Michael I truly appreciate all of your tutorials, hints, and Facebook groups. Every time I revisit one of your 90D videos, I learn something new. The more I shoot with my 90D, the better I get even with bad photos. I am learning from my successes and even more from my failures. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Dear Michael, just back from 3 days in the Pilanesburg National Park in South Africa. We visit around twice a year and I previously used my 70D. I Purchased the 90D in advance of this trip and spent some quality time on both your 90D Introduction and Wildlife Tutorials. Time well spent. I made all the menu adjustments you suggested. Thanks for all the great tips! :) Short version is results on the 90D are absolutely fantastic when used with the Canon 100-400 4.5-5.6 L Mk 2 lens. Images are sharp as a pin; colour and contrast are exceptional. When shooting birds at quite some distance, fully zoomed, I am able to crop the images substantially and still have a most acceptable result. The 70D was pretty good with this setup but the 90D is excellent. Great lens/body combination! When in the bush, I now leave my 18-135 kit lens on the 70D so the two rigs give me total coverage. Cheers, Keith.
Just for people who like to know.... I personally am very satisfied with my canon 70-300L, tamron 15-30 G2, tamron 10-24 hdl, and especially very sharp the tamron 70-200 G2..... I own the canon 100-400 II with extender and they are great...... just as great is my tamron 100-400....but I read mixed reviews.... thanks for all the afford you put into it!
I bought the EFS 10-22 back in 2011with my 550D and it has been one of my favourites. The only problem is the chromatic aberration but 90D can fix this. I upgraded to 90D and it is amazing!
I have a 28-135mm USM 3.5-5.6. I’ve had this lens since 2009 and have used it on my 40D and T7. So far pleased with it on my 90D. I will post some shots in the group.
I travel with the 10-18 WA Canon and the lens that lives on the 90D body is the F2.8 17-55 Canon, wow, what a perfect lens, shoot it at F 5.6 or less, float the ISO, the results are awesome. Oh, for video, the pancake 24 is the best I have found. Running the RAWS through DXO-3 after the trip is like going full frame when you post process.
I can’t thank you enough for this video and the others you have on this camera, you have made using this camera so much easy for me and I am truly thankful.
I brought that lens 3 months ago and it’s insanely great and sharp. People are definitely sleeping on it. If your staying in the crop sensor lane then that lens is a must have
You'd have to go with the Tamron 24 -70 over the Canon: it's a no-brainer for price and image stabilization. Plus, the Tamron lenses are really well put together - not saying that the Canon ones aren't, but Tamron build quality is outstanding.
I’m in the process of starting an online clothing store, and I want to have amazing fashion photography in it. I recently got a 90D with an EF-S 18-135mm lens (it arrives today💃🏽). I, for sure, lack knowledge and experience when it comes to photography. However, I am determined to learn and love it. Just wondering if the lens that came with the camera are great for fashion photography. Help!
This is great, very helpful, Michael! And it confirms my experience with these Canon lenses: 18-135 STM, 55-250 STM, 18-55 f/4-5.6 STM, 70-300 IS USM II, and one you didn't mention, the wonderful 40mm f2.8 STM (fantastic lens!). I have the 15-85 also and it's a very nice lens, but I don't use it as much since getting the 18-135 STM. A little off the subject, but this is just an observation that really surprised me from doing many side by side comparisons. I have the 80d and SL2 and find the images from the SL2 to be so much better -- cleaner, smoother jpegs, more natural colors, less noise, more natural skin tones. I have the 6dII also, and the SL2 images come very close in overall quality and color. Side by side images from the SL2 and 80d, the SL2 is the clear winner. So I'm selling my 80d. I'll miss the 45 af points, but image quality is more important to me. Thanks again for this video!
im a canon sl2 shooter as well, do you have any new favorite lens choice? i'm thinking of getting the canon 35mm f2 but considering to get another lens as well. thanks!
