Favorite Photography Gear of 2023 & Wishlist for 2024
WOW! These are amazing photos! A beautiful model and the photos are absolutely fantastic! Seriously!
hello excellent tutorial with a beautiful light thanks for sharing @+
Would you guy buy a 24-70 2.8 L (ef) or the primes (L) at 1.4??
Why aren't you using a lens hood?
Thanks for the work. Thanks for financial Transparancy. Think Global... Act local. It is important.
Omg!! These are so beautiful pictures!! She is a very beautiful model ❤
The thing is this: if you were to get closer to the model with the 50 you would get much more background blur. I have used both lenses in the past and the 85mm hands down is better for portraiture. However the 50mm 1.2 is just as amazing a lens and the background blur is just as good but you have to get much closer to the model otherwise you get environmental portraits. The lens that beats both the 50 1.2 and the 851.2 with background blur is the 135 1.8 The difference between the 135 and the 85 is that the 85 1.2 beats the 135 when it comes to subject separation but the 135 beats the 85 when it comes to background blur
Right on time with this video, I have a portrait shoot this weekend with two male subjects and your posing tips will seal the deal with them! Also, like everyone else. we LOVE the way you interact with your subjects to help them relax! Thank you!
Many thanks for your 3 posing tips, as I have portrait shoot this weekend with 2 males who are NOT professional models and may be a little nervous...your suggestions are VERY helpful...again, thanks!
💖💯
showing working distance is great but would also be nice to see the background blur difference when the subject is the same size across the frame
AMAZING PHOTOS
Despite its heft, the RF 85mm 1.2 balances nicely with the R5 body - optically it's the best lens within the RF lineup (maybe together with the RF135mm 1.8) - I can highly recommend it.
VIDEO CORRECTION: someone pointed out that I mixed up the images at 9:26. Total accident! Thank you for the person who pointed it out. I will update it on my blog post. I always triple-check my stuff, but human error happens, and things can fall through the cracks. Will be updating it in the blog!
Love Jessica's fashion and girly vibe. Such wifey Material❤
My RF 85/f2 compared to my RF 24-70L. Both set to f2.8 85 and the zoom at 70mm also 2.8. The prime is sharper.
Ohhh that is interesting. That might be an interesting video to do as well! Use the popular 24-70 and set it at most of the popular prime lengths. Compare the difference. Primes are usually sharper but I know some photographers who ONLY use the 24-70 for weddings. So that could be a good idea for a video!
Jessica this is the correct spelling to “ bargain “. Thank you for your great videos.
OMG LOL. Thank you. Spell check works 90% of the time in Final Cut Pro. OOps. Thank you and I will keep an extra eye out in the future
I think you may have mixed up the images at 9:26. Btw, another advantage of the cheaper 2.0 lens is that it is also a near-marco lens. It's great for close-ups such as say, wedding rings.
Oh. my. gosh. I did!!! Shoot. I always triple-check my stuff, but there definitely are things that can fall through the cracks. I will update it in my blog post and maybe make a pinned post in the comments here. Thank you for letting me know!!
RIP to 5d mark 4😢😢😢😢
Yep , she was one of the last youtuber photographers still using it 😢. Recently I sell mine
@@gustavcosplay9775 am consindering buying canon 6D,,,,🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣RIP my wallet
@@gustavcosplay9775 I still use it! I am borrowing the R5 from KEH so I can review the mirrorless lenses on it. DONT WORRY!! LOL
NO I PROMISE I still use it! I am borrowing the R5 from KEH so I can review the mirrorless lenses on it. DONT WORRY!! LOL
Guess it's time for my third "Is the canon 5d mark iv still worth it in (INSERT YEAR HERE)" video hahahahha
Whoever is spending $3k on an 85 is either rich or psychotic.
I remember before mirrorless the best L primes were around $1000 - $1500. The price increase for lenses since they went mirrorless is insane (all brands).
@@77dris ya I really don't understand what's going on. DSLR days were when r&d big breakthroughs in lens design were happening that laid the groundwork for the amazing glass we have today. It's technically easier to make lenses for mirrorless as well. I think it has to do with cameras hitting a wall performance wise and people aren't buying bodies like they used to. In the nineties every new model iteration was a huge leap in tech. I think companies are now relying on glass more than bodies for profits.
