  • Have you ever wondered how the focal length of your lens influences your images?
    I often get asked: what lens shall I buy? And the first thing I try to figure out is what focal length people would need. More often than not, beginners have no idea how the focal length of a lens changes the look of an image.
    This chapter is meant to help you decide which lens you want to purchase. And after the first video, you should already have a good idea about what focal length you want to get.

      @@wolfamri You are welcome, sometimes we need to take time to leave good feedbacks on an Internet full of bad reviews. By the way, do you have a video about bridge cameras? I end up on your channel because i was looking for a good camera to take a special event pictures but i also want to use that later on. Online shopping doesn't actually work well in my country and most of the camera in my budget i found in the only famous store are bridges. But most youtubers didn't advice to buy a bridge, all of them said to either buy a second hand reflex or invest on a good camera smartphone depending on your needs. So now i'm curious, are bridges really that bad? especially the entry level because if you are looking for a bridge, you are likely on a budget, high end bridge surely have some amount of value. Do you already have a video about that or any advice you can give?

    I understand this is an introductory video for beginners, and as such it is not expected to be scientifically irreproachable, but when we introduce erroneous notions right from the beginning, this is how people grow and advance with misconceptions that will continue to confuse them until they can be unlearnt and corrected.
    For instance, there is no intrinsic relation between the focal length of a lens and its field of view. A 16mm lens would be a “normal” lens for a 10 x 13mm sensor, and I have a 165mm extreme wide-angle lens for my 8x10 inch view camera. The field of view included by a lens is a matter of the design of the lens, not related to its focal length, and a certain design of wide-angle lens may be reproduced in many different focal lengths for different formats. If you take that 16mm “normal” lens for the 10x13mm sensor and mount it on a full-frame, 24x36mm sensor, it will not include a wide angle of view, It will just “paint” a small circle of image in the middle of the frame.
    Again, I’m sorry to nitpick on an introductory video, but I have seen so many photographers arriving at university-level courses with misconceptions such as “wide-angle lenses have greater depth of field” or “telephoto lenses alter perspective”, and these have to be unlearned for the photographer to advance in their craft.

    • @wolfamri
      @wolfamri  3 года назад

      Greg, I think we have to differentiate people interested in university grade knowledge and those (the vast majority ) who are seeking quick info to make a lens choice. Most people would not watch more than a few seconds if you’d go in depth on optics in a video like this.
      I love to learn everything about photography, but when I’m looking for a recipe for cooking, I wouldn’t be interested in the chemistry or physics of what happens to food when I put it into an oven. The world is full of generalizations because otherwise we’d probably go nuts, don’t you think?

      I have a canon t7i- crop sensor.
      If I want a focal length in the 28mm region do i have to get an 18mm lens or do i just get a 28mm?

    • @wolfamri
      @wolfamri  3 года назад +1

      I know, many youtubers and others like to make this way too complicated. Why even bother to convert it to a full frame focal length. You probably have your kit lens. The numbers you read on the zoom ring are the numbers you need to get if you want that angle of view. Only if you see an image shot with a full frame camera and think: I want that focal length/angle of view, would you need to divide the focal length they used by 1.6 to get the same effect.
      Does that make sense? Did you check my video crop vs full frame yet?

    • @wolfamri
      @wolfamri  3 года назад +2

      Thanks for your feedback, Nehemiah! The a6400 is a great camera. The wider lenses (lower focal length in mm) are often used for landscapes, architecture, milky way photography. from 50mm up (on your camera, which has an APS-C-sized sensor) they are popular for portraits. And the longer they get (focal length in mm), the more suitable they are for things that are far away and you want to tear them closer (moon, wildlife). Macro lenses are usually around 100mm, they let you get very close to your subject and give you a big magnification. I hope that will give you an idea. It all depends on what yu want to photograph 😉

    Do you have any videos comparing lenses for landscape photography like you do for the portraits?

    • @wolfamri
      @wolfamri  4 месяца назад

      Hi! I’m afraid no. There will be a new focal length comparison coming up, but it’s not a landscape lens comparison. For landscape, lenses are not that critical. You can usually set up a tripod and can choose f/11 or so for a decent depth of focus (if desired). That’s the same for every lens. So for landscape you can’t really go wrong if you get everything you want into the frame.
      Surely higher end lenses will give you a slightly sharper image or less lens flare when shooting into the sun, but there is no difference like the low f-number for portraits. An exception is nightsky photography though. This is where low f-numbers help a lot 😉.

