Canon C100ii Face Detect Focus AF prime lens
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- Canon C100ii also known as C100 ii C100m2 now can FACE DETECT Autofocus if you use a seldom heard of rare 35mm f2.8 macro lens. Yes it's an STM but it's a PRIME lens! You can find them on ebay occasionally so be on the lookout for one. In this video I compare it with a more expensive pro L-series lens- the 35mm f1.4 set at f2.8. How do these two Canon lenses compare when set at the same f-stop aperture? One only does center AF and the STM macro does full face tracking autofocus! Check it out. The C100ii is a great video even though it just shoots 1080, there are rumors its actually a 4K sensor that downsamples to 1080. if you want some face tracking autofocus for your Canon C100 ii , check out this video.

The lens this video is about is the Canon 35mm f2.8 macro STM lens. There are still some floating around out there.

side by side, the STM wins in my eyes. You just saved someone a TON of money with this comparison.
"its been around since the earth cooled", markus got some interesting terminology that I would love to see more often.
I like how you kept the copy of the declaration of independence that you have behind you in the remodel.
I have owned the C100 and the MK2 C100 , I now own a C70 but could NOT get rid of my MK2... its SO good and does everything I need. So amazing... the picture is amazing !
Thanks for this update. I ran across Tailgate last year and the 35mm macro. Been using it for our Sunday School lessons.
THANK YOU MARCUS! As a faithful member of the C100 cult I STILL LOVE THIS CAMERA. You also nailed my biggest gripe of this ancient workhorse camera - the fixed center focus point. Yes I finally upgraded to a C70 and love it, but the C100 just is such a venerable, reliable, feature rich camera with great battery life and TINY, remarkably gradable files for its crap 4.2.0 8 bit codec. I'm holding onto mine for streaming, a safety cam or time lapse! If Canon had upgraded this camera to 422 10bit internal SD with a decent Mbps, and improved autofocus they would have sold a million of these in this wonderful form factor !
And there are people who “need” an a7siii to be a good filmmaker… People that don’t understand the value you get from a c100mkii…
If there would be only one camera I stay for ever it would be this one. And a 18-35 1.8 from sigma. You can tell all the stories you need with this kind of gear.
Thanks for the tips for the 35mm that can face track, nice to know !
I love my Sigma 18-35mm 1.8 !!
I have seen epic stuff with an a6000
As usual, you break it down so well for us regular folks. I love my Canons.
STM made you look younger I just might have to add that lens to my collection. Thanks Markus
Looks like the Mark ii and the 35 mm STM is a great combination, thanks Markus!
Me: "So has it been around for a while"? Mr.Markus; "It's been around since the Earth cooled"...! That alone should get you a Clio Award.
I also used the C100ii in 2016 and LOVED it. I was first worried since it didn't do 4K and I really wanted 4K at the time, but compared with my 4K camera even now the C100ii's regular HD still looks better. At the time I wished I could've afforded it but it was way out of my price range.
im sure i see more sharpness on the macro version, more contrast aswell
I agree that I also see more sharpness here with the cheap macro lens.... and the other 95% of the video with the expensive lens looks a little blurred on my laptop (looks better on my Quest 2 VR headset) and even looks kinda' odd or jittery or losing focus as he moves his head, maybe the lips are out of sync when his arms are moving fast ?
So although after watching this video (and 20 like it last week) I was super excited yesterday to get a C100mk2(I bought a Canon C300PL mk1 last month for $600), I am not sure today about it unless I get the cheap macro lens or other cheap lenses. Why would it look worse or blurry with the expensive L lenses. (I am a novice camera user)
Now...I love Markus, his videos and hard history of amazing work, so Im not being critical of him. Im a novice camera user.
I know Markus can make anything look amazing in the editing room....so Im hoping that this camera is really all that and a bag of chips for a UA-cam creator for under $2k Canadian used.
(below is my cute $600 C300PL with a fake coffee cup lens since I dont want to buy an expensive Cinema lens yet:)

I have that lens and it works great! I have never used the light but I also don’t do any macro work.
The video is indeed impressive. Thanks for the review of this lens. The STM does look very nice. It is a friendly lens.
The Declaration of Independence carving. Now I'm an even bigger fan.
