canon_rf85_f2macroCanon RF 85mm f/2 Macro IS STM

Pros: Very high resolution, nice blur, additional stabilization, semi macro capability

Cons: Not internal focusing, Canon stinginess in not providing the lens hood (which I don't use anyway)

Opinion: I've had this lens for less than 1 year and have used it occasionally. I must admit that it is a very high quality lens, especially optical with an extremely high resolution at all apertures, especially at the maximum aperture. It's really a pleasure to look at the photos he churns out. I use it in combination with a Canon R5 and I found no uncertainty in focusing even in precarious light or balance conditions. I had the old EF 85 f/1.8 USM and I have to say that this realization surpasses it in everything except that the focus is not internal. In normal use it is something that is hardly noticeable because the travel is very limited, a few millimeters, but if by chance you activate the macro mode, part of the internal barrel is extroverted by more than 1 centimeter, maybe even more. This, I must say, is the only flaw in the objective. If it had the construction of the old EF it would have been perfect in everything. It's a shame but nothing dramatic and this does not detract from the optical qualities of the lens, which are really of the highest level. If you get the chance, give it a try. From the point of view of size, it is sufficiently contained and with the R5 it is a nice travel match also from an aesthetic point of view. It is equipped with an additional programmable dial (very convenient) and buttons for AF on/off, for selecting the range of the focusing distance and IS on/off.

canon_rf15-35_f2-8Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8 L IS USM

Pros: Sharpness, color, stabilization, optical distortion correction, flare resistance and aesthetics

Cons: only the cost

Opinion: I bought this lens as a replacement for the excellent EF 16-35 f/4. I was very undecided whether to buy the 14-35 f/4 RF, which is definitely more compact, but once tried next to each other I opted for this. I use it combined with the R5 on which it always returns a very high resolution to all apertures and focal lengths It does not particularly suffer from backlight, always controlling parasitic reflections optimally. It is the natural complement to the wide focal lengths of the 24-70 RF, another very high quality lens. The distortion is very well managed, especially at focal length 15 mm, without any software magic. Colors absolutely in line with those offered by the 24-70 RF and the same applies to the stabilization that, combined with that of the sensor of the R5, allows you to take pictures without the aid of the tripod even in low light conditions. I find the blur at the maximum aperture at 35 mm particularly pleasing. Last note, perfect mechanical construction with fluid rings without any kind of play.

canon_rf24-70_f2-8Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8 L IS USM

Pros: resolution, construction, stabilization, Nano-USM autofocus, aesthetics and additional programmable bezel

Cons: cost

Opinion: I bought after a thousand indecisions and second thoughts this lens as a replacement for the excellent EF 24-70 f/2.8 II. Basically I had to add an amount equal to the cost of a 24-70 EF used in excellent condition or a new 24-105 f/4 RF, a madness for amateur use. But it is known that not all decisions are guided only by lucid reason. I say right away that the aesthetics and ergonomics of the lens are of a high level and already these factors are very satisfying. The optical characteristics are of excellence surpassing those already high of the EF brother. Nothing super striking but tangible both in the center and at the edges where the EF paid a little duty. It works well at all focal lengths even at full aperture. I find it particularly more effective than the EF 70mm version. The stabilization is a plus because combined with the internal one of the R5 makes the torque formidable even in low light conditions. The Nano-USM autofocus is definitely more responsive and quiet than the USM version. Distortion correction is always well managed even at maximum focal length. Probably at this focal point a certain work is also done by the software. The additional bezel is a significant plus and very comfortable. For example, I use it to change the autofocus method. In addition to all this, the R5+RF coupling is slightly more compact than the tripleT R5 + adapter + EF version, another element that does not hurt. I did not report flare problems, indeed probably the management of the backlight is slightly improved compared to the EF version. In short, a little better everything except for the dimensions and weight if considered, however, net of those of the possible EF-RF adapter.

canon_eos_r5Canon EOS R5

Pros: Autofocus speed, image quality, stabilization, EVF, ergonomics and dimensions

Cons: cost, consumption

Opinion: I purchased this machine as a replacement for the 5DsR. I must admit that already the 5DsR was already oversized for my use and here we are literally on another planet. As for many, it was more of a whim than a necessity. From an ergonomic point of view I have always appreciated the setting of the Canon 5 series machines and the R5 fully falls into this category. For those who already use a machine of this recently manufactured series, the transition to the R5 from an ergonomic point of view is simple and painless. It is only lighter and more compact but it grips well. The autofocus of the machine is all to be discovered, it is literally another world. In three months of use I do not have a photo out of focus. I tried some water sports and the subject was followed with absolute precision even when he returned to the frame after being covered by some unexpected obstacle. Obviously back and front focus are no longer a problem. The machine is very responsive and always ready. From the point of view of the resolution I have made some summary comparisons with the 5DsR and without making quantitative measurements I would say that the latter prevails. The differences, however, are minimal, practically laughable. Exposure and colors are different from those of the 5DsR but I would still say perfect. The colors are by default slightly more vivid. Stabilization does its job and gives away a few more options with lenses like the 24-70 EF II that lacked them. The EFV has its limits only in low-light situations where it tears slightly in greeting losing a few frames. The machine works perfectly with my 3 EF, 16-35 f/4, 24-70 f/2.8 II and 70-200 f/2.8 II, zero problems and always effective focus. I do not find useful for the moment the articulated rear display that I often keep closed. When I needed it, often the ambient light conditions made it useless. The machine obviously consumes much more energy than a Reflex so a second battery is recommended. The only substantial negative point is the price, really high.

