You are very funny to watch. Not in a bad way. Your accent, way u joke around, great dry humor, and honest review. I'll be buying 2 of these you've recommended. Thank you Sir.
Attilio, you are one of the most talented and yet humble photographers on youtube, also a great teacher who explain things clearly and simply. Thank you for taking the time to help us, you can see that is done primarly out of love for photography. I am learning so much from you.
I am seriously blown away with how beautiful your photography is Attilio. It’s a huge credit to you, not just your photography, composition and editing skills but also that you make the physical effort to capture these beautiful scenes. The fact that you do this using the same gear I have sort of makes me feel depressed when I look at my rubbish photos 😂😂😂 However I take consolation that I obviously don’t need to upgrade my gear to the very latest super expensive gear. Keep up the awesome effort Attilio 📷
Thank you so much for this video. You confirmed some things for me. I was once facing the decision to buy the 14-24 *not 12-24 haha, and decided, after much research that all I really needed was the 16-35. Any time someone is thinking of getting into photography and they are on a tight budget I often tell them to grab a Crop sensor body, any will do and buy a 50mm 1.8. You'll learn so much with that lens and it will be with you right on through should you move into Full Frame. Few things beat a nifty fifty but in this video you got me thinking about it in an entirely new way. I'd never thought much of using it for Panos but now I can't wait to try. I did, like most eventually buy the 24-70 and I don't regret it for a moment but I think I'll start keeping my 50 in the bag cause I can certainly see why using that for Panos can reward a much better image. Thank you! I couldn't agree more regarding a telephoto for landscape. The intimacy of a telephoto comp is hard to beat. Lastly, the reason RUclips put me onto this video was that I just purchased the 20mm 1.8 for Astro photography and fireflies. I have a feeling the next time I leave to go on a landscape excursion my bag is going to be much much lighter because of your advice. The 24-70 and even possibly the 16-35 may be staying home and instead being replaced by the 20mm and 50mm. I'll however still be lugging the 70-200 2.8 Can't leave home without that one! Looking forward to more content
Having a limited budget I need a lease that does it all. I was advised to buy an inexpensive body and use my available budget on a good lense. I purchased a Nikon D3300 and a Nikon 18-140 lens. For under $1000 I could not be happier with the range of landscape photos I can take.
I take many photos along my local, wild, coastline... and, perhaps surprisingly, I find my preferred lens is an 85mm prime! Sometimes I stick a few frames together for a 'natural' panoramic frame. Yeh, I know that no one asked. ;) Oh yes, I sold my Nikon "trinity" and replaced them with a few primes... I was very tired of inaccurate/unrepeatable auto-focus and a persistent muddy red cast in all Nikkor frames.
Thanks for your explanation, Attilio. My favorite lens was the 7-14 f2.8 Olympus Pro, but I only used the 7mm and it's heavy and bulky. Now I've sold it and use the Laowa 7,5mm f2. It's 135 grams, tiny and brilliant image quality!
those are basically the 3 lenses I have used for years. My wide angle is 11-20 sigma so I agree with you. I only need to spend a fortune on filters but being retired I cannot afford them. Love you work.
I'm using Nikon D7100. I will go to NZ family trip soon. I just plan to bring along 2 lenses. Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 and Nikon 35mm f/1.8. Hope that I won't regret.
Finally going to buy the 20mm 1.8 Nikon lens, thanks to your review. I just came back to watch again, thanks again Attilio....we miss you buddy, hope all is well. take care..be safe.
One of my favorite lenses for long exposure landscape photography is the TS-E 17mm f/4L with the Lee Filters Adaptor Ring. Also the 50mm like you said for the parorama shots! Telephotos are always a must, specially the 70-200mm or the 100-400mm by Canon. Great video as always!
I'm moving away from micro 4/3's to Nikon only. I currently have the D500 but am looking to get a used D810. I was trying to decide which landscape lens to get and I settled on the 20mm f/1.8. Glad to see you love it! I already have the 50mm f/1.8 and the 70-200 f/2.8.
Your landscape photos shows that you are a true artist. I am sure you could use an ordinary kit lens and still produce stunning images. I wish I could do that! Great video. Thanks.
Well, signore Atillio, You got Yourself a new subscriber. Very pleasant voice and calmness is what I liked. And that photo taken with 70-200mm is what I strive for. Cheers from Croatia!
