What is the best RF lens for Portrait?

To illustrate the answer to this question, I’m linking a video from James Reader below. But first, let me share some of my thoughts after watching it.

Owning all the lenses shown in the video could easily cost you between $10,000 and $15,000. All of these lenses are Canon L-series, which represent the top of the line in Canon's lens offerings. If you’re not familiar with the 'L' designation, it signifies Canon's highest quality lenses.

While you don’t need all of these lenses, videos like this can help you decide on the look you're aiming for.

In my experience, the best focal length for portraits is somewhere between 50mm and 85mm. Many photographers opt for the 70-200mm f/2.8 lens because it covers the 80mm range and works well for events where you need to maintain some distance from your subjects. Personally, I use the EF 70-200mm L for outdoor events and my 85mm (non-L version) for indoor events. A 24-70mm lens is also handy for indoor shoots when you need to capture both the subject and the surrounding environment. 

Enjoy the video.

Shooting landscape with a zoom lens

 When you are out there shooting wildlife is impossible not to notice the beauty of the landscape surrounding you and having a camera you will feel the need to go and shoot some pictures. The problem is that all you are carrying is your zoom lens. is it possible to use a zoom lens for landscape?

The answer is yes. 

One of the problems that you are facing is the limitations getting the view that you get when using a wide angle lens such as a Canon RF 16mm or a Canon RF 28mm. While  wide angle lenses are considered the ideal lenses for landscape photography you can still "mimic" that view using a zoom lens. Below you can see an example.

If you click on this picture and zoom to check the details, you will notice that this picture is sharp from the closest to the further point.  This was achieved by stitching multiple pictures together using the panorama option in Lightroom Classic. 

Here are another examples of a pictures created with this technique.  

Using a zoom lens you can focus into a particular point of your landscape and still get a good picture. See below picture taking with an EF100-400L using an adapted to be used in a Canon R6.

A zoom lens should not be considered a limitation to take landscape pictures.

Comparing cameras for wildlife photography, what is in the market.

The first video, from Tony & Chelsea, is a 2 years old video comparing the Canon R5, Sony A1 and the Nikon Z9. Since then the 3 companies have released new version of these cameras or new cameras like the Canon R3, Canon R5 Mark II, R6 , Canon R6 Mark II, R8 and R7. Still a good video to have an idea of what are you looking for if you are in the market for a camera for wildlife photography. 
 

The second video from Duade Paton is around 7 months old and compare a large variety of cameras and lenses from the same perspective of Wildlife photography.

Duade was impressed by Nikon Z9 with a price tag of around $5500  but many other reviewers have expressed that Nikon cameras tend to "hunt" a lot when trying to capture birds in flight including Chelsea in her video mentioned here. 

Chelsea in her end voted for the Sony A1. And no doubt about it, the A1 is a super camera with a price tag of $6500. The Sony A1 is the flagship from Sony and two years ago when I decided to switch from Sony to Canon it was the only camera from Sony offering bird eye auto focus. A feature that Canon was including in the Canon R7 which was selling for around $1500. 

Conclusion: In my opinion, currently if you are looking to start shooting wildlife or bird photography, Canon ecosystem is the one that offers  better prices with more features dedicated to this genre. But to keep the cost low you may need to use the old EF lenses adapted to the new RF mount. Canon RF lenses are overpriced. No question about it. As you can see from these two videos, the market is full of options so go and get your camera which ever brand you pick and start shooting wildlife.
