    Just received it for my R7 and R10. Actually I like it for video, for talking head shots. Paired it with the 35 f1.8 which works for my needs like a charme. Would like to see more R7 content and actually would not mind seeing also your review of the R10, if you could get your hands on one. Keep up the good work Chris, its everytime really appreciated.

      Agreed. And a comparison with the 100-500L would be interesting. I wonder if the gap between the two closes when on an APSC sensor.

  • @product26
    @product26 Před rokem +14

    Chris, I believe the RF 16mm has a slight field curvature. A lot of wide angle lenses have this as a feature, not a bug. Wide angle scenes are never flat but charts are. Have you tried shooting the chart with the focus point in the corner then comparing corner vs center sharpness?

    • @neverenoughadventure
      @neverenoughadventure Před rokem +3

      You are right! Thank you for the suggestion. I immediately got my 16mm + R7 combo out an tried just that. Focus in the middle and recompose... its field curvature! @christopherfrost the corners are not as sharp as the center, but almost when you focus for them!

      I agree with you. This point is especially bad when paired with canon closing their lens mount to third parties- those two factors together bum me out a lot but if either were done away with I’d be a lot happier. Sure canon, go the “smaller lighter at the cost of optical quality” route but at least give other companies the ability to sell us a big heavy alternative that doesn’t rely on corrections that are almost extreme enough to essentially start feeling like computational photography.

    • @yohan2437
      @yohan2437 Před rokem +2

      The problem with Canon is that they have a dirty habit of cutting corners by designing lenses with extreme barrel distortion, then stretching the corners, cropping, and upsampling the entire image to the stated resolution of the camera. For example, if you have a 24 Mp camera, the image will be stretched, cropped by approx 16% to 20 Mp, then deceivingly upsampled back to 24 Mp using 20 Mp's worth of data. That is why no amount of stopping down can correct for the soft corners. Why even upsample to deceive the customer when the image data isn't actually 24 Mp?

    • @maxhammick948
      @maxhammick948 Před rokem

      Yep, there's no "sweet spot" on a fisheye lens. That level of corrections on a zoom is more forgivable (even if few zooms are as bad as the 16mm), as you can just zoom in a few mm to greatly improve it, but it's disappointing on a prime. I blame vloggers for making canon think people would be happy with this, the softness from the corrections wouldn't be an issue at 4k

    This is a great reason why I love 3rd party. Sigma has the amazing 16mm F1.4 for the same price as the RF 2.8, but not on the RF platform. Its on the EF-M, but you cant adapt EF-M to RF. If Canon ever makes a 16MM F1.4 it will be $2000 easy and the size of a small car.

    Thanks for your fun and informative reviews. I've recently purchased an R7 to complement my beloved R6 (the R7 replaces a 77D). I purchased the RF 24-105stm with the R6 and had a very enjoyable outing with that lens yesterday on my R7. I'm thinking that you and your viewers might enjoy taking some time with that combination. I prefer smaller and lighter gear, but do not (yet) own the RF-S 18-150. The 24-105 is relatively lightweight for a full frame lens and I am very happy with the results. Certain use cases might satisfy with the 38-168 focal range with near macro ability at the long end and good IS. I also highly appreciate you sharing your faith and the vital importance of spirituality.

    I've been spoiled by kit lenses that start at 24mm (equivalent). Canon's APSC crop of 1.6 with the kit lens starting at 18mm gives a fov of 29mm, not quite wide enough for a kit lens these days. 16mm gets you just over 25mm fov, but you have to change lenses.

      There is only a single advantage of the RF 16... its compact, but i would rather go full frame and use the RF 24, 35 or 50 instead.

    Hoping for a 400/500/600 review, until Canon stops being foolish I'm sticking with ef/efs for the R7, releasing cameras that they don't have the lens catalog to fully support makes no sense and not allowing third party to be involved limits just how many people may choose Canon over a more open brand, though it doesn't seem to be hurting android vs apple all that much so maybe we'll be stuck with relying on ef/efs if you want third party.
    Fwiw I no longer buy lenses until I've seen one of your videos and you've rated it well, my last 4 lens purchases have been done this way and I've finally got a collection of lenses that I'm thoroughly pleased with and my photography effort is now much more fulfilling. So thanks for all the work you put in, and the method with which you test, I'm entirely certain your efforts have saved viewers hundreds of thousands worth of pounds by giving out reliable and trustworthy advice.

      Still shopping? I have both of those lenses and the R7. Which is "better" depends on what you most want. For pure image quality, I find the Sigma Art to be much better--sharper edge to edge and better contrast. It is also incredible on full frame. Lack of IS (especially on a wide angle lens) is not really a big deal with the R7 IBIS. Build quality is also superior with metal body, weather sealing, and excellent locking hood. The RF 35, on the other hand, is just such a handy little lens. Much lighter and WAY smaller than the 28 Art (1/2 the length of 28+adapter.). I also like the close focus capability of the RF lens. I grab the 28 Art for serious work and the 35 for travel and general walkabout.

