    modern mirrorless cameras are superb at night time photography

    98% as good as full frame cameras

    shoot with auto iso. go as low as u can with shutter speed. if u dont have a tripod, rest your camera on something.

    if u are shooting a photo of one single thing, rather than a scene, buying a prime lens with a wide aperture will help… the RF 50 mm is one good choice for this.






  • this is a very good question.

    i imagine that the physics of lenses and light play a part in this…

    i wonder how much of this is a business decision?

    i wanted to compare two of my better lenses… the tiny EF-M 32 mm f/1.4 and the very big and very heavy EF 85 mm f/1.2

    i put the camera on f/4 and positioned the cameras so that they had approximately the same field of view of this $100 bill. I focused in the middle of Ben Franklin’s face.

    i adapted the EF lens onto the M6 MkII: I wanted the same camera capturing the images. the angles of view may be slightly different. Contrast and sharpness? They look awful darn close to me.

    The EF-M lens cost me a few hundred. the EF 85 cost me one or two thousand.
