#RF85mmF2 #irenerudnyk #portraitphotography
1.2 bokeh is insanely creamy. But actually i prefer 2.8 bokeh for portraits as it gives detail to the environment but still gives a nice separation.
feel the same way, gonna order this lense soon
Interesting response, I just got the 2.8 and need to test it out :)
1.2 wayyyyy more professional. Not even close
@@dannymolns3573 no you need at least f0.5 or better f0.002 to be professional. Should have only a single cell on the face in focus.
The 85mm F2 Macro was my first lens I purchased with my Canon EOS RP. It works wonders! :)
It’s a great combo
This was my first lens, all the videos on UA-cam say it's good enough, or just bad. Especially with the video capabilities. But I've used it so much and I think it's amazing and underrated for its price point. Thank you for sharing this video!
I haven’t watched any other reviews for this lens and it’s so interesting seeing so many comments saying that other reviewers didn’t like it. I think it’s amazing especially for the price.
@@IreneRudnykI'm glad you agree, I think it's the settings. I have mine on portrait, servo, with continous focus on. Works like a charm, rarely any missed shots
That’s like when people run scientific tests with a Helios 44-1… a creative lens.
Is this going to be as good as the $2200 pro counterpart? Of course not, but I’ll be any amount of money 99.9% of people won’t be able to tell the difference. What will stand out more is your ability as a photographer and your patience learning post.
@@sammariofan how is the video on macro mode?
It was the fact you paired it with the RP that took this over the edge thank you! I have the RP
this lens is $350 refurbished from canon during black friday, and other holiday sales. R5 body price has also come down to $2200. amazing how much you can save if you just wait a year.
compare to the prices on these two setups i can deffently live with the RP - 85MM F2 setup it looks fantastic .. Thank you for another great and informative video Irene , merry christmas from Denmark
Yes, the $5000 difference in setup you can spend making lots of photos and learn & grow as a photographer.
Love the review and the shots. Any lens in Irene's hands creates magical photos. This reminds me, I've got to learn how to shoot and compose better and shoot more and often. Great video and keep up the great work
❤️❤️❤️ I’m glad this inspired you to go out and shoot more!
Nice to find the shrimp guy here, checking for macro lenses 😊
@@RedGalaxyFishbone awesome!!
I prefer F2.0-2.8 most of the time
You're my inspiration in my photography since 2018!!!
Great review, this is exactly what I was looking for! Although, I did like the bokeh and clarity with the 1.2 L lens I preferred the photos with the F2 lens. I like more the details in the background. With the price difference and macro, the F2 makes the most sense for my usage.
you are as always gorgeous👏👏👏 I instead opted for the viltrox rf 85 f1.8.... and I must tell the truth I was extraordinarily amazed by its quality and details, the only flaw is the focusing distance is not macro, but for the price it is a lens that does not have to hide in front of the big ones....
Can’t get it now in the uk 😢
Hello Irene! I'm still hanging on to my 5Diii and love it so much, these days I've been spending all my money on art supplies, but if I were to upgrade my camera, this cheaper combo you've shown here looks great! Thanks for the hard work putting this together, it was a beautiful video!
your camera is still perfectly capable. No need to upgrade your body
You’re very smart. If I had to do it again I never would’ve gone to mirrorless and kept my 5D III and my EF lenses
With this gorgeous model in front every lens signs even the cheapest 50mm 1.8 😍
Great video! But I have to say that I clearly prefer the Samyang 85mm f/1.4 to the Canon 85mm f/2 that was about the same price when I bought it. I use the Samyang on my RP and I absolutely love it. It´s really a shame that Canon has banned it and all other third party options. Although I had already planned to buy either the EOS R succesor or the R6 Mark II when they might come out next year, Canons decision to not allow any third party AF lenses will drive me to Sony after shooting Canon for over 15 years. It´s pretty sad.
I’m about right there with you. I have an r6 and an RP…. I’d like to transition over soon. What bodies are you thinking of, Sony wise?
I personally never used any third party lenses before but I’ve heard great things!
