There's no doubt that the Sigma is the better lens, although the little RF 1.8 is very good for the price. I think it depends on what you use the lens for. If you're doing formal shoots the Sigma is a no-brainer. But having used both (and don't get me wrong, I LOVE the Sigma), the Canon is miles better if you're walking around, vastly lighter to carry and makes you far less obtrusive. In an ideal world I'd own both.
I'd love to have that - especially with sealing. But the latter won't happen, because it would cannibalize the 50 1.2.. Maybe Sigma will come up with that, though.
I own the rf 50mm f1.8 and the Sigma 50mm f1.4, i went out and shot with both of them on the Canon R6 mk ii and I was amazed the $200 lens was making the sigma look bad. I did notice the colours being a little off on the sigma, so now I know that I need to update my sigma. i was able to fix the colours in the post. I did notice though when you zoom in the nifty 50 was sharper as far as the detail. that has to do with the mount on the canon rf with the glass being closer to the sensor. great video.
Great comparison, thanks! I really like the look and feel of the sigma. It's a shame that it's not sealed - I photograph a lot of dogs and there is water flying around frequently. It's even sadder that the other art primes like the 85 and 105 are actually sealed! I hope Sigma come up with a 50 1.4 for mirrorless with sealing.
Comparing images with the embedded preview? I think rebuilding the 1:1 previews or doing that in develop module would be a better indication of lens performance.
Nice video. Lenses are usually better when stopped down further than in this video. F8 would be better, f5.6 as well. The RF 50mm f1.8 STM is NOT at it's best at f1.8
Great comparison! That little 50 did a great job. You also did a great job standing in almost the exact same position for both sets of shots. That part would have driven me nuts. I do wonder if it was fair to add the cost of the adapter against the sigma as most of us have multiple EF lenses that will work on that adapter. I personally don’t use the control ring much (either w/ RF or EF glass) as its position is all over the place across multiple lenses. Anyway, take care.
Yeah, there are other choices for the adapter. I just wanted to be upfront and honest. I wasn't crazy about the control ring wither, but I really like it now
Facebook marketplace gas been my go-to place. I've posted in other locations, but that seems to work the best. I belong to a few local "sell items" groups on there
Good video! Sigma is much better than the RF 50mm... I almost bought an RF35mm too, it is not as sharp as sigma options were. The size is too large to be practical, but I much prefer the quality of the sigma so guess I'll have to get used to carrying it
Great choice, and I might be wrong but as far as I know I don't think it's necessary to use Sigma 'dock' with mirrorless cameras. Sigma dock intended for Art lenses on DSLRs to fix focusing issues
I was actually able to try both. I didn't record it because I returned the ef50 2 days after I bought it. Canon had just announced the rf. There wasn't much of a difference. Honestly, the rf was a tad bid sharper, but not by much. I believe Canon is having a labor day sale, so the rf should be close to the price of the ef version this week
it does not make much sense to include the adapter in the price ratio, unless you want in the future to spend huge amounts of money on RF lenses and take only those.
That price comparison is totally wrong, the adapter and the dock can be used in many other lenses, besides that, the RF misses the lens hood, witch is pretty important.
that first comparison looked off. the rf lens is much sharper then that. looks like you had motion blur or missed focus. you can tell with your other portraits that its sharper then the 1st one...
"Nobody could tell it`s the 1.8", really! You could and it`s enough. Because I am not a pro and on a budget but I want top quality I got the 50mm Canon EF f1.2 used. I also have the Eos R body to match it with. If you make money with your gear you should go for the top glass to up your game. The glass is the most important. For me the nifty fifty is not an option, never has been. It`s that 5% better rendering and that magic a top prime will get that I am after...
Well, sorry to disappoint you, but he was referring to the RF 50 1.2😅 The Sigma 50 1.4 Art completely wipes the floor with the EF 50 1.2😂 That lens is, by far, the best autofocus 50mm for EF mount
The Sigma, too big (even without the adapter), too heavy, and much too expensive. A no-brainer. The Canon is the RF loss-leader. Much ado about nothing. ;-)
The Sigma Art series lenses are typically class leading. I have a 105 1.4 Art that whoops the 85mm f1.2 RF L. The Art lenses are generally sharper with less CA and built to last a lifetime.
Sigma: weight with ef-rf adaptor =1050gr; price with ef-rf adaptor = $1050 US. Canon: 160gr; $150 US. RF 50mm f/1.8 performs a lot better starting at f/2.8. For me, it's a clear choice. I would rather go with Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 and an adaptor for the same price as Sigma. Not a great choice by you IMO.
Thanks for the video! Really helping me make my decision on the Sigma :)! Awesome and helpful :)!
Thank you for a great video when I was wondering what to buy
Was wondering the same thing, thanks for the video
Thnx for the great review!
Useful video, thanks!
Great work. Thank you.

