50 years?? Wow that’s a long time, almost thrice as old as me. Any advice for someone starting out? Planning in getting an r8 but my college bundle makes it hard
@@TheLloyd-iv3tl well, considering you are not starting out shooting film, you have a great advantage to learning. I had to learn digital processing on scanned film, then later on dslr files. You also have UA-cam to get lots of tips on almost anything. Narrow down your subjects to help you visualize what you want from your camera. Probably want to start looking for Adobe alternatives for raw processing. Shoot raw. That should give something to start with, good luck.
Thanks Jared. I bought this lens as a light weight alternative to my 28-70 for travel. I was surprised to see a lot for mixed reviews on you tube, but I now have zero regrets with my purchase after watching your video. You have shown me this lens has the character and soul I look for in my primes, and if anyone has issues with its performance, it's on them. You demonstrated what can be achieved with this piece of glass because your shots are simply amazing. They captured the tone of the day perfectly; so well done. I know these results have so much more to do with your talent as an artist vs. the tool in hand, but you have demonstrated this tool is more than capable in capturing the essence of the moment. Bravo!
Bought this lens today and it was bloody amazing. It's the perfect weight and size to carry around, AF is rediculously fast, and it's super sharp. Don't let the lens correction profile stop you from getting it. Once you have experience the benefit of lighter weight you might change your mind. The rattle sound is actually not that bad as well.
Don’t usually read comments, this lot reminds me why. Great review Mr. Polin, your experience across todays platforms is invaluable at all levels. Cheers
I have to say, I absolutely love the coppertone preset. I shot a dance last Sat and 85-90% of the shots were edited with coppertone. Of course there was some finishing touches, but it helped speed up the 250+ photo workload.
UA-camr tend to copy each other. If one says it's bad there other who jus follow along that path. This lens is great. The shaking elements are annoying but everything else is perfect
Because it doesn’t seem to matter. I don’t know what magic sauce canon is using but I don’t have any issues with quality due to lens corrections. Jared only cares about the final result…. Unless it’s cropping. 😂 he hates cropping.
Jared might be a lot of things, but one thing I can tell you for certain is he spits facts on the art and gear of photography. He totally echoed my feelings on this lens (I pre-ordered). Everyone else on UA-cam seems to be grasping for controversy for the views (the correction/thunky element/iris ring, etc.) rather than appreciating what Canon has brought to market. This lens is sick.
35mm 1.4 is king of primes. Very minor distortion, wide enough for 90 procent of photoshoot locations, tele enough for portraits. Big aperture for dim situations and enough for 3d-pop bokeh effect. Excellent review Fro!
I have had this lens for a little over two weeks now and I just want to say before I even watch this video how absolutely freaking incredible it is. It's very sharp and I noticed that the auto focus on my R5 works a little bit better than some of my other RF lenses. Very impressed with this. I hope Canon makes a 50 and an 85 in this configuration
How quick is it to focus, especially for tracking focus? As in, say you had to shoot a band and needed it to keep up with the front man going berserk. I am thinking about trading up my Tamron 35mm for this, and one of the main concerns I have is the speed of AF. If you don't mind me asking.
@@kevindiaz3459 hi. I traded in my tamron 35mm sp 1.4 for this and I don’t miss it. The tammy is great but this does focus faster and better for sure. It does seem to be a bit wider almost like it’s a 30mm but it could just be me.
@Soul_Visuals_Photography great! Thank you for the info! Also, a lot of mirrorless lenses are a little wider than advertised to allow for image stretching to correct for distortion. I dont know if that's what you are seeing, but if you don't use the in camera corrections it will appear wider than 35mm. Again, thank you for the info!
Fro, I am a long time fan. But with all respect to you, and also for the great images you captured here, you are IN the shot. I have been to many events like this and there is nothing worse than a photographer with a wide angle lens who gets in the middle of the reenactors during the reenactment and ruins the immersion for everyone. Not the camp shots, but the marching and shooting shots. These events happen only once a year and there are probably 100+ spectators and dozens of photographers at a respectful distance with long lenses who are just trying to appreciate a what it would have been like in 1863. This is a moment for a 70-200 or longer, so that you are out of everyone's line of sight (and out of all the other photographer's shot). It would be like shooting wedding vows from 10 feet away with a 14mm.
YES! Someone else who doesn't automatically like lens corrections! That tone you settled on looks like old school hand-colored B&W.I think that's why it looks 'right'
For a walking-around lens, I've tried both 24mm and 50mm and have found them to be too wide/too close respectively. A 35mm lens seems like it would be a good compromise.