I love the tough metal body and heavy solid feel of the Canon C300pl and 100. I will also look for this macro lens. In this video I also agree that it looked much clearer and held focus on the eyes with the cheaper macro.
Thanks for making these videos, I'll never be able to afford such lenses and camera but it's cool to see what they can do.
Of course you have 3 😅
Thanks for the information MarkusPix! There are quite a few lenses that supports FACE DETECT Autofocus and that you do not have to spend a fortune on them either. For instance there is - EF 24-105mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM - EF-S 55-250mm F4-5.6 IS STM , - EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM , - EF-S 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM , - EF-S 10-18mm F4.5-5.6 IS STM. The question is: who needs another camera when they have at least one Canon EOS C100 Mark II?
Yes I know. STM are consumer lenses, not exactly f1.4 L series glass BUT you can get some good stuff with it ua-cam.com/video/mEbt6fl8jzc/v-deo.html
I love my c100mki but the center point focus drives me nuts.i might look into that STM lens. thanks for the info!
I do love macro lenses. I'm going to look for that one. Thanks.
Markus, not sure if you’ve heard but Kasey’s mom passed away last night.
The Canon 35 mm f2.8 STM macro lens : {Note to myself: Get this lens because it does full face tracking autofocus. It also keeps a nice soft background that's acceptable. And the price is easy on my pocket. The lens keeps nice images too. } I'm still using the Canon T-3I and think that the lens will work on it. Until I get another camera as described by Markus. I have to make do with what I have.
I wanted one of c100 MK2 for years! Never found one
thanks Markus, I've been a Canon user since 1968
Thank you for making this video
I keep forgetting how cool your home is, that engraving in the background reminded me about your house tour and that gun range, I'm so jelly! Hahaha
Great demo. I thought I was the only one who has that camera (and lens)!
Fun as always. Macro lens is great sharpness. Great look
its a great camera, tried and true and the colors are amazing. Seen alot recently on the PD mov lidar
Try the ef 40/2.8 and the efs 24/2.8 both are stm & both are very thin.
I had the 40mm and for years it was attached to my camera due to how small and sharp it was. I do really enjoyed them heavily and do believe they are ridiculously overlooked for what they offer ..
Face AF with 24 2.8 STM doesn't work. Just tested.
I tried. They don't do face tracking on the C100ii
I miss the C100mkii everyday. As perfect as 1080p gets since it’s Dow sampled from the 4k sensor. And those tiny file sizes are absolutely glorious!
The only thing I don't understand is that I have the same lenses except for the STM that you debuted here, and I usually just turn off autofocus once I get the settings right. I mean I guess it depends on what kind of filming you're doing but if you're just standing in front of a camera for a documentary or a blog or something then you really just need the autofocus to get the specific range you want and then you turn it off. I do this because I use vintage lenses as well and this has always been my message. I wonder if anybody else uses the same method
I tried that but when I leaned forward or back a bit, my eyes would go out of focus
Thanks for sharing.
"Consumer lenses". Canon marketing dept *LOVES* you...
I tell it like it is.
@@MarkusPix ...right. There's no such thing as a 'professional lens' or a 'consumer lens' outside a marketing blurb. Pros use whatever lens gets them paid (and paid the most in relation to the cost of the gear). The idea of a 'professional lens' is a hobbyist approach - expensive = professional, cheap = consumer. It's completely meaningless.
I was actually talking to a guy at thw reno air races about his C100, he also had blackmagic 6ks but he said the c100 was a great bang for buck
It’s the message I agree with so very much! Less is more.
Morning Markus, have a great day Duderama! 🙌
Markus walked toward the tripod like a ship toward a lighthouse.
And by the way, the complexion seemed more pleasant to me when the shooting was done through a macro lens.
The pdmovie is great i like it
Hahahahahhaha free spirit Markus... Hahahahaha I would love to see you in movies in lead role... I am serious... I love to see and hear you...❤❤❤❤
you never disappoint my friend......
Handy sets. Film making central!
Great job Markus!
This was very interesting. One thing I'm not sure you ever answered is why does the STM focus off to the side and the L series not focus off to the side. Sorry just not sure why that would happen.
