My RF 24-70mm 2.8 has less than distortion than these 1.4 primes. Such a shame by Canon. Charging $1500 for L lenses that rely heavily on corrections.

First! Beautiful lenses. Although I really don’t like the trend of relying on in-camera corrections. I miss the old days when L-series lenses meant top-tier optical performance on their own. But maybe this is just the direction all brands are headed.

@@gusthecanonrebel thats called coping. You dont pay thousands of dollars for a lens for it to “have character”. These lens should be as perfect as possible thats why your paying premium. If you want character go get a 400 dollar lens or go vintage they will have plenty of character. You would rather have a plain canvas and add character through ur own filters and post production. I am not spending time fixes flaws in my lens in post. Thats just an extra step I shouldnt need to take. What excuse do canon have when Sony has a full premium line up of lenses with excellent optics. All their lenses are very compact too. They are currently on their second revision of lenses and canon still struggling to release basics.

The 24mm has so much barrel distortion it must be like a 28-30mm after corrections, right? Optics at this price should really be performing incredibly well without digital corrections, If they wanted to make smaller lighter lenses at the sacrifice of raw glass performance (before digital enhancements), they shouldn't be charging L range pricing if the glass's performance is actually mediocre.

It would be awesome to be able to configure the ring to control the iso in haptic steps, so I can accurately switch between full stops in manual mode. That would make up for the cumbersome way to change iso on canon r7.

Do we know if lens corrections get applied in-camera if shooting in raw on say the C400? Or is there a foolproof way that Resolve can apply the corrections? I wouldn't rely on an editor to eyeball the correction (or even remember to do it at all) if handing the footage off... I know the compressed modes will do it in-camera if you enable the setting.

@@baekmedier I was wondering this too. But can it be a z lens? When you look at the 15-35 and extend the barrel, that’s pretty much the distance the length of the lens if they wanted to make it internal. Not too much real estate to add the power connections to the lens for the power zoom adapters. My thoughts are if they do peruse a wide angle zoom, it’ll most likely be made to a similar size of the current 24-105 and 70-200 and just be lighter than both. Either that or they don’t go with the power zoom and just make shorter internal zoom version of one.

@baekmedier Ай бұрын

@@gusthecanonrebel I think the power zoom is to expensive for only using it with one lens. at least for my production needs. But if it fits all three lenses..

@gusthecanonrebel Ай бұрын

@ that would be pretty sweet. I need to look more into the adapters. Right now I have my own make shift zooming adapter using the DJI focus motor while on a gimbal. Since the zoom ring on the 24-105 is pretty easy to move it works like a charm. So I haven’t really found the need for the adapter yet. At the moment I’m not really zooming in camera for effect unless it’s a fast zoom in which I hold down the custom button to lock focus and zoom from 24 to 105 fast or vice versa by hand. On gimbal I just hope the focus point doesn’t move much. The parfocal look on these are sooo pleasing!

Hey everyone, I’m quite frustrated with the RF prime lineup. I was hoping on the 24mm but not really. I only use photo for stills, landscape, Astro, low light street, sometimes portrait. So for me the best option would be an adapted EF 24 1.4 II or what would be its flaws?

@yummm8775 Ай бұрын

DO NOT buy the EF 24 1.4 II. That lens has a notorious problem in autofocus. I didn't know this 2 years ago so I bought 2 copies and both are defective. I would just buy the new RF version. Forget about the distortion. You're not using film. Everything now is digital and anything digital can be easily fixed using software. The problem with the new prime lens is that Canon is trying to cater to video shooters at the same time so the priority changed to making sure the 24, 35 and 50 have similar weight and size.

@bebespurs Ай бұрын

Maybe I don't understand something but 1600 Euro and a words like "acceptable", "can be better", "not bad", should not be in a same sentence. Mediocre performance, relying on a camera corrections is a joke.