Just FYI, the gun you did the close-up on was an Enfield rifle, not a musket. The Union Army was mostly using rifles in the Civil War due to improvements in manufacturing as well as the invention of the Minie Ball, the forerunner of the modern bullet which made loading rifles much easier. But great shots.
Guys a few things you should know before buying this lens: - It rattles like hell, which will make itself evident when carrying it around with you or shooting video. - While it can shoot pretty closely, it is still less magnification than the older L lens, so it's a regression in that regard. - Its flare resistance is not good, which is not made clear here as the weather is cloudy. - The bokeh wide open can get really swirly (I don't mind personally) - Yes you can correct for the distortion and vignetting, but having that much of both will impact pictures quality. Ultimately, you are slightly cropping the image to get those corrections done and lifting the shadows by a few stops, which ill cause grain espcially at high ISOs. - The exterior of the lens is plastic. Some competitors offer a metal body. - The older L lens is slower to focus but was always plenty fast enough.No one is using a 35mm lens to shoot cars as they go on the race track. For its intended purpose the older lens was always fast enough. - While this lens is a little bit sharper than previous gen 35mm, the mk2 L lens was always hailed as the sharpest lens of its generation and will easily outresolve any current sensor you currently throw at it and give you probably as nice bokeh with less of that effect. Sharpness is not everything, it is only 1 of the many attributes to consider in image quality when evaluating a lens. Having said that, the mk2 is still more expensive than the new lens, so I would not consider it at this point. Tamron still has the best auto focus 35mm lens out there (any brand included) when it comes to image quality. If you want something that is optically special (bokeh, color, contrast, sharpness...) and don't care about the additional weight from the lens and the adapter, then the Tamron at 699$ brand new will be a rewarding investment. It performs like a lecia lens would for a fraction of the price. This is my personal assessment, save money and take the best pictues you can with the right tool for you :) PS: The lens is still good, but it seems to have focused on top functionnality rather than image output, which is good but not 1400$ good.
I agree , Im a long term Tamron 35 1,4 user , and did a comparison with this new L lens last week, decided to send this L lens bag, comparing with price in mind the Tamron is a much better buy. And out performs the L in terms of rendering and bokeh. The L is a bit sharper and I very much like the weight & form factor, but it is not worth so much more money. So I decided to keep the Tamron. Maybe I get this L lens later when price drops.
Great slideshow. The only thing that it missed was some music from the era. There are actual recordings that try to recreate the Civil War sound (by the Eastman Wind Ensemble, for example), but these may not be PD enough to prevent demonetization of the video. But surely there is a PD version of When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again or The Battle Hymn of the Republic (Mine eyes have seen the glory . . .) to name two of the Civil War's Greatest Hits.
You think about 35mm is you got to have the right circumstances to use it. For full body portraits and for stylized portraiture like for the headshot here, it absolutely bangs. I first bought my 35 to use for backstage at fashion shows and it is absolutely amazing focal length. But the mightiest work I've seen is for those stylized portraits. If you want more separation than a 50 is the way to go. Basically just find the subject matter first and the focal length shall follow. I love my 35 on full frame, and the Canon crop equivalent 22. It slaps squirrels for sure.
@@simonmaduxx6777for video it’s SO KILLER!!! It’s a cinematographers dreams! I’ve been loving it. I still struggle with it for portraits as I’m a 851.2 user and in the past was a 135mm prime user and that’s my go to focal length. It’s making me grow as a photographer and challenging me to consider all other story elements and. It just turning the background into a beautiful creamy painting like my 851.2 does!!
Overall my largest complaint about the new R mount L series lenses is the quality of materials. I purchased the 24-105 2.8 L when it first came out and not only did the lens feel extremely cheaply manufactured but it also has already been serviced for a focus motor issue. I have been shooting AF Canon since the 1990s and feel Canon has continued to go downhill with the quality of their products. I understand that people don’t want to carry around heavy equipment but unfortunately I think to get fast and high quality glass it’s part of the process. I am not familiar with what the other manufacturers are doing but I know Canon has certainly cut corners to make higher profit margins for the stock holders.
Hilarious to me that I just really heard about this lens because I have been off the grid for a while, so I went to see if you had reviewed it and magically you reviewed it today.
With modern compute we need to consider cameras and lenses as a whole. The engineers take everything into account. Look at the FINAL corrected image of a moden camera and lens versus a DSLR lens. Besides, you're most likely messing with your image in post w RAW and if you're shooting JPG you're messing with it at capture.
