I have all four sensor sizes - a GFX 50s ii, Nikon D850, Fuji XT5 and sony RX100 V. I shoot landscapes Andy a few are landscape. Photographer medium format is a game changer because of the size of the sense you get incredible, dynamic range and the image quality cannot be understated. Yes it's better than full frame for landscape photography, but it has some drawbacks and that is depth of field, and also the challenge of that. But where the medium format shines is dynamic range - is just unbelievable you can underexpose an image and still retain detail in the shadows. You can shoot portraits with it, but I wouldn't
Strange, I wonder if you feel you're losing DOF because your 50mm is acting as a 28mm. If you're shooting medium format your best bet is a 150 and or 180 2.8. Those are closer to your typical 85mm and higher. And a 2.8 on a medium format feels more like a .1 / 1.2. The dof in my experience gives you way more bokeh. Most tend to buy the body and go for the cheaper lenses such at kit lens. They assumed 50mm is 50mm. You'd have to get pretty close to your subject to see any real dof vs where you'd stand with a full frame. But typically medium format is bokeh king, google explains why for further information. With that said the opposite is true with apc sensors. Which is why companies are making 1.0, 1.2 and 1.4 lenses for crop. Now you have 75 1.2 lenses (for cheap) (thanks viltrox) which is giving you a longer reach with identical dof as a full frame lens costing 2 to 4x as much. In conclusion, if portraits are your main source of work... medium format would technically and mathematically be your best choice. You just can't be cheap on lenses if you want the best results.
@@SPECTRA890 i think it would be the full frame for multiple reasons a) it has a higher burst. i mostly do sport photography so i really need that burst rate to get all of those amazing shots. b) the af is not that good which for sports or wild life which is another genre i love shooting is just really not that great. c)it weighs alot more then my full frame and is way to big for my camera bag. d) the battery just sucks which leads me to carry more batterys which also weighs a lot. But yea its still an amazing camera to have for landscape and Portrait photography and you could also shoot street photography on it if you really want. So yea i would keep the full frame
Well I learned something - I thought a medium format was in between a full frame and a crop sensor. Makes sense (not) if a full frame is no crop and a crop sensor is 50-60% crop, then medium must be in between, or a 20-25% crop. Someone out there must have thought the same. Thanks Tony.
Comes from back in the film days, when photography started with plate cameras, which were "large format", 35mm became "standard" because of all the egos that would be bruised by calling it small, and there were a couple of smaller ones again, and medium format was between plate cameras and 35mm. Much of what people talk about as the difference is really only obvious in high quality film medium format. Digital still hasn't caught up to the resolution and dynamic range of medium format on fine grained positive film, but it's slowly getting closer.
I was a Canon user for 15 years (no complaints! )... and now using the Fuji GFX system and it is a game changer for my line of work. I can produce much higher quality images for a reduced editing time. I take gigapixel images... so that translates to less images per shot, less than half! On my Canon 5dsr, I would average 50 to 100 photos per image... and now it is 20 to 30.
Usually I use my 1DX3 as my go to. I've had my eye on the GFX 100s/ii as a landscape and portraiture camera. I have MF films cameras that I adore, my Fuji GX680iii is just glorious in its size and capabilities. A really nice thing about the GFX 100ii is that it's significantly lighter than my 1DX3, that would be nice.
I shoot both crop and full frame digital, and 35mm and medium format film. My Mamiya RB67 has a 6cm x 7cm negative. I love it. I think what I like most about it is that it doesn’t even take batteries. No electronics. I am the only processor this camera has. I also have a 4”x5” large format, but it needs some TLC before I can put film in it.
I bought Canon 250d after 8 years of photography with my phone.. so it was a huge change for me.. and i got some budget lenses which are 18-55mm.. 50mm 1.8... and a 55-250mm and it works great for me.
I have a variety I shoot with. I shoot both 35mm and medium format (645.) I develop my own film. Digital I have APSC, M4/3, 4/3, Full frame. What I like about medium format is the smooth focal falloff and depth of field. On film the shots definitely have a "look." Good video, but you really lean on your presets to fix the images - I will chalk it up to a system you aren't familiar with.