I'm not sure anyone but Canon knows the true answer to you question. It appears the camera knows what lenses are attached and allows only a few lenses use face detect. I have the C100 Mkii and two of these 35mm macros as well as many other lenses. The 35mm Macro is not on Canon's approved list for face detect, but it does in fact work whereas no other prime does to my knowledge. The other lenses are APS-c zooms; and all of them STM's except I've heard the older non-STM 18-135 works in some cases. You will find the L-Glass and many non-STM lenses are fairly sloppy and noisy when focusing. You could see in Marcus's piece the EF 35mm and EF 50mm full frame L-series glass really struggled to hold focus. I'm not sure how much of that is the USM motors or the AF on the camera. I've heard face detect reverts back to contrast AF on the C100 Mkii instead of dual pixel; but I don't know if that is true or not. I will say after much testing, the face detect autofocus is slower and inferior to the center focus on the lenses I use.
The optimist in me wants to answer your question by saying Canon knew the other lenses wouldn't perform well with face detect. The pessimist that Canon didn't want to lose sells of its then current EOS line that could use L-Glass and soon to be released better cameras with better implementations of AF and face detect. To add to the conspiracy, the Canon 70D had dual pixel and great much better face detect usable on any lens a year before the C100Mkii was released.
That stm looking great!
Hi Markus. Would love your opinion on the g7x iii. Everyone seems to hate this camera. But to me it looks like a winner. Compact, canon colors mic input.
so sad that 24 2.8 and 50 1.8 stm are not working with face af. that would be my go to set of lenses
Would love to get in hands with lidar even if it work to learn it
How does that lens face track? Seems like incredible technology!
Straight to the point comment and funny as always haha
On the contest page, since I don't know what It's referring to, I don't know if I'm to select PDMovie Live Air 3 Smart in the form for prize group.
the round dot
YOU HAVE THE CONSTITUTION ENGRAVED INTO YOUR WALL????????? Sooooooooo cool!!!!!!
The guy he purchased the house from was a high up in the military. It originally had a gun range in the bunker as well. I think he said it's like 3ft of concrete between the "basement" and upstairs.
I did enjoy the video!
I wonder why Canon does not provide a software fix. Then the great glass would work too.
Nice to know. Aloha
Great video. Just ordered this used from B&H (there's one more left :-D ) ! Looking forward to mating this with my C100 mii.
B&H had one? You're kidding.
@@MarkusPix They two. Now they have one. 😀 Appreciate your videos.
Excellent video, thx.
Ha! Wearing my fav shirt!
The stm really looks better than the L series.
I've thought about getting the C100ii and using it with the Sigma 18-35mm and the Tokina 11-20mm lens and how that would look.
I've used the Sigma 18-35 and Tokina 11-16 f2.8 (you said 11-20) with it and they both work good, but don't enable face detect. I find the Sigma a little slow on continuous AF if the talent is moving, but is superb for manual focus or when shooting stable/planned footage or when you have it adjusted with a little more DOF.
hope to get one...
If you were to put a 2x magnifier on the prime lens, would the face tracking AF still work?
Does this go for the EF-S 24mm f2.8 STM too? Asking because I have an M50, and I would like to use when I have the chance to get the C100 mkii?
THANK YOU!!!!!
I'm curious, but did you ever play around with the DJI Ronin 4D? It looks like it would be a lot of fun to run around with, but definitely not compact like you usually run with. But back on the video subject, I love my C100. I will be really sad if and whenever it finally dies on me one day. My 1DX MkII died on me this past weekend. Need to get the shutter fixed.
How much does the Canon 100 Mark II cost? Are they still made?
Or, just use manual focus ??
I have a c100 with the upgraded dual pixel AF, a non-mark ii. will this work and give me face detection if I got the this lens?
Have you tried the C200? It's supposed to have face detect. I’d like to hear your thoughts on the other cameras in the CXXX cinema line.
Yes I have one. Works great, but its not the same sensor. The C100ii has a look that's hard to duplicate.
However... if you are only stepping to the side, might as well use manual focus. As long as distance to camera remains the same, no need for autofocus. 🤫
But I dont just step to the side, I step back and forward also.
Any link to find the lense?