Thankyou to cover this topic. I already skip Canon 90D So I picked refurbished Canon 80D with 18-135 USM from Canon for $799 plus tax. Also I use Panasonic Lumix G85 with 12-60 Ois lens for my travel channel.
hi I have a 90d with 18 to 135 mm usm kit lens and find 90 % of the photos arent tac sharp they acceptable but am not impressed when looking at them at 100% the focus is rather soft, any advice to help fix
Hello Check your camera settings especially autofocus. One of the settings to turn off is the facial priority autofocus. Stop the lens down to f/8, the sweet spot for most lenses. Use the histogram to check your exposure in live view, which has better focal points. Use ND filters when outside and it’s sunny. Adjust your exposure accordingly. Keep your ISO under 6,400 for sharper photos. If shooting inside in low light, live view, external flash (bounce), keep your iso at 6,400 and under. Shoot with the prime STM lenses - sharper glass 50mm STM 24mm STM 40mm STM Just continued trial & error. Take notes on the photos that come out well. Make small adjustments from there. I’m a work in progress myself and I surely don’t know it all. I hope my experiences help. Most humbly
I really don't see a point in getting a lot of expensive glass like the 2.8 canon zooms just to put them on a 90d, just get a 5d iv, they're on sale for 2k
New here and I appreciate your assistance on the lens. I have used the the Sigma 150 - 600 and have had great photos. I also have used a few older Canon lens and all have produced well.
Wonderful video! I'm so glad you put this together since some of the lenses that under performed are lenses I was thinking about buying for my m6 ii (presuming you would recommend the same lenses for both 90D and M6 ii)! One lens I'd be curious to get your opinion on is the Sigma 100-400mm. I've had mixed results on mine, getting nice images, but I find that the auto focus and continuous shot mode struggle a bit with this lens. Very nice image quality, however. In regard to the 18-35, the more I use it on my M6 ii, on occasion, it seems the auto focus can get a little off. Otherwise, still a great lens and is becoming my standard video lens. In regard to manual primes, I've had wonderful results with the Rokinon 85mm ef and the 10mm 2.8mm Rokinon designed for the m mount. Thanks for all the tips!
Hi. I do aircraft spotting with canon 650D + 70-300mmL with some great results. Wanting more reach would you recommend upgrade to canon 100-400mmLii OR upgrade to canon 90D(32mp)and crop. Thank you in advance.
Interesting. Sounds as though the Canon 100-400mm L IS will not really do on this camera and I'll need the Vii to be properly satisfied. Did not expect to change from RX10 iv but this has tempted me back to DSLR.
I recommend saving your money on the 50mm f/1.8 "nifty fifty." It's all the rage as a walk-around street photography lens, sure, but on a FULL-frame sensor, otherwise on an crop sensor (the 90D) you're actually shooting at an 80mm, and it doesn't perform as well as lenses at that portrait photography focal length, so it becomes neither a good portrait lens, nor a "50mm" "street photography" lens. Though it's a cheap $ lens and great to have for your DSLR FULL-frame camera you might also have in your bag, otherwise put that money towards another lens (if you're only shooting on an APS-C).
Craig Carlson I have it and it’s ok. When the conditions are perfect it’s great, but it’s pretty much 50/50. Check out his Facebook group, I’ve put some of my shots on there.
I see that both versions of the canon 24-105mm are on the not recommended list of lenses you published so I was a bit confused to see you recommend it here. Great video though 👍
I'm using the Canon 17-55mm 2.8 and looks good to me,but I'm not as technical and wise as Michael 😉 hopefully you have a chance to test this lens on the 90D
Hola Michael,buenos videos. Tengo una pregunta,me podrias decir si la 90D tiene nivel en la pantalla LCD,me parecio verla,pero ahora no me sale. Saludos.
I see that you do not mention the Canon 50mm F1.4 USM and the 85mm 1.8 USM, the Sigma 50-100mm? Are they not recommended please. Tell us if there is an update on what 🙏🏽
Any idea of the tamron 150-600 mm sp di usd g2? I just bought one and I am waiting for it. Your recommendations would be very much appreciated! I own a Canon 90d
Hello Micheal The Maven and All, I am looking at buying the Canon 90D or the Canon 7D Mark II which camera focusing system workers better for wildlife and sports with the list of my lenses below? Or is there another Canon camera I should get? 1. Tamron SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 2. Tamron 18-400mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD Len 3. Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L is II USM Telephoto Zoom Lens 4. Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM I have been saving up all year my budget is between $1000.00 to $1400.00 and can only buy one canon so I need help to get the right one. Thank you all that can help
The Canon 85mm prime has a big problem. Canon did issue a firmware update for the 90D to compensate for it but that hasn't completely resolved it and the lens basically throws error 001 up constantly.
