At just $99 it’s the most affordable lens in the firm’s range. Canon’s value proposition for a high-speed lens is the modest EF 50mm f/1.8 II. In second place, Canon’s ultra-high speed EF 50mm f1.2L is a popular choice for imaging pros but with a price of just under $1,600 this isn’t an option for everyone. Sharing the number one spot for the best performing standard or ‘normal’ lens for the 20Mpix Canon EOS 6D is the $499 Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM, the macro-oriented, manual focus Zeiss Makro-Planar T* 50mm f/2 ZE and the ultra-compact and portable Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM, each achieving a DxOMark score of 28. However, now if we look at the overall DxOMark benchmarking scores (which assess the overall IQ by taken into account sensor’s noise, color behavior and dynamic) the differences are less noticeable.Ģ – Canon EOS 6D versus Nikon D600: IQ of D600 is slightly higherīest standard primes for the Canon EOS 6D Looking at some of the best performing lens models, we can see that the Sharpness (P-Mpix) scores for the two cameras show a similar efficiency and that the 10-percent or so extra pixel count may the reason for the slight advantage.

If you’ve been following these reviews you’ll have noticed that the same lenses performed repeatedly well but what is a surprise is that just how close the scores are against the far pricier Canon EOS 5D Mk III. As one might expect, Canon’s L-series lenses perform very well, as do newer models from the firm and those made by third parties.Ĭarl Zeiss Makro-Planar T 100mm f/2 ZE CanonĬarl Zeiss Distagon T 35mm f/1.4 ZE CanonĬarl Zeiss Makro-Planar T 50mm f/2 ZE Canon While the 20.2M pixel count of the Canon EOS 6D seems a little modest, it’s quite clear from the high DxOMark scores that the sensor is capable of delivering very high image quality and resolution. We’ve analyzed over 95 different full- frame models on the Canon EOS 6D ranging in focal length from 12mm to 600mm. The inspiration behind this series of articles is to highlight exactly which lens models are capable of achieving this, helping you to make sound choices, either when buying new, or when wanting to deliver images with maximal image quality. Although on paper the 20- Mpix Canon EOS 6D has a lowly pixel count compared to cameras like the Nikon D600 and Sony Alpha SLT-A99, our data shows that both the EOS 6D camera and the 22-Mpix Canon EOS 5D Mk III are able to match or exceed those cameras in sharpness when paired with the right lens.
