[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Hello. How are you today?

[@TomTowles]

Good

[@idacrr]

Loved this, thanks for sharing the straight from camera photos!

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Great

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@TeddyParker]

Just upgraded to RP (first full frame). Adapted my EF 50mm to it. It's such a treat to use. I hate to be that guy but it's just such an improvement over aps-c. Even as the lowest end ff, the colors and dynamic range just pop right out of camera. Let alone as a raw file.

[@Ahlia1967]

As a Wedding Photographer - I love and appreciate all the SOOC images (and the frikin cool music) at the end... so many times (and everyone does it) - when you compare the SOOC to your favourite photographers final images, it can be disheartening... so our mucho appreciation for keeping it real, Taylor... you (and your Wife) are the best!

[@easyaccess2me]

Finally someone showing us that a budget lens can get the job done! Not all of us jumping off the porch with L lenses .

[@MarchonC]

Shot my first wedding with the sony f 1.8 50mm and it was a challenge but fun. Thanks for the video.

[@naradhipatiandaru5078]

Your pictures really encouraged me to take more pictures with the 50mm 1.8. The focal length has been quite tough to get used to as I’ve always been relying on telephoto-ish looks. Great photos.

[@atlmogul1]

Nice video. Thanks for the excellent review and examples of using the lens. Nice shots also.

[@idacrr]

Love these types of videos! And beautiful photos.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Awesome video Taylor! Whoever did the hair and makeup for this wedding did a phenomenal job. Super modern looks and so well balanced. It's funny what a photographer notices versus someone who has no idea. I never noticed the distracting background at all. I think all the images are so soft and romantic. Also - The pizza song is literally epic LOL

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Hah Lindsay knows who hair and makeup was! Everything came together very well for this day :)

[@alanbell8951]

I’ve just purchased my first nifty 50 lens as I am doing my first wedding shoot in 2 days. This video has been perfect for me to gain a bit of insight into the lens.

[@dusty_burkhalter]

My R6 with RF 50 1.8 will be here tomorrow I’m so pumped after watching this. Going back through my photos I had forgotten how many of my favorite images were taken on my 80D and 6D Mark II with the EF “nifty fifty.”

[@bfs5113]

Always nice to go back to the fundamentals to refresh the perishable skill, although I had forgotten my first 'fun' time to shoot a wedding with a 50 f/1.8 over four decades ago. Of course back then with film, a Metz flash too to keep up with the motor drive.

[@arturoavalos5939]

Omg, the sooc images are amazing, beautiful rendering and colors.

[@PhotogenicProperties]

Great content sir! Well done.

[@TimothyGordon]

Taylor, I definitely want to see this video as a full wedding day!

[@jaafaralassad-mk6ev]

I love photography and I love this type of video❤

[@juliewalker3112]

Thank you so much. One thing which puts me off photographing Weddings is all the gear. I was edging towards just using my 35mm but am thinking I'll pop the 50mm in now too. Lovely natural images, thanks for your advice.

[@btechproductions598]

These SOOC pics are still ever so crispy. Amazing!!!!!

[@markgriffinphoto]

and if not using as first preference, what a killer back up lens to have in the bag..love my R6/50mm1.8 combo, waiting on that Rf 24 1.8 to hopefully appear in 2022..

[@abrahamgomez2599]

I would LOVE to see the images of the 70-200mm! I am on the fence of purchasing this lens.

[@btecww]

Beautiful work. I love your approach very natural look. I have been doing wedding work on a budget. I use an R6 and R. I only have the cheaper 50 mm and 35 mm and kit as my native lens. I have one good EF zoom I use adaptive. Really don’t have the budget for the L glass. Thanks for this review. It’s encouraging seeing great results from budget RF glass. I have to trust my skills as a photographer over the quality of my set up. It’s a journey to add as much value to my clients while I grow my arsenal. I shot a reception dance entirety with that 50 while dancing in the crowd. Broke has its advantages 😎

[@sanyessztube]

Great photographer perspective about wedding. Yes, it's a great low budget lens. I personally use Sigma 50mm f1.4 HSM and also a great option for budget lens. Good luck wit youre work!

[@juliogonzalez7773]

the voiglander bokeh it crates makes for fantastic stuff with the light and trees!

[@markshirley01]

Thanks Taylor this is very helpful. Im moving over from Nikon to the R6 - I knew the RF 35mm F1.8 was a good choice - seems like this is a bargain as well. This will make my initial spend a bit lighter. Cant wait for my R6 to arrive - just got to sell my D750 now 👍

[@Ben-cx8de]

Different strokes and all that as I love the look this lens gives. It has a nice Planar vintage look which I'm guessing comes from the simple, under corrected lens design.

[@superbug1977]

This video is excellent! I've been leaning pretty heavily on my Canon 24-105 f4 L (EF) for group events lately. But I own the RF 50 f1.8 STM. Maybe now I'll be brave enough to use in a professional way. Also, what is your post-production like? Some of the tones I'm seeing in your photography are really quite lovely.

[@liammurphy8536]

Cant beat the nifty fifty!

[@MindYaBizz_Whiz]

Ripper, for sure!

