From where I live, Pana 85mm f1.8 about $1000 AUD and Sigma 85mm F1.4 about $1400AUD definitely not half price. 630g is not a heavy lens, pana is about 350g. Nearly the same image quality I am not ...

A compact drone has 10bit 4k 150mbps DLOG or HLG better than full frame sony A7III's 8bit 420 100mbps. Kudos to DJI to provide 88deg FOV not some super wide angle. A lot of times drone shots look...

All Canon needed are $2k 300F4 IS like Nikon 300F4 pf. It accompanies well with various 70-200, and please make it compatible with RF 1.4X 2X converter. 400mm DO although nice, at north of $6k, ...

Equally childish is to defend things you purchased and praise the slow noisy STM as 'plenty fast enough' 'may bring other benefits'. Just ask yourself, would you be happier if the news lens ...

EF f1.8 uses USM motor from 1991. Shame to Canon 30years later they put STM motor in the RF85f2 and call it an upgrade. If rf 85f2 uses the same old USM motor in EF85f1.8, I think a lot of people ...

I am mostly talking about utility and flexibility reason 100-400 gives you the freedom of composition and movement you would not be able to do with 800F11. IQ wise they might be close enough in ...

How is the 85IS af on R? Is it fast enough for continuous tracking a non cooperative child? Ask since I don't have R5, only a RP should be pretty similar to R. Thanks

Get the sigma, the one you passed on, dg dn 85mm f1.4 This is the portrait lens to get, small and light, F1.4, fast af, bokeh smooth, what else would you want? Panasonic F1.8 isn't cheap either, ...

Sell both and buy a RF 24-105STM lens. Best walk around lens until Canon announces new RF compact primes. It is really sharp, really light, with R5 F4-F5.6 is not a problem. It focuses faster than ...

Practically RF extender is just nightmare

They have a different optical formula EF AF 85mmf1.4 already. The RF85mm F1.4 shares the same formula as Sony FE 85mm F1.4 which came out several months before RF mount for mirrorless only. There...

Samyang's Current RF 85mm f1.4 isn't a reversed engineering I am pretty sure.

Wonder if there is a plan for RF version. Currently RF mount doesn't have even one option for wide angle prime. Samyang 18mm 24mm Sigma 20mm 24mm 28mm all have market potential if made in RF mount....

I would wholeheartedly go for option3, image quality is superb with either lens, IBIS+IS gives you 8stops, price under budget, and weigh the least. Unless you do indoor sports I don't think ...

Shooting style aside, scientifically LCD uses less power than EVF in almost all modern mirrorless cameras. Check manufacturer claimed battery life, LCD gets more shots rated.

You put a 450mm lens in front of R6 for birding, get a 20mp picture. Or you could put a 300mm lens in front of R5, and crop the middle 20mp out of the 45mp picture, you will get 20mp picture with ...

I would drop the 50STM and go with 24-70F2.8IS instead of 24-105F4L, if budget is not enough for RF 100-500 get a EF 70-300 nanoUSM II first. Trust me, unless you do indoor sports, 70-200mm is not ...

$7k is very generous budget to start out a kit. Congratulations on coming back to photography. I would go R5 for better croppability in birding, sports or events, higher dynamic range at base iso, ...

Fantastic example. 100mm Makro has insane resolving power.
