    • @iamToddNorris
      @iamToddNorris 8 месяцев назад

      Hey 👋. This is an EF mount lens so you'd need an adapter to use it on an EOS R camera and while I've never used this lens on an mirrorless camera, I would think it would deliver the same, if not better results because of the newer sensor and improved autofocus capabilities of the EOS R cameras. The only negatives I can think of have to deal with the adapter you'd have to use... It adds weight, size and cost. Canon offers a 100-400mm RF lens that would fit your camera and while it's not as bright as this lens, it's zoom range is longer at 400mm. I think you can pick it up for around $600 usd. If that's out of your budget and you already have an adapter then I'd go with this lens. It's a great lens. Hope that answers your questions.

      @@suarairham not sure how long it will be cause I'm a couple of videos behind as it is. So let me give you the steps you can try right now. 1. Get 6 feet ( 2 meters) from your subject. 2. Zoom in to 250mm. 3. While looking through the viewfinder, start moving slowly towards your subject. With each step, halfway press the shutter button. You should hear a beep letting you know the camera has locked focus. Eventually you'll get too close and the camera will not beep on the half press. That means you've gone past the minimum focusing distance. Back a little away from your subject until you hear the beep again on half press. 4. Frame your shot and take the picture. I used a single point focusing type and I shot these in Av mode (aperture priority) with the aperture wide open. Also make sure you have good light. This lens needs a lot of light for clean images. Hope this helps. 👍

      Hey Cosmin Danes 👋! I think these were jpgs. I used little to no processing on these photos. If the photo looked a little washed out, I'd add some contrast using the color curves adjustment to match the other photos in the collection. There's no color adjustments or sharpness or anything else added. I also have a custom color profile in camera I use. It's the standard canon color profile but I back the contrast off 2 clicks.

    • @iamToddNorris
      @iamToddNorris Год назад

      Hey Nicolas👋! Sorry to hear that. There are a couple of things. You could try to close down the aperture to get a deeper depth of field or you could manually focus. The m50 has a setting to turn on called "focus peeking" which will highlight what's in focus when you turn off autofocus and turn the focus ring on the lens. It defaults to a red color but I changed mine to blue because it was easier for me too see. Personally, I've only had focusing issues with this lens in photography. It's always done a pretty good job in video. In your video's are you tracking a moving object like a face or body? Is the camera on a tripod or are both you and the subject moving?

      @@nauckland Hey Nicolas, just curious, you said the video is really bad when you pause the video... When you scrub the video are any of the frames in focus or are they all out of focus? The reason I ask is because that's what video compression does. When there's movement in a video it takes the frame before it and the current frame and blends them together. This will make a frame look blurry if you pause on it. That's how IPB mp4 compression keeps the file size small. There is an ALL-i compression that doesn't blend frames but it's only on high-end cameras. Another way to get around this is to use a faster frame rate. You can shoot FHD 60 fps if you're in USA or 50 fps if your in UK. You'll still get some blending but it'll be less noticeable when the video is playing. Of course this all depends on if your issue is compression or the lens autofocus. Anyway, hope this helps.

      Hey Cosmin! 👋 The 55-250 is a better walk around lens but the 700-300 is better for wildlife. The 50mm more reach is awesome. When I'm shooting moving birds from the boat (boats rocking and birds moving) I have to keep my shutter speed super fast, thus I have to shoot with the aperture wide open to get more light. When I stop the aperture down a little the 70-300 gets sharper. On a tripod the 70-300 resolves more detail than the 55-250 because I can zoom in closer. When both lenses are zoomed out they have a foot or more of minimum focusing distance. The 55-250 would do better in a macro situation because it's smaller and easier to handle but nether of these lenses are good for macro. Your ef-s 24mm would be better.

      @@iamToddNorris so you mean with the aperture stopped down the 70-300 will be sharper than the 55-250 ? That's interesting.. anyway your photos with the 55-250 shocked me , really blew my mind. Honestly i told you i never seen something like that before (and i ve seen so so many lenses reviews / lenses comparison). So really good job mate. Yeah the 24mm is good enough to me.. i thoght 55-250 will do better for some macro because of the zoom range

      @@cosmindanes9435 Thanks Cosmin! For what it's worth, almost every shot in that 55-250 video is at the minimum focusing distance and at the end or close to the end of the zoom range. That's why there's a lot of bokeh in those shots. It was also shot in the afternoon so, good light, close up and zoomed in! 😂

      @iamToddNorris Год назад

      Hey Cosmin Danes 👋! The 18-55 is just a tad sharper if you pixel peep... but the 18-135 gives you more reach and little better stabilization. If I was shooting video I'd get the 18-135. For photography I'd choose another lens... Probably the ef 70-300mm. It really depends on what your shooting.

