Hey bro, I've left a couple comments, hopefully you see them, I need help with getting a affordable and quality lens for talking head content on YT, basically I want a wide view, like the class KZbinr look with a blurry background, with me in focus, I'm a super noob, any direction on a decent lens for this would be great please, I plan to buy 1 necessary lens tomorrow

[@coach_yo]

Thanks for showing the R50 some love. Would love to see what a more extreme kitted out rig would look like

[@DeSireeAlicea19]

Thanks for continuing to make canon camera content!! It’s hard to find nowadays!

[@tender.branson]

I bought Sigma 18-35 1.8 and so far this is my main (and the only) lens to go with R50. I think it makes sense to also have 1st and 3rd, thanks.

[@drvanthedentist]

Is it heavy?

[@ashjcoronado]

Pretty nice set but I’d add a small super zoom to the list for travel and walk around general purpose photography, the 18-150mm RF-S kit lens is quite good for a kit lens.

[@Kevinskanaal]

I'd replace the 50mm with the 35mm F1.8 macro IS STM. It does depend on the use case of course but for most portraits etc, the 50mm 1.8 is just too close up if you want to shoot full body. I tried both and ended up returning the 50mm. The 35mm is sharper than the 50, has Image stabilization and can actually do some macro work if you ever want to experiment with that. The rest of the video I agree with fully. I have this setup along with the RF 35mm F1.8, RF-s 18-45 kit lens and RF-s 55-210 lens.

[@gregp74]

Agreed on the 50mm. It's a nice budget lens and I got one to go along with my new R50 body. I hadn't taken into account the 1.6 and it ended up being a bit much for me taking pics of the wife and kids indoors -- I had to stand in the next room to fit them in the frame. It's going back and I have the 28mm one coming today. I'm hoping that one's a little better for indoors and just general purpose. I could always try the 35mm also. I'm also considering the 10-18mm recommended here. I reckon I could match that up with an 18-45mm kit lens (Like New ones are cheap on MPB) and they should do everything I'd need casually.

[@Spike_147]

⁠@@gregp74how’s the 28 mm?

[@35259edgarboudaher]

The 24mm f1.8 is pretty good as well.

[@gregp74]

​@@Spike_147 I only tried the 28mm briefly. It seemed to work well. Before the return period on my R50 was up I took it back and got a full frame R8. My lens needs with that were a bit different so I returned the 28mm as well. With the new camera I've been mostly sticking with the 50mm f1.8 and the 35mm f1.8 IS. Those two seem do a good job and I've got the 24-105 f4-7.1 (not as good but it's convenient at times.)

I bought Canon EOS R 50 kit with RF-S 18-45 mm and RF-S 55-210mm, also added FR-S 10-18mm. These are my 3 lenses and a camera for 1216 euros.

The variety of textures in the kislux pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.

[@luntoinside]

Thanks Adam. I've been using the 18-150mm lens for the past year on my Canon R50 and it's performance is excellent. I might have to invest in the 100-400m lens now, it looks insane!

[@muggy5907]

I recently bought a Canon R50. I upgraded from a 3000D. I was wondering, is there any real difference between the EF 50MM and the RF 50MM? I plan on buying the mount so I can use the EF 50MM on my R50.

[@BeccsResende]

My mom bought one kislux and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.

[@GreenNeighbour]

Thanks so much, Adam. I bought the Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 lens on your recommendation. It comes with its own set of challenges, but it certainly opens up many new possibilities that I'm quite excited to explore.

[@ValerieHargett]

Great video! I just purchased a Canon R50. What lense would be good to soften skin for up-close videos? Ive never used filters and my old camera just gave a harsh look to my skin. Any help would be greatly appreciated!🥰

[@ThreadedResorts]

Is this camera good for sports photography rather than the rebel T7

[@adamharig]

Yeah the R50 will be better in almost every way. Mostly in autofocus speed, video quality, and lens compatibility!

[@JeepTJWheelin]

I've been shooting real estate videos and photos with the R50, and the Nisi 9mm f2.8 RF lens is all I use. Professional results when you know what you're doing! I might get the nifty fifty if I start shooting Airbnbs, but right now, it's unnecessary.