I own, besides the Canon 90D, the 10-18mm for vlogging, the 24mm pancake, the 50mm 1.8 and the 55-250mm for b-rolls and time lapses; I didn't want to get the 18-55mm because I was under the impression that it wasn't good enough. Do you think, with the lenses I already have, I'll be ok or shall I get the 18-55mm? Also I tested the 10-18mm in low light while vlogging (I travelled to Rome and I am currently editing the footage and I'll post it in a couple of days) and in spite of its F4.5 aperture the result is not so bad...do you think the Sigma 18-35mm F 1.8 would be a lot better?...maybe a little short when talking in front of it on a gorillapod while walking though. Thanks for your videos, always very useful and informative.
The 18-55mm works fine, but is not a top performer. There is a test I do I call the "extreme test" that is meant to prove two things. It proves the resolving power of the lens, which then also shows if it is better or worse than it would be on an older sensor. I found that it looked about the same on the 90D as it did on the 80D. So it works fine, it just isn't going to offer that punch you will get from a better lens. The 24mm F2.8 rocked in this test, as did the 55-250mm and the 50mm F1.8. For inexpensive lenses they did surprisingly well. If you can get it cheap, the 18-55mm will be ok (the STM version that is), but I wouldn't put more than 50 dollars into it. They are so easy to find used for almost nothing. Anything more than that I would think that it would be a better idea to get the Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 DC OS HSM. Used I have seen them for less than 300 USD. The trouble with the 18-35mm is that it is not a stabilized lens, so for the "walk and talk" style vlog you will have shaky footage, plus 18mm might not be wide enough for what that. The 10-18mm would probably be the best lens for that.
To have spent thousands on lenses over the years and to see that they are no longer any good with the new cameras is a tremendous bummer. I have the 10-22 28-300 and 100-400 which were not cheap, now they are has beens. Makes me want to blow them all up.
I know the Canon 100-400 mk2 is great - or so I hear. But (and this is just my personal attitude) I would consider myself absolutely mad to buy such an expensive lens! I went with the Sigma 150-600 Contemporary instead which is less than half the price, has much more reach and plenty of sharpness. Even if I was swimming in gold I still might prefer the Sigma. I've never paid more than (the equivalent of) $1500 for any camera body or any lens, even with our higher European price level where taxes are always included. And I hope I never will. Warning! A little rant is coming up! (I'll try to be as gentle as I can). Your 16-35s, 24-70s and 24-105s are excellent choices, but in my opinion only for full frame cameras. They make very little sense on an APS-C body like the 90D. Not only because they're outside the budget of most APS-C shooters, but also because a 24-XX is supposed to be an all round zoom, going from a nice wide angle to a short or medium telephoto. But on a 90D the 24 mm is the equivalent of 38.4 mm which is awfully narrow and not wide angle at all. I used to own compact cameras where the widest angle was 38 mm, and it was incredibly frustrating! And between a 16-35 f4 and the amazing Sigma 18-35 F1.8 ... well, I don't think there's any contest.
HI Michael.. i am new to canon camera and got the 90D as this was rrecommended for Macro shooting, which is mainly what I shoot .,, I have been watching your videos, they have really helped me work my way around this brand new camera. My question is, when I have been practicing briefly over xmas my focus seems very limited to a minute area of a flower.. how do I bring the whole flower into focus and sharp? do I need to up the aperture to 5.6 and over as you mention? sorry, very new to this . I am trying to shoot in AV mode and avoiding dummy mode? I am using EFS 60mm Macro lens on the 90D ... is this one that is working okay?
Jo S . Your in luck with the 90d because it has focus bracketing. It takes multiple shots from one press focusing from front to back and you combine them with canon software and the result is a single image with everything in the image in focus. You would have to watch some youtube how to videos and experiment. You have an excellent lense and camera. You can also increase the aperture for a wider area in focus or move the flower further away and crop the image. Theres many macro instructional videos on RUclips.
Now I'm not sure it I should keep my 80D or upgrade to 90D? (Need both video and photos...) 80D better for fotos? 90D better for video? (120fps FHD and 4K)
Great video, any issues with the 70-200 2.8 mk lll? How about same lens using the canon 1.4 extender? Love the 90d, last camera was a Nikon F3 film camera.
I apologise but I'm not on facebook or any other social media. However, I do own a 90D and I am on a budget because of saving for new lenses but I'm looking at getting into landscape and astro on a more serious level and I wondered if anyone could recommend a lens for this type of shooting. I have been saving my pennies for a Canon 24-70 2.8 ii L lens but Im also thinking of a lens that gives a 1.4 or 1.8 up to a 2.8. I have been looking at the Rokinon but always good to gather the opinion of others who may have tried or are doing this genre of shoot. In advance thanks for your help.