      @@iamToddNorris thanks mate, but how can be 18-55mm sharper than the 18-135mm? I heard the opposite, like you said "a tad sharper" but in favour of the 18-135mm. I mostly do landscape where i got my 55-250mm and for portraits i got my 50mm f1.8.. i was thinking at the 18-135mm more as an walk around lens. (For the moment i got my 24mm pancake to do the job)

      @@cosmindanes9435 there can be variances in each copy of the lens due to the precision of optical manufacturing, but generally speaking, it has been my experience that lenses with bigger focal ranges have to make sacrifices some where and usually that's in the optical performance. It's just physics. In most cases prime lenses are sharper than zooms. With that said, the difference between these two lenses in regards to sharpness is minimal, especially on the wide end. The 18-135 gets softer and looses some contrast after the 120mm mark but it's minimal. That's been my experience anyway.

    Great video. I am in the market for that very same lens, so I am trying to understand the issues beforehand. The fact that live view does not produce the issue makes me hopeful the lens will work fine with mirrorless cameras - they basically operate in live view 100% of the time. Keep up the good work.

    thanks for sharing your video! Beautiful shots! I have a Canon 90D and searching for a lens to take shots of birds and nature. I was thinking about the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM Lens USED one but it is still expensive. I'm a beginner and do you think the EF 70-300mm IS II USM lens as 2023 is a good buy? If I understand the right way, if I buy this lens ( EF 70-300mm IS II USM lens) I will have 1.6 x more zoom, right? thanks in advance.

    • @iamToddNorris
      @iamToddNorris Год назад

      Hey edgard cafe 👋! And thank you. The crop factor is determined by your camera, not the lens. Since the 90d is a crop sensor camera, any lens you put on it will be x 1.6. So the 100-400mm will be a 160-640mm and the 70-300mm will be a 112-480mm equivalent. The 100-400mm L lens is going to be sharper and have a lot better build quality (weather sealing, lens coatings, metal - not plastic etc...) . It's a pro lens with a pro price. The 70-300mm is a pro-sumer lens. It has more plastic and no weather sealing but the optics are very good and it's lighter and easier to handle. Since you're just starting out I would definitely recommend the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM. It will match your 90d perfectly. If later down the road you decide to go with a full frame camera or you win the lottery, that's when I'd look into 100-400mm L. :) Hope this answers your questions.

    You have the error! The EF-S designation is for APS-C only. On APS-C it is not the equivalent of 35mm but the real 24mm.

    • @iamToddNorris
      @iamToddNorris Год назад

      Hey Starej Fotr 👋. I promise, the focal length of the ef-s 24mm is the same as a 38.4mm on a full frame camera. You still have to account for the crop factor. It's the same with micro four third's or medium format lenses too. All lenses focal length designation is based off full frame (35mm) measurements. If you want a true 24mm focal length on a Canon apsc, you'll need to use a 15mm lens. It doesn't matter if it's an ef-s or ef lens. If you search for this lens on bhphoto.com and look at the overview tab, it will list the focal length equivalent. 38.4mm. Hope this helps and thanks for the comment.

    Not so on video. I've had this lens for 4 years. I love it I use a speedbooster and just what you said usually at 18 video is not as sharp unless you move close to the subject. This thing really shines with close ups I film weddings so say when I'm filming the ladies getting ready and film close up usually I'm at 24-35 at 1.8-2.8 because I want the background blurred out it's sharp but there's time when things are soft to not focus if the lighting is really low, say in reception and they turn the lights way down. I have the docking station but the person sent me the wrong cable.

    • @iamToddNorris
      @iamToddNorris 2 года назад

      Hey 👋! Yes, you could fill the frame with smaller birds using this lens. I've even used the ef-s 55-250 when shooting smaller birds in my back yard. It's all about how close you can get to your subject without disturbing them. Some birds are more skittish than others. Are you using a crop sensor camera or full frame? On a crop sensor this lens is 105-450mm. It allows you to be a good distance away. At 300mm and 25 feet away from the subject, the frame is 1 foot 10 inches wide and 1 foot 3 inches tall. At 50 feet it's 3' 9" x 2' 6". At 10 feet, it's 6 inches x 9 inches. The Photo Pills app I use has a FOV (field of view) calculator. It comes in handy for birding. It's available for both android and iPhone. Hope this helps.