Thanks for the video. I would like to see more variety of shots e.g. how this lens does with strong backlightling. As others have said, the bokeh looks distorted in some images.
Not every Canon mirrorless has IBIS. The R8 doesn't. That's why I always push people to get the R6 or R6II instead because the price difference is well justified by the IBIS and dual card slots alone.
Is it me, or does 35 mm lenses have a thing with trees looking really rackish? At 12:09, I'm curious why those trees don't blow out more at 1.4. those trees are so disturbing especially above the head I would defocus them manually.. looks like a mishmash of shurikens made out of spinach 😮 I see a lot of this at 2.8 on other lenses, and especially my 35efIS...so I'm curious why this doesn't at least get softened out. I know 35 is still pretty wide.. and maybe it's just 35 mm and trees are not the best mix.
You can always count on Jared's review as no drama, all facts, all practicality. Such a breath of fresh air! too much drama & whining bs everywhere else.
7:22 That's some heavy field curvature in the background. The grass between the left hand of the man and the strap is closer than the grass just below the end of the barrel - but the latter is less out of focus and gets gradually sharper. Maybe a compromise to the compact size?
@joaopsemedo I own the Tamron. I am not sure Jared ever reviewed the Tamron when it was released despise the hype. The Canon has some advantages over the tamron like the aperture ring (who cares), the control ring (also who cares) and slightly faster AF. Its body is more lightweight and compact. If these are important for you then so be it. But I still think Tamron has the best AF 35mm F1.4 lens optically any lens maker included.
Man, those photos you showed at 1:05 are superb! Awesome 😍😍 Also, got a question, can you sell the photos you take at a reenactment event? Do you need photo release forms? that rifles photo would be great to sell.
These images look good, to Jared’s credit. But I don’t love how this lens renders. The bokeh has some soap bubble and cat’s eye. It looks nervous in the transition zone and the bokeh balls are distracting. Tamron SP 35/1.4 is my favorite.
The difference between 1.2 and 1.4 is so small it’s not that disappointing but I’d like to see a 1.2 version also. I guess it would make it big like the 50mm though.
"swirly" bokeh and cat-eye specular highlights towards edges are par for the course with most large aperture lenses, sadly. Not sure how bad this effect is on this one relative to competition. I also don't really think that the "fix barrel distortion in post" attitude is to blame for this particular effect either. Edit: Fro slapping his signature overcooked presets doesn't help this either
@@404Anymouse It's not just swirly bokeh, it's also heavy field curvature. The focal plane is not flat. Towards the edges, the bokeh background sharpens up again - even when it is further from the camera. See 7:22.
That was a cool shoot! It makes me was to see if we have any of those around my area. Kennesaw Battle Field is not far from where I live, so maybe there? Thanks!
Great lens - but video proves again that about 80% of success lies on the subjects and the story in front of photographer's lens, with a bit of good lighting :)
Best review I’ve ever seen. 50 years shooting Canon, appreciate this very much.

i did a shoot the same in florida. to be honest. i like these old reenactments in black and white. great shots Jared!!!!
amazing photos like always. Was debating on either buying this or the 50 1.2 and I think you sold me on the 35.
As Always!! You kick ass at introducing the new gear review
I love the reenactment photos. Would love to see you do more of those for these reviews.
Nice shots! Love your color grading!
I don't get why canon just doesn't do what sony does with the lock and declick switch seems like the best way and should become standard.
These are the best photos I have seen you make.

I love the cinematic tones and a 35mm was definitely the correct tool for this type of work..
I would like to point out that Jared is a very good photographer and I am not surprised that he takes great images.
i am yor big fan from Ethiopia your videos helped me so much
Awesome job on these photos! 👏🏾

Very cool way to show off this lens, when do they usually do these reenactment in Lancaster?
Looks like your website preset link is dead, just wanted to pass it along!
Great video . Loved the slide show , some great shots
Great review. Agree with the editing style for the situation as well. Looks like a great lens but I think I’ll stick with the little 35 1.8 for now.
Nice review and photos 👏 lens is cool but that shaking element is kind of weird, hope it will be reliable in a long run.
Excellent video and information!
The control ring is great for exposure compensation for stills and setting color temperature for video in my opinion
I wonder how much would be same lens without video aparture ring and compesation for focus breathing.
Not every Canon mirrorless has IBIS. The R8 doesn't. That's why I always push people to get the R6 or R6II instead because the price difference is well justified by the IBIS and dual card slots alone.
