That's a bit disappointing. I had expected the RF lens would be a significant improvement over the old "nifty fifty" but given I had an adapter "thrown in" with my RF mount camera purchase, I can't justify the cost of the newer lens - I might as well continue to use my "old" EF 50 mm. This review has saved me £200 though, so thanks!
The adapter is a must, i can't comprehend why Chris considered the price in the comparison, it opens the lens selection greatly, so it is actually better to have the adapter than only buying RF lenses.
@@Al.j.Vasquez Not to mention the aftermarket adapters. You can have one for around £35 which makes me use my old lens :) (Initially I was tempted to get the RF version but not after this review :) Thanks!)
same here, as owner of the EF 50mm 1.8 i see no reason to buy the RF and surely not for 225€
@@gyszabolcs yes e.g. MK-EFTR from Meike works fine with my EF lenses
I think this explains the idea of the Nikon Z 50mm f/1.8, which is very good and better than either of these lenses, while also being significantly more expensive.
Very interesting and professional comparison as usual. It would be good to see other EF/ RF comparisons: EF 24-105 F/4 vs RF 24-105 f/4, EF 16-35 f/4 vs EF 16-35 f/2.8 vs RF 15-35 f/2.8. To see how they perform in the R5
I would like to be very clear when I say that the corner performance of the new RF lens is tremendously improved over the EF version. Your chart only shows the tip of the iceberg here. When you take that lens outside and start to capture some street photography and wish to use f/1.8-2.8 on the EF lens, the ghosting causes unsightly edge bleeding and streaking that truly makes the shots unusable for many photographers. The RF version has done a magnificent job - within reason of its price - at cleaning this up. The lens is certainly a useable lens at f/1.8-2.8 now. It's not without its obvious shortcomings shown in your previous video, but my biggest complaint with the EF version was how smeary the lens was in the corners. Glad this is improved so much when it's your "everyday" lens you toss in the bag for vacation and leisure.
Great comparison video! Well done.
B&H should be shipping mine any year now
🤣🤣🤣
Hi Mike
@@mikes1984 lol
Lol.. mine too
I preordered from B&H the day it went up and it didn't ship on the released date as promised. Found a small camera store in Utah with a bunch in stock, ordered one and canceled my B&H order. Got it two days later.
Thanks for this comparison I’m still an amateur and I goofed up and bought the RF when I should’ve bought the EF so now I’m exchanging them and while I’ll be sad that the control ring is gone seeing that the image quality isn’t crazy different makes me feel better about getting it and I’ll still be getting good quality equipment for a decent price
Hi Chris, thanks? It‘s much appreciated! The slight difference you mentioned is visible on the 45 mpx sensor of the R5. But on the R6 with its 20 mpx the lenses are even more indistinguishable regarding image quality, aren’t they? Best wishes, Ralf
I find it somewhat disappointing that for Canon there is nothing in the middle. The lenses are either extremely expensive or cheap.
That’s my problem as well, kind of draws me to Nikon instead.
There will be 50mm 1.4 soon. Just need to wait few months.
Sigma will fill that gap. However, I have zero interest in a $1200 Sigma RF 50 f/1.4
@ This comment didn’t age well, unfortunately 😢
Here from the future, now that we know how limited 3rd part lenses will be now it's even worse unfortunately
Rf looks a little warmer in color too oddly. I typically prefer cooler colors. But, for portraits this should be a welcomed change. Thanks for all you do!
So yeah basically the RF 50mm f/1.8 STM is just an EF 50mm f/1.8 STM for RF mount without the need of adapter.
I was expecting the image quality to be much better than the EF version, but yeah I guess it'd be cost more than $200 if that happens.
Great review and comparison as always Chris.
My biggest hope was a noticeably better bokeh compared to the EF version. Well, just like Gary Oldman I am very disappointed. At least Canon could put in 8 or 9 blades instead of 7, but as I see even this nuance was too much to expect :(
Thanks so much for this and all your work!
Thank you for the comparison. As I already have the old lens and the adapter I'll save my money and use til old one. This will allow me to use the drop-in filters as well.
