[@thelaststandhdr]

This lens makes me speechless. Stunning Quality.

[@kennethlui2268]

This lens is sick. Need to start saving money

[@SergeyBidun]

Yes this lens is super awesome.

[@kedrickjohnson4751]

I think you are the first person to shoot with the lens wide open and I think you for that!!

[@SergeyBidun]

Thank you.

[@christinajules9290]

Love your BTS and images. I have the Canon EOS R and thinking of upgrading to the R6. Have you compared the R to the R6? Would love to see you retouching an outdoor portrait.

[@SergeyBidun]

I'm upgrading from Canon 5D Mark III, I did not own Canon EOS R. When I going have a chance to use I will create a video. I will put in list to create a retouching video.

[@jannylan8229]

I have a 16 35 mm lens therefore I am looking forward for your videos for the lens. Thanks!

[@SergeyBidun]

I don't have an exact 16-35mm lens, but I have a Canon RF 15-35mm which I use for recording behind the scenes videos.

[@chrisjohnsonfilms]

Just returned the 24-70 an hour ago to get the 28-70 as i know i'd regret the 24-70 after a bit so sucked it up and spent the extra money to have the extra stop when i want it. Great video.

[@SergeyBidun]

I really like canon 28-70. I wish it wasn't as heavy and had image stabilization. But Overal it is a really awesome Lens! It going be my Favorite for portraits!

[@chrisjohnsonfilms]

@@SergeyBidun luckily you have the R6 so with IBIS shouldn't be an issue with 8 stops of stabilization.

[@SergeyBidun]

@@chrisjohnsonfilms Yes R6 IBIS is awesome.

[@charismaticrell4206]

Would you return the rf 501.2 for the 28-70f2?

[@franksmith7390]

Would you consider buying a 135 f1.8 rf?

[@alexwertu7534]

Сергей, потрясающие работы, спасибо за труды. Будет ли у Вас возможность в перспективе протестировать R6 с новым 85 2.0 в фото и видео режимах?

[@SergeyBidun]

Пасиба большое! если попадется мне в руки эта линза то протестирую!

What metering mode do you use

[@jannylan8229]

I hike a lot on Rocky Mountains in Canada. I currently am using an old canon 6d and a 16 35 f4 lens, and a 50 mm f1.4 lens. I usually lets the camera with the 50mm lens hanging on my chest during hiking, so I can take pictures on the way up the mountain. When on the summit I will replace the 50 mm with the big 16 35 mm lens to take wide angle pictures.. But I don’t know how to take good pictures with the big lens, it seems I have to put people in the middle and have to use f8 and up. I would like to see more of your videos on the big lens. Thank you very much!

[@SergeyBidun]

For hiking, it's a good setup that you have. If you are not shooting for a paid job, you don't need a heavy and big lens, especially if you are shooting at f8 most of the time. 50mm 1.4 is more than enough to take portraits from time to time. I use big lenses such as 28-70mm, 70-200mm, and 85mm 1.2 to create portraits with a beautiful blur and big compression and have the ability to shoot with an open aperture such as 1.2, 2.0, and 2.8. I use these lenses only for paid photoshoots and projects. I would not bring a big lens to a hike or a family trip.

Good work! How are you getting the catchlights in her eyes?

[@SergeyBidun]

Correctly position subject to light you will always get catchlights. :-)

[@jeffreybiron1143]

Sir,,did you use servo in that turning movement the model did?thanks😍😍😍😍

[@franksmith7390]

Are you shooting at 70mm the whole time

[@sohamjundhare5417]

Nice video man ! Can you put some sample images in the description box ?

[@SergeyBidun]

Thank you! I will create a link with Raw Sample Image.

[@SergeyBidun]

Just Add RAW Samples to Description

Hi Serge! Can you teach me where should the model eye look at? I find it hard to handle the eye. Thanks!

[@SergeyBidun]

I will create video on this topic! :-)

[@BooSgu]

@@SergeyBidun thank you very much 😍 I appreciate your effort

[@Capturingmoents]

Do you use fill flash when shoot directly to sun direction? I love your vids. Thanks for sharing

[@vizualstudio13]

Hi Sergey. Unreal pics bro. Thinking to buy this lens but I'm normally 70-200 shutter as I love compressed and blurred backgrounds. I can see this lens can handle my needs pretty well. What focal length you have used during this session. Looks like you shoot them all at 70mm is that right?

[@SergeyBidun]

Most of the time I don't look at zoom numbers. Most shots i did create at 70mm :-)

[@nadunsenavirathna7052]

hey sergey, how is the battery life of canon R6? i hope to buy canon r6 over sony a7iv. but I'm struggling because many said that the r6 battery life is lower than sony. I shoot weddings. so can I rely on canon r6 battery life?

[@courtlandphotography]

Good job, Sergey! Where did you shoot this?

[@SergeyBidun]

I shot this in American River Park in Sac.

[@ma.ajigarkhan7540]

Bro 5d mark iv and canon r6 and EOS R and Sony a7iii which one is best for wedding photography and long term use

[@SergeyBidun]

Hi, I don't know much about Sony or other brands. Personally, I shoot weddings with Canon r6.