@@sprayfe For my type of photography (Events, Portraits, Architecture - so NO sports or wildlife) the a7IV seems to be quite ideal. I don´t need 20 fps but I totally apreciate 33MP. For the ergonomics and the possibly even better AF (although both are great) I would love to stay with Canon, but without third party lenses it´s sensless for me. I would probably get the Tamron 35-150 f/2-2.8 and the Samyang 85mm f/1.4 (that I have already for RF just getting it for Sony) with the a7IV.
@@IreneRudnyk The Samyang 85mm f/1.4 is really great for the money (I paid 599 €) and because of the f/1.4 at least bokeh wise way closer to the 85mm 1.2 L (not saying that it´s the same ;-)). Also I´m sure the Canon 85mm f/2 STM for 500$ is a great value, but I kind of guess that also you would prefer a 1.4 over a 2.0 if you couldn´t afford the 1.2 ;-). Keep up your great work, love your videos and I´ll keep watching them even when I switched to Sony ;-).
@Martin Will the Samyang 85mm 1.4 lens stop work with a Canon update?
I have the RP and this is the lens I plan to get next. Your video helped me come to the decision. Thanks you!
I seriously can't wait to get this camera lens! Just picked up an R8 about a month ago and it's time to upgrade the lens
Thought to sell my 85 f2 and invest all money in 50/85 f1.2, because the colors from the first one did not satisfy me. Now I understand that everything still depends on a photographer. Even the bokeh is changeable thanks to a distance between a model and a background. Thank you, Irene!
It's good to see you grow on youtube Irene. I just ordered my RP just for photos and this video makes me know i made the right choice.
Totally agree, people
Talk trash about this lens, but it gives me some of my fave shots
It’s so good actually!
One of my faves with this lens
Just got an eos R and i can’t wait to get this lens ❤
LMAO THAT GUY SAID NOPE 5:19
😂🤣🤣
Great vid.
PS: get a slingshot Camara strap for the secondary camera, much safer and comfortable😉
At 5:22 you made the poor guy change his route lol. Great photos by the way
If I want a softer background I will routinely do that in post processing, although it can get tricky and time-consuming around hair for instance. Given that, and the semi-macro function, I am inclined to the lighter f2 lens.
This lens and the sigma art 35mm 1.4 are my go to lenses.
Epic on RF 85mm f1.2 so softly
I‘m a Sony user and I love the f2 version of the 85mm and die price is on my side
Can this used on cannon r10
Brilliant video, very well done. Thank you so very much.
I love that you show the world we don't need L lens or expensive bodies to take good photos and canons budget lens and body line is amazing.
But doesn't mean i don't prefer the L version, i like my rf 85 1.2 ds XD
This video's, reflect your inner beauty of yours nature.. keep shooting..
Очень интересное сравнение. Спасибо Вам.
Hi, I'm very grateful for this comparison video and the bodies you used them on, but did you miss the RP + 1.2 combo or did I miss the moment. My point is whether the detail is done by the R5 and its amount of pix. or lens 1.2. When the test lens R6 + 2.0 arrived, the details and drawing looked perfect in this combination.
I decide to take my brother with my RP, I just don't know which is more worthwhile R6/R6MK2 or straight r5, I would like to use it even in poor light
The difference in color & DR is mainly the sensor when you compare these two bodies... the RP uses the old 6D mk2 sensor
I saw a color difference when I compared both lenses on the R5 as well
You looks an a angel in that lens....
In EF mount went for Tamron 85mm f1.8, and love this. Canon RF 85 f2.0 look good, think at price point I’d want to compare against 3rd party but unfortunately not an option in RF. F2.0 not so reasonable in UK £649, so equivalent to $733, but of course still a much cheaper option than F1.2 which I’d get if had the budget.
Thanks for sharing another wonderful video like always, you are awesome and super talented, I seen that little stool in many of your videos 😂Keep up with the awesome content 👌👍🤗
Іринка, ти молодець. Я тебе люблю! 🎋🎈😁
Thanks for this video. the 85mm is my fave focal length. :)
Canon EOS R is available for sale anywhere
and how expensive...? Can you shoot a good video?