canon_24-70_v2Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM II

Pros: Crisp at all focal points, pleasant blurry, compact size

Cons: nobody

Opinion: Objective excellently built and able to give high performance to all focal points. For the same opening, it does not make us regret the corresponding fixes. I am using it mainly on a 5DsR and it is a perfect pairing that can give results always of excellence. It is the natural complement of the 70-200 f/2.8 IS II. In general the resolution is always excellent with a prevalence on shorter focal points. At 70 mm Maybe I find something more in the 70-200 but let's talk about laughable news. Distortion is always well controlled even at 24 mm where it is slightly more noticeable but controllable via software. For my use I do not find it heavy or bulky. Until now I have not felt the lack of the stabilizer even in the less favorable conditions where the large opening almost always allows safety times. Mechanically it is impeccable and robust. I am also recently trying it a Canon R5 on which it works very well and without creating difficulties for autofocus. The total footprint is slightly lower in volume terms than that of 5DsR. I would say that it is a advisable optics even after the advent of the new RF attack especially for those who know how to move in the used.

canon_16-35_f4isCanon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM

Pros: Image quality, size with lens hood engaged, rapid autofocus and effective stabilization

Cons: Low flare resistance

Opinion: I come from the 17-40 which I mainly substituted for the absence of stabilisation. The optics is very resolute at all focal lengths and on the entire frame (FF) already at F/4 and the stabilization makes taking home shots even at long times (1/15). Against the light works instead in a little convincing if compared even only to 17-40 that had a seal to noticeable flare. The hood is a strong point offering a substantial overall compactness. He also works very well on the 5DSr.

sigma_35_f1-4Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art

Pros: Image quality and constructive solidity

Cons: Lack of tropicalization (who serves)

Opinion: 35 mm are my favorite focal point and this is a lens that gives you detailed images at all apertures. With the arrival of the 2.0 firmware in the Canon House have been added very useful features such as the control of distortion, vignetting and chromatic aberration in the room, until now reserved only for the objectives of the parent company. I've been using it for a few years and I've never had any precision focusing problems before switching from a 5d MkII to a 5DSr. I had to buy the tap-in and adjust the autofocus in a very detailed and pain for almost two months before finding the calibration optics Bad. Now it's perfect again and at f/1.4 gives you remarkable pictures. As the focusing speed we are at a lower level than the object with the Canon USM engine, however acceptable. Vignetting is present only at large openings but often does not hurt, a matter of taste. I use it for 80% of my photos and I really struggle to staccarmene to use other lenses. For me it is a advisable and of considerable impact.

canon_70-200_f2-8_v2Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS II USM

Pros: Resolution at full aperture and at all focal lengths, effective stabilization, autofocus

Cons: nobody

Opinion: Who leaves the old way for the new, knows what he leaves but does not know what he finds. I would say that this saying well describes my feeling at the time of purchase and in the first weeks of using this lens. I bought it after selling the 70-200 f / 4L IS. The little brother was practically perfect so the doubts were a thousand. A thousand euros also the difference between what I got from the sale of the bianchino and the price of this. For sure and I expected so much. I did not get what I expected right away. With the use I became aware of the superior quality of this perspective in all conditions. Even with the 1.4x multiplier, the quality is at the highest levels and the reactivity of high autofocus. I bought it to work at f / 2.8 where it is actually easier to make a mistake, just a little. We need a little more attention to get exceptional results. Having also changed the camera body, from 5D mk II to 5DSr, I discovered the effectiveness of%3B AI-foscus or AI-servant. rnThe resolution offered is at the highest levels, proof of 5DSr.rnLo fuzzy is very pleasant on all focal lengths, similar to what you get with the fixed. Excellent colors and contrast. It is an optic that lends itself very well to the portrait. Now, after a few months, I feel satisfied. If the cost and weight do not scare, I recommend it.rn

canon_5ds_rCanon 5Ds R

Pros: Resolution, ergonomics of the camera, file quality

Cons: battery life, sometimes grumpy autofocus

Opinion: I bought it for just over a month as a substitute for my 5D mk II. I was looking more for a car with a more performing autofocus. The bodies of the 6D range did not attract me for ergonomics, the 5D mkIII even in used equipment was still at high prices. This 5DSr happened to me at the cost of 5D Mk III and I could not resist. In all above 5D mkIII. I have tested it in all possible conditions and has always behaved stupendously. The last test I did in the ground for her most arduous, that is in the gym with very poor light, artistic gymnastics, high ISO (6400 and over) and autofocus under stress, all excellent. Photo always in focus and very low noise (in absolute, especially if you resample), in any case little "nervous". Obviously if you take it to shoot only and always above ISO 3200, then you need to move towards other bodies. rnCol MRAW format (28Mpx) noise problems are solved obtaining images superior to those of a 5D mkIII even at high ISO. To get the best out of 50Mpx need lenses of the highest level and maybe even a little stabilization does not hurt. Perfect white balance. The only negative neo is the battery life that is lower than that of my old 5D mk II, I'll try with another battery. rnConsigliatissima. rnrnSee some test photos in my gallery (https://www.juzaphoto.com/me.php?pg=226602&l=it)