[@korveboa]

Does the Ibis work wiell with the 28-70?

[@SergeyBidun]

Yes I like how it works.

[@korveboa]

Sergey Bidun ok great 😊👍

[@firozpk9122]

Wedding still photography better r5 or r6?

[@SergeyBidun]

Well I think for wedding R6 fits better.

[@e1b151]

Sergey Bidun why do you think for wedding r6 is better?

[@SergeyBidun]

@@e1b151 way Less space you need for files. 20mb vs 50mb, especially when you shoot 3000-7000 images. :-)

[@e1b151]

Sergey Bidun 45 mb is better for cropping though and when all images are in focus you don’t need to take so many pictures

[@SergeyBidun]

@@e1b151 Yes it is 45mp for cropping is better! It really depends on your style of how you shoot! Mine is Jurnalistyc Style! I'm concentrating more on catching moments on wedding. And that what eats my click the most. :-)

Sergey,nice work Bro. Just a suggestion for you to make all of your videos in English as I dont understand your native language.I really wanted to understand what youve you've said in your 28 70 lens review video but since it wasnt in English,I couldn't understand a thing. I always look forward to your videos.Though you have a limited audience you'll reach a wide audience Bro.Just keep doing what you do.Better days are ahead of you.I appreciate the time effort that goes into presenting valuable content.Dont ever think of not posting videos just because your channels growing a slower pace.We're always there to support you brother. With regard to this video,I have queries about this lens the 28 70. Is this lens heavy to carry for everyday outdoor photos of on streets?Does this feel heavy,if so after holding on for how long? Does the image have a certain feel or character to it?I have a 24 70 canon lens.But I felt that the images with your lens looks razor sharp with the image looking good as the extra stop is really helpful. But I'm not sure whether I should make a switch to the lens you possess.I've saved up until now and I need 4 weeks to make a purchase. Is it better to go for 50mm lens and zoom with ones feet rather than carrying a bulky lens around Is the lens practically usable as I'm 5ft 2 inches tall.(average height).I'm a lanky guy.I'm thinking of having one lens that does the job rather than switching prime lenses as I feel switching lenses slows down my pace of work. To be more specific,I take photos of people and every day motion of life on the street.I can't specifically point a genre but something along the lines of Steve McCurry. The main things Im looking for is - 💧Sharp clear images (not necessarily like 1.4 like images) that's worth for making prints and books. 💧Good focal range 💧Good for daily usage.Should handle wear and tear and remain good. 💧Quick to capture the moment rather than focus on pixel counts. 💧Lens thats sturdy but not overtly heavy (they say the 28 70 is a beast of a lens.Is it actually super heavy or is it a hype?) 💧Take images of spontaneous moments of regular people walking or doing their daily chores on the street. 💧Less distortion of people's faces and lines. Bro I'm a person who believes in using minimal resources and make optimal use of it in the long run.I've used my 28 70 for 2.5 years now,my 85 for 3 years.So I hope you get an idea of what my requirements are.I intend to sell my 24 70 and replace it with something better. So bro,can you suggest your unbiased thoughts and help me out. Sergey thanks ahead in time and advance.God bless.

[@SergeyBidun]

Thank you so much for the support, I appreciate it! That video in Russian language was just me unpacking Canon EOS r6 with Canon 28-70mm lens, I wasn't doing a review on it as I haven't shot with it yet. I haven't shot enough with 28-70 to see how it will adapt to my photography style, so I can't give a full overview. Here are a few points that I've noticed so far: It's a big lens and pretty heavy. If shooting with this lens for a long time, your hands will definitely feel the weight. I like that this lens is really sharp and really fast. It creates beautiful bokeh, which is what I like for my portraits. This lens covers almost four lenses if you don't want to carry all different lenses with you all the time and OK to carry one big lens. I was looking for 1 lens so I won't have to carry multiple lenses to different project shoots. But the final decision is on your personal preference. Me personally, I like 28-70 way more than 24-70 lens. This lens replaces me 24mm fixed, 35mm fixed, 50mm fixed and 24-70mm. For wider shots I'm using 15-35mm. I'm planning to shoot more with this lens and will be posting more videos with this lens.

[@AB-qh7zm]

@@SergeyBidun Cool! Appreciate your honesty,Bro. The lens is one of a kind.I'd rather have 1 spouse rather than fiddling with multiple ones.✌ When you have one (lens/spouse),you value it more and make optimal use of it.This lens is like scriptures coming to life- "Carry your own cross". I hope this lens pays off in the long run as Its a big upfront investment. Looking forward to more vids on the lens,Bro. Peace✌.

Of course your hands will get tired. Change the way you hold your camera during portrait shots. You are putting all the weight on your right hand. Try it other way around, right hand up and lift the lens with your left hand.

[@SergeyBidun]

Thank you for the tip, I do hold the camera different ways at times.

I didn't realize that the R6 could go down to 50 iso. Sounds like a great feature to me. Back in the dark dark days of film and paper I used to often shoot on 64, 50 and 25 iso films. I miss that low range! How do the 50 ISOs compare to 100 ISO shots? My insta: instagram.com/tonygrantpix