[@metchac]

Getting to the point right away, SUBSCRIBED! 😂

[@thomasf4605]

What do you think about the canon rf-s 18-150mm? this range really interested me but all the reviews and comments say it is way overpriced and not worth it so i dont know what to do

[@ikirikchi]

My perfect prime trio: RF 16mm F2.8 STM (25mm equivalent), super slim RF 28mm F2.8 STM (44mm equivalent) and RF 35mm F1.8 Macro IS STM (55 mm equivalent). Bonus track - RF 50mm F1.8 STM (80 mm equivalent). RF 28mm F2.8 is extremely convenient for traveling: very compact, very light and versatile in terms of its focal length (just like Ricoh GRIIIx, FujiFilm X100VI and Leica Q3 43).

[@helmhamburgerhand]

It also really depends on how you shoot. Large apertures are a must if you dont shoot on a mount or at anything outside good bright lighting. The R50 is well noted to absolutely shit the bed at moderate to low light.

[@MusikPiratCH]

In reality it's not the R50, R10 or even R7 thet isn't suited for moderate or even low light but the lack of suited lenses for this use case. Well, you could use those cheaper RF-lenses with f2.8 (16mm) or f1.8 (24, 28, 35 or 50mm) however those are not L-lenses. The Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 is the beginning of suited lenses for the RF lenses on APS-C bodies. But perhaps best suited on the R7. I'm excited for the Sigma 16mm f1.4 to come out for the RF-mount. Then we can see again how good those APS-C bodies of Canon will perform in low light condidions ... 😇

[@wilsonnkwan]

My three will be Nifty50 for potrait, RF 16mm for the ultra wide, good for street, the last one a bit tricky, I'll go for 70-200 f4L for the range. Do have to take note, because R50 is on crop sensor, which means, whatever widest apeture that we have on the lens have to x1.6 which mean the 16mm is F4.5, 50mm is F2.9, and the 70-200 is on F6.4 which means the bokeh background seperation will not be as good, but have to make do since it's an R50.

[@NavyCoyner]

Yes the color of the kislux is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…

[@KrishnaTharuOfficial-1]

Bro which camera you are using here?

[@adamharig]

[@MiGzZ_X1]

Question what is that thing around the camera to make it easier to hold?

[@adamharig]

It’s a Smallrig Cage :)

[@johnwinter6061]

Tend to agree it's a good set up and not overly expensive. Possibly consider say RF 24-105 FF zoom instead of the 50mm prime. The differences in IQ between primes and zooms is slowly disappearing. Also consider the possible loss of pixels when editing a prime versus using an ideal zoom setting and keeping all those pixels! My comparison of my Tamron 18-270 zoom I bought 15 years ago v a cheap canon 50mm prime showed the Tamron was better! So I ditched the nifty50. If you swap to FF, then the RF100-400 can be kept and used. I have a Canon RP (FF) with the RF 24-240 on it and a Canon R50 (APS-C) with the RF 100-400. Both lenses work with either body. Bit dearer than the option shown but far cheaper than a lot of alternatives. Even APS-C cameras are getting as dear as FF! I HATE changing lenses. Exposure to elements. Time taken. Fiddling around with camera bag/s. I treat the ability to change a lens as the ability to permanently fit a lens of my choice for my type of work. I've been using zoom lenses for 40 years. All the old arguments against them are becoming rather mute. The differences in IQ are disappearing. I've followed all the debates about FF v APS-C. Back in the day it was large format roll film v 35mm cassette film. 35mm won out.

[@danielschumacher6720]

Thanks for the video. Very interesting as a R50 owner 🙂

[@matteugenio]

Love my R50! Need that 10-18…

[@MusikPiratCH]

Wait for the Sigma 10-18mm f2.8! Although this lens will not be stabilized you will enjoy a better lens. On the R50 the Canon RF-S 10-18mm f4.5-6.3 isn't that bad but if you ever consider to buy an R7 this 10-18 must be upscaled internally to those 33 MP of the R7 because it only covers 25 MP (what will be enough on the R10, R50 or R100)!

[@harrietnwogo]

Which would be better for sit-down videos and Vlogs

[@diegovalderrama5772]

50mm 1.8 for sure.

[@zegzbrutal]

I run RF16, RF28 and RF100-400. If I'm sure I don't need tele, I swap 100-400 with adapting EF Sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4 contemporary. When the Sigma 18-50 RF version arrives, I'll trade that out.

