I have both of these lenses. EF is plenty sharp wide open for portraiture work. I’ve been using it for more than 17 years and my clients simply love it. The lens is smaller, more compact and IMO colour rendering is slightly better than RF version. RF is clinically sharp, focuses extremely fast and does everything well. I still prefer look that EF version produces. Great video!

Doesn’t show here, but the EF has more character.

Honestly, with the skills of TKNorth and Carlo, it wouldn’t even matter if it’s 50/1.8, at web size, people probably won’t be able to tell too much of a difference. Which reminds me I need to improve my skills. Great video and a great reminder that gear doesn’t matter as much. First world problems 😊

Aww thanks so much really appreciate that! That’s the biggest thing, if they are mostly viewed small on a phone, that sharpness becomes far less obvious again. Thanks for watching man 🙌

Your test is only with R5. With R6 or R with less Mpix, the old EF stay a good one and you can see the difference only at f1.2 to f1.4

tnx but did you tested this?

So you're saying pay over $1000 more for a slight but more sharpness? I'll just shoot raw and slightly adjust the sharpness on the EF. The EF is selling on eBay for $780-900; I couldn't pass that up. Great video, and all these shots are amazing!!!

The timing is perfect, I just got the RF 1.2 today! A huge fan from your rain POV video, I slowly go down the rabbit hole of watching every other one. The moment I see your pics I know that this lens has the bit of endearing render that got me. Before I can only find this feeling in the manual Zeiss lenses, like the Milvus 50 or 135, or the old Canon 85L. But this beats the other by a landslide with quick autofocus and the versatility. Definitely will be one of the GOAT. Milvus 50 was glued on my camera, until now it will change I think :)) Thank you and keep up the awesome work!

Love it!! Thanks so much for that. Haha I do the same going down the rabbit hole. Thanks heaps for watching and enjoy the RF 50, I’m sure you will!!

Have you check the AF micro adjustments before comparing both lenses?

micro adjustments on mirrorless?

to me RF looks more clinical but EF version have its own character. RF weight around 900g and EF will be around 6~700g with RF adapter with slightly bit smaller size. I think if you not gonna take some sort of 'product' photo (im very skeptical anyone use both of lense with do something like that but anyway) EF version look much more make sense.

The RF version looks really sharp. I am not sure if my wife would want that sharpness :) Also for me, sometimes I would prefer a sharp image. But other times I might want a soft look. If you want to create softer images with RF, which sliders would you adjust on LR?

@TKNORTH Жыл бұрын

For me I love the sharpness on the RF, although its sharp I don't find it too clinically sharp if that makes any sense. I tend to soften my images a bit editing also, combination of texture and clarity sliders, often for skin "Texture" more than "clarity" as its a bit less destructive. Dehaze slider is the other one in some combinations!

@jangwook__lee Жыл бұрын

@@TKNORTH Thanks for the reply! Glad to hear it's not clinically sharp. I have an EF 50 1.2 and am considering buying a RF85 1.2. I expect RF 85 1.2 is not clinically sharp either.

@M4TR1X Жыл бұрын

Agree. Actually i have R6 and love more the EF lenses than the RF ones. EF have character, RF are more flat commercial. For the win high megapixel (R5) + EF lenses. So you have your kinda "sharpness" due to high definition plus the soft look

@henrikbengtsson3566 6 ай бұрын

I find the RF rendition a bit too warm for my taste, almost in the yellow zone which can require more color work in post if light is not perfectly balanced. Just an observation. EF seems more neutral.

@anthonyrock5039 10 ай бұрын

Very interesting. The RF is definitely crispy sharp but for peoples faces the ef looked much more pleasant . The rf would be great for technical capture of objects and textures but organic look a bit harsh. Interestingly enough, that difference can be achieved with extremely slight sharpening but softening the rf would be pro mist etc. I suppose there are other beneficial aspects to the RF such as the photographic aids like auto focus and IS along with native mount for canon and RED but image quality in 2023 has moved to the extreme of clinical sameness across the brands. Flare, razor sharp optics edge to edge, no coma or chromatic ab. Etc the price of the RF 50mm for full frame is interesting as well.

There is more to lenses than sharpness. If you want a really sharp lens though, get a Sigma 50 mm f1.4 Art

Just about every ef ver1 lens has af issues with the new dpaf....since there isn't a ver2 of the 50mm 1.2 you are kinda stuck with the slower af...there is an elegant softness to the ef lens so I will generally use it for females and since the rf version is sharper I will use that for males

Don’t see much difference, it’s like 99% vs 100% Not really a huge improvement. But nice pictures at all👌

@judebraimoh678 9 ай бұрын

Great composition @tknorth. Loves the poses great job. However, It blew my mind that I couldn't tell the difference in some of the pictures zoomed at %100 watching with an 84-inch TV. If you ask me the Rf 50 isn't worth a $1000 difference IMO. I will say clients would not be able to tell the difference if not zoomed at a %100. The RF body looks great and one does not have to shoot with an adaptor makes it a steal to have. Also, it could be better at backlighting too

@Drkbardockssj 6 ай бұрын

yeah the ef 50 would need a adapter so throw like a extra 100 bucks for that and you are still making out like a bandit.

I can't find the big difference on both lenses. My usual shoots are Birthday Parties and that kind of thin line difference will not really matter. Instead of Buying the 1.2 lens, I rather buy the sigma 1.4

Doesn’t look like it’s much difference actually.
