[@elleita8397]

Jared Polin you can lock the control ring so that it's only accessible when you hold down the shutter button. So the only time you could accidentally hit it is when you're taking the photo and due to the EVF you would probably notice the lighting change. I've literally never had a problem with it, so I'm not sure why you hate it.

[@thegoodly]

Jared. The control ring is only activated when you half press the shutter. Therefore you can’t accidentally adjust it as you say. At least no more than any other control. Have to say I wouldn’t be without the control ring. Love it.

[@KonnorGann]

Colin Roberts thank you!

[@lyndenedwards2269]

I came here just to type this, thank you Colin!

[@JonisKanonis]

The half press requirement is a setting, I’m guessing Jared has it disabled.

[@MrZombs123]

I have it set like this.. either the shutter half press or the AF-ON on the back can activate it and it's pretty nice. I still have the M-fn button customized to be able to change ISO, etc. when im using an adapted lens, but the ISO on the control ring is nice and makes things quite a bit faster. Same with setting my touch bar thing to adjust my kelvin scale since I always use that setting for white balance.. but only activated to slide across and not tapping the left n right.. therefore i don't accidentally press it. love that thing. :)

[@thegoodly]

JonisKanonis hmm probably. Although it was on by default on my rp. Don’t know about the R

[@LilioCamere]

I feel like this video has a much higher contrast than typical.

[@JaredRibic]

Just got the RF 28-70mm f/2L and now this lens is next on my list. I won't have the issue of confusing the RF 28-70mm f/2 with the RF 15-35 f/2.8L because the RF 28-70 f/2L is so HUGE! Totally agree with you about the rear lens caps, feels like a step backward compared to the EF rear lens caps.

[@maresonyates6129]

I have the control ring set to ISO, but it's locked so I have to half press the shutter button for it to change. Works for me!

[@roelofjansevanrensburg9467]

Hi Jared I use the Control ring for ISO, and yes , you can accidentally change the ISO, but there is an option that you first have to press the shutter halfway before you can alter the ISO via the ring. This works just fine.

[@vivelafrance8400]

Manual focus is still a thing in 2019 and will remain a thing for a lot of photographers. Just think about astro people. I like to set the aperture on the lens because it is a parameter of the lens so it makes sense to me to set the aperture with the lens customisable ring (just like you would with a manual aperture lens). Then I set the shutter speed on the top dial and the ISO on the rear/top dial (these are parameters of the body). This way, I don't have to spend time in the menu to change exposure settings. The customisable ring is the furthest ring from the body so you can't really touch it inadvertently...

[@lyaxedm1825]

[@michaeltalamantes3256]

I use the command ring for my ISO settings, I've never accidentally changed the ISO on the fly. I even sometimes forget that it's there.

[@froknowsphoto]

I don't need to change ISO quickly generally and rather have it not active. That's my personal preference for sure.

[@drkskwlkr]

Michael, are you able to roll the command ring for ISO past ISO100 to enabled Auto ISO? Because this is my only major annoyance with the touch bar on the EOS R and I would buy the EOS-RF adapter with command ring if it works like that. For the record, I can program a sliding move to switch between ISO100 and whatever upper limit I select in Fv mode, *but* I can't make it to switch to Auto ISO; for this I have to use the touch screen or reset all values (again, in the context of Fv mode which I find myself using all the time in place of M).

[@michaeltalamantes3256]

Jared Polin Yeah I agree I rarely change my IOS often, but when I shoot weddings and I need to go from outside to inside it’s really convenient to have my ISO settings on the command ring.

[@GreatNate]

Jared Polin listen to your viewers comments. You can enable it so that the ring only works with the shutter button half depressed. It’s a nice feature, no reason to go back to lenses without it. You’ll eventually figure it out and get on board.

[@michaeltalamantes3256]

Ivan Arnaudov Yes it does go from 100 to auto ISO so you can activate the auto ISO function from there.

[@seanjoe551]

I use the control ring (EF to RF) on my R6 for Kelvin and I love it, stopped using Auto WB, less to do while editing. It's really nice to see the temp in camera.

[@kenjiyamamoto423]

100% agreed! same here.,

[@counterfit5]

I use the ring as White Balance. Yes, it’s available through the M-Fn button, but it’s a little faster with the ring on the not that frequent occasion it needs changing.

[@Lionroarr]

I set my control ring as an ISO. It works great for me.

The ring is perfect for adjusting the WB while shooting video. 🙂

[@photoyed]

You can configure the control ring on the lens to be active only when you half press the shutter. This way you don't turn it accidentally when taking out of the bag, etc. In addition, there is some customization available for the dials (direction and function).

[@ZadakLeader]

This, also useful for cameras which don't have dials or too few dials

Can we have a comparison rf 15-35 vs rf 24-70 for vlogging ? Great video btw !!!

[@austinbvi]

I would love to see this too. I would in general love a video discussing the best lens arsenal for video. Peter McKinnon says he almost only uses the 15-35 and an 85 prime shooting on the EOS R. If I could only get 2 lenses would a better pair for the 15-35 be the 24-70 or some prime lense in or slightly above this focal range (like the 85mm)? Use case is 100% video--mostly vlogging w/ hopefully some clean b-roll & studio talking head shots.

[@CheeseOnEverything]

Set the ring to unlocked only when focusing. Such a great feature

[@summus-nubibus]

Hey Jared, why you guys don't create a line of FroKnowsCaps for RF lenses that do not require to be aligned to fit on the lens?

[@og7650]

For the control ring: you can program it the way that it works only when the shutter button is half pressed if you’re afraid that you change it accidentally. But even when it’s set to be working “all-time” it still works only when the meeting of the camera is on (which means few seconds after hand pressing the shutter). Unlike Fuji lenses. Give it a shot:)

[@froknowsphoto]

We know that, we still don't like it.