@@77dris further with this point is I know plenty of working pros that still use 5-10 year old bodies and dslrs. I see so many of the younger photographers flexing and arguing over the latest and greatest lenses and it's kinda hilarious. My 200 I use is the Canon prime 2.8 from 1990 and I'll never trade it for some $2000 clinical thing that everyone raves about.
@@nicedward7544 I'm one of them. I use my Canon 5D Mark IV and EF lenses, one of which is 15 years old! ;) My job is to review gear, and this is one of those videos. :)
@@nicedward7544 I agree with you that a lot of people, regardless of age, like to buy the latest and greatest. I would rather put that $ toward a vacation or a handbag than another camera. Also what's funny is, I second shoot for someone who even though I have told multiple times I am most familiar with my Canon 5D Mark IV, they insist I shoot on my mirrorless R camera (that I use to film youtube videos on- love it for that) because they "prefer the mirrorless look". I was gagged because mirrorless doesn't have a "look" it's just the technology. It might look a little different but honestly, in the end result. It's not. Perfect example.
Wow f2 is still very good
It is amazing
I still use my 85 f/1.8 USM with an adapter and it is still amazing. Would love to eventually upgrade, but it is doing the job pretty well.
💖💯
f/2.0💯
Right!!!
Great Video
Thanks for this.
Question i own a 5d mk iii i shoot fashion runway portrait and photojournalismi want sharp lmages and great colors Do you recommend rhe camon 5d mk iv or the sony a7iii
Beautiful work. Question how good is the picture quality agents the Sony a7iii
the 85mm shots are pure S3X, just take that wider look from both, 85 isolates the subject and the foreground and the background melts away into a delicious gooey sauce of colours. 50 backgrounds looked a bit distracting. By all means, sometimes you want to keep the background, but here it fits better
Such a great video!! Very helpful
great video and suggestions. Thank you for this information. I have a 50mm and 35mm. But I am trying to decide if I should add a 85mm. Best that I rent it and try it for myself.
Hi Jessica, Love the vive, lovely Models, I would just try a diferent composition, the Models are dead center and is not apealing TO ME, I would reconsider Justine´s choice of clothing as is not helping at all her figure, TO ME, it make her bigger that it should, and I would use diferent possing, I loved the Idea, I really hope more people would do plus size figure photo, However I would protect a bit more the details so my models can shine as they are. I hope it helps, is My honest Oppinion, it doesn´t mean is the only way, I loved as I mention the vive and all you did, Cheers
You make me want to buy this lens, good information on that lens. I have a Canon 90d and love it. But most of all I love taking photos. Thanks for sharing!!
What camera are you thinking of getting? Since this one is on its last leg?
I think you’re the first person to ever say the EF is sharper than the RF. Interesting.
If your EF 50 1.2 is sharper than your RF 50 1.2, get your RF 50 1.2 serviced - the RF is supposed to be MUCH sharper than the EF, especially wide open.
What’s weird tho is that 2 other friends I know who switched to RF lenses say the same thing as me, the EF is sharper for them than the RF 🧐 and what’s crazy is that this RF from KEH has been serviced because they inspect, service and grade everything before listing. Because otherwise yes I totally see what you mean but it’s just interesting how I’m not the only one with that take
@@JessicaWhitaker Strange - my RF 50 1.2 outperforms the 45MP sensor of my R5 even wide open at 1.2, and this is what some lens reviews here on youtube suggest, too. Do you have sample images showing your sharpness problems?
@@tom_k_d No, I don't. But I want to make 2 lens reviews where I review the RF against the EF lens counterpart using an adaptor. I am borrowing these lenses from KEH and want to make as many lens comparisons as possible from these. I plan to do an 85mm and I can definitely do the 50mm 1.2. That would be Interesting
@@JessicaWhitaker I had the EF85 1.4L IS before I switched to the RF 85 1.2, mainly to get rid of the EF's strong LOCA - otherwise, it was a nice lens. It's older EF 85 1.2 II sibling is even worse in that regard.
