[@VanessaJoy]

@@Twobarpsi thank you!

[@Fifthimagez]

I have no problem supporting you Vanessa you help me a long time ago. I’m just one little photographer, but you took the time out to reply to my messages and I’m truly grateful for that. Thank you again and Great Job video!

[@VanessaJoy]

I’m so happy to hear that ☺️ I do alway try!

[@davidschumannphotography6680]

It’s always good to see you photograph but the love for the family is great. blessings!

[@VanessaJoy]

I am wildly blessed to have kids I can photograph and a hubby that can film it!! ❤❤

[@joseotoya2102]

Great reviews. Beautiful ladies. Beautiful shots! Thanks Vanessa.

[@VanessaJoy]

Thanks for watching!!

[@sovarycreative]

Cool comparison! I have the 50mm and love how light it is. And I didn’t realize that the 85mm in this line had image stabilization!

[@CanonUSA]

Hi Corie! You can find all the details on RF85mm F2 Macro IS STM lens on our website here: canon.us/3Q2PbOm.

[@VanessaJoy]

It’s pretty great, right?

[@frankline.gonzalez-dwindt2355]

Thanks for sharing!!! another great example to demonstrate that we do not need the most expensive equipment to get outstanding photos. Have you ever used the 85 mm Macro to photograph wedding rings?

[@VanessaJoy]

Glad you like! And yes these less expensive lenses produce incredible quality. The macro isn’t what I prefer for ring closeups. For that I use the EF or RF versions of the 100mm f2.8 macro

[@Rwdphotos]

General rule of thumb for me, 50-85 for full body, 85-135 for torso, 135-200 for headshot. 50 is also great for environmental portraits.

[@VanessaJoy]

great!

** Rules I will now "shoot" by. No more guessing for me. Thanks.. **

[@JustLittleMary]

Vanessa, this is great. Thanks for it. Kiddos are crazy cute! Can you tell me what camera bag you're using there? Thanks, Mary

[@paulkarassr6253]

Actually becoming a big fan of the 50mm 1.4 now that I have a camera body with eye focus (R6 mkii) I had previously used my 5D mkiii and the 1.4 at 1.4 would produce soft focus (probably because I was moving and the focus point didn't!).

[@DavidSenteno]

I have them both. The 85mm is perfect for headshots. Next up is the 70-200mm.

[@VanessaJoy]

A great order of lenses ☺️

[@edwardstubbs3976]

** I own the Canon 6D Mark II DSLR with a 50mm lens, and I just added the Canon 85mm L lens. It's a great combinations and thanks for the tips **

[@aelaine2945]

Great video, very helpful! I really enjoyed the images used with the 85mm! * Side note would love to know where and what camera strap you’re using??

[@drdimento]

Thanks for sharing !! Have you tried these lenses on a crop RF like the R7 as example? If so, what. did you find?

[@JamesMading]

85 to 100 mm lenses are good for portraits as demonstrated here. These longer lens have more blur in the background thus placing attention on the subject although the photographer must pay more attention to where the zone of sharp focus is. Also, when the subject's face fills 50% of the frame, the 85 mm is more flattering to the facial form than a 50 mm lens. With any new lens, the photographer should check his setup for vignetting at the corners before going on a shoot. A long lens hood may be a mismatch and darken the corners of the image. A lens hood does help minimize stray, off axis light, from entering the lens and bouncing off the barrel to fog the image, although professional grade lenses do take care with internal design to minimize this problem. (I once had an inexpensive 200 mm lens that was terrible in this regard.) By the way, I did like the way this photographer posed and handled these children. She's great!

I've see some photos of wedding rings with the 85 Macro and they look fantastic

[@CanonUSA]

💯🔥

[@VanessaJoy]

Nice!!

[@easttremont718]

the 50 is $100 on BH right now with a coupon code. the value for the money is unbeatable

[@VanessaJoy]

Nice!!!

[@MichaelKilfoy-x6r]

Very nice comparisons. Well done. I have a 85mm f1.2 and a 50mm f1.2 with my 5DMIV, and use them similarly. I am wondering if I should get lenses made for the mirrorless cameras when I get one. Cheers.

[@CanonUSA]

Hi Michael! The design and technology of the RF mount on our R series cameras, has allowed for improvements in focus and image quality in the new RF lenses. There are some definite advantages to the new RF lenses. If you are not ready or able to upgrade all your lenses at once, the Mount Adapters EF-EOS R allow you to use your existing EF lenses. If you have more questions, our camera team is happy to help. Reach out to them at 1-800-652-2666 Monday-Friday: 9:00 am to 9:00 pm ET, Saturday: 9:00 am to 7:00 pm ET, excluding holidays. We hope this helps.

I recognize the two little ones but, who’s the big one 😂😂😂. Not a kiddo

[@VanessaJoy]

[@Etoshasafari]

Anyone can take a picture but you need skills to edit. The lens is ok but Vanessa is good at editing

[@VanessaJoy]

It’s funny I was actually looking back at this editing and wondering why I was in such a warm editing mood 😅😅😅 normally I barely edit