[@CaptainJack63]

Yeah!! I'm shocked that I'm using my updated EF 50mm f/1.8 on my R5 with Canon's ring adapter. I can really punch in with the 45 MP files. Its not a perfect lens, but I'm able to work around its short comings. I'm very happy with it. :)

[@STORIEDAMAAN]

SOLID SOLID SOLID!!

[@j0rzeh]

I used my nikon 50mm F1.8 G with the FTZ on my Z7ii mainly for a wedding and it did very well the only time I used my 70-200 G2 was the vowels because I couldn't get close, I eft the 24-70 in the bag all day.

[@timothyrenninger2251]

i just bought the EF version of this lens for a wedding. Thanks for making me feel better about that decision. Also, some good ideas for posing the couple.

[@royaltykidstv]

What’s the difference between the rf and ef?

[@marvingphotography]

Great video as always. I specially liked the pizza song, super catchy 🤘🏾😂🤘🏾

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Pizza is important

[@TanveerBrothers]

Very Informative

[@MrOhirtenfelder]

Taylor Jackson = Legit magician with a camera!!

[@MikeMena]

I just got the youngnuo 85mm (on my R5) and it’s sooo tiny, eye autofocus works at about 95% (which on r5/6) is still better than 99% of other cameras

[@Liquidtage]

I can’t decide between this or a 35mm. I have the 50mm now. But a lot of people been saying huge positives on the 85mm youngnuo.

[@MikeMena]

@@Liquidtage I got the 50mm and I would say in terms of image quality, it's about the same or better. Autofocus speed is about this same. BUT prepared for the cheapest packaging you have ever seen! lolol

[@qh_ent]

Is this better than the EF 50mm 1.4? I couldn’t see a difference using both with my R

[@drakne1]

Thanks for share this video. Very beautiful photos and very interesting your opinion about this lens. I am a Nikon user but I use a crop sensor with the sigma art 30mm 1.4. It would be a 45mm 1.4 full frame but it works fine and that is the lens that I use 70% time in weddings. Regards!!

[@ElBoyoElectronico]

Btw.: Do you also have a bit of resistance with the zoom ring of the RF 70-200 at the long end (~150-200)?

[@kyohei_west]

I’m watching in December 2022. Hopefully i can be one of the people who gets to hang out with you when you come to Japan next time!!

[@DangLeProject92]

I'm looking to get the R3 + a 50mm lens but I read review people talk about the front element of the RF 50 1.2 will moving and make noise which will affect for video work. So I'm consider getting this 50 1.8, What is your experience with the RF 1.2 for video work?

[@GirlysGurl]

For some/many R6 is out of budget, what are some other options you'd recommend for canon body?

[@danieltoth2336]

Hi Taylor Jackson! My question is that In this video useing the preset: TJ Spring 2021 T1 . If I buying the Lightroom Presets Complete Collection part of the package? Or only TJ Spring 2021 ? Thanks.

[@VisualizeHealing]

Nice video. You let an oops slip out with your non-Canon reference to a 200-500 though!😁 But great shots, great song 😂and appreciation

[@ryanhostudio]

bokeh reminds me of the Nikon 50mm 1.8d, has the same circular characteristics when shooting through trees, gives it a unique look for artsy photos but probably not ideal when the mainfocus for wedding should be the subject

[@Royalepad]

What camera is your main camera u use and like most?

[@ferdinandbautista5788]

Why does the image quality of this Canon Lense simillar to Nikon image?

[@ElBoyoElectronico]

I own the RF 15-35 & RF 70-200, but whenever I leave the house for casual use, I take my 50mm 1.8 with me, since it is so easy to use and lightweight. The bokeh can get very busy though, just like you said. For video it is difficult to use, since it focus breathes really heavily.

[@MindYaBizz_Whiz]

I tried it for video once, and then ditched it. Focus was weird. But all in all, I love this thing. Light, compact, takes sweet shots, all for $200. Stays on my camera now.

[@RalphSantiagoat]

Question. Did you ever do a full wedding day for that wedding with the scaffoldings? Interested to see how you got around that

[@anthonyc1883]

A longer lens is absolutely necessary for certain moments. There's fundamental, essential moments in most weddings that simply can't be captured from too far away. When the bride says "I do" at the altar wiping a tear from her eye, any photographer worth his or her salt had better be in TIGHT to get that fleeting moment and it ain't gonna happen with a 50. You just cannot miss a defining moment like that, and a few key others. Thanks, Taylor. I know you get that, and even mentioned a 70-200.

[@nofitlerphotos]

Awesome video as always! Love the tone of the edited images

[@quazisanjeed6395]

I'm not a wedding photographer however, do own the EF version of this great lens. Yes, I can do portraiture whole day with this lens mounted on any of the legendary 5D series DSLRs.

[@totrillermedia7517]

I shot a whole wedding with the same lens. I highly recommend it fr 💯

[@CaptainJack63]

Good to hear that! I'm planning to shoot my first wedding with it if I'm still unable to order the RF 28-70 lens in time.