My favorite is the Sigma 18-35 f/1.8 ART. I use a Nikon APS-C body, and the sharpness and versatility of the 18-35 are perfect for landscape photography. For most of my landscapes I don't make use of the wide aperture, but it's nice to have it, for the occasional Astro-photography outing.
awesome stuff. I starting shooting like 2 weeks ago "very hooked on landscape shots" this video made me much more better just watching this. thanks and Mahalo.
I love this video. It seems with so many photographers recommend the majorly expensive lenses. Nice to see sensible suggestions. I also loved that you recommend the 50mm 1.8. Since I went full frame a year and a half ago just because my old dx camera died and a now friend offered me a ridiculous deal on D600 and was willing to let me make payments, even though we didn't know each other very well. (we were on a forum together). He even shipped it to me before I paid a single payment. Told me to take as long as I needed to pay for it. Since going full frame, I don't yet have a 50mm 1.8. I hope I can raise the money for one because 30 years ago when I worked in a camera store and made money, I had all kinds of lenses. The 50mm 1.8 was on my camera 75% of the time. Loved it. Now I'm disabled and struggling financially. But I hope to add a nifty 50 one of these days. I was surprised that you mentioned doing panoramic shots vertically. I tried this a few months ago and like it. Mentioned it when I posted the images, and now others are doing it as well. Love your videos. Keep them coming.
I agree with you about composing with prime lenses. I carry seven primes ranging from 12mm to135mm and I have used every lens but my favorites are 20mm and 28mm. I would suggest that you add 28mm to your bag.
I totally agree with your opinion of great lenses - I personally love the 20mm and the 50mm and the 70-200. You can shoot everything common with these lenses.
I watched all of your RUclips video that I can find and I'd like to thank you for sharing your techniques and beautiful images. You are awesome! The video above shows a few of your panoramic and long exposure images. Do you have any video and/or advises on to create those images? Again, thank you for wonderful video's you created and I can't wait to see new video series which you post every Thursday every week.
Great!. I just stumbled over this video. I have the 16-35 4.0 the 50 1.8 and a 70-200 4.0. And 6 months ago i bought a 20 1.8!!!. Just have not had the courage to leave the 16-35 at home yet!!. Great video Attilio
Fantastic advice, thank you, I am just getting into photography (@58 yrs young) and was thinking about getting the Canon 80D for my 1st DSLR, is this a good 1st camera or is Nikon better, also will those 3 favs of yours fit it? Thank again
My wife just bought me the Nikon 20mm prime for my birthday yesterday. I did couple of quick test shots yesterday of a temple next to our condo, however it started to rain so I had i stop... I'm so happy and impressed with how sharp and crisp this lens is, I cant wait to get out into Chinatown when this damm rain stops...lol
Very informative video and impressive landscape photographs. Would be further interested to see you make a video on how to take panoramic shots using Nifty Fifty. Thanks once again, Attilio for sharing such excellent insight.
Great Content. I have a Nikon D5200 with/ 20mm FX 1.8 | 35mm DX 1.8 | 70-300 DX 4.5 - 5.6 and my favorite lens is my 20mm. Which filter do you use on your 20mm?
Since I already own The Nikon 16-35 mm lens, do you think I would notice much of a difference if I were to get the 20mm 1.8 ?? Is it that much sharper ?? Thanks ...
Crazy... I've been watching your videos today because long exposure is becoming one of my favorite ways to shoot. When I came accross this video, I realized I have all three of those exact lenses AND the D810. I guess I'm doing something right. I love your videos and your work... Keep them coming.
I agree 20 mm length is absolute best , I bought the 16-35 after that but it is nothing comparison to the sharpness , sunburst and wide aperture I get from the 20 mm .
Would you recommend to buy the 20mm lens second hand from Nikon, or buy the Samyang version new? To save money. Or should I just keep on saving until I can buy the Nikon original version brandnew🙃
On Nikon full-frame, I use both the 20mm f/2.8 AF-D and the 24mm f/2.8 AF-D. On Fuji X-series, I use the 10-24mm f4 zoom (14-36mm equivalent). Best zoom lens I've ever used. I've pretty much quit using telephoto. By the way, excellent work and I appreciate your videos.