Is it me, or does 35 mm lenses have a thing with trees looking really rackish?
At 12:09, I'm curious why those trees don't blow out more at 1.4. those trees are so disturbing especially above the head I would defocus them manually.. looks like a mishmash of shurikens made out of spinach 😮

Because parts of the tree are quite close to the area in focus
There are some fantastic shots being at the Paris Olympics. It would be great if you could find out which cameras and lenses are used in the best.
You can always count on Jared's review as no drama, all facts, all practicality. Such a breath of fresh air! too much drama & whining bs everywhere else.
compare to nikkon 35mm 1.4 when you get a chance please!
Simple. If you have canon you get this if you have nikon you get that.
@@LukeSchaeferFilms and if you dont' haave either you can get nikon cause its probabaly just as good and $900 less.
did you get any shots of the fire coming out of the barrel?
Awesome video. Will wait for the f1.2 to come and wishing. Still have the 28-70mm for now…..thank you
love the slide show!!!
7:22 That's some heavy field curvature in the background. The grass between the left hand of the man and the strap is closer than the grass just below the end of the barrel - but the latter is less out of focus and gets gradually sharper. Maybe a compromise to the compact size?
Good review. I think all these photos need to be processed as vintage B&W, how cool would they look.
Why do we not have to change the aperture on the lens?
Analog controllers are so much more tactile and convenient, then button on the camera
Loved the slide show; thanks!
i love my aperture ring for photos personally
Nice Vid and great videos. Thanks Guys

The Canon has some advantages over the tamron like the aperture ring (who cares), the control ring (also who cares) and slightly faster AF. Its body is more lightweight and compact.

Really awesome shots. I never would've thought to try that.
sometimes, i forget how good you are at photography. 😮
Man, those photos you showed at 1:05 are superb! Awesome 😍😍
Also, got a question, can you sell the photos you take at a reenactment event? Do you need photo release forms? that rifles photo would be great to sell.
These images look good, to Jared’s credit. But I don’t love how this lens renders. The bokeh has some soap bubble and cat’s eye. It looks nervous in the transition zone and the bokeh balls are distracting. Tamron SP 35/1.4 is my favorite.
Die, die das Objektiv kritisieren gehören gar nicht zur Zielgruppe! Tut mir sehr leid aber es ist die Wahrheit...
The difference between 1.2 and 1.4 is so small it’s not that disappointing but I’d like to see a 1.2 version also. I guess it would make it big like the 50mm though.
I take it your presets work on Camera Raw also?
Yup
10:39 that swirly backround😵👍🏻
Awesome photos with soldiers
The bokeh looks weird. As if the background distorts and gets a bit round. Look at 11:52 as a good example
"swirly" bokeh and cat-eye specular highlights towards edges are par for the course with most large aperture lenses, sadly. Not sure how bad this effect is on this one relative to competition.
I also don't really think that the "fix barrel distortion in post" attitude is to blame for this particular effect either.
Edit: Fro slapping his signature overcooked presets doesn't help this either
“Swirly” bokeh is sometimes a desired look from portrait photographers, so while it may not work for some, it will work for others
@@404Anymouse It's not just swirly bokeh, it's also heavy field curvature. The focal plane is not flat. Towards the edges, the bokeh background sharpens up again - even when it is further from the camera. See 7:22.
Yeah, I noticed the weird bokeh as soon as he showed the first sample pictures. It's not subtle.
That's a good thing. Just blaring the background means nothing and looks digital.
These pictures are excellent ! The camera tech today is insane. I think back and wonder how we did it in the past 🙂
That was a cool shoot! It makes me was to see if we have any of those around my area. Kennesaw Battle Field is not far from where I live, so maybe there? Thanks!
i hate changing aperture on the body i hate that on my 200-600G!. A-Ring FTW (for stills)
Are you going to review the new Nikon 35 1.4? waiting for that!
Swirly bokeh! Reminds me of Helios 44-2. Interesting, can't afford the 35 1.4 here so I'll stick to my 1.8.
Love the shot where the horse is turned away.
Where were these amazing pictures taken?
Why they didn’t use the optical formula of EF 35 II
What is the star on your neck? Do they give it to UA-cam stars?
Really nice photos!
Great video❗
Amazing shots.
Great lens - but video proves again that about 80% of success lies on the subjects and the story in front of photographer's lens, with a bit of good lighting :)
Impressive portfolio
Great video. That rattling AF element inside has got to reduce longevity of the lens and seems to be a big issue with this lens. It's just physics.
good job! great photos
