No es el mas rápido en el enfoque pero lo vi preciso y cumple. Las imágenes son nítidas.
Seguiré probándolo pero por ahora estoy satisfecho
This is a good portrait lens and for the price, certainly worth it. The alternative is the RF 85mm F1.2L which costs about $2500. This lens, for about a fifth of the price, is a decent alternative. It comes with a sort of Macro facility which may be good for product photography. I say, "sort of," because the magnification is only 0.5x. It cannot deliver what professional Macro lenses do. But then, we get what we pay for!
I am having fun trying out my latest RF lens with my Canon EOS R6 body. 🙂
f/2.0 vs f/1.8 on the old lens – this really didn’t matter much to me. The performance of the old lens wide open wasn’t great. I used f/2.2 or above for most of my shooting with it. This new RF lens however produce excellent results wide open at f/2.0. The bokeh it produces is very good too.
And of course, this new RF lens has IS, close focusing distance and 1:2 macro. All useful features.
Before buying this, I was concerned about 2 issues – slow and noisy autofocus and geometric distortion. Neither turned out to be issues for me. Autofocus is noisy but it is fast for normal shooting (0.5m to infinity). Manual/focusing for Macro (0.35m – 0.5m) is difficult, but Macro in general is difficult if you want to do it right. Geometric distortion (very minor pincushion distortion) is harmless, especially after lens correction.
I am not much into videos, so no experience there.
I am a hobbyist with 25+ years of experience using SLR, DSLR and now mirrorless. I very much appreciate the smaller RF lenses Canon is producing (I use RF 85 f/2.0, RF 35 f/1.8 and RF 16 f/2.8) to go along with compact bodies such as R6. Photography is fun again!