I appreciate all your great training material. I am shooting with a Nikon D500. Would you still recommend the 20mm lens when using a crop sensor lens. All lenses are a major investment and I do not want to make a mistake! Thanks, RS
Another brilliant video! I have a Nikon D5200 and due to being on a really tight budget I have bought an AF-S Nikkor 35mm 1:1.8G lens, as my first prime lens, will I be able to take landscape compositions with it or should I now save for a 16-35mm lens? Many thanks, Andy
Your website is on my favourite list. Love your work . Excellent advice on landscape photography, thank you. I noticed that you have the DJI Mavic Drone. Couple of years I got the DJI Mavic Platinum. Do you do much video work with this Drone ? Unfortunately there are too many restrictions with remotely piloted aircraft systems. I had to register my two DJI Drones with the Government Of Canada/Canadian Aviation Regulations. I can fly only by Visual Line-Of-sight at all times during flight. I can fly Model Airplanes as well but this kind is always visual line of sight. Drones are a lot of fun, but because of some inconsiderate and irresponsible people it's not anymore. Keep up the good work Attilio.
i use a 24-70 2.8 Nikon, Sigma 70-200 OPR DG OS 2.8 as it internally zooms & Focuses and does not disturbed once focus and adding filters, they are my main landscape lenses. I need to get a 10-24 but will go with sigma as used the nikon as well and no noticeable difference in performance or sharpness just the price.I got the nifty fifty too. Use a D850 full frame body
Getting into vertical (as well as the usual horizontal) photos to stitch together for panos will extend almost any lens in surprising ways (well, surprising to me!) I love using Merge for Panos in LightRoom. It works SO well. I use it for Long Exposures too. Easy Peasy.
As a Fuji shooter I use the 18-55 f2.8-4 kit lens and the 55-200 zoom primarily. For astro I use my Rokinon 12mm f2.0. I also have the 35mm f1.4 that I will try out on panoramas per your suggestion. Thanks!
I totally agree with you ! 20mm f1,8 50mm f1,8 and 70-200 f4 are the new Holy Trinity for landscapes, for the best quality/weight and quality/price ratios ! Often for speedy landscape sessions I take with me just the Sigma 24-105mm f4 that has 82mm filter thred and is tack sharp.
My 2 go-to lenses for LS photography [Nikon] are my 24mm f3.5 PC-e and my Zeiss 20mm. Yes I have the ubiquitous 24-70 f2.8 and my 70-200 f2.8, but if weight is a consideration, it's just the 2 with Lee filters, a cable release and a carbon tripod. Light enough to carry all day, and versatile enough for all pics if you plan the day. PS, excellent video.
For E-mount, I use a Tamron 28-200 f/2.8-5.6 and I often carry my Tamron 35mm f/2.8 or Sony 50mm f/1.8. I have the 85mm f/1.8 but usually reserve it for portrait work. I am considering purchasing a lens in the 18-20mm range to compliment the excellent 28-200. On A mount (Minolta/Sony DSLR) I have an ancient Sigma 17-35mm f/2.8-4, Sony 50mm f/1.4, Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Macro and Minolta 100-400mm f/SLOW. The Sigma is a bit long in the tooth and flares like no other but used carefully it can make beautiful and very sharp photos. The other 3 lenses I carry are as good as they get. I have 11 or 12 A mount lenses but these are the ones I carry and use most for landscape.
I love your lens selection. It is lightweight and budget friendly, while the image quality for landscape is amazing. For people on tight budget, I would also recommend Tamron 70-210mm f/4 Di VC USD which runs for 600 bucks!
As I mentioned before, I just moved up to a D750 FF from the D5300. My only lens at the present is the 24-120 1.4 kit lens. On a recent trip to Gorgeous Sedona, Az. I rented the 14-24 f2.8, and the 70-200 f2.8. Both were very good great sharp lenses. I was leaning words the 14-24, until I watched your video of course..:) all good. I will rent the 20 and try it out for a weekend, I do landscape and portrait, some real estate pics for a friend. The 50 is a must for me as well. But I do like taking pics with the wide angles for sure. I have a 35 1.8 but it’s for the crop camera. So should I buy the 20 or the 50 first? I’m still learning long exposure,experiments only not good. I think it’s the lens..24-120. Thank you Attilio you are my fav to watch and learn with...oh sorry about that lens that took a dunk at the Vinyard...I live not far from there in Plymouth Ma...home of the Rock..lol.
Very cool that I found this video because I'm just now wanting to get into landscape photography. I've always had a cropped sensor (Nikon D500 & Nikkor 200-500mm) and a long lens for nature and birding but recently picked up a Nikon D700 used but in very good condition and was looking at the Tamron 15-30mm and the very lens you first mention, the Nikkor 20mm f/1.8G ED. The Nikkor 20mm is going to be my next acquisition! You have a new subscriber on your channel. Incidentally, I already have a Tamron SP-70-200 f/2.8 DI VC USD G2 and love it.
