For these tests, I used a mirrorless camera, the Canon EOS R, set at its challenging resolution of 30.3 megapixels. By using a mirrorless camera, any potential lens decalibration issues are resolved. That is how the tests turned out. I am not aware of any other issues the lenses might have had, but I'm fairly certain there weren't any. Either way, I wouldn't be concerned about the f/1.4's sharpness performance; it is very good. The two lenses are very similar. For my tests, I photographed an A3 printed image and performed heavy cropping in the corner. In real life, these sharpness differences are extremely small. I wouldn't worry about the sharpness of an Canon 50mm f/1.4; it is a good lens.

What about it?

Great! Enjoy your Olympus 17mm f/1.8 lens!

Yes, something like that - very close performance to the EF-M 22mm f/2.

Unfortunately not, it is a lens for Micro Four Thirds sensor cameras. The S5IIX is a Full Frame camera and works with L Mount lenses.

It will work if you have the EF to EOS R mount adapter.

I just went & got the R8 instead

The R8 is definitely better, enjoy it! If you want to use EF lenses (Canon Full Frame DSLR lenses), you'll still need the EF to EOS R adapter - if not, just get native RF mount lenses for your R8, where no adapter is needed. All the best!

I believe you made the right choice! When compared to the Canon G7X Mark II, the Sony RX100 is good enough starting with the Mark III version, and the Ricoh GR doesn't have a flip screen (so less flexibility). Enjoy your Canon camera!

That is also a nice lens. I'm planning to get a 14-150mm too, although I consider it more of a lens for vacations and travel photography. What I had in mind when referring to the 17mm as an everyday photography lens (besides its versatile wide angle and fast aperture) is its small size, which makes the camera more portable-one of the main benefits of an MFT camera. With a 14-150mm, the camera is less portable, but it is indeed a good lens.

Yes, this lens is compatible with the X-T100, it will work.

Thank you!

It will work if you have the EF to RF mount adapter

@@apertureatlas if using a mount adapter, will it affect or degrade the focus speed and image quality of the r50?

​@@unknownplayrs2023 If you buy the Canon EF-EOS R Mount Adapter, there are no optical elements in it, so image quality will not be affected (or very minimally). I don't know about focus speed, but I used the EF to EOS M adapter and didn't notice any issues. So everything should be good as long as you get the adapter made by Canon.

@@apertureatlas so informative, thanks so much brother❤️

Oh also one more thing, I'm debating between getting a canon r50 vs a sony a6400, in 2024, which would be the best for photography? rarely shoot videos ​@@apertureatlas

Maybe they will release one (hopefully)

@@apertureatlas yes the S9 certainly calls for it.

Yes, the RF 24-105mm f/2.8L is a nice one. It's very expensive, though, but nice.

I would also choose Tamron over this. Better image quality, has stabilisation, smaller and lighter. Have to buy Canon very carefully, especially on internet. Most have been heavily used so there is big proportion of them with damage (internal - affecting image quality, external- bent rims).

​@@rolandsv8 mpb and keh have been my places for EF lenses.

Mine performs very well on my Sony A7ii, i am still using it for all of my studio and event photography.

@@dizzydomingo7436 Nice! Glad to hear that!

The older lens does has it characteristics love mines minus this lens extends when zoominG but it worth it. Got mines for $400 in FB marketplace.

@@ZsuzexZux Great!

Thank you! I am planning on getting an Olympus 12-40mm f/2.8 or a Panasonic 12-35mm f/2.8, but I always appreciate the versatility of a 14-140mm. It's great for traveling, and an MFT camera with its small lenses is ideal for travelers!

Both are good. I believe the f/1.4 focuses faster, not to mention that it lets in more light, so I would get the f/1.4 version.

I've met people who have had one gor years without issues. Some don't like that apparently the focusing motor is prone to failing, according to online forums. The STM is said to be better in some optical aspects and the 1.4 is said to have a bit more charisma of its own. Neither is a bad choice. I had the 50mm f1.8 and loved it. Sharp af at 2.8 too.

I don't use filters that much and definitely didn't buy one for this Panasonic lens. I see that it takes a 46mm filter. My suggestion is to avoid the cheapest ones and get one from a well-known brand with good reviews. You can find alternatives and reviews with a Google search, so please check there, as I am not savvy when it comes to ND filters.

Unfortunately not, it is mentioned in the video - it was made to work only on Canon's APS-C sensor dslrs.

Yes, 730g. For today's standards, it is a bit heavy, considering how much less APS-C mirrorless cameras weigh. However, at least it is not as heavy as the 5D Mark II (904g).

Yes

On Olympus mirrorless cameras, yes.

Nice! Enjoy it!