Hi Michael, I used my Canon M6 Markii, which have the same sensor as 90D, I use it with a Canon 70-210mm 3.5-4.5 lens(1992) combined with viltox speedbooster adapter and photos are damn sharp!! Iam trying now tih canon 24-85mm 3.5-4.5(1996) and same happens. This older lenses give me a lot of performance on my 32mp sensor I dont know if you can review it. Thanks in advance
Your dedication to this camera makes me feel even better about my 90D purchase. Thanks a lot!
Thank you Igor!
Michael I truly appreciate all of your tutorials, hints, and Facebook groups. Every time I revisit one of your 90D videos, I learn something new. The more I shoot with my 90D, the better I get even with bad photos. I am learning from my successes and even more from my failures. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I Purchased the 90D in advance of this trip and spent some quality time on both your 90D Introduction and Wildlife Tutorials. Time well spent. I made all the menu adjustments you suggested. Thanks for all the great tips! :)
Short version is results on the 90D are absolutely fantastic when used with the Canon 100-400 4.5-5.6 L Mk 2 lens. Images are sharp as a pin; colour and contrast are exceptional. When shooting birds at quite some distance, fully zoomed, I am able to crop the images substantially and still have a most acceptable result. The 70D was pretty good with this setup but the 90D is excellent. Great lens/body combination! When in the bush, I now leave my 18-135 kit lens on the 70D so the two rigs give me total coverage. Cheers, Keith.
I have a few lenses I use on the 90D but by far the best pair for me is the 90D with Sigma 50mm 1.4 Art DG. Stunning results.
Just for people who like to know.... I personally am very satisfied with my canon 70-300L, tamron 15-30 G2, tamron 10-24 hdl, and especially very sharp the tamron 70-200 G2..... I own the canon 100-400 II with extender and they are great...... just as great is my tamron 100-400....but I read mixed reviews.... thanks for all the afford you put into it!
I bought the EFS 10-22 back in 2011with my 550D and it has been one of my favourites. The only problem is the chromatic aberration but 90D can fix this. I upgraded to 90D and it is amazing!
Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 lens was awesome back in the day, had it on my Canon 80D and worked pretty good.
I have a 28-135mm USM 3.5-5.6. I’ve had this lens since 2009 and have used it on my 40D and T7. So far pleased with it on my 90D. I will post some shots in the group.
The 16-35 F4 and 70-200 F4 work perfect. Very happy with the results.
I'm about to order a 90D... So excited😎 And for now, I think I'm just gonna go with the 18-135 mm lens.
Is it good for RUclips vlogging?
I travel with the 10-18 WA Canon and the lens that lives on the 90D body is the F2.8 17-55 Canon, wow, what a perfect lens, shoot it at F 5.6 or less, float the ISO, the results are awesome. Oh, for video, the pancake 24 is the best I have found. Running the RAWS through DXO-3 after the trip is like going full frame when you post process.
Thanks Michael for such good advice on best lenses for the Canon 90D.
Mike, you are spot on about the Tamron 18-270. Even other Canon bodies do not fair well with this lens. Good review!
24 mm f/2.8 STM is a good lens and it is cheap. It is sharper than the kit lens.
I can’t thank you enough for this video and the others you have on this camera, you have made using this camera so much easy for me and I am truly thankful.
Thanks Mike! Although pretty pricey, think I will buy the EF 24-70. covers a lot of situations. Gracias.
The best lens is the one that you can take photos with that helps you make your client happy and pays U.
what about the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS did I miss it?
my favourite lens for the 80D and 90D, definitely undeappreciated
I brought that lens 3 months ago and it’s insanely great and sharp. People are definitely sleeping on it. If your staying in the crop sensor lane then that lens is a must have
I also had this lens with my 7D and I loved it. For sure the best efs lens in my opinion.
Can someone tell me if the EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS lense is good on canon 90D for mostly videos?
great stuff thanks , my 90d arrives tuesday
I’ve been using mine for about 6 months and I love it just need better lense!
You'd have to go with the Tamron 24 -70 over the Canon: it's a no-brainer for price and image stabilization. Plus, the Tamron lenses are really well put together - not saying that the Canon ones aren't, but Tamron build quality is outstanding.
its recommended in the video.
Hey man, if you were to pick between the canon 17-55 and the Sigma 17-50, which would you go for? Would be used mainly for video.
Thank you for listing the best lenses recommendations. I love my Canon 90D, and would like to pair the correct lenses to it.