Hi Sir, I will be using camcorders for video and mirrorless for photography. Can you tell me the best cheapest setup for best quality landscape photography..Also do you have a course for beginners ?
Hello Attilio, my favorite Lens for Landscape Photography is the Sony/Zeiss 16-70 f/4.0. Many details and very sharp on the A7RIII. My second favorite lens is the Sigma 14mm f/1.8
Excellent video! I have a 70 -300 and a 50 lens and have been looking for the best wide angle. I think you have what I need so that will be my next. I want to do more panoramas so I will try using the 50mm. Your landscapes are awesome!
My favorite wide angle lense has been the Tamron 17 mm f3.5 manual focus lense used primarily with my Nikon N90s. I now use mostly the Tamron 10-24mm f3.5-4.5 DX zoom lense with a Nikon D500 and with a Nikon D850. The Tamron 10-24mm covers the entire FX frame of the D850 starting at 15mm and f3.5 to 24 mm. For $500 US this is a sharp rectilinear lense.
I want to start with a new filter system can you tell me what you're currently using and what package of filters I should start with to really get going. Thank you for all the entertainment and hard work. I love watching your videos.
Hello attilio just subscribed! Love your videos so far watching more and learning! Just got a d810 a 50mm 1.8g also the 24-70 2.8 ed Nikon lens! Will these be ideal for astrophotography?
Thanks and Welcome to my channel! For astrophotography you might need a little wider lens... at least a 20mm, but start with the 24 and see if you like it...
@@AttilioRuffo thank you! Will give that a go then I had a d7100 way back but jumped into the full frame DSLR now! Love your long exposure photography hopefully one day I can manage something like that! Keep up the cool videos 😊
fantastico ho appena scoperto di avere piu o meno le lenti giuste! tokina 11-16, nikkor 18-55 , sigma 70-300 ... per ora mi accontento e cercherò di migliorare anche guardando i Tuoi favolosi video!
Hey, loved the video. Actually I'm a sony user. I was wondering whether Samayang 14mm or Irix 15mm would be better for landscapes as I'm in a very tight budget....
Hi Attilio, I have recently subscribed to your channel and its great. I too have a D810 and have only just recently got more into photography and invested in the Lee100 system. I was going to look at a sigma ultra wide as my next purchase but since it means another filter system that put me off then I saw your channel ... you have convinced me to buy the 20mm 1.8 instead. I too have a 50mm 1.4 and a 70-200mm ... so please keep up your videos so I can learn and be more inspired. Thank you.
Hi Attillio, sorry for being late in commenting but have just found your site. I use a Canon 5d4 which I love using, my favorite landscape lenses are: Canon 16-35 f4, Tamron 45 F1.8 G2 and a Canon 70-200 F2.8
I am a little bit late with my comments. I just found your channel a few weeks ago. I am using, Sony's A6000 with two kit lens and Sony A7M2 cameras. Currently using the Tamron 28-75mm 2.8 newer lens so, I am using it more often. Second lens I use is the Sony 70-300mm G 4.5-5.6. Not a G Master Lens! Don't have the money to spend on that one. Third lens is a Rokinon 14mm 2.8 not the best lens and no filter threads! Using the 14mm for night star and occasionally for a wide angle daytime photography. I have the Nifty Fifty 1.8 Sony lens. Got it on sale. It was half price. I don't use it that much! Now I am thinking to use it more after watching this video of yours! I have extension tube set for the Sony cameras also Amazon cheap. I would be interested in learning how to use Lightroom to make a panoramic pictures with the 50mm! I also sent your RUclips links to my daughter. She has a Canon entry level camera. She shoots macro photography. I gave her my Sony A7R more manual camera and my kit lens. I am trying to get my daughter into shooting raw pictures with it. Got long-winded! But I really enjoy your Videos!
I have the holy trinity but use the 24-70 most of the time and also the 16-35mm. You are correct about the weight problem! I also have ,and sometimes use, have a Sony A6500 which is so nice to carry as it is very light , very sharp with vibration suppression and I have wide angle lenses for it although it is an APSC camera.
Which is your Landscape Photography favorite lens?
I love the Zeiss 18mm distagon...
Tamron 15-30 for my FF Nikon gear and 10-24 for my FUJI gear.
That’s an awesome lens!
