I'm an amateur photographer. It is my passion. New, younger photographers at Reddit use some strange phrases. But they are repeated: "I'm rocking a Nikon DSLR."

I want a camera with a vintage aesthetic.

I need a camera that produces a cinematic vibe.

Initial impressions of two wide aperture lenses: Canon RF45mm F1.2 STM vs. Voigtlander RF 50mm f/1.0 for Canon RF

i only intend to keep one of these lenses. I have not tested them yet with their intended use: portraits in low light. I have tested them on static objects.

My findings are similar to what online reviewers have said. Fair amount of vignetting with the Voigtlander. Some purple/green areas where there is a contrasty area. Easily fixed in post processing. The difference in background blur between a shot at f/1 and the other camera at f/1.2 is... so far...minimal.

Online reviewers commented on the joy of using the Voigtlander and the unique character of the shots. I will reserve judgement on that when I image some people. So far, i prefer the much cheaper Canon lens.