[@MusikPiratCH]

Well, since the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 isn't stabilized I'm going with the Canon RF-S 18-150mm f3.5-6.3 which is even more versatile and stabilized on the R50! The 18-150 will replace my 18-45 which came with my white R50! I'll wait for the Sigma 10-18mm f2.8 and as well for the Sigma 16mm f1.4. Those two lenses should be better than the Canon RF-S 10-18mm f4.5-6.3 or the RF 16mm f2.8 (two stops worse on APS-C).

[@zegzbrutal]

@@MusikPiratCH no stabilisation isn't that much of a deal for casual daylight shooting.

[@MusikPiratCH]

Well, I'd wait for the Sigma 10-18mm f2.8 though it will not be stabilized. Also the Sigma 16mm f1.4 will be an option once it comes out! Further more the Canon RF-S 18-150mm f3.5-6.3 is a great travel lens for the R50! Although I own all those three lenses you suggest I'm really not sure you can cover all your needs with those 3 lenses. I just ordered the very versatile RF-S 18-150 because the RF-S 18-45mm just isn't the lens for all motives. (It is the kit lens that my white R50 came with.)

[@bobdemuynck9904]

I would like to see a RF version of the EFS 15-85 3.5 to 5.6. Covers for me all the useful focal lengths, but with the adapter it’s pretty heavy …

[@h.o.j2375]

The 100-400 only make sense for wild life photography, I can’t see it being use much for any other genre. It also doesn’t make sense on the R50, apsc for wild life probably would be better with R7, the higher quality apsc in canon system. The focusing is too slow on R50, I have one I would know.

[@MusikPiratCH]

Well, the R7 is more expensive. Fabian Fopp for example recommends the R10 together with the RF 100-400mm f5.6-8 for wildlife photography. The R50 isn't that much worse as the R10 and even cheaper. If you want to do some product presentation the R50 is even better suited than the R10.

EFS lenses don't fit with the Viltrox speed booster (back of the lens protrudes on the EFS lenses) and RF mount lenses are incompatible with the M50. You can use a standard EF to M Mount adapter without the speed booster lens element for the EFS 10-18. I'm loving the 10-18mm on my R50

Your other choice is use a samyang 10mm (EF mount) and adapt to RF mount. If its for astrophotography you will be using a tripod anyway, and manual focus doesnt take long either. Canon have allowed sigma and tamron to make lenses for aps-c, so afaik, they are working on a bunch of these ultrawide lenses that work natively for the RF mount(like the sigma 10-18 f2.8). I dont know when they will be released, but you should take a look a it.

[@dima1353]

I can only agree with 50mm. partially. But overall this is a very convenient and obvious set. Looks almost like an advertisement. You definitely show budget lenses. So we are addressing this to people who save money, right? So the first thing is an adapter. And the second thing is used market. Let's use imagination, as well as knowledge from many tests: 1) RF 10-18 is not exactly the thing that squeezes all the juice out of the sensor. At 10mm it crops out about 20% of the frame to even out its 10% distortion. I am really a big opponent of this “smartphone” approach. Imagine that a person has all this hidden magic in his smartphone and he's tired of it, he really wants to have control now. And what does he get with this lens? Stretched pixels, unused sensor potential in the name of compactness. EF 10-18 is not the most reliable lens, but a good copy will give a more honest result and you will still be able to use all the 22x14mm area of sensor you paid for when you bought the camera. This lens may not be so sharp wide open, but all this stuff with stretching doesn’t give any chance to corners in a new lens, closing the aperture is useless. And besides, you will see additional consequences during processing. 2) The RF 50 is an excellent lens with a wonderful bonus in the form of a minimum focusing distance, but... If there is an adapter, you can also consider the EF version. It will be cheaper. You just need to remember that RF cameras do not support linear manual focus on EF STM lenses. 3) I don't like 100-400 at all. This is 70-300, which was made longer and darker. This is what Canon is doing with its telephoto lenses now. And specifically with this lens, especially on crop, I don’t like it. This is not a very sharp lens and some tests show that the EF 70-300 usm IS II at this pixel density can be sharper even after a crop to 400mm field of view. Even if this is not the case, and the 100-400 has some advantage in detail when shooting distant objects, it will not be very significant. But the 70-300 is a more versatile lens, and at the same time it at least "almost" contains the 100-400 in itself. And you can't say the opposite. And yes, you can find 70-300 cheaper. I don't know. Maybe there are some happy people who just go to stores and buy what the sellers offer them. Do they need guides? In any case, I have not seen such people in my area. Most photographers I know make the most of their budget and yes, EF was and remains a savior. Without EF, it will not yet be possible to spend money wisely.