Very cool...
I use an APS-C DSLR & my new favourite Lens is the Sigma 18-35 f/1.8 & the Tamron 70-300 f/4-5.6
You are very funny to watch. Not in a bad way. Your accent, way u joke around, great dry humor, and honest review. I'll be buying 2 of these you've recommended. Thank you Sir.

Great review and info.
My 3 lenses for Nikon is 16-35 f4, 50 f1.8 and Tamron 70-200 f2.8 G2.
Your video was a breath of fresh air from all the other videos I’ve seen covering this topic. I’m going to go take some panoramas with my 50. Thanks
Having a limited budget I need a lease that does it all. I was advised to buy an inexpensive body and use my available budget on a good lense. I purchased a Nikon D3300 and a Nikon 18-140 lens. For under $1000 I could not be happier with the range of landscape photos I can take.

The simplicity of your videos on Photographic perspectives is amazing..

Try a 750. Just try it
Your landscape photos shows that you are a true artist. I am sure you could use an ordinary kit lens and still produce stunning images. I wish I could do that! Great video. Thanks.
Thanks a lot Matt!
Well, signore Atillio, You got Yourself a new subscriber. Very pleasant voice and calmness is what I liked. And that photo taken with 70-200mm is what I strive for. Cheers from Croatia!

You take beautiful images. Usually these types of reviews we get snapshots of foliage etc. Thes are world class.

There are quite a few fans of these lens!
the 50mm lens is overall brilliant, tried it from Canon, and now from Sony 50mm F/1.4... and the image quality is simply beautiful
Agreed!

Anche io super contento con il 20mm f/1.8 e il 50mm f/1.8
👍
Your photos are so beautiful!! I’m a big fan of your work!!
Thank you!!!
Great setup! I have a similar setup; 20mm, 28mm, 60mm macro, (instead of the 50mm, you get benefit of macro), and 70-300mm.
You are a true Master! I admire your sincere endeavor towards the discovery of the Real Beauty. I wish you the best! Sincerely yours, H. C.
Great!. I just stumbled over this video. I have the 16-35 4.0 the 50 1.8 and a 70-200 4.0. And 6 months ago i bought a 20 1.8!!!. Just have not had the courage to leave the 16-35 at home yet!!. Great video Attilio
Attilio -another great video. Informatiive and beautifully produced. You have a very nice style. Please keep the videos coming!
Thanks a lot John!
Such awesome information,love to see a video on filters,which ones to use in what situation would be so cool.Keep making these amazing videos Atillio.
Thanks Martin! The Nd Filters video will come soon...
Attilio Ruffo be looking out for that one.👌🏻👌🏻.Thanks for the reply as always.
Of course!
You have taken some beautiful pictures. Thank you for your help on lens choices.
Fantastic advice, thank you, I am just getting into photography (@58 yrs young) and was thinking about getting the Canon 80D for my 1st DSLR, is this a good 1st camera or is Nikon better, also will those 3 favs of yours fit it? Thank again
Both Canon or Nikon will work...it's really a matter of personal preference...
My wife just bought me the Nikon 20mm prime for my birthday yesterday. I did couple of quick test shots yesterday of a temple next to our condo, however it started to rain so I had i stop... I'm so happy and impressed with how sharp and crisp this lens is, I cant wait to get out into Chinatown when this damm rain stops...lol
I don't know how I get into your channel but every time i watch I learn some thing new . Thank you for your time .
Thanks a lot 🙏
Bravo.
Totally agree for lens. Best quality, low weight.
Thanks 🙏
Very informative video and impressive landscape photographs. Would be further interested to see you make a video on how to take panoramic shots using Nifty Fifty. Thanks once again, Attilio for sharing such excellent insight.
Thanks! That video is coming soon... 👍
Great Content. I have a Nikon D5200 with/ 20mm FX 1.8 | 35mm DX 1.8 | 70-300 DX 4.5 - 5.6
and my favorite lens is my 20mm. Which filter do you use on your 20mm?
Thanks mate, I mainly use Lee Filters...
The 20mm has been on my wish list for a while, I may have to get it now!!
You will love it!
I agree with you about the 50mm 1.8g. It should be in everyone's bag.
Since I already own The Nikon 16-35 mm lens, do you think I would notice much of a difference if I were to get the 20mm 1.8 ?? Is it that much sharper ?? Thanks ...