My favourite canon group on FB
What are your top 3 lenses that you personally would have for the 90D if you were only shooting portrait shots of people? love the channel.
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM
Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM
Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 STM
I’m in the process of starting an online clothing store, and I want to have amazing fashion photography in it. I recently got a 90D with an EF-S 18-135mm lens (it arrives today💃🏽).

This is great, very helpful, Michael! And it confirms my experience with these Canon lenses: 18-135 STM, 55-250 STM, 18-55 f/4-5.6 STM, 70-300 IS USM II, and one you didn't mention, the wonderful 40mm f2.8 STM (fantastic lens!). I have the 15-85 also and it's a very nice lens, but I don't use it as much since getting the 18-135 STM. A little off the subject, but this is just an observation that really surprised me from doing many side by side comparisons.

im a canon sl2 shooter as well, do you have any new favorite lens choice? i'm thinking of getting the canon 35mm f2 but considering to get another lens as well. thanks!
Thanks for the video, what are your views on the 70-200 f2.8 on canon apsc cameras. Both canon and 3rd party lenses
Great video Michael! I would also like to add the Canon 70-300mm f4.5-5.6 DO IS USM and the Tokina 11-16mm , both have served me well.
Thankyou to cover this topic.
I already skip Canon 90D
So I picked refurbished Canon 80D with 18-135 USM from Canon for $799 plus tax.
Also I use Panasonic Lumix G85 with 12-60 Ois lens for my travel channel.
I tried the Canon 10-18 and sigma 18-35 f1.4 and the 50mm f1.8 . I love all 3 equally. I put together a comparison video on my channel on those
I have a Canon 17-55 2.8f and I’m thinking of getting a 90D. I love the lens on my 70D. What do you think of it?
Michael, Thank so much for this information!
Surprised to hear bad things about the 90d with 24-105 mk1. I’m loving that combo
The 15-85 is a great option ...or was. Is not yet in production? My couple has one and is excelent in versatillity.
Thanks a lot. You resolved my problem with this amazing video.
What about the EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM?
This is very helpful. What about the Canon EOS f2.8 L series, first version (not II)?
hi I have a 90d with 18 to 135 mm usm kit lens and find 90 % of the photos arent tac sharp they acceptable but am not impressed when looking at them at 100% the focus is rather soft, any advice to help fix

Most humbly
One more thing,
Back button focus helps
Any info on the sigma 18-35?
My very best lens!
A repeat from what others are asking: Any suggestions for using the Tamron 18-400?
I really don't see a point in getting a lot of expensive glass like the 2.8 canon zooms just to put them on a 90d, just get a 5d iv, they're on sale for 2k
New here and I appreciate your assistance on the lens. I have used the the Sigma 150 - 600 and have had great photos. I also have used a few older Canon lens and all have produced well.
Wonderful video! I'm so glad you put this together since some of the lenses that under performed are lenses I was thinking about buying for my m6 ii (presuming you would recommend the same lenses for both 90D and M6 ii)! One lens I'd be curious to get your opinion on is the Sigma 100-400mm. I've had mixed results on mine, getting nice images, but I find that the auto focus and continuous shot mode struggle a bit with this lens. Very nice image quality, however. In regard to the 18-35, the more I use it on my M6 ii, on occasion, it seems the auto focus can get a little off. Otherwise, still a great lens and is becoming my standard video lens.
In regard to manual primes, I've had wonderful results with the Rokinon 85mm ef and the 10mm 2.8mm Rokinon designed for the m mount. Thanks for all the tips!
Thanks I have 5 of those lenses !!
Buy a Pentax K3 iii it has IBIS which 90D doesn't have. Overall K3 iii is better. Also weather sealed.
Hi. I do aircraft spotting with canon 650D + 70-300mmL with some great results. Wanting more reach would you recommend upgrade to canon 100-400mmLii OR upgrade to canon 90D(32mp)and crop. Thank you in advance.
Really good info! Was wondering about lens performance on the 90D.
Thank you Mr Michael
Just starting out what would be good one for pets and people, stills and videos?
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM
Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 STM
Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 STM
Hi, i would like to know if the 17-50mm tamron 2.8 f work great with the canon 90D. Great video
Thank you! Very informative!
and EF-S 55-250 , IS RECOMMENDED OR NOT RECOMMENDED?