Well, this lens is without a doubt a welcome addition
into the RF system, though losing MF/AF switch is a bit sad decision, also my EF-M 22mm don't have one, and I miss that very often.
Thank you a lot! Your review is great! Very easy to understand and make a decision!))
Ef mount lenses are quite good enough, actually. Nice and neat review.
Thanks for another world's best lens review!
Chris, thanks so much for your review. At some point I will support you on patreon. I don´t know what I would do without your channel...
Chris. The focus breathing looks to change the effective field of view to about 40mm at one extreme
Still not fuji sharp, but definitely great for the money! I guess the extra 2-3 elements in the xc/xf35 are up to something..
I love how much scripture you get away with in your review shots! :D keep up the good work
You should compare the 50mm EF 1.4 vs RF 1.8
Very good and short comparsion with the most important things. Well, I don't know which one will I chose. This little extra performance seems nice to have, but I don't know if it is worth double price. It would be truly double price in my case, since I bought my RP with the adapter in kit, so it would be nice to use some day instead of leaving it to the dust. On the other hand I really want to buy a Canon EF 100mm f/2 next year, so the adapter won't be unused anyway. Meh, I really need a few more sleeps...
It’s a smaller and lighter lens setup for RF Mount. That reason alone is why I got it. Looks great on my RP. And on my R6 it had IBIS as a bonus. If you just care about IQ then I agree with a lot of y’all for not getting it.
Hello Christopher! I don't know if you intend to test the RF 85mm f/2 macro, but if you will, could you please do some kind of comparsion with the Tamron 85mm f/1.8 VC and the Samyang 85mm f/1.4 (EF or RF, doesn't really matter)? Also, I don't know if you own it or not, but an EF 100mm f/2 revisit would be a great addition too.
Quite a different result to the Nikon Z mount 50mm, then, where the new Nikkor is a significant improvement over the F mount version. Of course, Canon and Nikon priced their new lenses with that in mind.
I have the EF 50mm 1.4. Wondering if RF version would be better since native to EOS R system and newer.
So if you already have the EF version of the lens and are moving over to the mirrorless body then, for 1/2 the price of the new lens you can get the adapter and have about 90%-95% of what the new lens offers. Thanks 👍🏾
Same lens different mount, I'll hold on to my ef50mm-stm. In my opinion it's not worth the extra money!
You're wrong. One has EF written on it, the other RF!
@@villageblunder4787 How did I missed that 😂😂😂
Faced with the choice, I’ll sell the EF cheap and by the RF.. the hassle of carrying /using the adapter makes the RF worth switching. Alas, I’m not able to replace all the EF glass. If I win the lotto...
Not 100% same.. the RF has PMo aspherical lens that helps to reduce chromatic aberration and provides high-image quality even at the periphery of the image.
That's why the RF is better in the corner, making the new nifty-fifty more awesome for compact setup.
@@vinvanid Personally, it is not worth buying the RF since I already own the EF STM and I'm really happy with it. My corners are super sharp and have not noticed any noticeable chromatic aberration on my 50mm EF STM.
Thanks for the comparison. I think Canon really should bring back the 50mm f/1.4 lens or if they want to make an exclusive distinction - *_a 45mm f/1.4 at a price of say $499 or $599._*
I would appreciate that as well a bit, but coming from a 50 1.4 USM (over 10 years used) and using later the SMALLER and noticable lighter 1.8.... just NO, a more affordable 1.2"non L" or better not at all.
i would rather hope for a compact, optically simple 35mm 1.4 APS-C even without stabilizer (as a pseudo 50 prime)
I just picked up the STM because I can use it on my R5 and my 5D "Classic", don't think I'll use it much on the R5 but a great walkaround for the 5D!
recently bought the canon R8 to get back into photography, already had the EF 50mm lens + multiple other EF lenses so for me it made sense to get an EF-RF adapter and save a tiny bit of money at least until I can afford some nicer RF lenses!
Plz tell me wil the old stm lens work with the canon r5 12 fps and 20 fps burst modes ???