    • @wolfamri

      I don’t want to get too far into physics, but the mm describe the focal length. The physical distance between sensor sice and the „optical center“ of a lens. The longer that is, the closer the lens will bring your subject. I hope that helps!

    • @wolfamri
      @wolfamri  9 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you! But if you are buying a zoom lens, you still want to know which zoom range you want. I have talked to a lot of beginners and they really have no idea what 200mm would give them compare to let's say the regular kit lens.
      Regarding APS-C cameras. May I ask for your feedback what you would change in this video to make it more useful for people who have an APS-C camera? I have listed the equivalent APS-C focal length so that people know what they need.
      I am thinking about creating a new version and am happy for any feedback to make it even easier to understand.

      Sorry, I do not have any suggestions on how to make it more useful for people who shoot APS-C cameras.
      Over the years, I used a series of images taken with one camera (35mm and/or APS-C) at a fixed camera to subject distance but with the following focal lengths:
      2000mm
      1000mm
      400mm
      180mm
      105mm
      85mm
      50mm
      35mm
      28mm
      24mm
      18mm
      14mm
      Today, however, most of my students show very little interest in prime lens focal lengths.
      Instead, they seemed to be more interested in the following issues to help them select zoom lenses that meet their needs:
      1. In-body vibration reduction and/or in-lens vibration reduction
      2. Fixed maximum aperture vs. variable maximum aperture
      3. Narrow zoom range vs. Super zoom range
      4. Kit zoom lens vs. premium zoom lens
      5. Zooms with macro features
      6. Manual focus vs. auto focus zooms
      7. Original manufacture zoom lenses vs. third-party zoom lenses
      8. Zooms for video usage
      9. Zoom lens costs
      I have yet to find a way to give them good advice on how to select zoom lenses that meet their needs.

Would you or your viewers have an idea or solution that would help, I have yet to figure out a way to make money from taking photos, so I really need to protect my investment as that I can not afford to replace a lens.

      Hi there. Not sure, but wouldn’t the lens be less important than your eyes? If it’s that dangerous, I‘d probably try to find another activity to shoot 😂. Either way, a UV filter is probably your best bet. If you have the budget, a 24-70mm f/2.8 should be a good option. It will give you at least one stop more light.

      @wolfamri  Год назад +1

      Hi. That can be calculated with the crop factor of your camera. That is 1.6x for Canon and 1.5x for the others.
      To get the same angle of view you get from a 50mm lens on a full frame camera, you have to divide it by that crop factor.

    • @SakellarisNikolaos
      @SakellarisNikolaos Год назад

      ​@@wolfamri Maybe to multiple with 1.5x 1.6x or 2x on m4/3 so 50mm full frame lens are like 75-100mm. An APC camera lens of 18mm is equivalent 27mm 18mm is in full frame. In full frame is inpossible to use because of vignetting. When i filmed with my full frame 500mm lens adapted to olympus OMD-EM10 camera, i had a 1000mm zoom and after applied the 4x sensor crop i had a 4000mm zoom. A smaller sensor if we use a full frame lens multiply the zoom factor. the focus effect is the same... maybe i m wrong.

    • @wolfamri
      @wolfamri  Год назад +1

      I also shoot with an Olympus m4/3. Totally love it for macro and also for bird shots. For most other things I use my Sony a7IV though.
      Yes, when using a dedicated APS-C lens on a full frame camera you will get vignetting. So you have to use a full frame lens for a full frame camera to avoid that.
      Yes, multiplying the focal length is correct when you want to compare the reach of a lens - so how much it pulls subjects closer. But when you want to calculate what APS-C focal length you need to get the same wide angle (angle of view) that you get with a full frame camera, you need to divide. So if you want a really wide shot with an APS-C or smaller sensor, you need to use a very short focal length (like 11mm and below). That's why Olympus offers a 7-14mm lens. You wouldn't get that for a full frame lens.

    • @wolfamri
      @wolfamri  3 года назад

      Thanks, Bart, but you have a misconception. Not sure if you read my reply on your other question. I‘m sure you‘ll understand that on a crop sensor camera the same focal length just zooms into the image and gives you a bigger magnification. But if you want the same angle of view on an APS-C sensor, you have to use a shorter (wider) focal length. I wouldn’t call that confsing at all, because people need to get ultra wide angle lenses for APS-C when they want a wide view.