Canon just puts a bad taste in my mouth anymore. I shot Canon since before digital up until 5 years ago. They shot themselves in the foot and abandoned long time customers with the whole third party lens fiasco. Any new photographers that think they want Canon I tell them to stick with EF or go somewhere else lol. I'd still take a 1dxiii or 5div over any of their mirrorless simply because I can't promote their new ways. Never thought I'd stray away but here we are.
Naw. The thing Canon has up its sleeve that Sony and Nikon do not is that their adapted EF lenses work as well as native RF glass. I shot Canon for over 15 years, then recently started fresh with the R6 Mark II and got Sigma Art primes and the EF 70-200 2.8 III. They are fantastic and the AF with these lenses is more reliable than I got with a Sony A7IV with mirrorless lenses (that cam has some eye AF issues). I had the 1DIII and 5DIV for many years (shot pro with the 1D for 12 years) and the R6 II with adapted lenses blows them away for AF accuracy... it never misses. I got the Sigma Art 50 1.4 and it focuses faster than the RF versions, and it cost $959 new in Canadian money (so about $750 us or so) with a 7 year Sigma Warranty. And it's actually lighter than the RF version even with the adapter. The whole "Canon sucks because they refuse to let third party lenses" is mostly just a big RUclips meme often promoted by Sony people. It would be nice to have that third party option but it's not the end of the world because the adapter system works so well.
@@77dris not true. Sony and Nikon both do this well.. My EF 200 2.8L prime on third gen Sony is faster and more accurate AF than it was on my 5div lol... And that's on a 7 year old Sony.. Half of my glass is ef mount. Rf glass is either built like crap or way over priced. There is no middle ground where third party would sit. Not saying Canon is bad quality in any way just bad with some of their practices and policies as a company.
@@77drisabsolutely not true. my Nikon adapted lenses works even better on the Z mount.
Oh that is super Interesting. what do you mean by " the whole third party lens fiasco." what happened?
@@JessicaWhitaker just Canon not allowing third party AF lenses for their FF mirrorless.
Blog post with high-res sample images: www.jessicawhitaker.co/blog/canon-rf-50mm-vs-85mm-lens-comparison
Really good communication with your model. Very confidence building and reassuring. Great energy 👏
I never liked 50mm, everything looks too...normal, it has nothing special. I never found the background attractive, compared to other focal lengths, such as 35 85 etc. Yes, with any focal length you can take a spectacular picture, wide, tele, etc. 35mm gives you more context, creates a story behind it, if it's also 1.2...1.4 it's brilliant. 50mm is neither an ostrich nor a camel, it is a slightly unsuccessful combination. If we talk about bokeh, yes, it blurs more than a 35mm, but that's how you buy an 85mm. With a 35mm you can shoot an event like a hotel room, a hall, a closed space, a church, etc. with 50mm you have some emotions, if it is a closed space, it is difficult. Personally, it is a lens that would invest a maximum of 200 euros, in no case 1000 for 1.2.
Thank you Jessica for the helpful and informative comparison video! God bless, good luck and keep creating!
Thanks for the reviews ❤
Beautiful shoot as always! Gorgeous snaps! As always! But there is some serious focus and clarity issues with your BTS videos. If you delibertely making it soft and dreamy while editing, all good. But it's not focusing any of you, and if possible, upload with 1440p also.
Thank you so much! I agree, I don't know how to fix it. It's way too soft. I used a 50mm to film this so maybe that was the problem. I usually do an old zoom lens. But the videos I've been filming this month (they wont be out until later so idk if this is helpful) are with an RF zoom lens.
i’m wondering - how do you film these? do you have an assistant with you or is it just an additional camera on a tripod?
Good question! Yes, I have someone filming them! :)
Nice and good evening
The 50mm tells The Story, and the 85mm tells Her Story.
Cool lens bla bla bla whatever, you are very hot
excellent advice
That 5D and 85 combo is just something special even stacked up against a mirrorless it’s just magical ✨
Thanks for you’re video Im i nikon user but still Like the explanation between 50mm and 85mm. Thanks again