Great review
I think RF 1.8 is the best old design 50mm lens now. I would really like to see 50 1.4 performed in the same style. Just update of EF 50 1.4 with all modern technologies, but fundamentally in the old design and not a 12-13 elements monster like Zeiss Otus/Sigma Art (Moreover, canon already have such a monster in the form of 50 1.2).
great comparison
I will keep my EF 50mm 1.8 and adapt it for now. If it breaks I will get a new RF mount one, but this sucker has been on and off my cameras for the last decade and still doing its job well, so we will see.
I'm getting this lens shortly, for my RP. Extremely excited! 😊
Same here
Just got it. It fits/feels great on the RP. I’m going to keep that lens on often for personal shooting and playing around. I have an R6 also. I’m happy with it. Finally a small and light lens setup!
Do you have the EF 50 F1.4 USM to compare the the new RF lens?
Great review ! Waiting for comparision Canon RF 24-70 & EF 24-70
In this case EF is better in almost every area. Lighter, cheaper, same resolution plus less vignetting (RF vignetting is huge - 1 EV higher vignetting).
@ www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx?Lens=1415&Camera=1221&Sample=0&FLI=3&API=0&LensComp=787&CameraComp=1221&SampleComp=0&FLIComp=4&APIComp=0 in this test, RF version, looks much better, especially in corners...
I like adapting my EF lenses to Nikon Z and Sony E mount too , with impressing results. With this flexibility I have no motivation to change to R mount versions.
This is a bummer. Now I don't know how the results would be, say, on the R6 or even the R, but I was hoping for more. But hey, at least Canon are keeping their value among their nifty fifty users/first-time manual shooters.
Hello, if I have a rebel t7, would I need a EF mount to use with EF mount?
The new RF is a good improvement. Although more expensive, the RF system is new and the converter costs money. I think it looks better than just reusing the old EF glass.
With adapter you can use all other ef lenses and all third party lens whereas the price cheaper in good IQ
If you could review the new Canon 85mm F2.0 RF that would be awesome! :D
That’s what I want to see
The 85mm f2 looks great - I think it’ll be my next lens for my R6
@@robjamesvideo I'm probably gonna get it too... I miss shooting with my 50mm on a APS-C sensor, that makes an effective 80mm. I'm sure the 85mm is going to feel like home with my RP! With IS, good wide-open acutance/sharpness, compactness, RF mount, feels like a no brainer!
Me to
Hey, just a remark on the adapter... its basically unavailable at this point, you cant get it anywhere in switzerland its like canon ran out of a hollow tube :O
This is so funny!
try to get adapter from MK-EFTR , costs about 50€ only and works great.
@@gabrielmaria2762 especially since TIL - its really just a tube with connector forwarding, apparently the EF "information" is stored in the cameras firmware, not in the adapter.... sigh... oh canon
@@Koi-Koi-Koi thanks, but ... its also not availably, not only does no retailer in CH stock that adapter or even offer it, but even amazon wont ship it to switzerland TT
@@Axonteer You could really try any Aliexpress adapter, they're so cheap.
I wonder how Canon is doing this. I heard it was impossible to shrink lens sizes for mirrorlens unless it was below 35mm.
I already had an EF 50 1.8, but this last black Friday, refurbs were on sale. I bought an RP body for $600, RF24-105 f4-7.1 IS for $120, and the RF 50 1.8 for $80. The EF 50 1.8 was selling for same amount.
I also bought an EF 85 1.8 for $180 and a EF 55-250 IS for $100.
Everything basically new condition. It was a good day.
RF 50 1.8 for 80$? WOW! Like this i think about buying one again lol.
I sold some months ago my EOS RP for 750€ with rest warranty and my RF 50 1.8 for 160€, both used but with little bit rest warranty.
Luckily i lost within about 2 years "only" 200€ with the purchase of the RP + RF 50, the actual 2nd hand prices are a lot worse.
Image at f/4 for old EF version is slightly out of focus (visible on 27' 4K monitor; image at f/2.8 was lot sharper).
Nice review but IMO why bother with another nifty! I already have the adapter for my RP and use the EF nifty with it though I did purchase the RF 35 since at $499 it's the most affordable lens for the Canon RF mount!
4:24 what's this diagram called ? N how does it help exactly ?