Great video. BTW, on a 24 inch monitor this video doesn't look that great. I think it's because of your export settings. It looks very pixelated. I would recommend you export to '4k youtube' preset if you're using premiere, then it would look awesome on UA-cam.
I'm watching on a 29" monitor and it looks great. Check the yourube playback resolution ua-cam.com/video/o_zbh2Oqd7o/v-deo.html
@@MarkusPix It's on 1080p... something looks off on my end for some reason.
Hey Mark I’ve been thinking about checking out a c100 or c300 mk1 just because they are at a reasonable price. Now I’m no film maker I just enjoy checking out older cameras and camcorders. I have a few canon lenses that aren’t apart of the pro line of canon’s lenses. Do you think a mk1 c100 would be worth checking out?
What about the 24mm and 40mm pancake stm lenses? I like them too - a bit slow motor for AF but hey.... then again I shoot them with an R7 - R etc
Face AF with 24 2.8 STM doesn't work. Just tested.
They don't do face tracking on the C100ii
@@MarkusPix that's a shame. Those little pancake lenses are really sharp. STM motors are a bit slow but hey...
I only wish there were more lenses like that for the Canon world.
"i like things really fast" 😏😏😏
That 50mm kept hand focusing and face going out of focus at f1.4 lol
Yeah
Hi- I love my C100 Mk II...but here's a question- if you are going to step to the side but stay in the shot, wouldn't you just turn off auto focus? I use the button in the front of the camera to quickly refocus and stay manual all the time.
Walking around does not mean on the same plane, notice I step further back and come forward also
🎬❤️❤️❤️🎬
A bit off topic but I have a question. I do product reviews and I use a EOS R. To shoot from above looking down my 35mm is too tight. So I put on my 24mm - 240mm. It is still tight so my question is, if I shot with a 24mm prime, would that actually have a wider view or should I go for the 16mm which is a lot cheaper? I can't raise my camera higher by the way since the desk mount is already extended all the way up. Thanks for your time!
By the way, I have issues with my 35mm prime not autofocusing when I am doing livestreams,,,kinda bites!
Good question. Zooms are always questionable compromises. 24 sounds like a good wide lens, but if 16 is all you can afford, then I guess go for that.
@MarkusPix my zoom just gets too narrow of a shot so was not sure if a shorter body (24mm prime) would get a wider shot since technically it wouldn't be as close to the subject. Anyway, thank you for your reply.
Markus What do you think of the Canon C200?
Works great but different sensor than the C100ii which has a nicer look in my opinion
0:48 25 megabytes a second??
Markus, let me get this right. Are you saying, that I need to use the Canon 35 L series with the lens only?
Or can I use any Canon camera.
In my last comment I mentioned that I have the Canon T-3i. And I will use the lens with it.
But I'm thinking (by watching this post over and over,) that I can't use the lens with any other Canon camera except the L series.
Is that correct?
Not sure what you mean. EF lenses work with any camera that has an EF mount. Autofocus performance varies
@@MarkusPix Okay, got it. I wasn't thinking clearly. EF lens and cameras with EF mounts work together. Thanks for keeping me a brisk.
What camera did you photograph the Uncook Bool with?
I think it was a Canon Rebel T7i
@@MarkusPix the presentation of the book is nice. Will have to get the photography book next.
Hey Markus Pix i am trying to win the giveaways by you but i didn't even won one. i want to start my UA-cam journey can you please give me a camera for this that'll be a great help.
Are this the ef-s lens?
It is an STM lens, but a prime, not zoom.
@@MarkusPix thank you!!!
Wait what
I thought Markus told us Canon turn us into women 😂
Hmm... Am I a heretic here if I say... Sony...AF? 🤔
Camera conspiracies let me here
welcome
Markus teach us how to start a UA-cam channel yahoo
Why canon did not allow face detection on L lenses I will never know. Canon cripple hammer at work
🤣🤣🤣 Вот сказочник! Когда это зона фокусировки стала зависеть от объектива, а не от конструкции матрицы?!?!😄
Even better, don't get a Canon C100 in the first place.
hahaha. But the image has such a nice look
Your Dreamchaser and non cook book arrived. I just flipped through Dreamcatchers and I already know its going to be heat. All that storyboarding and behind the scenes stuff looks exciting