[@og7650]

Jared Polin thanks for your answer. I was just thinking that it could be misleading to say that you can change it accidentally. In my opinion, the chance is the same as changing your settings with the other controls (dials). Thanks for your review though, great job!

[@k.o.t.o.n.]

@@froknowsphoto when will tamron 28-200 and 17-28 go to canon? will it ever?

[@andreashoyer4662]

I use the control ring for switching between autofocus modes when I'm shooting events. It's far in the front where so I don't have to worry to touch it by accident.

[@StuartJamesMedia]

Jared, the control ring is configured mainly so it only works if you half press the shutter to make adjustments so you need to be a numpty to make those mistakes. ISO and exposure compensation are only the things which you are likely to set it to and if you have the R then its really useful due to the button option on the camera. If you have the R5 to R6 then its not so much an issue as you already have three dials on the camera and an additional one on the lens is more of a bonus. For me the ring is set to exposure compensation with the button half pressed and works brilliantly.

[@josephantonio4140]

just make a settings before using the control ring is first your have to half press shutter button and then that control ring is activated to changed the ISO, as simple as that

[@froknowsphoto]

i don't want that. People keep bring this point up and we know this is possible. I have no desire to have it active.

[@TonyDo]

Just ordered this lens the other day! Can’t wait for it to arrive.

[@TheGabriel75011]

It's time for me to testify on the control ring. Personally, I use a lot and I have never activated it by accident. This is done in such a way that it is far enough from the zoom and quite distinguishable (to the touch) from the focus control (in the rare cases where I use it).

[@josephberkeley]

Thanks for the review. Well done. I've found that in my work, Canon EF 16-35 mm f2.8 L is as wide as I can go before clients freak out.

[@paullanoue5228]

The RF Caps - Go to Home Depot and get a roll of red 3M electrical tape. Put a piece on the cap at the point where in lines up with lens. The cost is $3.00. Makes it much easier and faster. You can even get other bright colors if you prefer.

[@loveraindown]

You can set the command ring so you won’t accidentally touch it. I’m tired of hearing you complain about this feature. It tells me that you haven’t even tried setting this feature. There are two ways of setting up the command ring. Go check it out and then preach about it. It’s annoying hearing you constantly complain about something that has an easy fix supplied by the manufacturer. To the point where I am contemplating unsubscribing. Please read the manual. Otherwise, please keep up the great work. 😕

[@BigZee747]

Agreed 100%, it's annoying when people don't read the options and be quick to claim it's useless for them. if you lazy reading manual, you will always be missing out, Jared. Great work otherwise.

[@grantzke]

hello! i started out my photography on old minolta and canon film cameras, and whe aperture settings are in a very similar place to the control ring. works quite well for me

[@Dahna_]

If I had both of those lenses in my bag the least of my worries would be getting them confused. I would be more worried about how I was going to use them without the use of the arm and the leg that they cost me.

Whatever you use the ring for, choose the setting that enables the shutter as needed press before twisting it.

They just gotta make themselves heard...🤦‍♀️ Well... *I* just wanna say THANK YOU for making this review and for admitting that you *meant* the photo to be at another aperture - but Nikon confusion.

Dear Jarod, I Love Canon Printers, however, I am staying with Nikon and the Z6 upgrade to my kit. You do an amazing job informing people like me with so much information on what to buy and how to buy it. I can't thank you enough for enabling me to share your works on your website. We actually get to "play" with stuff and your generosity should be applauded. I know; I know it's your gig but it really helps in making those informed discussions. Thanks so much.. pete. You are welcome by my fire anytime if you ever choose to travel that far..

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

A couple of minor points: (1) Landscape photographers frequently use manual focus. Canon's Live View touch screen functionality makes that really easy. (2) Focus distance is measured from the sensor, not from the front element. So yeah, you can get the lens way closer to the subject than the listed focus distance. If & when Canon upgrades the R, these two lenses will definitely be on my want list, although the RF 24-105 F/4L is sweet too (and available as a kit lens). Decisions, decisions...

Seems like canon has a strong line up fo RF system. They just need to come up with a good body upgrade for EOS R. I think it has become apparent, you were right, Canon is the sleeper. If they get the next EOS R body right, EOS-R will be the system pro sought after. Another thing I notice, Canon Lens has very good performance against lens flare, nikons are not as good.

As a Sony shooter I prefer the size of the Sony bodies more. But Canon is doing really well with lenses. Having the 2.8+stabilization is really good. Although, the lens is a big more heavy than I'd like to run and gun with. I'm sure optically it is really good.

I dunno why they decided to stop using it.

[@sk8rdad]

The lens hood is so large probably because Canon had lots of lens flaring and vinetting when wide open. I learned my lesson with their 16-35 EF lens. It also was not sharp until you stopped it down 2 stops. I sold it and got the 17-40mm F4 lens and couldn't be happier!

I still have a few other EF lenses but they're really not as useful for me (like my 50 mm 1.8 and 50 mm 1.4, my Tamron 15-30 2.8 II). This RF 15-35 puts my Tamron to shame.

So, my question is, if I’m not looking to use the 15-35 or 11-24 for portrait type of photography, which one would you recommend and why? I would, BTW, love the wider lens for close in spaces or large vistas. Also, sorry, I was wondering how the distortion is at 15-24? Does it look the same as the 15-35 at that? Thanks!

I'm happy to see that the RF lens are passing the sniff test.

The Canon engineers have no doubt been pouring a ton of their effort into making that happen. ;-)