A beginner's Question 😊
For people already have EF other lenses and Adapter, the EF lens works out to be an advantage. I have a tight lens carry bag for 100-400L without the adapter. When I am using EF 50mm, the adapter stays on camera. But if I upgrade to RF 50mm, I have to find space for my 100-400L with the adapter. The smaller size on camera makes very little real world difference.
"The smaller size on camera makes very little real world difference."
Basically nothing, to be punctual.
Does the old lens hood fits on the new 50 mm?
I like it but you can get the Tamron 45mm f1.8 VC USD for like $100 more and for people with shaky hands like me, it would be better. Not to mention it is sharper that these.
Yes 🎅🏼🎄
It simply means for me with an R5 there is no need for upgrading from the EF version to the RF version - for this little difference.
If they had made the autofocus motor silent I could have happily bought the new one. But as it's just as loud and the front extends when focusing, no thanks. Also to my eyes the image quality is basically the same as the old EF STM-version. Thanks for the comparison tho, as always your video was spot on. Shame on Canon for trying to sell us basically the same old lens with a different mount.
I just got both.
remarkably similar IQ. and the adapter cost gets spread across the use of all EF lenses, so it's not really 100 for the adapter if you take other lenses into consideration
So this new one i can use with my M6 mark ii?
I've seen some people sell the the old 50mm for 35€ in Spain, 1/5 of the price of the new lens over 10% improvement....
I have the EF 50 and 85mm 1.8 lenses on my R. I use the control ring adaptor, and have taken pictures with each new RF lens, and think the adapted EF lenses are better, both in quality of picture and price.
Quality content
The new lens looks much better!
I bought an adapter for 45.00 and works excellent.
Please help me out!! If I have the canon EOS Rebel T3 what lens should I buy, and be able to use without the adapter with my type of camera? Would the RF still be able to work without the adapter.. or do you think I’d still need an adapter either way.. I’m having trouble! I’m also kind of confused because of how old my camera is!?
This video was also very helpful for my confidence in getting one of these lens! I just need to know if it’ll be compatible!?
If i have the old 50mm 1.8 II there should be more differnces betwen the lenses. The Sigma 50 1.4 Art is pretty big and with the Adapter even bigger. If the Sigma was a native rf it would be a no brainer
Hi there. I need an urgent help, I bought this RF-50mm f.1.8 STM for my Canon M50. I was got so excited that I didn’t hear that it can be mounted directly to “R” series, not on my Canon M50. Which adaptor should I buy to use this? I’m so confused as there are adaptors only and adaptor with speedbooster (I need the cheapest one to use this 50mm lens) maybe in the future I can buy the speedbooster. I’m just beginner and still trying to get around my camera. Thank you. A link will be highly appreciated.
No adaptor will do that for you. You have to sell your lens (or your camera!)
I'm a little disapointed. I hoped that RF will be much better :/
I think that's the problem with Mirrorless in general. They likely could've remade a lot of these lenses on the dslr mounts
the RF does have better bokeh, the reviewer is really not being critical here
The EF is perfect. How could the RF be any better?
@@villageblunder4787 It is very far from perfect.
@@petercarpowitz7007 for the price and the size it's just perfect.
Could you redo a review of the classic Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8! But on the R5 with an EF-RF adapter!
The Tamron 28-75mm EF version doesn't work properly with the EF-RF adapter. It only works in manual focus.
@@bharathghanta Oh no. You sure?
@@alexanderh2720 Yes. Tamron themselves announced that the lens won't autofocus and they won't be issuing a firmware update to fix it.
@@bharathghanta Thanks for the heads up. Haha, it’s literally the only lens on that list of unsupported adapted on RF-system. And I already ordered it. Dammit
Hi guys!
I just started and i'm so excited. I'm only shooting JPEG and i wanted to ask about distortion. Should i use in-camera corrections on my photos? I am not editing them so i want to be as good as possible from default.. It will dicrease my quality of the photos? Will be the sharpness affected?
Greetings and cheers fellas!
Use the corrections.
@@TheVFXAssault yeah, thanks . but wat about picture quality?