I own both lenses, I got a good deal
I will buy rf 50mm 1.4 USM - when Canon will build it.
I'd love to have that - especially with sealing. But the latter won't happen, because it would cannibalize the 50 1.2.. Maybe Sigma will come up with that, though.
It won't happen any time soon.
Will never happen. RF 1.8 is better than EF 1.4
It is going to be like waiting for 🐔 to have nipples to feed its babies 🐤. 😂😂😂😢
Thank you!

Exactly; that's hilarious, and of course absolutely useless video, what a shame. And we just caught that in 2 people...
I got the Sigma 50mm Art EF used for 220$... My god i love it...
I use the cannon 50mm 1.8 for all of my street photography and portraits. I stop down to 2.8 and get excellent images every time.

@@MyCentsTX You can suddenly need or like it while filming for example: the ring if one it is worth it.
Do you have any recommendations where to sell kit FR 24-105 and my old EOS 100D? How to price them right?

i have the sigma 1.4 and the image quality is is superb. i can always tell if i used this lens or not. its my fave lens. downside isits big and heavy.
Going back through my shots, my favorites are always the ones where I used this lense or the rf70-200 2.8
Great choice, and I might be wrong but as far as I know I don't think it's necessary to use Sigma 'dock' with mirrorless cameras. Sigma dock intended for Art lenses on DSLRs to fix focusing issues
The Doc is for any updates or adjustment to the sigma lenses.
@@MyCentsTX Great!
This is the reason I bought a Sigma 150-600 for my M50.
I bought both because I want another divorce.
Lol!!!
anybody knows how the old Sigma 50mm dg ex compare to these? I’m trying to decide if I should upgrade.
How does the nifty-fifty EF 1.8 with adaptor compare to RF 50mm

yes the sigma is soooo worth it.. i use it for wedding and its mind blowing..

agreed
Great review! Have you ever tried the Canon 50mm 1.4 EF? I’m wondering how it could compare with the sigma if you have any experience
Both lenses are much better than the EF 50 1.4
The Canon ef f/1.4 is known to be one of the worst lenses made by canon
Congratulations with your $900 purchase! Now 98% of people can admire that 2% extra detail on a 6inch mobile phone screen 😂😂
It's not just about detail, it's about depth of field too.
@@77dris nowadays you can really adjust things like that in post..
Difference is huge
我想，即使是文印工作室，也不会放大到这个程度，去看纹路细节
Get the ND adaptor and you're set with the Sigma!
They looked vastly different to me. The 1.2 RF is a tad sharper, but is focus-by-wire. The Sigma is better with manual focus in video.
That price comparison is totally wrong, the adapter and the dock can be used in many other lenses, besides that, the RF misses the lens hood, witch is pretty important.
that first comparison looked off. the rf lens is much sharper then that. looks like you had motion blur or missed focus. you can tell with your other portraits that its sharper then the 1st one...
i think its bcz the canon has stm motor which is much slower compared to sigma Hypersonic motor
Kararsız kaldım çok bir fark yok sanirim
"Nobody could tell it`s the 1.8", really!
You could and it`s enough.
Because I am not a pro and on a budget but I want top quality I got the 50mm Canon EF f1.2 used. I also have the Eos R body to match it with.

The Sigma 50 1.4 Art completely wipes the floor with the EF 50 1.2😂

you have a hood on the sigma
I do. It really does help
The Sigma, too big (even without the adapter), too heavy, and much too expensive. A no-brainer. The Canon is the RF loss-leader. Much ado about nothing. ;-)
no bokeh in any of your review shots?
The Sigma Art series lenses are typically class leading. I have a 105 1.4 Art that whoops the 85mm f1.2 RF L. The Art lenses are generally sharper with less CA and built to last a lifetime.
i guess not,. RF 85mm 1.2 is much better and versatile than 105 1.4 when it comes to wedding coverage,.
@@kenjiyamamoto423 It's not a football game, but the 85 1.2 cost also a fortune but is class leading.
when you are street shooting and walk 10 miles taking pictures, you will wish for that RF 50mm 1.8 .... ha ha
Big difference in weight for sure. I always have a bag to help. Right now I'm trying out the new Tamba msgr bag
So none of the examples were at 1.4 with the sigma?
That should start at 14:35
And expose your shots right for god sake!
Sigma: weight with ef-rf adaptor =1050gr; price with ef-rf adaptor = $1050 US. Canon: 160gr; $150 US. RF 50mm f/1.8 performs a lot better starting at f/2.8. For me, it's a clear choice.