3:48 that's not correct. Diffraction is wavelength and pixel size dependent, meaning that you will start to see diffraction at a given wavelength at the same aperture on a 102Mpx Super Full Frame medium format camera as well as a 61Mpx FF sensor and a 26Mpx APS-C sensor. For 3.76μm pixels, which should be the pixel size of this sensor, you hit the diffraction limit at 700nm at f5.5, meanwhile if you consider 550nm you would be experiencing it beyond f7. Depending on the things you're shooting it will be looking more acceptable or worse when into diffraction, your milage may vary
for tripod photography I use a 17mm tilt shift with a special ring to avoid parallax by moving the lens in 6 positions in order to reproduce a bigger format. this is my best gear, suitable for static photography only. of course.
I have the GFX 100s which is roughly the same as the 100 ii. Your video, is actually, accurate and adds a little fun. I like more the "depth of fieldy" term... Actually, at the same aperture, the medium format cameras give less depth of field. So, I find that for landscapes I shoot almost everything at f16 on the GFX. On my Canon, I would have shot at f8 or maybe f11.
the greatest sportsphotos were shot with less than 5fps, so 8fps with that imagequality is a gift. as always in sportsphotography: knowing the sport is worth more than spray&pray with 20fps.
I have Canon R3 and R5 for most of my client work, they are workhorses and do the job. For my own leisure photography (landscape and street) I use my GFX100s .... this camera just makes me smile.
I am currently using the canon sx70hs and its great. But the problem with it is that all the focus when they made the camera was about the insane zoom it has, but it's lacking some resolution. So now I'm buying the Canon 250d for more sharp photos and I'm keeping the sx70hs for really far away photos.
I think people underestimate how much more natural the 4:3 aspect ration is for photos. FF is very cinematic with its 3:2 but framing feels way better with 4:3. ESPECIALLY when you shoot in portrait orientation. Turning a FF sideways shows how narrow the ratio is compared to 4:3
I’m currently shooting on a Nikon D5600 which is a 23.5mm x 15.6mm cropped sensor (APS-C type). My backup/second camera is a Cannon EOS Rebel which is also a slightly different type of cropped sensor.
Well my favourite camera (and only interchangeable one) it the Lumix g7. I know its old but Im new to this hobby and it was a cheap alternative especially considering i don't have much money to spend on Photography and the lenses are cheaper than on other cameras. And i also really started to love the light and small body of it.
I own x100v. This is the largest sensor I’ve ever shot except 35mm film. but I adore the look of Medium. You are looking to pick and you are sure it is medium. Wish I had one
Great video. I am a concert, event, wedding and landscape photographer and use Canon R5 and R6. Was thinking about buying this camera. But learned now that I can buy that kind of camera when I retire from concert , event and wedding photography. Then I will probably only shoot landscape and portrait to help friends. Then it’s time for that kind of camera. Super informative and interesting video. Thanks for making it 🙏
A7IV as my main and A7III as my backup. Love the flexibility with glass I have through Sony. I also have the iPhone 15 Pro Max as my carry around but that’s not really all that worth mentioning….especially following my actual cameras and their thousands of dollars worth of glass.
Few months ago I wanted to buy a medium format camera. I contacted Fujifilm and Hasselblad. one replied to me, but not really helpful reply, Fuji just ignored me. So I decided to buy the Nikon Z8. I know it is not the same, but I prefer the color of the Z8 than the R5
It depends what you are doing..for most people full frame is way more than adequate. But.. if you are in the realms of professional work ,or you want to produce billboard sized images then medium format is the way. Also with medium format you can crop an massive image post production.
I shoot crop sensor if I'm shooting digital with a Fuji X-E4, and all sorts of formats when shooting film. I have a half-frame Olympus PEN FT, a 35mm Nikon F3, and a 6x7 Pentax 67 for shooting 120 medium format. All formats are fun!
Anthony from where I stand this in my view was your most informative (might even say best) video you have done on anything I have watched. Super informative, explained things very clearly, very well, in very good detail. I can actually say after watching your video I do feel I understand, "The Hype," about medium format. I have have the A1 & A7Siii (I think it is 12 MP not 14 😀). Good for you for having the chance to try a medium format. PS: not 100% sure you can or would truly want to say anything you want about the camera since for example if you did not like the camera at all and thrashed I am not so sure Fuji would ask you to review another product, but would they!? I love Fuji Camera, there colour science for me is what I like most and yeah because of you it makes me want to buy one of those one day. Thanks man!!
I hear what you're saying. More than likely if a camera is THAT bad , I'd probably not even review it in the first place. I feel like every camera, even if it's crappy in one or two areas, still has something positive to say about it. 😊
I’ve been around quite a while :-) Have shot - Analogue: Fuji GX617, GX680, Pentax 67Ii, Toyo 4x5. Digital MF - Contax 645 with Kodak DCS pro back, Several generations of Phase One through to IQ3100. Currently shooting the Hassy X2D 100C.