Thank you so much for this helpful video! I definitely want the more expensive lens now, but can't afford it right now, so I'll have to start with the cheaper one and work to save up for the expensive one.
I'm really enjoying your lens comparisions. I'm really looking for the time I can get a R5, now that they have fixed the wobbling. I'm curious about the Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM.
I’m am thinking of comparing the 24-70 f2.8 and the 28-70 f2
@@IreneRudnyk Please do :-) I've been curious about how those two compare.
@@thedondeluxe6941 I have the RF 24-70 F2.8 and love it - Irene let me use her RF 28-70 at Profusion - 28-70 is the better lens, but it's about $900 more then the 24-70
Hello Iren, please tell me what you did to edit the image
Could you make a video of how you edit hair? please 😃
Yes, I would love this too.
The 1.8 was shot at ¼ slower shutter speed. So actually it is better at low light. You can probably handheld at ½ seconds. So 2-stops difference. While f1.2 is only 1⅓-stops brighter.
1.2 lens will always be better for low light. It’s bigger - let’s in more light. And it can be shot at f1.2 - let’s in more light. You can’t compare the settings because they don’t match exactly in brightness
Great video, thanks I was wondering what was the distance between you and the motel because I will use this lens in concert photo but I’m not sure if it will work for it due the distance between me and the band on the stage
Tell me how you took these photos in RP??😊🙏🏼
Nice work. Please how can I get the soundtrack at the beginning or something like it. It's lovely. I want it!!!
Hello Master:
Please help and give me some advice,
The camera I am currently using is Canon EOS R10,
The kit lens used with it is (RF-S18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM)
My main subject matter is toy photography.
The secondary shooting content is street photography or portrait photos.
Now I want to buy new lenses, after watching your video,
Want to compare between Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM and RF85mm F2 Macro IS STM
After making a choice, I would like to ask you to give me some advice on which lens is more suitable for me? Thank you.
Гарная ретушь , кольори. У нас у тренді зараз більш приглушені кольори, і таких яскравих фото немає ні у кого. Скільки часу обробляєшь одне фото?
Дякую :) я ніколи за трендами не слідкувала, завжди обробляла так як мені подобається. На кожне фото приблизно 15-20 ха
@irene Rudnyk,
I have the F2 lens and I love it. I wonder, did you shoot at same aperture on both lenses (same body) to see difference in quality? F2 vs. F2, F8 vs F8, etc? I am a big fan of your work. Thank you.
Is there a way to lessen the pinkish tone in-camera for SooC jpegs? Anyone can suggest a modification to the white balance?
Beautiful romantic portraits!, love my RP, while I wait for the R6MKII... , I would go for the a7iv but I have too many lenses for canon :D
so a lens with smaller F stop and Macro capability is less sharp? The 1.2 is 5x the price but still, the other one has Macro capability. Maybe because of the AF of the RP isn't quite good like the R5?
Lovely! Would you ever review the Sigma 105mm 1.4 Art vs the RF 85mm 1.2?
Unfortunately because I am a Canon ambassador, I am only reviewing Canon gear
@@IreneRudnyk OOP. Ok, no worries. Lol.
Thanks for the reply! ☺️
What model of lens is the RF 85mm f1.2 l does she use?
Great video!
I have been debating whether to buy this lens or not... I currently have the ef 70-200 L IS USM (using with eos r)... Is 85mm f2 worth the purchase or would 70-200 be enough?
Thanks!
05:18 Some say this guy at the background is still walking somewhere
😂😂😂
Me fala como você fez essas fotos na RP?? 😊🙏🏼
your photos are so beautifully done! no matter what lens you use. May talk about high speed sync, but I see you don't use that. Do you use a ND filter on your lenses to provide you opportunity for higher speeds?
I usually shoot pretty open apertures, my shutter speed is already high
Food is also definitely good for shooting with the lens😊
Yes!!!
