Canon Red Line Challenge - Why You Need an Ultra Wide Zoom Lens

[@CanonEurope]

Good luck everyone! ❤📸

[@fernandoguerrero2895]

I agree about the versatility of wide angle for traveling. I use Olympus, I used to carry my 12-40mm (24-80mm in full frame) but since I tried the 8-25mm (16-50mm in full frame) I use the wide zone all the time, it is so versatile when traveling and exploring cities

[@GroundhogOZ]

24mm needs more love ... it is great at a crop camera (fov almost like 35mm at FF) and I prefer it over 28mm on FF as well.

[@lifesbeautiful3024]

Great job, Kai! I actually just bought this lens (RF 14-35) and F4 is plenty for outdoor shots. I’ll be using mine for landscapes

[@DJphotoandtech]

Bought an EF 16-35mm f/4L a few months ago and I love it! I use it on my EOS R with the EF to RF adapter. I bought it secondhand, but in virtually-new condition; I paid AU$800 when it retails here for AU$2000. It's easily the sharpest lens I have and my current favourite to use.

[@MitchSprague]

Agreed. 17-40 L is my favourite and "go to" lens.

[@top6ear]

People made fun of me for buying a 8-15mm ... they all ended up borrowing it.

[@JerylJ]

I realise that I dont know the right people yet 😂

[@charlesjames9783]

I love it but use it mostly for fisheye shots.

[@lookpro.rideslow]

I love the wide lens look. I mainly shoot cycling and when I use my 20mm I do my best to shoot at angles to make it look like an old school skate video or just have a huge shot with my subject dead center.

[@adhiantos]

One of my favourite lens ever is the Sony 16-70mm F2.8. Such a fantastic lens for traveling!

[@andgainingspeed]

The 16-35mm gets more time on my camera than others lenses in my travel kit. Looking forward to the updated Sony GM in hopes of it being slightly smaller/lighter and stronger on the 35mm end.

[@corykphotography]

I shoot Olympus Microfourthirds and I am with you on this. The wider the better. Sadly the widest I've shot it 12mm which captures images closer to 24mm field of view in the 35mm world. I one day want the Olympus 8-25mm lens. Essentially a 16-50mm lens. Would be great.

[@thatguyoverthere115]

Olympus also has a 7-14 2.8! I want to try those as well.

[@jowija7105]

Was just recently in Tokyo and took photos from these exact locations, endless street photography possibilities there.

[@Parkhill57]

The only lens I've used since 2004 is the Canon 2.8 L 16-35. I use it now on my Sony with an adapter. It's heavy, but it's paid for.

[@l00t3R]

I mainly use 15mm-85mm does the job for me. If i want a wider angle i just swap out to a dedicated wide angle. Nice shots mind.

[@thenexthobby]

In an urban setting, you'll crop ultra-wide images unless you enjoy loads of clutter in your compositions. I really like my old EF20mm 2.8, thanks.

[@mvp_kryptonite]

I should take the efs10-22 for a spin, it’s my least used lens really but this video proves I’m missing out

[@MartinFroland]

Nice to see a video in you good old dig.rev. style. Are you back in Hong Kong or just on visit?

[@cageliner]

Years ago I bought a Tamron 10-24mm 1:3.5-4.5 for using on a couple of Canon Rebels. The odd thing about that lens is that it has an EF mount but EF-S glass. With the crop factor it's more like 16-38. Still plenty wide. However, it will mount on my 6D and I can zoom out to just a smidge past 14mm, making it an actual 14-24mm on full frame. I use it for closeups on cars, mostly. Especially any car with fins. I call it my ultra weird lens.

[@Sander_Hollo]

You said photoshop is not allowed,but what about lightroom? Simple post process with ccolors dosnt hurt right?

[@thebitterfig9903]

I didn’t really get UWA zooms. Then I was offered a great deal I couldn’t resist on a Fuji 10-24 at the FLCS, and I get it now.

[@jukeboxjohnnie]

Yes we agree!, I’ve never liked 24mm give me 28mm and 20mm any day!

[@reels738]

Is it okay to upload shots taken with a smartphone or not?

[@DigitalSamTV]

17-40 F4 L is still my fav and crazy sharp and quality for the price.

[@downdeek]

Hi kai, why i find a lot ads of eos r50 and poweshot v10 on internet but can’t find youtuber review it? Is the products really bad?

[@largophoto]

hey Kai ..some of the best stills I have seen from you ...awesome street photography

[@xxGravyBabyxx]

Can't wait for your Nikon Zf video! see you in a couple weeks!

[@jessejayphotography]

Still waiting for a good RF 28-200ish f/4L lens. Tamron has the excellent 28-200 f/2.8-5.6 in E-mount with excellent quality.

[@ANOMALY_TIFF]

Anyone know what kind of backpack that person on the right is wearing at 3:03?

[@betabloxx]

It is the Takara Tomy Gacha Backpack

[@gewglesux]

Love Jpan..... watching with the audio off love the scenery..Next time Take a Leica.

[@matthiasbruns8570]

Maybe you like it because the field of view is so familar today. It is basically the range of most smartphones, just zoomable. Edit: Love goes out for sharing the RX-78-2. I‘m a fan! ❤

[@TerraThink]

I never really liked ultrawide. Too much distortion, you have to get really close and the background still looks too far away. But I can see myself using 20mm and above :) So if the standard 24-70 started at 20 instead, that would be greeeat ;)

[@floninguyen3130]

It's time for rf 50mm 1,2

[@Glen.Danielsen]

Kaiman, thanks mammothly much for these incisive insights! Cheers, chap! 🇺🇸💛🇬🇧

[@pasqualray1337]

Are you still in Japan?!