… I shoot 35 mm film with my Praktica DTL 3 … I like this camera very well, my medium film I shot with my Pentacon Six, great camera … my brother has an Zenza Bronica S2A … very cool camera … go on shooting film 😎📸
I use a Fujifilm xt-5 and a canon R6. while I was at school I had access to a PhaseOne camera and that thing was amazing! I want to get a medium format camera for portraits
9:23 Seriously invest in a light meter (Sekonic L-858D ). Sync the light meter to camera’s sensor physically see camera’s dynamic range in a scene by using use the zone system to get it right in camera perfect every time 👍
I shoot a Micro Four Thirds camera(Olympus E-M1X) and a full frame camera (Nikon Z5). Eventually I want an APSC, a 1 inch sensor, and a medium format camera.
I have all 4 types of camera. I have Fujifilm GFX100, Fujifilm XT20, Samsung Galaxy and Sony A7R4. GFX is slow but the PQ is outstanding even compare to high resolution full frame like A7R4. XT20 is the street camera I use, I only shoot jpeg with XT20.
i use both the Fuji GFX 100s and the Nikon Z8. The Fuji is my go to system for landscapes mostly because of the ratio and sensor; it takes me back to by days where I used 4x5. The reason I watched this video is that I'm considering replacing the 100s with the 100 II.
Oh, that's interesting. I have Z8 and consider switching to gfx, but I'm a hobbyist and do not shoot nor sport neither weddings or so. Portraits, landscapes, street, lifestyle. Could you explain for what purposes you choose Z8 and why not gfx?
How is the shutter lag? I used a Phase One camera with 50mp back in the studio photographing a ballet dancer. Beautiful image quality but the shutter lag for jumping/motion drove me crazy.
Got too many for fun. Use to shoot APS-C and m4/3 but sold them not long ago (miss my Fuji x100f). Shooting Film on 35mm, medium format (6x9) and large format (4in X 5in), and digital (Full frame Panasonic S1 and medium format - GFX 50sII).
I shoot with Canon EOS R, and I still have a Canon 5DS which I use from time to time. Not going to change as have so many canon fit lenses. Thinking of upgrading the R, although the image quality is great, either an R6 mk II or R5, or alternatively supplementing it with an R7. I also have a Panasonic GX9 which is great for when I'm travelling for work.
I use a Canon EOS 6D Mark II with a Canon EF 24-105 f/4 L IS II USM lens. I like the extra reach over a 24/70, and given that I don't really do much macro or portrait photography, the f/4 aperture doesn't bother me. I mainly shoot between f/5.6 and f/8 anyway, as according to Google the sharpness starts taking a hit at f numbers higher than f/8. Also, I mainly do landscapes and street photography because of where I live, so higher f numbers are often needed.
I think that you wouldn't really need a gfx 100 II as the only difference is the video function. it can shoot 8k, but it is 1.5x cropped. why not just buy a 100s? the Leica s2 is also a great option, and it also has a ccd sensor, even though people only buy the M series
Can you recommend what kind of lens I should get, I have a rebel t6. I am only 17 year old and I am on a tight budget but I want to expanded my photography. I have the kit lenses.
I have a Canon 450D, and I want to upgrade to an R7, but I don't think buying a camera is worth that money, even if this is maybe my principal "non-existing hobby 'cause of the money" with FPV and MTB.
The Fujifilm GFX series of cameras are all not Medium Format. It’s a format between Medium Format(eg. 60x70mm) and Full frame (24x36mm). Fujifilm doesn’t even call it Medium format, they call it Large format (43.8x32.9mm)
The 32-64 is not really a ‘kit’ lens it’s a full/higher price constant aperture lens, full weight as well ! and doesn’t come as a bundle with the camera body, the 35-70 f4.5-5.6 is really the kit lens, it is very good, especially f8-11.
About the depth of field being different for different sensor sizes, this seems to be a myth originating from people, and commentators, not adjusting the aperture number for the sensor's crop factor (just as they would for a lens' focal length to get approximately the same field of view) You adjust the aperture number because the calculation that defines the aperature number involves the lens focal length (focal length/aperature diameter, aperature diameter is also referred to as the entrance pupil) If one adjusts the f stop by the crop factor, then the depth of fields, does not change for the different sensor sizes.