Crazy... I've been watching your videos today because long exposure is becoming one of my favorite ways to shoot. When I came accross this video, I realized I have all three of those exact lenses AND the D810. I guess I'm doing something right. I love your videos and your work... Keep them coming.
Thanks Chris! It seems we have similar lens taste... :-)
As an a rank beginner photographer I do get a lot out of your videos, They inspire me to get outdoors with my camera
I am really happy to read this. It is a great result for me!
I agree 20 mm length is absolute best , I bought the 16-35 after that but it is nothing comparison to the sharpness , sunburst and wide aperture I get from the 20 mm .
Exactly!!! 👍
Would you recommend to buy the 20mm lens second hand from Nikon, or buy the Samyang version new? To save money. Or should I just keep on saving until I can buy the Nikon original version brandnew🙃
Karlijn, if the used Nikon lens is in good conditions, I would go for that!
On Nikon full-frame, I use both the 20mm f/2.8 AF-D and the 24mm f/2.8 AF-D. On Fuji X-series, I use the 10-24mm f4 zoom (14-36mm equivalent). Best zoom lens I've ever used. I've pretty much quit using telephoto. By the way, excellent work and I appreciate your videos.
I appreciate all your great training material. I am shooting with a Nikon D500. Would you still recommend the 20mm lens when using a crop sensor lens. All lenses are a major investment and I do not want to make a mistake! Thanks, RS
You would need a wider lens for the crop sensor...
Another brilliant video! I have a Nikon D5200 and due to being on a really tight budget I have bought an AF-S Nikkor 35mm 1:1.8G lens, as my first prime lens, will I be able to take landscape compositions with it or should I now save for a 16-35mm lens? Many thanks, Andy
Your website is on my favourite list. Love your work . Excellent advice on landscape photography, thank you. I noticed that you have the DJI Mavic Drone. Couple of years I got the DJI Mavic Platinum. Do you do much video work with this Drone ? Unfortunately there are too many restrictions with remotely piloted aircraft systems. I had to register my two DJI Drones with the Government Of Canada/Canadian Aviation Regulations. I can fly only by Visual Line-Of-sight at all times during flight. I can fly Model Airplanes as well but this kind is always visual line of sight. Drones are a lot of fun, but because of some inconsiderate and irresponsible people it's not anymore. Keep up the good work Attilio.
i use a 24-70 2.8 Nikon, Sigma 70-200 OPR DG OS 2.8 as it internally zooms & Focuses and does not disturbed once focus and adding filters, they are my main landscape lenses. I need to get a 10-24 but will go with sigma as used the nikon as well and no noticeable difference in performance or sharpness just the price.I got the nifty fifty too. Use a D850 full frame body
Man!! I'm addicted to your videos!! Love them! Thank you! You have really helped me with my photography!
Thanks Anthony!!!
Getting into vertical (as well as the usual horizontal) photos to stitch together for panos will extend almost any lens in surprising ways (well, surprising to me!) I love using Merge for Panos in LightRoom. It works SO well. I use it for Long Exposures too. Easy Peasy.
👍
As a Fuji shooter I use the 18-55 f2.8-4 kit lens and the 55-200 zoom primarily. For astro I use my Rokinon 12mm f2.0. I also have the 35mm f1.4 that I will try out on panoramas per your suggestion. Thanks!
👍
I totally agree with you ! 20mm f1,8 50mm f1,8 and 70-200 f4 are the new Holy Trinity for landscapes, for the best quality/weight and quality/price ratios ! Often for speedy landscape sessions I take with me just the Sigma 24-105mm f4 that has 82mm filter thred and is tack sharp.
I didn’t try that Sigma yet...
My favorite go to lens is an older Canon EF-17-35 2.8L. It still upholds the reputation of an L. I love having a constant aperture on a zoom.
Very useful info. Not to mention your superb photos! Thank you!
My 2 go-to lenses for LS photography [Nikon] are my 24mm f3.5 PC-e and my Zeiss 20mm. Yes I have the ubiquitous 24-70 f2.8 and my 70-200 f2.8, but if weight is a consideration, it's just the 2 with Lee filters, a cable release and a carbon tripod. Light enough to carry all day, and versatile enough for all pics if you plan the day. PS, excellent video.
