      2:52 Most lenses are sharpest between f11 and f8 and in some rare cases f5.6. When she's babbling about f2.8 and f2 to achieve sharpness she unveils how completely clueless she is.

      @@RUclips_Stole_My_Handle_Too No, not really and you did not watched video carefully or just focused on first half of the sentence. Julia is talking about using f/2.0 or f/2.8 over wider apertures (like f/1.8 or f/1.4) because lenses are sharper and have wider focus range WHILE it still offers nice out of focus background, not making everything in focus and, in result, "flat" photo.

      Your explanation isn't the least satisfying. Things usually begin to happen from f8 through f11. If sharpness is needed background blur can only be achieved in post. And no, I don't watch the whole video after a fatality early on. There's a limit to my patience with clueless and stupid.

    There are 2 more reasons why photos becomes blurry: 1. using optical stabilization, 2. not using optical stabilization :-)
    1. When camera is mounted on tripod - always turn off optical stabilization. Otherwise built-in stabilization into camera (eg used by me Sony A7RIV) will slightly shift the sensor. If long exposure is used together with long focal length - taken picture will become completely blurred. This is why old Sony A99 has built in tripod detection and automatically can turn off stabilization. The most modern A7RIV can't do it. Amazing! Isn't it?
    2. When camera is hand held always use optical stabilization. Long exposure times and long focal lengths are your enemy. Good quality optical stabilization results sharp pictures even if exposure time is 4-stops longer.

  • @Reviews4fun1
    @Reviews4fun1 Год назад +2

    I use crop bodies and full frame. Due to sensor limitations in lower light, the apsc sensor tries to bump iso leading to noise, or lengthen shutter speed leading to subject motion blur, even with “wide aperture“ APSC f1.4 lenses. I find I either have to increase ambient light, add a flash, or stick to full frame wider aperture lenses in more challenging light. Harder to push limits with crop system.