8 fps is a lot faster than I was expecting from medium format. My old D810 is 5fps at full resolution and D850 9fps. But the big question will be if the auto focus will be good enough to have a high ratio of in focus photos at 8fps.
Fujifilm has really done a great job making the GFX line more usable for more types of photography! Unfortunately I didn't have time to test it with fast moving subjects. My initial reaction to the AF system was that Sony and Canon are still top of the game by comparison.
Fuji GFX and Hassy XCD are really not medium format... i like to call them "slightly larger than 35mm" medium format classically is 645, 6x7, 6x8 and 6x9 the GFX sensor is still significantly smaller than 645
I'm going there (Iceland) late January 2024. I hope I can shoot photos as good as yours. By the way... you shot this video moths ago... no?? It's weird so little snow/ice in Iceland in December.
I have the aps-c canon eos 40d for wildlife but I want to upgrade to the fullframe eos r8. I am a bit scared of the rolling shutter so I don't know yet
Hello! I Found you on Shorts earlier this year, and have been diving more into your content. My primary shooter has been the Canon EOS M50 MKii, with a Tamron 18-400mm ƒ/3.5-6.3 lens (I know I should really have a ƒ/2.8 as my primary lens). I'm getting serious enough in my craft to begin looking at full-frame cameras (that global shutter on the Sony α9, among other features, is tempting), but I'm still doing my homework as to what I should invest in. The new generation of Canon lenses has really caught my attention, so I'm leaning into that ecosystem, but I'm always open to suggestions. Great work! I love the content!
canon full frame dslr's are cheap though, that's where i went. i shoot on a canon 6D (the original one) and it's great. my lenses at the moment are the 50 mm f1.8 and the 28 mm f2.8. i plan to eventually get a 28-70 f2.8/L usm and a 70-200 f2.8/L is usm. but keep the two prime lenses.
@@RowYaKnow i shoot lots of stuff! buses, trains, landscapes, portraits of my friends, portraits of me, and also shots among the crowd in protests i attend from time to time. but most of that i typically do with my phone because that's constantly in my pocket, though i have my camera around my neck a lot too, but sometimes my neck hurts after awhile, so it goes in my backpack. my lenses are pretty sufficient for what i do, but a telephoto and a standard zoom will be nice just so i have some flexibility. i want f2.8 lenses because i do a fair bit of some of this stuff at night.
What camera do you shoot with? Cropped, Full-frame, Smartphone? Comment below, and check out what the most popular type of camera is! 📷😊
I use a cropped, Sony a6000! Absolutely love it, great beginner camera.
Just got a Canon EOS R, super excited.
r7 love it just got it for my self and love it
I use my Fuji XT5, my favorite camera for portraits so far

There used to be an APS-H format from Canon, very briefly, that was between the two, a crop factor of 1.3!
I took me also quite some time to wrap my head around this fact. 😅
@@daemon1143 the image quality from a modern GFX is superior to medium format film. You need large format (4x5) to rival the GFX
My old full frame 5D II is my favorite camera, old but the quality of the photos is just gorgeous, very unique colors and 3D pop.

D3500 user! Love it for aviation photography.
when are you getting d500 bud

Been shooting on a Praktica MTL 3 mostly, just picked up a Zenza Bronica SQ-A. looking forward to seeing the frames
… I shoot 35 mm film with my Praktica DTL 3 … I like this camera very well, my medium film I shot with my Pentacon Six, great camera … my brother has an Zenza Bronica S2A … very cool camera … go on shooting film 😎📸
I use a Fujifilm xt-5 and a canon R6. while I was at school I had access to a PhaseOne camera and that thing was amazing! I want to get a medium format camera for portraits
It's been such a fun experience! Grab one if you get the chance too!
That camera looks like an absolute beast, I've only shot medium format on film using a cheap camera that looks like a toy called a Holga 120N
9:23 Seriously invest in a light meter (Sekonic L-858D ). Sync the light meter to camera’s sensor physically see camera’s dynamic range in a scene by using use the zone system to get it right in camera perfect every time 👍
I shoot a Micro Four Thirds camera(Olympus E-M1X) and a full frame camera (Nikon Z5). Eventually I want an APSC, a 1 inch sensor, and a medium format camera.
I'd like this camera... its a upgrade to my current gear in every way.
I have all 4 types of camera. I have Fujifilm GFX100, Fujifilm XT20, Samsung Galaxy and Sony A7R4. GFX is slow but the PQ is outstanding even compare to high resolution full frame like A7R4. XT20 is the street camera I use, I only shoot jpeg with XT20.