[@ybmvision3866]

I love this page I just love these BTS wedding day thank you for these BTS My brother Taylor

[@prashanthkumarshetty6526]

awesome

[@richardosesphotography9619]

Yes I wanna see the full day and 70-200 photos too. But awesome video nonetheless dude thanks

[@mntn_moth]

I wish I lived in Canada and wasn’t already married so you could shoot my wedding 😂❤️

[@rybarian]

Shoutout to Dundurn Castle, great spot in Hamilton!

[@Hangiinjohnny]

I love shooting at dundurn, which church was that? Gorgeous

[@MindYaBizz_Whiz]

Bro, for $200, this thing is a ripper. My RF35mm used to stay on my EOS R, and now I find that this is usually my go to. I like the 50mm look, and I love how tiny it is. Sometimes I miss the extra FOV, but I honestly don’t sweat it as much as thought I would.

[@jonathangfernandes]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="359">5:59</a> PIZZA!!!

[@mjztx]

I wonder if stopping down some would improve the background bokeh rendering any.

[@GirlysGurl]

hey, are these photos edited or raw?

[@tonytoffolo9915]

I’m saddened by the lack of response to the celery man reference. Thanks Taylor, great content. 👏👏

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

He’s a disappearing pop culture character

[@michelehernandez3806]

What do you think about the rf 35mm 1.8?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

I like that lens a lot

[@muhammaadfakhri]

Helo bro, file raw or jpeg?

[@coltonkleins]

I'm a beginner photographer I did 2 wedding photoshoot with the 50mm 1.8 on my canon 700D 😂

[@merodack3721]

nikon S 50 1.8 or this canon RF 50? wich one do you prefer?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

They’re different. Both good. Nikon one is probably better in most ways, but this one is very good as well

[@AntonisKorakakis]

@@TaylorJacksonPhoto why do you say the Canon is very good? I haven't used it but even Canon users report several disadvantages, such as heavy vignetting and focus breathing.

[@benvallance2057]

I would love to see this lens compared to the sigma 50 1.4 ART

[@allthingscamera]

Question for anyone and everyone: Do you guys adjust your aperture for group shots or just compromise the softness on faces that are out of plane of focus?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Just put everyone on the same plane of focus so it’s not a problem. If the group gets too big go down to f4 or f8 maybe depending on focal length

[@allthingscamera]

@@TaylorJacksonPhoto yeah I try to whenever I can but sometimes things just happen too fast! Thank you for replying Taylor I learn a lot from watching your stuff.

[@ciaranconlon]

What was the lens lindsay was shooting on that day? love your Vids :)

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

I think she’s usually on the RF 35mm f1.8 or the 85 Samyang

[@cooloox]

The images look great, even straight out of camera. That lens is great value for money. What lenses was your wife shooting with?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

She’s on the Sigma 50 1.4 most of the day with a bit of the Nikon 35mm f1.8 and Nikon 70-200

[@ttea249]

💚

[@davidrosenblit]

literally just bought this lens two days ago, would prefer the L version buuuuut that's a lot of money.

[@MindYaBizz_Whiz]

I’ve had mine for 6 months. Such a sweet little lens, man

[@nishiinu]

“Hey I live in Japan”🤣 Let’s hang out sometime🔥

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

@@TaylorJacksonPhoto I live in a place called Gifu. About 5 hours from Tokyo by car. I’d be absolutely honored to have you here man.

[@DiamondWoodStudios]

Heyy!! Isnt this shoot near Toronto?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Yep Ancaster

[@DiamondWoodStudios]

@@TaylorJacksonPhoto ahhh Toronto gang ❤️ lovely shoot btw I’m trying to get into portrait/engagement shots and this was loads of useful info, cheers 🍻

[@arybaczyk]

you don't seem to use lens hood (in this video). do you see any advantage of it? or in your experiences whatever?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

It doesn’t come with one, and I didn’t buy it. I use a hood primarily as protection for the lens and not as a real lens hood

[@jgranseth]

Hey! Nice video! How does it compare to the Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.8 S?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Nikon one is even better. But also bigger and expensive

[@AntonisKorakakis]

The Nikon is miles ahead better.

[@Jlk6532]

My ef 50mm 1.8 is kind of crap. I’ve had 3.

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

RF one is pretty nice

[@Lucidexplore]

Yo también

[@Kwright304]

The difference between the 1.8 and 1.4 canon 50mm is almost nothing, the 1.2 is on a whole different level as far as clarity, color, bokeh obviously, but that middle lens is the same as the nifty fifty

[@ofthewayministries]

Great video, and love the images. The ending photos that are "straight out of camera", did you have a picture profile on those in-camera? If so, which one did you use to get those colors straight out of camera? Thanks.

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

I’m fairly certain it was just the standard profile. Custom white balance most of the day

[@ofthewayministries]

@@TaylorJacksonPhoto Oh wow. Standard profile with default settings? or did you tweak some things?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

No tweaks. I think in video mode I turned sharpness down 1 but that wouldn’t effect photos I don’t think

[@ryzenbiel4145]

yes u can ... low budget just shot only like prenup using natural light and pay u 100USD why not.. u got a photos better than nothing or a phone only... i think the Client's will be so happy there photos..
