What RF Lenses are on your list? If you could only have ONE lens, what would you go with?

[PitchCraftHub]

Dude... I just stumbled on this video after following you for a while... It's absolutely amazing how much you've improved your skills as videographer, editor and colorist in a year! Keep at it!

[deanbrandon]

You nailed my concern about which RF to get. I currently have an old 17-85, which is perfect. I find I use the wide angle more often than the 85mm. So, my first thought is to upgrade and get the 15-35. Then I am stuck, but I like your sequence of going big with the 70-200 next. I don’t like the idea of switching lenses too often, or carrying around all that glass. For everyday use, I think the 28-70 is “ok” but, for family gatherings inside, the wide angle is what I use a lot, it’s, also good for wide angle landscapes. I’ll have to start with the 15-35mm.

This video has heen amazing and informative. Been wanting clarification on the different RF lenses canon has and i think I learned everything here

[hadenfirlej]

one of the best vids ive seen to help my RF lens plan!

[ShotBySoutoo]

Amazing Video.
I have a different thought about where all photographers should start. I think that for learning (not needing all of this expensive equipment) you should start with a prime lenses such as the 50mm 1.8 or the 35mm, because you will learn to move, having a flow while shooting, not being in the same place missing opportunities (not having the zoom, obligates you to move and make your subject fit better in your composition). After you learn how to use a prime lenses and you can move very well, thats when you should by a zoom lenses, and trust me, you will move as well! because you are already used to do that, and its very good.

Great video! I'm coming at it from a very different angle than you return my R6, started out with the 50 mm, then the 35 mm working my way up! My EF 'L' collection of lens are still amazing adapted.

[Muse]

Bought the R6 with the 24-70 f2.8 and love the lens! Looking to then buy the 70-200mm f2.8. I'd love the 85mm 1.2 as third lens. Great video!

[RobertoCresto]

Rileally liked this video! I bricked my 60D and was considering the R6 or R6... In the end i went with the R7 but I am planning on buying full frame lenses bit by bit and then finally switch to full frame!

[dylanfulmer]

Hey Anthony, this video was great! I liked and subscribed. I love your energy and vibe. Very informative and I appreciate the b roll.

The set up I ended up with is the 15-35 2.8, 50 1.2, and 70-200 2.8. I thought about getting the 28-70 f2 but I have never owned a system and not have a 50mm prime so that's my middle length. More lens changes depending on whats going on but the 50mm 1.2 might be the best 50 I've ever used. Thing is absolutely nuts with the quality it produces.

[RogerZoul]

The 100-500 is my most used RF lens, but i also have the 100 mm f2.8 macro, the 35 f1.8, the 16mm f2.8, and the 24-105 f4. And a bunch of EF lenses.

[ThreeCeeProductions]

RF28-70 f2 is a great lens. Since you have the 15-35 it is a perfect compliment. Prime look w/zoom convenience. Fast 2.0 it gives nice bokeh and more control in low light. My favorite RF lens.

[gregfisher]

I have the 16-35 F4 EF and the 100 mm 2.8 EF that I use on my EOS R with the adaptor which is fantastic! My wife has the 15-35 2.8 RF which is amazing ! We also have the 24-70 2.8, 100-500 F4.5- 7.1, 70-200 F4. we also have the 35 RF F4 macro.

[ahjax]

I got the 14-35 F4 and 50mm 1.2 and 70-700mm F4 as my "trinity" for a beginner setup to my first every full frame R6 M2 :) Hope I made a good choice w these 3..

[robgerety]

Thanks for this. Its nice to hear people explain how they make these decisions. I've gradually assembled the RF 15-35 2.8 L, 24-70 2.8 L, 70-200 2.8 L, 100-500 L, 50 1.2 L, 85 1.2 L, and the Laowa 90 2.8 2:1 macro. I have one body - R5.

[schwalleyf]

Very good video. I have the same lenses for my R5. You do know on the 24 to 105 you have to update the firmware. It fixed a lot of problems. When you use it as movie mode or for that matter stills. Set the correction to on for all three options. It basically sets the profile in the camera without using Lightroom.
Good luck your a good instructor.

I have the R6 with the 24-105mm f4, nifty fifty and 100-400mm~ which basically covers most of my needs for now.

While I do dream of lenses like the 28-70mm f2 or the 85mm f1.2~ I am quite happy with what I have right now, and will wait untill i have more room in my budget, to upgrade any further :3

[huxcry]

I just added an 85mm 1.2 DS to my wishlist for Xmas.
Just in case 😅

I really like all the images you showed in this video. Beautiful work.
If I had to choose ONE lens, it would be the RF 28-70.

[meisterhubert]

In the EF world I had the 5D2 with a 17-40 F4, 50 F1.4, and 100 F2.8 Macro and was super happy.
When I switched to the R6 I got the 15-35, 50 1.8, and kept the EF 100 Macro.
However, as a hobbyist wo likes to take mainly pictures of friends and vacations, the 15-35 was rather annoying. Now I switched to the RF 24-105 L for vacations, I use the 50 1.8 if I go to parties or meet outside with friends and I am looking for an ultra wide prime lens if I have the time for landscape. Because that was the issue with the 15-35, I either used it at 15mm for landscape or switched to an other lens. So I guess I can just have a prime for these rare occasions. I do like 35mm in general, but then F2.8 is normally not enough for an image with 3D-pop. Also, since the lens is very big and you need to get close, it kind of makes people uncomfortable. This is also why I prefer the 50 1.8 over the 1.2 at the moment. For the future a small, ultrasharp RF 50 1.4L USM would be perfect.
Long story short - I understand why people go for the F2.8 zooms as professionals. But as a hobbyist, even though money isn't the issue, I do not really see the point in carrying the big zoom lenses.