In addition, I consider it necessary to criticize the choice of focal lengths itself. 1) An ultra-wide-angle zoom can hardly be called a must-have lens. I constantly see beginners selling such lenses. It's a cool toy, but in a practical sense it's a much more niche tool than many suspect. What I consider a more practical lens... is a regular boring kit zoom. And again EF comes to the rescue. Because what is being offered now with mirrorless cameras is the same underdesigned nonsense as 10-18. Usual EF-s18-55 of the latest generations are pretty good. And they're dirt cheap. 2) It's hard to argue against 50, but I can suggest 35 as an alternative. There is a hidden gem on the EF-s mount and it is a 35 2.8 macro IS stm. Yes, it is darker, but it is sharp wide open, has a more versatile focal length as an “everyday prime” and has stabilization. Really cool underrated stuff. Don't forget about ef/ef-s pancakes too. Yes, yes aperture. But again, 50mm on a crop may turn out to be a less convinient focal length outside of portrait photography. 3) Does people really need tele-zoom lens right away ? I'm not sure. Really. This is a cool toy, but at the same time a very specific tool. And the longer, the more specific. And even if you want a telephoto lens, there are safer and more versatile solutions, such as 70-200 4. The first version with a stabilizer can be found at a good price. It's sharp as a razor. And you won't lose money if you sell it right away.

Although I could buy many Chanel or Hermes bags every month, the bags I buy are much cheaper and they are all from kislux . I don't want to worry about the bags being stolen or damaged. I'd better leave the money I save to my parents, Or donate to charity.

So would these 3 replace the previous list of 4? kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4Oql3aVq7OEZ7c

Why do y'all KZbinrs keep pushing that shallow dof is somehow a professional look?

[@andrejcupac7359]

Maybe cause it is? Got nothing to do with KZbinrs it’s just how cinematic footage is made in general

[@dct124]

@@andrejcupac7359 Nope. Shallow dof is used roughly 10% to 20% of the time.

[@andrejcupac7359]

@@dct124 obviously, but that’s literally irrelevant to the point. Are you saying a shallow DOF isn’t professional looking? No ones saying having a flatter look isn’t professional just that more depth looks nice…

[@dct124]

@@andrejcupac7359 It's not. If it were, entire movies or rather 80%-90% of a films would be shot using shallow depth of field, yet it's the reverse. That's like trying to say a Wes Anderson film isn't cinematic. Just some cinematic masterpieces in recent history. The Hateful 8, The Revenant, 1917, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Inception, Interstellar, Oppenheimer, Dune, Everything All At Once, Poor Things Are the scenes with Shallow Depth of Field more cinematic than those without? No, and vice versa. What makes an image or scene more or less cinematic is the LIGHTING. Lighting has the largest impact. Location, composition, framing are secondary. Color, contrast, sharpness, movement next. Your camera, lens, and equipment are the least important in making something look cinematic. That's why you can grab an old camera, a f5.6, f8 lens and make something look cinematic. You can't throw a fast lens at a problem and think it's going to magically turn garbage into anything resembling something cinematic. If you speak to any good DP, they'll tell you its lighting. People say Shallow DOF b/c it's a bad habit and my point is that KZbinrs i.e. influencers perpetuate the false narrative. I'm done on the topic, it's a waste of time. You're not going to shallow dof your way into cinematic shots.

I disagree on the 10-18mm. The IQ is trash. Instead I would recommend the 16mm f/2.8

[@pkerry12]

wow those lens are expensive for the quality they are.... I remember when you could get a 50mm prime lens from canon for less than 50 bucks.

[@aeyde]

these shitty dark zooms are so useless. you need perfect sun to shoot at f8 especially on crop sensor what a joke

[@justinburley8659]

You gotta remember who this video is for. R50 users are either new to photography or doing it on a budget. The best way to make a budget lens is to darken the aperture. (especially on zooms) tbf tho, the 50mm and the 100-400mm are super sharp for their price. The 100-400mm is almost perfect except for the aperture

Not necessarily, you just need a lot of light to make it work decently well. I've shot great photo's with a 55-210 f5-7.1, under the right conditions. All a matter of perspective. This channel is mostly targeted to the beginner hobbyist, so for the budget this list (maybe apart from the 50mm, since you can get the 35 for not that much more and that is a way better lens imo) is great.

Image stabilisation, sharper, easier to use for portraits in busy areas. Macro capabilities as well.
