Daytime life saver! I tried a promaster variable ND and it left an ugly cast on the pictures

After realizing how good these modern cameras are in low light, I recently old my RF 24mm 1.8 and replaced it with the 28mm 2.8 pancake. With my 14-35 F4L zoom, having a mid sized, lowish quality prime in my bag was redundant and pointless. I've always loved pancake lenses for their "always ready" feature, and this 28 is no slouch in the optics department either, as I find it's rendering wide open at 2.8 is more pleasing to my eyes than the 24mm was stopped down to the same aperture as it.

I was holding the body of my 5d3 last night and tripping off how big it was. I'm a firm believer that the best gear is the stuff that you don't mind carrying and it's crazy that this new setup I have is full frame, sits in the palm of my hand at less than 600 grams, and has the ability to pull usable images at 25600 iso. Good times to be in from a technological standpoint for us.

I went through that going from my 5D4 to the EOS R and RF lenses, crazy how light a setup can be. Hitting the airshow or race events with the R and a RF100-400mm vs the DSLR with a EF100-400mm L, a world of difference in comfort for shooting all day.

Some of these headshot apps look way better than some photographers want to admit. It’s gon be spooky out here once they get skin texture and masking down.
:wow:

the crazy thing as well is the quality these non L rf lenses give you.

I have the rf 16mm, 50mm and 85mm and they are all amazing. The only EF lens I have is a 28mm 1.4 sigma.

Not sure how much I'll use it as a hobbyist, but lots of people are gonna be caking hard with this new feature lol. Just played with it a little, works pretty good :ehh:


Crazy how much lightroom has been advancing in this last year or two. Wish they would tighten up on their selection brush feature though.