I shoot both film and digital medium format. For digital I use the GFX 50S ii and for film the Mamiya 645 AFD.
i use both the Fuji GFX 100s and the Nikon Z8. The Fuji is my go to system for landscapes mostly because of the ratio and sensor; it takes me back to by days where I used 4x5. The reason I watched this video is that I'm considering replacing the 100s with the 100 II.
Oh, that's interesting. I have Z8 and consider switching to gfx, but I'm a hobbyist and do not shoot nor sport neither weddings or so. Portraits, landscapes, street, lifestyle. Could you explain for what purposes you choose Z8 and why not gfx?
Still using the 80D with a 17-55 f2.8 for shooting portraits 👌🏻
X1D, X2D, A7riv, H5D60CCD and a Mavic 2 Pro......... The Hasselblad files are awesome to work with!
All the *top secret* presets! I’m excited for your next preset pack to release!
:)
Hi there, thanks for all the helpful videos I really enjoy the.
Can you do more videos with fuji cameras?
How is the shutter lag? I used a Phase One camera with 50mp back in the studio photographing a ballet dancer. Beautiful image quality but the shutter lag for jumping/motion drove me crazy.
Got too many for fun. Use to shoot APS-C and m4/3 but sold them not long ago (miss my Fuji x100f). Shooting Film on 35mm, medium format (6x9) and large format (4in X 5in), and digital (Full frame Panasonic S1 and medium format - GFX 50sII).
I use full frame. canon r6
I shoot with Canon EOS R, and I still have a Canon 5DS which I use from time to time. Not going to change as have so many canon fit lenses. Thinking of upgrading the R, although the image quality is great, either an R6 mk II or R5, or alternatively supplementing it with an R7. I also have a Panasonic GX9 which is great for when I'm travelling for work.
God, you showing that camera sitting on a tripod as the water came up next to it. I could not
Gfx seem fun & powerful.
Prefer the Hasselblad for detail & colour..in comparisons, the Hasselblad is 👑
I have the Canon R8 accompanied by the 24-70. Amazing combo!
same!
would you not exposure stack when shooting a landscape on a tripod? - Then you get details on highlights and shadows without noise or clipping.
I use a Canon EOS 6D Mark II with a Canon EF 24-105 f/4 L IS II USM lens.
I like the extra reach over a 24/70, and given that I don't really do much macro or portrait photography, the f/4 aperture doesn't bother me. I mainly shoot between f/5.6 and f/8 anyway, as according to Google the sharpness starts taking a hit at f numbers higher than f/8. Also, I mainly do landscapes and street photography because of where I live, so higher f numbers are often needed.
I think that you wouldn't really need a gfx 100 II as the only difference is the video function. it can shoot 8k, but it is 1.5x cropped. why not just buy a 100s? the Leica s2 is also a great option, and it also has a ccd sensor, even though people only buy the M series
I used R6 with 24-70 f2.8 & M50 with 18-35 f1.8 for my wedding shoot 😊
r5, a 6d and an EOS m. Love using the 6d a ton
I’m a proud owner of lumix s1, and i use24-105 f4
Big micro four thirds first camera gh2 now got the g9 and love it
where were you shooting? It looks great!
Canon 850D [first camera] with mostly 55-250 mm canon and 150-600 mm Tamron G2
I have two cameras. APS-C EOS 2000D and M4/3 LUMIX GX80. Been meaning to get an FF camera for a hot minute now
I really like your videos because you have a R5 and I got the R7 so there’s a lot of similitude between those 2
Canon R10 - My first proper camera! Looking forward to going full frame down the road.
Can you recommend what kind of lens I should get, I have a rebel t6. I am only 17 year old and I am on a tight budget but I want to expanded my photography. I have the kit lenses.
If you have Exeland lenses doesn't matter medium format full frame & apsc extra extra .
X2D 100c I love it
Nikon d7000+70-300 AF-S DX lens. Planning to get 18-55 with VR to shoot video, since it's still decent for that chassis
Canon m50 mark ii with Ttartisans 35mm f0.95.. please make a video on it ❤
I tried the gfx 50s ii and didn’t notice any valuable improvement from the x100v. The Nikon Z5 is noticeably better, and way cheaper
I'm using a canon 850D with a 17-55 f/2.8 and a 70-200 f/4 L IS lens (incredible lens)
Where can we find/buy the presets for lightroom?
