RE: Sample Gallery: Canon RF 50mm f/1.2 USM L - JJ_SO - 11-19-2018 To be clear: I was asking for bokeh - not for DoF. I also took some shots wide open and roughly at distance proportions I guessed from your pictures. I'd say the bokeh of the Sigma was creamier than the one from the canon lens - which doesn't make it a bad lens in my eyes. Especially for reportage, streetphoto it's great to have a very wide open apterure and thanks to mirrorless AF also a precise focussing.

The pictures are self-explainable. Hereunder is the source of discussed document. https://lenspire.zeiss.com/photo/app/uploads/2018/04/Article-Bokeh-2010-EN.pdf At my point the text is also self explainable. RE: Sample Gallery: Canon RF 50mm f/1.2 USM L - JJ_SO - 11-19-2018 You mean "self-explanatory", I think.

That was the argument that trigger someone digging out the paper. That optical design can in fact play a role in actual DOF for two lenses with the same focal length and aperture can have different DOF. I believe the details were along the lines that DOF is defined as the area from the point of focus that retain focus and by bending the light at sharper angels you can change this area.

In my (Probably failing in this case) memory the paper seemed to just make the proposition without any actual explanation or substance? If I find it later I'll follow up with a link. I couldn't find it last night. I know it was at least 10 years ago (not one of the newer papers); and the person presented it (dug out the link) in one of the many DOF arguments. My recollection, which is not exact since I only skimmed the paper many years ago, is that it presented two real lenses and showed how one have a higher degree of bending the rays to change the area of DOF. RE: Sample Gallery: Canon RF 50mm f/1.2 USM L - borisbg - 11-20-2018 Hi Klaus, what are the chances EOS R will become your favorite camera? Size, weight, feel?

Out of the box, I thought WTF. Whether it could be more than just an interim play depends on the RF 24-105. That being said - I don't really stick to a system anyway. The only thing that I can tell for sure is that DSLRs are history for me (but that's hardly news anymore) RE: Sample Gallery: Canon RF 50mm f/1.2 USM L - you2 - 11-21-2018 (11-21-2018, 09:53 AM)Klaus Wrote: Well.

Not so much image quality but handling/weight/ease of use et all. Do you enjoy using it or do you find it a drag (even if you like the image quality).

Out of the box, I thought WTF. There's no definite answer to this. I'd say that in terms of handling, the Panasonic G9 is the best of in the mirrorless group (if you can stand its size) - for me that is. I also like the Fuji X-T concept - albeit it may be a tad too traditional (like the exp. comp.). Olympus is Ok but no joyful in my book but it all depends on the specific camera, of course. I don't know them all. Sony ... hmmmh ... there's too much design over function here in my book. If you are an EOS DSLR user, you may be surprised how different the EOS R feels although there are, of course, similarities. Whether YOU could enjoy the EOS R depends on how much you can customize it to your preferences. As mentioned I wasn't happy with the defaults but in the end, I was rather surprised how much I liked it. But keep in mind that I'm a simple guy with a preference for a simple setup. If you change details often, I doubt that that the EOS R is for you. If you come from EOS (which is where I started my journey back in the days), the Pana G9 will feel more familiar. The question is whether "familiarity" is really an important thing. I, for one, could live with 9 out of 10 cameras out there. A camera is not the thing that gives me joy - which is why this is a lens testing website ;-) |
