FYI: The macro distance is 0.17m, not cm as I said in the video 😅

Thanks for the video review. Hoping your friends at Canon will loan you the RF 24 1.8 for a similar test on an R7. Like you I prefer the ~35mm field of view, which I'd essentially get with the 24. The reviews I've seen so far are on full-frame cameras, and I'm curious how much the camera adjustments for the reported softer corners and vignetting affect the final image in ASP-C.

[juhaaavalaakso]

I bought 24mm 1.8 and it totally sucks for video. It is super noisy making a lot of knocking sounds. This does the same?

[papermicrowavesoap]

I think Christopher Frost did a new test with the 35mm and the R7 and found that the sensor size of the R7 was a little more brutal on the image quality with the lens. I think the video you referenced is his initial review.

That being said, what matters is how it’s applied in real life scenarios vs lab tests so take that with a grain of salt.

[tom_k_d]

Try adapt EF 2.0 IS USM instead, it's optically better (minus the macro), and a much more sturdy construction with fully internal focusssing.

[ruialex]

Nice video this is the camera and lens I’m looking at as it’s the kind of photography I enjoy, how is it for night photography and Astro photography on the R7?

[MonroesArtStudio]

I love the combo with an APSC + 35mm setup. I'm using the R7 with the EF 35mm F2 IS right now. So clean.

[miguelmonforte]

Thats a better option than Sigma Art 30 1.4, cause it has IS and can be used in FFrame as well 👌

[IntrovertAmateur]

Great video Roger! I had the Rf 35 1.8 also when I had my R6. Totally agree with your points. Great lens for the price, specially in the RF eco system.
I wonder what your experience would be using the RF 24mm on APSc. As a full frame lens the reviews on YT are not so great.
Why did you sell your EOS R, if I may ask?

[nightwolf]

hi I have a question I want to buy the RF 35mm f1.8 lens or the 50mm f1.8 for portrait and macro photography but I am not sure which is best for me I use the Canon R7 with the kit lens of 18-150mm

[claudiogiamboi]

thank you for this video, I'm very undecided between rf 35mm and rf 24mm.. i like very much the bokeh on 35mm but i don't know how it is with 24mm, maybe with 24mm i have to go nearest to sobject for the same effect.. Did you ever try rf 24mm on R7?

[udaypamphilos]

Hi Roger, I am planning to buy the R7... can you help me understand how the ISO performance is on the R7? How far can we push the ISO before it starts to show noise in the images.. especially for indoor photos with a regular room light.

[inukisoft]

Maybe speedbooster viltrox is better option that use focal lens designed for other scenarios. 15mm is an angular lens but in apsc 22mm with crop but the image will have a lot of distortion in the corner (but crop help to hidde it) . With speed booster gain 1 full step of Aperture but it is only posible with ef lens . Sigma 35mm with speedbooster en canon r7 f1.4 to f1.2. Saludos desde Chile (I have r7 and r6 )

[MamadTajik]

Do you think its autofocus speed is great when shooting video? Is it reliable?

[dnutby]

Hey Roger, really enjoying your videos! Do you also do wildlife photography and have looked into the RF 100-400mm? It's a really intriguing lens!

[muhammadluqmankhan]

I have been hearing that this combo produces either out of focus or soft images.. what's your take on that

[johntorp]

35mm is a nice focal length! nice review 👍

[samt]

Awesome Roger. If you are not using your M6 mark ii anymore, why not do a giveaway contest?

[lucianoniscu]

My 35mm hunt the focus a lot on my R7.... Don't know what to do...

[Iron_Acker]

I'm really sorry but it is not possible to get closer than 0, 17m with an apsc cam. It just looks bigger because of the crop, ... Most of us will know about that, but basically it's wrong to say you can get closer to the subject, ... 😉