@@IreneRudnyk Super 😊 What's your favorite lens?
Used the old EF 85 f1.8 and the adapter, will be more satisfying than rf 85 f2
Hi Irene, will that lens fit my Canon 90D? Thank you.
Is the RP your usual backup camera ? or did you use the RP only for this comparaison ?
R6 is my backup but I love the RP as a budget friendly alternative
I already have the Ef 85 1.8 does it make sense i go for the RF 85 2.0. It would be on a R6 mk2
Lovely photographer ❤️❤️❤️
Do you use UV filters on your lenses?
Great video! I'm coming from a Canon 90D and moving to a Canon R6 Mark II. I have an 85mm 1.8 EF lens. Would I be better off using that lens, purchasing this lens, or the Samyang 85mm 1.4?
Start with just using your EF lens with canon adapter, and if that doesn’t work than you can try some RF lenses
@@IreneRudnyk Thanks for responding. I'll probably save up and get Canon RF lenses.
Hi. Would you recommend rf 35 1.8 and rf 85 2.0 or 24-70 2.8 instead for my r6 II ?? Please help
Excellent video!!!
which software did you use to edit? LR or Capture one? nice pictures btw
I use Photoshop
Hello Irene! Hope you’re doing well. As a canon ambassador, what lens would you recommend? I’m planning to buy my very first full frame mirrorless camera which is the canon rp and I am torn between the canon ef 85mm 1.8 and the canon rf 85mm f2. Please i need your tips or insights on this. Thank you for your response and more power to your channel. God bless
Depends on what you are shooting....i would get the 85 f2....portraits and macro
Honestly if you're not shooting professionally the f2 is perfect value for money. There really isn't that much diffence between them.

Fotografia z RF 85 f1.2 jest bardziej trójwymiarowa, natomiast z obiektywu RF 85 f2 jest płaska bez głębi.
Idk about those prices, just about 500 she says, damn, that's a lot
8:20 детализации здесь на 85 F2 практически нет! градиенты тоже все попраны, динамический диапазон хуже - вполне возможно это камера такая
I am Using R5 with 85 F2
Nice! A great combo
Wow.. Amazing..
Can you do this with the 50mm line up
Did it a while ago, search for the 50mm 1.8 review on my channel
Wow superb 👍
How did you get it ? Because it says no shipping to canada .
You can also get it from VISTEK, Best Buy in Canada
Is it good for pet photography?

not first 😭 but still love your videos 🔥
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My God, 500$ a lens. Here in Brazil, this leans cost a lot.
I am using this photo for editing purpose pls dont send copyright strike pls
With current photoshop fast subject select option it would literally take 1min to match the background burr of f2 to f1.2 .
Sorry to disappoint but I just did that in photoshop and it look’s nothing like the 1.2
@@IreneRudnyk With proper gradual blur even looks better, as you have control how much to add. Subject must be cut from background and content aware fill, blur applies only to background.
I’m mean do it yourself, screenshot both images and compare. It’s not even close. Unfortunately editing bokeh will never look like the real thing. But the f1.2 has way more benefits than just the bokeh anyways
Budget ? 5dmk III and EF 85 f1.2L 😇
Wouldn’t recommend getting a dslr, they are discontinued. But an EF lens works even better on mirrorless with an adapter
If you add just a little bit of the new DOF neural filter in Photoshop you would hardly be able to tell the difference! An extra 1 minute in post to save $1500 of course lol
Nah, the edited blurry backgrounds never look good
@@IreneRudnyk of course if you go too hard on it. A little goes a long way, and just the slightest bit with the f2 you wouldnt be able to tell a difference
I just tried the neural filter on picture from this video and it doesn’t change the quality of the bokeh, just more blur, it’s not the same.
@@IreneRudnyk it's not exactly the same no, but it's also subjective, and also a better alternative than spending $2500 on a lens lol.
But it’s not, because if you want the look of the $2600 lens, blurring the background with photoshop won’t give you that look period.
👍
❤❤❤
Dont mind me, i am just standing in the forest reading a book