@@cosmindanes9435 There's not really a reason why you'd lose any picture quality yousing the built in corrections. I do highly recomend you consider playing around with RAW files as it makes a massive difference, even if you do very small edits. :)
@@TheVFXAssault thank you. I am really thinking that without edit, there is no really chance to take great pictures..
Really helpful. I’m a registered blind guy who’s just got a 2nd hand EOSR. Would you be willing to answer a couple questions about lens choices please? Can I DM or email or ...
if you want modern result, sharp. AF function go for RF. if you want smoother and vintage look go for EF
It’s worth nothing that you can get an adapter with a control ring built into it which would effectively give the old lens a focus and control ring simultaneously.
And also the AF/MF switch which the RF version doesn't have.
This lens is great for those who do not have the EF version or is completely new to the Canon ecosystem.
I did a preview video of the new lens and people did not like that I said there's not much a difference. I will share your video link so they can see from a pro lens reviewer.
I can use just one of them with my sony, easy choice for me :)
They both sound like cats purring. :D
I bet that Canon prices the RF nifty fifty almost exactly the same as EF nifty fifty + (1st party) EF-RF adaptor just to make people who are new to the system eventually choose the newer lens. I think it should be cheaper. Tbf, there are some quality improvements, the control ring, and the smaller overall package. But still, the IQ improvements are almost negligible for casual users, the focus ring/control ring (the same goes for any cheaper RF lenses) as being the same knob is rather counterintuitive and slows you down.
In the end I settled with EF 50mm f1.8 and 3rd party adaptor. Eat that Canon.
What adapter? just the basic 40-60$ adapter or a proper Filter Adapter?
I got the Meike... 140€ with ND and clear insert and another 45€ for the polarizer insert.
Under 200€ for EVERY filter, In canon terms this would have been 500€ ND + adapter, 180€ polarizer and 99€ clear insert (nearly 800€ for even WORSE FILTERS)
What makes the "in between lens and sensor" Filters of ANY kind so interesting even as a mount or lens clip... they are optically not as demanding as filters for the front of the lens, so even the 45€ polarizer or the "cheap" V-ND are pretty good, no need for 400€+ filters and they work with EVERY EF lens
But i also have to say - i use mostly just the polarizer or the clear insert as sensor protection when changing EF lenses, absolutely worth it
Why didn't you do a video recording of the focus sound like you've done on 35mm? The 35mm is noisy in photo mode but nearly silent during video mode.
It's in the dedicated RF 50mm review, check it out
@@jan.tichavsky He didn't though. It was a recording in photo mode, not an actual video recording.
Disappointing performance from this new RF at double the price. Any differences will be explained by sample variation and the only advantage is the size with an adapter on the older lens. I'd save my money and stick with EF
yeah!, I don´t believe people getting this lens for the first time would pick the EF version, however I also don´t think owners of the old EF that at this point should have the adapter would upgrade to this lens
You get free adapter for new Canon RF camera so it's still the cheaper option
No one will be upgrading probably, but if someone wants a focal length they don't already have, it is probably best to go with the RF version due to the advantages. Let's keep in mind that all the RF lenses are also basically macro lenses too. RF makes it possible to do EVERYTHING with one or two lenses. If I was a new camera buyer and had an RF camera, I'd buy the RF 85mm and use that as my only lens and be able to do everything from portraits to street to landscape to macro. Compare that to the 85mm EF version where its minimum focusing distance is 3ft! Even though RF is more expensive, you'd save more in the long run by needing less lenses.
Well, the adapter works for all EF lenses, so many people will have it anyway. I suspect no one would invest in it just for the "nifty fifty", as it would make no sense of course.
Of course it does make sense. I bought the adapter in order to use the Ef 50mm with the M50
So if you were to buy more then one EF lense for your R camera it would make sense to buy EF version since its half the price for 10% better
Note the new nifty 50 is ONLY for the RF version. That means it's rear element can be closer to the sensor. This is a big deal for lenses < 65mm or so. It's why, back in the day, the 50s for the Leica M were better than any 50 an SLR manufacturer could produce. In other words, the fewer constraints on a lens design, the better the lens. Why primes are better than zooms...
