Hi Community,
I have been using a Canon 6d from the past 6 years. I am not a professional photographer but I enjoy taking quality photos of friends and family along with nature.
I am observing that the images coming from the Camera through the nifty fifty prime lens are not as sharp as I am expecting. And I am not sure whether it's the fault of the camera body itself or prime lens or is my expectations to high from the prime lens.
Here is the RAW photo I clicked using the 50 mm primes on f/3.5 aperture. I 100% made sure that the focus is on the eye of the subject.
Can anyone shed some lights on what might be wrong. Should I upgrade my camera body from Canon 6D to R8 instead or should I invest in better EF lenses to correct this issue.
The 50mm f/1.8 lens on Canon 6D is a pretty sharp lens indeed and I think I was overthinking too much about the image quality. I upgraded to a Canon R8 mirrorless camera last week and I tried taking a similar image using a 35mm f/1.8 prime lens and this is how it turned out:
Here is the zoomed in view:
The image from R8 with RF 35mm f/1.8 definitely looks sharper compared to the EF 50mm EF lens on the 6D. A naked eye won't notice much though on zoom out. I will keep the newly purchased R8 since I also like the lightweight nature of the body and touchscreen convenience.
[P.S: The canon 6D does feel rock solid and high quality on hands compared to R8's light plasticky body]