      Super expensive, not because of the 24-240 but because of the RF 16 (low IQ/quality at all for a "high" price) and RF 14-35... its a FULL FRAME wide angle, it gets on APS-C a "bad" wide angle lens! If, then the Sigma 16-35 1.8 so you have at least a nice aperture.
      I would rather say:
      Any adapted 10-18/10-22/10-20 wide angle zoom with 3.5 aperture for ultrawide and wide angle
      24-240 as universal zoom and a RF 600 F11
      Or the combination i would see as super affordable, universal and lightweight:
      Again any wide angle zoom (or prime, except the RF 16)
      Canon EF-S 17-55 2.8.... GREAT universal lens and also low light capable
      Canon RF 100-400
      In case 400mm isnt enough yet replace the 100-400 with a Sigma 150-600C (sharper, longer and faster, just worse stab and autofocus) or get a proper supertele prime additionally.

      10-20/10-18/10-22mm lens, for PROPER WIDE ANGLE, on APS-C i consider 24mm somewhat "regular angle" and far off from "wide".
      - 17-55 2.8 Canon EF-S or any 3rd party 2.8 standard zoom version (or even the 18-35 1.8 Sigma!)
      - any telezoom lens, might be the 60-600 Sports Sigma, 100-400 Canon lens (EF or RF) or similar
      In my opinion 24 is not wide and 240mm is not long, and because its a lens with 10x zoom its still somewhat "big" and heavier. In combination with the slow aperture its by far not any lens i would consider to use.

    Love your gear tests regardless of brand and build and i think your sharpness chart has set a standard. One thing puzzles me though. You keep stating that high Mp sensors are "demanding" esp in this video the term was used quite a lot. Can you explain the physics behind why this shy of 33mp sensor is more demanding than of a 20 mp sensor.

    • @harrison00xXx
      @harrison00xXx Před rokem

      I guess he just talk about the fact that the 32MP APS-C R7 is effectively the pixel size of a 80MP FF equivalent and i guess you understand thats very demanding for a lens.
      Since the RF16 is very unsharp its pretty useless on 32MP APS-C (and overpriced as hell!)

      @arildhagen3820 Před rokem

      @@harrison00xXx Thanx but that doen't explain the term demanding and with repect you didn't either with the 80 mp FF comparison. For me this indicates that the lens is poor compared to the higher end lenses who are capable of transferring details more uncorrupted especially when we are looking outside the center.. Given the same physical size of the sensor and regardless of the Mp count the light coming through the lens will hit the same spot on the sensor and spread the information over more pixels. You can get more details in a drawing by using a pointy thin paitnbrush over a wide outdoor brush. I would replace the demanding term with honesty where the sensor spread the light over more pixles using the finer paitbrush if you will and draw the flaws in the details destorted by the lens. The G-master series of lenses is rated to utilze a FF sensor up to 100mp. No such FF sensor is made for FF at the moment but GM lenses are utilizing the 61mp by the A74/5.

    I’m really dissapointed in the RF16mm. For landscapes on the R5 sensor. The lens is just not sharp enough. My RF 15-35mm is very heavy and big. The RF 14-35 has unacceptable mechanical vignet for the price. I really hope Canon wil make a prime wide angle with filterring and better image quality.

  • @stevepa999
    @stevepa999 Před rokem

    There is a scientific reason why full-frame lenses do not work well on crop-sensor bodies. Gerald Undone released an excellent video about four years ago titled "crop lenses on crop bodies: how it works vs full frame". Basically, it has to do with the larger size of the image circle that full-frame lenses project. When projected on the smaller aps-c sensors it spills over with the result that a lot of the light gets wasted producing lower quality images. Whereas, APS-C lenses project all of the light gathered onto the cropped-sensor body.

    • @harrison00xXx
      @harrison00xXx Před rokem

      the issue with this lens:
      Its probably ok on full frame, but when you add the 1,6x crop it gets a pretty useless 25-50mm (F6.3 like looking!).
      I got for example a APS-C Sigma 10-20mm 3.5, which is in fact CHEAPER, SHARPER and more universal than the RF 16 2.8 (biggest "advantage" left for the RF16 is its size and 2.8 vs 3.5)
      In my opinion there are barely good RF lenses for the R7:
      - RF 100-400 is sharp, but not sharp enough down to pixel level, where as the EF 100-400 II is sharper at F 5.6 than the RF at F8. Sure 1600g vs 600g, but damn i had both lenses and the EF is so much prefferable (even over the RF 100-500!)
      - RF 600/800 F11... F11 hurts the most when using APS-C beside very long range with 960 or 1280mm minimum!
      - RF 24mm.... its somewhat okish, but the 2nd worse lens when it comes to sharpness (right after the RF 16)..
      - RF 35 1.8.... great lens, but you pay for a full frame lens and stabilizer a lot, there are some interesting EF options out there.... especially if weight/size isnt the problem..... Sigma 16-35 1.8 Art... a BEAST of a lens and worth every penny.
      - RF 24-70... beside the fact its heavily overpriced.... very unusual and "useless" focal range on crop camera (damn even "bad" on full frame)
      - RF 100-500... it is probably a very nice fit on the R7 with 160-800mm effectively with very good stabilizer, super sharp and somewhat "compact"... but the price is ridicilous and we could get away with even a lighter and shorter APS-C telezoom for much less than the 100-500L. Even the EF 100-400 II is a more affordable and in some specs (F5.6 vs 7.1) better option than the 3000$ RF lens.
      As much i was always thinking the hate on R10/7 was pretty unreasonable... if i would also care more about native glass i would still hate a lot on the R10/R7. Thankfully i just love and prefer EF glass and in some occasions a wide APS-C prime and zoom.