Given the aspherical element and "better coatings", I would have thought it would be significantly better than the older, constrained, SLR design. It wasn't. That said, any version of the the nifty 50 is *almost* as good at f/6.3 as the atmospherically priced Zeiss Otis 55mm f/1.4 at f/6.3. You don't always get what you pay for!
In the beginning was the Word! Alright!
Excellent review as always, many thanks! I'd just add that the EF model has the advantage of being compatible with Canon DSLR cameras. I use both EF and RF systems and, after seeing your comparison, I concluded that the benefit of the RF version is marginal and I'd prefer to keep my EF lens. Cheers!
I wouldn't consider it marginal. It's basically as sharp as the $4,000 Zeiss Otus is on EF.
Not for me though. If you like it, go for it. :-)
AF speed???
Well, it seems the Sigma Art is still the best 50mm lens that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
Word, it's my go-to prime. So crazy good even wide open.
等左甘奈得個吉!
It's all about diamonds or stripes!
What a missed opportunity. Would be interesting to see this compared with the Sony and Nikon as well as the Samyang 45 1.8.
Can you challenge RF50 & RF35? Many people are considering these 2 small lens
There is of course the EF to RF adapter with a control ring. Which someone might get for use with many lenses.
I have the 40 pancake and while not exactly the same, it's close enough for now.
That particular adapter costs a lot more money, though
Using an adapter with the 40mm kind of defeats the point of it being compact, by not making it compact anymore.
EF 50 is for APCS, thus not taking adventage of full frame sensor. Is this not so??
No, the EF 50 1.8 is a full frame lens. All EF lenses are. It's EF-S lenses that are for APS C sensors/cameras.
All EF lenses can be used on APSC cameras like canon 400d/rebel, 80d, 7d and so on.
But EF-S lenses should not be used on full frame cameras like 6d, 5d and 1d. Because they are designed to be closer to the sensor they could potentially damage a full frame camera.
@@10pm63 Oh you are right. I had to cancel the order of RF 50 because I have EF 50. Haha
@@pianosfilipem Yeah, if you already own a 50mm, the only reason to buy the RF version is if you don't want to use the EF to RF adaptor.
I just got mine an hour ago!! I have to finish my edits thought before I can open it. Haha.
how did you find it
@@markshirley01 It’s great! I just wish it was weather sealed like my Ls. I shoot mostly wide open so I’m impartial to most aberrations and imperfections.

2 Items, please:
1- the EF is not a 30 year old design. It was redesigned 5 years ago, which is when they got rid of the plastics lens mount, replacing it with a metal one, and when i got the STM motor, replacing the USM motor.
2- in the graphic comparing the 2, shouldn't you also list that the RF has no adapter for the EF-class DSLRs? If you're going to ping the EF for needing an adapter for RF, then shouldn't you also ping the RF for not being able to fit an EF? Otherwise, you're implying that the EF class has somehow gone away, yet there's an awful lot of us that are happy with our DSLRs and have no intention of switching over.
Thanks,

Is it good for astronomy photography with canon RP ?
You may want to go with something a little wider for traditional astrophotography. Many use somewhere around a 14mm, but that is totally up to you. Almost any inexpensive (and many expensive) lens will give you some Trouble near the edge of the photos. Rokinon makes an ef 14mm f2.8 that is tmanual for around $200 I think. They make an RF version as well for around $300.
@@toejamr1 the 18mm f/2.8 version is way better though. Such a "distortion free" lens compared to how wide it is. I am so mad, because they don't make an EF or RF mount version 😡
I was disappointed that the ef-m line didnt have a 50mm prime lens like they knew it wouldn't last or didnt care about it.
That series was just for kids trying to learn.
I NEED A MOUNT FOR THIS LENS CAN YOU SEND ME A AMAZON LINK WITH YOUR AFFLIATE LINK ? THANK YOU. I HAVE A T5REBEL
They should repacked 1.4 this way and make it little simpler and smaller and sell that at around 350$ instead. It is almost 30 years old and should been updated long time ago. This one is just too little for double the cost and you can use it just on RF mount and nothing else. I wouldn't ever buy this unless i get in kit with the new camera or something. Not even over old plastic nifty 50.