[@pixelpeter3883]

But be very careful with filters while ibis is trying to compensate for your camera movement (=> vigneting) ;-)

[@veeaa]

Ah that's what it was.

[@Augnos]

The 24mm hate 😭

[@-grey]

I learned the 28mm with electrical tape on my GRIII. I somehow made it a perfect 2:1 crop and shot like that for a year, eventually I took off the tape and everything made sense. Fully recommend.

[@thebitterfig9903]

Not that tape won’t get there… but I’d love if more cameras offered wider aspect ratios than 16:9. I don’t think any APS-C or m43 offer it, IIRC only Panasonic and Sigma on FF, and Fuji GFX. How hard is it for more black bars on an LCD screen?

[@manuthchek]

I've been doing a lot of 2.39:1 by setting 16:9 crop in camera, somehow I almost always get the framing right for 2.39:1

[@royleow]

Woah Kai W and Kai W junior! So cute!

[@gameshoes]

Man, that vignetting of that 14-35 F4 at 14mm is pretty atrocious. Sure, it's "corrected" for still photos but it sure does show during video. Software correction is the new norm but, really, Canon has relied on software far too much for some of their zoom lenses.

[@thomashedge6614]

Currently trying to save up for a R6ii or R5 so this competition definitely interests me!

[@jukeboxjohnnie]

For goodness sake get a R5, you won’t want any less when you’re playing with the files. If you’re in the UK you can get one sent from e infinity to UK only £2500.

[@spaqin]

I can take part in a Canon challenge when they open up the mount :^) otherwise I'll keep enjoying my 3rd party lenses on other systems.

[@mixiepalms8338]

14 40 f4 l my fave lens

[@ianmilne655]

Love my 24mm Takumar prime👍

[@backslashio]

I accidentally cornered myself by only taking a 50mm prime to the west side of Japan - big mistake! Ultra wide to wide was needed so often and I couldn't do a lot of photos

[@AlSuChess]

Canon needs to make a 28-85mm f1.2

[@charlesjames9783]

It would be huge. Bigger than the RF28-70. It would also cost a fortune. I have the 28-70 f2 and 85

[@rikmills]

Wow, I didn't realise London's Chinatown was so huge!!!!

[@definedphotography]

not sure if serious looks like he was in Tokyo 😉

[@rikmills]

@@definedphotography NOT serious. 😁👍

[@definedphotography]

@@rikmills😁😁

[@bimmerfan2126]

I really like my Sony 12-24 2.8 ;)

[@Robinators]

well, i ,loved my 10-22 on crop canon...

[@TW-iu9zy]

… better using the Sony f2.8/12-24 GM - best wide angle zoom so far. 😀

[@Mathew-vlogs]

The lens I’m look for is a, 12-240mm f1.4 constant aperture, perfectly sharp throughout the focal range, and super light weight. All for about $99 U.S. I know one day this will exist. 😂😂😂😂

[@randomsheep2949]

Ohh malaysia isnt part of the countries in the giveaway

[@mixiepalms8338]

meant 17 40

[@keslol]

5:30 kai with a kidnapped child :D

[@kevinpang4597]

i was thinking the same thing haha

[@redauwg911]

Nikon 14 to 24 2.8 best lens ever

[@chrisvalleqatsi]

My 12-24 GM is a natural born moneymaker 📸🤘🏾

[@trevorantunez8926]

wait...what lens is Kai showing off in this video?

[@SantaFe5811]

I was in Germany for Christmas. Someone can try grabbing my 15-35mm F2.8L IS RF out of my cold, dead hands. I cried a bit shelling out cash for it, but the best lens I’ve ever had. Sorry @ 70-200 F2.8 RF!

[@KeigoMoriyama]

Oh no!!!! You are here in Tokyo! Didn’t know that :( Still here?

[@Crazy4Yasu]

Welcome to Japan🇯🇵

[@auxmike718]

Lol! I have that very lens. It’s great indoors…

[@77dris]

I'm using the Sigma Art 14-24 f2.8 on my EOS R6 Mark II and it's SPECTACULAR! Perfect AF, sharper than any wide lens I've ever used, and way cheaper (and wider) than the Canon 15-35.

[@Intensecure]

6:50 so Terry Richardson ended up in Japan...😅

[@grogu.]

I'm 70-200mm F/2.8 guy . 😊

[@stuartbooth1259]

4:43 that vignetting 😩😥 is it really as bad as it looks?

[@player3prime]

After becoming a gearhead I've come to realise that I only use my 70-200 on the street and a 85mm prime for places where I don't want to be too intruding

[@AKSKMY]

Rip Asia can’t participate

[@nicolasletellier6162]

I am the only one who doesn't like wide angle ( and even less ultra-wide)? Really 35mm is the widest I can deal with and most of the time I would even prefer not to use it.

[@1traincapital]

i agree

[@Ronnie_Rahman]

First. Never done this before lol

[@TheLipardi]

f/1.4 gang for 24mm primes.

[@lemmor6791civ]

papa Kai!!!

[@MuffFlux]

Chapstick, brother.

[@lewcehjitl3282]

The new Sony 16-35 gm ii f2.8 is going to be ground breaking 😊. Now is the time to switch.

[@usuallyroamingrob3427]

Laughs in generative fill

Thanks for content

ok you can read chines

[@FLOODOFSINS]

😂. The fundamental rights at work was signed only two years ago by the CEO of Canon. Gosh, he must have been bored at home while on vacation during covid and was like well I guess I should sign this saying about modern slavery 😂. I know this KZbinr will eat it up and he'll sell my products.
