Morning everyone! The lens's PRICE is lower than first expected: $1,499 in the US, and £1,679 in the UK.

Morning Chris from Switzerland, watching this in my commute to work 😄 So far from my limited prime and event expirience, doing mostly landscapes, owning the 50 1.2 and 135 1.8 i think the 24 is the most interesting one to me. Had the issue where a venue was so tight i couldnt really do much with my primes and had to use the 24-70 2.8 and 2.8 was too much for the low light.

I love your channel, and I have watched a lot of your videos. I have a question, and I hope you can help Dose using crop mode and clear image zoom in sony cameras affects the actual focal length of the lens ( changes the depth of field and specialy the lens distortion ) or it is just a croping in the image like croping in post ( croping on the computer ) ? I hope you can give me an answer or test this in a video. because it will help me in decisions buying my upcoming lenses

@dima1353 Ай бұрын

Most likely the correction profile will be the same as in the 24 1.8. Or very similar. If they didn't touch the distortion in the 35 1.4, then they definitely didn't correct it in this lens. So congratulations to all my fellow Canonists. Now we have a $1500 prime lens, the normal operation of which involves cropping 15-20% of the image area.

@ER-gn8io Ай бұрын

Nach erfolgter Korrektur hat die Aufnahme die vorgegebenen 35 mm Brennweite erreicht! Mehr gibt es dazu nicht zu sagen! Die Schärfe im Randbereich ist auch nach Korrektur hervorragend! Ein befreundeter Fotoenthusiast schwört auf Grund des geringen Gewichts und der kompakten Abmessungen auf die neuen Objektive mit VCM Fokus! Die Geschwindigkeit bei der Fokussierung ist Top! Wenn ich es nicht selbst gesehen hätte, bekäme ich auch Zweifel bezüglich der digitalen Korrektur!

@80-80. Ай бұрын

We knew this lens was going to be sharp. I was more interested in breathing performance and it looks minimal. Distortion levels without correction is the big question now.

@GP996_LB Ай бұрын

Why? The rf35 has proved that even with correction the corners are still very sharp.

@Skux720 Ай бұрын

Like all mirrorless lenses this is designed to be used in conjunction with digital correction, you wouldn't use the lens without corrections anyway so it's a non-issue.

0:26 "24f1.4 lenses tend to be very expensive as it's a difficult optic to design"... That was the case on SLR cameras due to the 40mm flange distance, any lens shorter than flange distance needs to be retro-focusing which requires extra lens elements, but modern cameras are short flange and so a 24mm optic should be no more difficult to design than 50mm.

@bn5fg Ай бұрын

But it is still harder. You can't fit a lens into 24-18=6mm. So you still need some retrofocusing. And wides are harder to design in general.

@christopherfrost Ай бұрын

You are correct in saying that wide angle lens design is easier now with mirrorless cameras, but it's still much, much harder to design a bright wide angle lens than a relatively simple 50mm optic

@budthecyborg4575 Ай бұрын

@@christopherfrost The only other point I know of that makes wide angle optically complex is the Angle of Incidence, where APS-C gets an inherent advantage due to the smaller sensor area, but among Full Frame systems RF mount is very wide at 33 degrees and Nikon Z mount is the widest of all at 41 degrees.

@boredgrass Ай бұрын

24mm generally problems with sharpness? How come? I thought (educated in film times) 24mm was the widest lens with still "normal" image characteristics. That got me thinking: How about a video about the general characteristics of the different focal lengths? You offer very good background informations as they apply to the gear you review. But given the pace and the way lens engineers use every trick in the book, like Artisan using a fresnel lens in their 500mm f11, it seems to me a good look at the physics and engineering of lenses could be helpful, especially for beginners, but not only for them! I for my part still have to figure out what focus breathing is.

@Vantrakter Ай бұрын

Funny how the aperture ring works for stills photography on some cameras. Every system has its quirks I guess and these are a new batch of lenses. 1800gbp is more expensive than the Sony 24/1,4 GM but then cross-system-comparisons are kind of pointless. Every camera system is moving upmarket though it seems.

@ER-gn8io Ай бұрын

Die VCM Objektive sind für mich indiskutabel da der Blendenring für Fotos mit Kameras die vor Juni 2024 ausgeliefert wurden nicht nutzbar ist! Auch die Aussage das der Fokus und die Blende verändert wird bei Berührung des Blendenrings wenn man zum Beispiel mit einer R5 Mark I oder R6 Mark I und II Videos macht ist ein absolutes Ausschlusskriterium für mich und viele andere! Wenn Canon sich selbst sabotieren will dann sollen sie das tun! Es wird den Erfolg der VCM Objektive schmälern! Ich bleibe aber trotzdem Canon treu wie seit mehr als dreißig Jahren! Viele Grüße aus Deutschland!

Even if I could invest in the RF glass system, this lens, again, is simply way, way too expensive. I like landscapes and the 24mm focal range would be useful, however I simply don't need a 1.4 wide angle lens. A 24 1.8 would appeal, as , generally, 1.8 would be the minimum aperture for landscape shots.

Jeder muss selbst entscheiden was ihm wichtig ist! Wenn der Wechsel zu Sony für sie richtig war, hat das mit allen anderen Fotografen gar nichts zu tun! Man muss sich nur lange genug etwas einreden und irgend wann glaubt man selbst daran! Im übrigen sind die Marktanteile von Canon stetig gewachsen was ihre Aussagen nicht bestätigt! Ich bin selbst immer Canon treu geblieben obwohl ich die neuen Objektive ablehne. Das ein Blendenring mit einer neuwertigen Kamera nicht für Standfotos genutzt werden kann war für mich ein Ausschlusskriterium! Deswegen stelle ich aber nicht alles in Frage! Jeder soll mit seiner Fasson glücklich werden!

Distortion and vignetting are corrected digitally so it's no longer an issue. Modern mirrorless lenses are designed to be used in conjunction with digital correction which enables smaller and lighter lens designs.