The mount holds up pretty well. I have used even heavier lenses, such as the first version of a Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 L (1kg) and the Sigma 100-400mm Contemporary (1.16kg), on a Canon M50 with an adapter without any damage. I have even held the whole setup with one hand. However, it is recommended not to wiggle the camera too much in this situation. Most of the time, we place one hand on the lens and the other on the camera to balance the weight, so everything is fine.

Of course Panasonic LX100 II is better, it has a MFT Sensor that is almost 2x Larger. And indeed, if you have the budget, a Leica is even better.

The short answer is that you need both. The long answer depends on how far away is the stage, how crowded is the place (if you have space to move around). I assume that you have an APS-C sensor Canon camera, since the 24mm f/2.8 from this video will not work on Full Frame cameras - the list goes on. I would find a way to borrow both (especially if I were to be someone that never photographed in that scenario) and see what works out. There is also the option to borrow a fast zoom lens like a 24-70mm f/2.8, there are shops that offer rentals.

Yes, it will.

There are people on the internet, on forums, saying that this lens is splash/weather resistant; even a few not-so-popular websites say it, but there is no weather sealing gasket near the mount, so I wouldn't classify it as a weather sealed lens. On the dpreview, a more serious website, it says that it has "some degree of weather-sealing" , so its not the real deal. In contrast, The LUMIX G VARIO 12-60mm F3.5-5.6 ASPH. (indeed) has weather sealing because it has the gasket.

The two represent the focus motor/technology. STM is the cheaper version, USM is the more "pro" and expensive version. It depends on your budget. Newer USM lenses (from the RF mount, for example) are definitely better than STM . USM, it is said, is a more quiet and precise focusing system. Hope this helps! All the best!

@@apertureatlas thanks a lot ❤️ I bought usm yesterday. Let’s see how it works 😊

Perhaps it's because the OM-1 MK II was just released in January 2024.

At F6.3 you have the optimal performance. Instead of F8.

You made a good decision! While the 77D is also good, the 80D is better in all aspects. Enjoy it! Cheers!

Thank you!

Yes, it is and the price range goes from 45 to max. 125 USD on the used market. They don't sell it anymore in camera stores, so that should be the correct price on the used market. Cheers!

True

Yes, you need the EF to EOS M adapter, otherwise the lens won't even fit - different systems/different mounts.

@@apertureatlas wonderful, I appreciate your timely response! Thank you. 👍

Sorry to hear that it got stuck, but at least it is a versatile lens that you can use for everyday shooting. The 50mm f/1.8 STM is nice too.

Yes, I admitted in the comments on some previous videos that I got my inspiration from Christopher Frost. However, I leave my own mark by giving structure and always covering those 12 aspects. Regarding the sharpness chart, I worked on it for two days straight. I did the best I could, arranging the lines, the photos, and so on. I don't know yet how I can make it better, but in my opinion, it is decent.

@@apertureatlas No problem everybody takes inspiration somewhere to start, your work is good 👍 As for the chart, it seems the resolution is too low we don't see the differences, you need a bigger panel and find the appropriate print size and shooting distance. Also you could remove those magnets, they're distracting. Btw I personnaly think the chart of C. Frost is a little too simple and could offer a bit more information like a sagittal meridional patterns mid frame for example.

Thank you for the good suggestions! It is an A3-sized print, and the magnets keep it attached without any lumps. The quality of the print is good; they had excellent equipment. A bigger print and some good glue might do the trick. I'll think about it. Thanks again! I appreciate it!

This year, Canon, through one of their chief executives, mentioned that they will allow third-party lenses on their R cameras. Unfortunately, this statement was ambiguous - it’s not clear if or when we will indeed get Tamron, Sigma, or Samyang lenses for R cameras. In my opinion, not letting other brands produce lenses for them was one of Canon's biggest mistakes. Hopefully, things will get back to normal, as they should have been in the first place. Regarding the 35-150mm lens, the 35mm is not wide enough for group shots in tight spaces. The 24-70mm f/2.8 still remains the most versatile for weddings.

@@apertureatlas I use Sony and I love that various companies compete with each other to produce the best lenses at lower prices than their competitors. I think Canon doesn't want to join this competition because they fear losing profit, which is a legitimate concern, but people aren't foolish. For example, I have a Sigma 85mm DG DN Art lens that's laser sharp. I don't believe anyone with common sense would buy the Canon alternative for twice the price. I'm glad Sony still has challengers because brands like Nikon and Fuji use Sony sensors in most of their cameras, increasing their exposure to Sony. It wouldn't be good for the market if this balance tipped even further in Sony's favor.

There is quite a significant 'battle' between Sony and Canon fans, and from my observations, Sony fans are more vocal. This is neither good nor bad. I admit, I am more inclined to choose Canon, but I have avoided buying an R generation camera because I do not see good lens options (their mistake). I still won't buy an R camera until I see Sigma/Tamron/Samyang lenses available. Given Canon's greediness, it's understandable that Sony users are more vocal-they have a point, and they are right.
