mm, it's soooo good.
Nice Video! I will be buying the lens to use on a R10 for video work...Thanks!
Thank you for watching!
Very cool video, thanks !
For the broll shots at the beginning of the video, it was shot with C70 ?
Are you using any Lut for the R7 ?
Thanks :) !

I think the 24 would be a great option for travel.
YAYYYY it's here! :)
Yay! Thanks so much for working with me Xenia!
I never knew the 24mm can be a portrait lens!

Thank you 🤗
Which you would advice for R7 - 24mm 1.8 or 35mm 1.8? Which one you like more for portraits? Thanks
For most portraits I would prefer the 35mm! Hope that helps.
It’s looks good on the r 10 to..maybe this lens is really meant for crop sensor cameras
I have a Canon 16-35mm f2.8 III. Apparently, I'll have to continue with her using the adapter. It covers 16-24-35mm.
That’s an amazing lens. Thanks for watching Felipe
Not a lens that I am interested in (I am shocking myself) but again, great video and it was fun to see what that baby could do.
Thank you Rachael!
Thanks a lot James for the nice review.
What about the Rf85mm f2 when are you goito review it ?
Thanks
Thank you Mohammed! It’s definitely on my list of lenses to try!
Amazing photos and amazing video. Well done!
Thank you Ricardo!
Why such a difference of sharpness between R5 and R7 at 7:08 ? Sharpness look much more between the two at 6:14
The R5 just tends to come out quite a bit sharper.

Hey! I’m afraid I don’t do any transcoding and just import the h265 files directly into resolve so I’m unable to help, sorry!
I have a confession I’m using canon 85mm 1.2 l lens with my r 7 pure monster
I also love to carry around a giant $2500 lens just to use less than half of it
How was the distortion when using it for video on the C70, did you need to do post correction for the video too? Also is the autofocus quieter than the RF 24-70? Thanks
I found it to be a great lens on the C70 with very little perceivable distortion. Very quiet AF too.
@@JamesReader amazing thanks!
@@JamesReader What about vignetting on f 1.8 is that also less obvious on the c70?
I'm buying canon r7 soon... So I'm a fashion and portrait photographer ? What lens good for portrait and fashion photography ? 35mm 1.8 or 24mm 1.8 ? Plz help
I would recommend the 24mm 1.8 on the R7. It’s given me the best results for photo so far out of any other budget lens.
@@JamesReader canon r7 picture quality good for fashion or portrait photographer with 24mm 1.8 lens ?
@@nupurnaskar2511 Yep I think you will be very happy with that combination!
@@JamesReader and 24mm lens I can use indoor studio shoot and outdoor shoot both ? Or both ?
@@nupurnaskar2511 Yeah you could use this both indoor and outdoor. It’s quite a versatile focal length
Are you using luts to color grade these videos?

At the same aperture, 24mm is always better than 35mm
Why

Not ideal for portraits when you go close - the nose becomes to big ...