For E-mount, I use a Tamron 28-200 f/2.8-5.6 and I often carry my Tamron 35mm f/2.8 or Sony 50mm f/1.8. I have the 85mm f/1.8 but usually reserve it for portrait work. I am considering purchasing a lens in the 18-20mm range to compliment the excellent 28-200. On A mount (Minolta/Sony DSLR) I have an ancient Sigma 17-35mm f/2.8-4, Sony 50mm f/1.4, Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Macro and Minolta 100-400mm f/SLOW. The Sigma is a bit long in the tooth and flares like no other but used carefully it can make beautiful and very sharp photos. The other 3 lenses I carry are as good as they get. I have 11 or 12 A mount lenses but these are the ones I carry and use most for landscape.
I love your lens selection. It is lightweight and budget friendly, while the image quality for landscape is amazing. For people on tight budget, I would also recommend Tamron 70-210mm f/4 Di VC USD which runs for 600 bucks!
👍
As I mentioned before, I just moved up to a D750 FF from the D5300. My only lens at the present is the 24-120 1.4 kit lens. On a recent trip to Gorgeous Sedona, Az. I rented the 14-24 f2.8, and the 70-200 f2.8. Both were very good great sharp lenses. I was leaning words the 14-24, until I watched your video of course..:) all good. I will rent the 20 and try it out for a weekend, I do landscape and portrait, some real estate pics for a friend. The 50 is a must for me as well. But I do like taking pics with the wide angles for sure. I have a 35 1.8 but it’s for the crop camera. So should I buy the 20 or the 50 first? I’m still learning long exposure,experiments only not good. I think it’s the lens..24-120. Thank you Attilio you are my fav to watch and learn with...oh sorry about that lens that took a dunk at the Vinyard...I live not far from there in Plymouth Ma...home of the Rock..lol.
Excellent video. Thank you for reminding us that professional photographers can take outstanding photos with limited budget and weight
Thanks 🙏
Very cool that I found this video because I'm just now wanting to get into landscape photography. I've always had a cropped sensor (Nikon D500 & Nikkor 200-500mm) and a long lens for nature and birding but recently picked up a Nikon D700 used but in very good condition and was looking at the Tamron 15-30mm and the very lens you first mention, the Nikkor 20mm f/1.8G ED. The Nikkor 20mm is going to be my next acquisition! You have a new subscriber on your channel. Incidentally, I already have a Tamron SP-70-200 f/2.8 DI VC USD G2 and love it.
Hi Sir,
I will be using camcorders for video and mirrorless for photography.
Can you tell me the best cheapest setup for best quality landscape photography..Also do you have a course for beginners ?
Hello Attilio,
my favorite Lens for Landscape Photography is the Sony/Zeiss 16-70 f/4.0. Many details and very sharp on the A7RIII. My second favorite lens is the Sigma 14mm f/1.8
👍
Thank you very much for your tutorial. Beautiful photos.
Thanks!
Superb presentation and photography. Thank you.👍👍👍
Attilio , Absolutely great and informative video, plus your pictures are incredible and Breathtaking.
Thank you 🙏
As always, relaxing, informative and inspiring. Never thought of using a 50mm prime for panoramas👍
If you had to choose between the nikon 14 30 z f4 and the nikon 20 mm z 1.8, for landscapes and seascapes, which one would it be?
Excellent video! I have a 70 -300 and a 50 lens and have been looking for the best wide angle. I think you have what I need so that will be my next. I want to do more panoramas so I will try using the 50mm. Your landscapes are awesome!
Thanks a lot Ed!
Great, I'm looking to buy a 70 200mm. So pleased to see .
👍
Just a fantastic teacher u are. I'm a great fan of yours. Got good result in first attempted after watching a long exposure (beach) tutorial. Thank u.
Thank you! Happy to hear about the good results... 👍
Huge respect form India sir.
Thanks mate
After my switch from Canon to Nikon my favourite lenses are: 20mm f/1.8, 35mm f/1.8, 50mm f/1.8 & the Tamron 70-210mm f/4
My favorite wide angle lense has been the Tamron 17 mm f3.5 manual focus lense used primarily with my Nikon N90s. I now use mostly the Tamron 10-24mm f3.5-4.5 DX zoom lense with a Nikon D500 and with a Nikon D850. The Tamron 10-24mm covers the entire FX frame of the D850 starting at 15mm and f3.5 to 24 mm. For $500 US this is a sharp rectilinear lense.
I love my 55m-200mm zoom, along with a 50mm prime.
I had three nikon aps-c cameras over 5 years and the 55-200 was my favourite Nikkor on those bodies. I hear you!
Hi, In your opinion and experience as a photographer, do you believe that the fix lens have more optical quality than the zoon lens?