I have a Canon 450D, and I want to upgrade to an R7, but I don't think buying a camera is worth that money, even if this is maybe my principal "non-existing hobby 'cause of the money" with FPV and MTB.
Can you please make a detailed review video and specs of the canon eos r50 please..it would be really helpful for some of your viewers😊🙏🏻
I have canon 70D.
I am beginner. I buy a 2nd hand camera canon 70D. I want to change my camera but i am confused. Should i buy Canon R100 or M50?
The Fujifilm GFX series of cameras are all not Medium Format. It’s a format between Medium Format(eg. 60x70mm) and Full frame (24x36mm). Fujifilm doesn’t even call it Medium format, they call it Large format (43.8x32.9mm)
Great Video!
The 32-64 is not really a ‘kit’ lens it’s a full/higher price constant aperture lens, full weight as well ! and doesn’t come as a bundle with the camera body, the 35-70 f4.5-5.6 is really the kit lens, it is very good, especially f8-11.
I have the Canon R5 and love it!
R5 gang!!!
Love you content 🤩📸
I have sony a7r3 with sony 55mm f1.8 and Tamron 28-200mm f2.8-5.6
im new to making videos and for me the cannon 90D was the best option to use but can you make a video for you reviewing the cannon 90D
About the depth of field being different for different sensor sizes, this seems to be a myth originating from people, and commentators, not adjusting the aperture number for the sensor's crop factor (just as they would for a lens' focal length to get approximately the same field of view) You adjust the aperture number because the calculation that defines the aperature number involves the lens focal length (focal length/aperature diameter, aperature diameter is also referred to as the entrance pupil)
If one adjusts the f stop by the crop factor, then the depth of fields, does not change for the different sensor sizes.
sony a6400 so that would be an aps-c (corp sensor) It's great for zooming
8 fps is a lot faster than I was expecting from medium format. My old D810 is 5fps at full resolution and D850 9fps. But the big question will be if the auto focus will be good enough to have a high ratio of in focus photos at 8fps.
Fujifilm has really done a great job making the GFX line more usable for more types of photography! Unfortunately I didn't have time to test it with fast moving subjects. My initial reaction to the AF system was that Sony and Canon are still top of the game by comparison.
Fuji GFX and Hassy XCD are really not medium format... i like to call them "slightly larger than 35mm" medium format classically is 645, 6x7, 6x8 and 6x9 the GFX sensor is still significantly smaller than 645
I'm going there (Iceland) late January 2024. I hope I can shoot photos as good as yours. By the way... you shot this video moths ago... no?? It's weird so little snow/ice in Iceland in December.
Canon R6M2, used to have 5DM2, PowerShot SX110IS many many years ago
I have a Canon 1200D and I started photography in February 2023🎉
I have the aps-c canon eos 40d for wildlife but I want to upgrade to the fullframe eos r8. I am a bit scared of the rolling shutter so I don't know yet
Of course it’s fujifilm🥰
Hello! I Found you on Shorts earlier this year, and have been diving more into your content. My primary shooter has been the Canon EOS M50 MKii, with a Tamron 18-400mm ƒ/3.5-6.3 lens (I know I should really have a ƒ/2.8 as my primary lens). I'm getting serious enough in my craft to begin looking at full-frame cameras (that global shutter on the Sony α9, among other features, is tempting), but I'm still doing my homework as to what I should invest in. The new generation of Canon lenses has really caught my attention, so I'm leaning into that ecosystem, but I'm always open to suggestions.
Great work! I love the content!
canon full frame dslr's are cheap though, that's where i went. i shoot on a canon 6D (the original one) and it's great. my lenses at the moment are the 50 mm f1.8 and the 28 mm f2.8. i plan to eventually get a 28-70 f2.8/L usm and a 70-200 f2.8/L is usm. but keep the two prime lenses.
What kind of photography do you generally shoot? And do you find those lenses to be sufficient for most of what you capture?
@@RowYaKnow i shoot lots of stuff! buses, trains, landscapes, portraits of my friends, portraits of me, and also shots among the crowd in protests i attend from time to time. but most of that i typically do with my phone because that's constantly in my pocket, though i have my camera around my neck a lot too, but sometimes my neck hurts after awhile, so it goes in my backpack. my lenses are pretty sufficient for what i do, but a telephoto and a standard zoom will be nice just so i have some flexibility. i want f2.8 lenses because i do a fair bit of some of this stuff at night.
0:06 Hi Anthony what's your friend holding there? I'm interested in compact cameras