I want to start with a new filter system can you tell me what you're currently using and what package of filters I should start with to really get going. Thank you for all the entertainment and hard work. I love watching your videos.
Hello attilio just subscribed! Love your videos so far watching more and learning! Just got a d810 a 50mm 1.8g also the 24-70 2.8 ed Nikon lens! Will these be ideal for astrophotography?
Thanks and Welcome to my channel! For astrophotography you might need a little wider lens... at least a 20mm, but start with the 24 and see if you like it...
@@AttilioRuffo thank you! Will give that a go then I had a d7100 way back but jumped into the full frame DSLR now! Love your long exposure photography hopefully one day I can manage something like that! Keep up the cool videos 😊
Thanks! I am sure you will
Sir, I like to purchase shutter reales for Sony a 7 iii. Kindly guide me to buy. Which shutter reales is better to buy?
You're right with all arguments. Thanks a lot.
fantastico ho appena scoperto di avere piu o meno le lenti giuste! tokina 11-16, nikkor 18-55 , sigma 70-300 ... per ora mi accontento e cercherò di migliorare anche guardando i Tuoi favolosi video!
a presto, allora! :-)
Hey, loved the video.
Actually I'm a sony user. I was wondering whether Samayang 14mm or Irix 15mm would be better for landscapes as I'm in a very tight budget....
Hi Attilio, I have recently subscribed to your channel and its great. I too have a D810 and have only just recently got more into photography and invested in the Lee100 system. I was going to look at a sigma ultra wide as my next purchase but since it means another filter system that put me off then I saw your channel ... you have convinced me to buy the 20mm 1.8 instead. I too have a 50mm 1.4 and a 70-200mm ... so please keep up your videos so I can learn and be more inspired. Thank you.
It's very useful information ,😊.Can you tell me whether the Nikkor 20mm F2.8D is good for Landscape photography?
Hi Attillio, sorry for being late in commenting but have just found your site. I use a Canon 5d4 which I love using, my favorite landscape lenses are: Canon 16-35 f4, Tamron 45 F1.8 G2 and a Canon 70-200 F2.8
👍
My favourite for m4/3 system is the Panasonic-Leica 15mm f/1.7 - set at f/8 it is razor sharp centre to corner (and I use a B+W 10 Stop ND Filter)...
I am a little bit late with my comments. I just found your channel a few weeks ago. I am using, Sony's A6000 with two kit lens and Sony A7M2 cameras. Currently using the Tamron 28-75mm 2.8 newer lens so, I am using it more often. Second lens I use is the Sony 70-300mm G 4.5-5.6. Not a G Master Lens! Don't have the money to spend on that one. Third lens is a Rokinon 14mm 2.8 not the best lens and no filter threads! Using the 14mm for night star and occasionally for a wide angle daytime photography. I have the Nifty Fifty 1.8 Sony lens. Got it on sale. It was half price. I don't use it that much! Now I am thinking to use it more after watching this video of yours! I have extension tube set for the Sony cameras also Amazon cheap. I would be interested in learning how to use Lightroom to make a panoramic pictures with the 50mm!
I also sent your RUclips links to my daughter. She has a Canon entry level camera. She shoots macro photography. I gave her my Sony A7R more manual camera and my kit lens. I am trying to get my daughter into shooting raw pictures with it.
Got long-winded! But I really enjoy your Videos!
thanks!
I only take photos with three lenses 20mm 1.8G, 50mm 1.8G, 85mm 1.8G I am very satisfied. Most of all on my camera is 20mm :)
Your photography is genius piece of work, love it.
Sushanta Dey 🙏
I have the holy trinity but use the 24-70 most of the time and also the 16-35mm. You are correct about the weight problem! I also have ,and sometimes use, have a Sony A6500 which is so nice to carry as it is very light , very sharp with vibration suppression and I have wide angle lenses for it although it is an APSC camera.
The weight sometimes is a pain! :-)
Sinceramente uno dei più bravi fotografi che io abbia mai visto BRAVISSIMO
Grazie mille! 😍
thanks for this video, I love the idea of the 50mm prime!
Cheap and chic! :-)
I don't know if anyone said that, but you look like Dustin Hoffman
Someone did.... but I am 6’2”!!!:-)
Voices are similar too, slightly different accent though
No, he looks like son of Ric Flair.
Thank you Attilio, you are right and you avoid me to do a big and expensive mistake with a 15-30 mm + Nisi.