Only the newer EF-S 55-250 IS STM version is recommended
Hi Micheal, Great platform this one is. We Please advise on the compatibility of Tamron 150-600mm g2 with 90D
Interesting. Sounds as though the Canon 100-400mm L IS will not really do on this camera and I'll need the Vii to be properly satisfied. Did not expect to change from RX10 iv but this has tempted me back to DSLR.
I recommend saving your money on the 50mm f/1.8 "nifty fifty." It's all the rage as a walk-around street photography lens, sure, but on a FULL-frame sensor, otherwise on an crop sensor (the 90D) you're actually shooting at an 80mm, and it doesn't perform as well as lenses at that portrait photography focal length, so it becomes neither a good portrait lens, nor a "50mm" "street photography" lens. Though it's a cheap $ lens and great to have for your DSLR FULL-frame camera you might also have in your bag, otherwise put that money towards another lens (if you're only shooting on an APS-C).
is the 18-135 good for making RUclips content?
I love your videos.... Clarity always comes through in your videos.. pH org. Ohio
Anyone try the Tamron 100-400 on the 90d? It’s pretty decent on the 70d.
Brian Odell i also have this lens and would love to hear if anyone has tried it with the newest sensor.
Craig Carlson I have it and it’s ok. When the conditions are perfect it’s great, but it’s pretty much 50/50. Check out his Facebook group, I’ve put some of my shots on there.
Liam, ok, thanks, i appreciate your sharing your experience.
Hi nice video, as a beginner which lens do you think is good for vlogging?
I'm looking to buy this camera and it's March 2023 and you have the best resources available to help me get a kit together
I see that both versions of the canon 24-105mm are on the not recommended list of lenses you published so I was a bit confused to see you recommend it here. Great video though 👍
im using canon 250D and I think this video can also help me 🙃
Should I have to buy Canon 24_105 f4 new version instead of Canon 18_135 Len's for Canon 90d .plz reply sir ❤️
Any lists like these for Sony?? apsc or ff? No worries if not, just wondering!
Tamron 35-150mm F/2.8-4.0 Di OSD is cutting it well. Sharpest lens I've seen on the 90D yet.
Is it good for video work ? And how autofocus works in video mode?
Thanks for this video. What would a good macro lens be for the 90D?
I'm using the Canon 17-55mm 2.8 and looks good to me,but I'm not as technical and wise as Michael 😉 hopefully you have a chance to test this lens on the 90D
i have the 17-55 too, but have the feeling that some shots are a bit soft. Still testing it out though
Hello, do you have a list which are the best Lenses voor My Canon 90D.
So the Diffraction correction should be turned on at all times?
Hola Michael,buenos videos.
Tengo una pregunta,me podrias decir si la 90D tiene nivel en la pantalla LCD,me parecio verla,pero ahora no me sale.
Saludos.
I see that you do not mention the Canon 50mm F1.4 USM and the 85mm 1.8 USM, the Sigma 50-100mm? Are they not recommended please. Tell us if there is an update on what 🙏🏽
Any idea of the tamron 150-600 mm sp di usd g2?
I just bought one and I am waiting for it.
Your recommendations would be very much appreciated!
I own a Canon 90d
Why doesn't diffraction show up in my menu. Have tried with both Manual and Program mode selected with a Canon Lens that is recognized.
What about the canon 17-40 f4
Michael cost being a big thing Sigma 100 -400 or Tamron 100 - 400 or the 18 - 400?
Hello Micheal The Maven and All, I am looking at buying the Canon 90D or the Canon 7D Mark II which camera focusing system workers better for wildlife and sports with the list of my lenses below? Or is there another Canon camera I should get?
1. Tamron SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2
2. Tamron 18-400mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD Len
3. Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L is II USM Telephoto Zoom Lens
4. Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM
I have been saving up all year my budget is between $1000.00 to $1400.00 and can only buy one canon so I need help to get the right one.
Thank you all that can help
The Sigma 30mm 1.4 Art is a good value.
Tamron 150-600mm g2 or sigma 150-600 is best for wildlife ??
Any lens for vertical full body portraits for this camera
Tamron 100-400 seems super sharp though the AF is not great.
Plus the canon 24-70 f2.8 mk1, Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 and canon70-200mm f2.8 mk1 on the Canon 90d?
Is tamron macro lens 90mm recommended for canon 90d ???
The Canon 85mm prime has a big problem. Canon did issue a firmware update for the 90D to compensate for it but that hasn't completely resolved it and the lens basically throws error 001 up constantly.
I own, besides the Canon 90D, the 10-18mm for vlogging, the 24mm pancake, the 50mm 1.8 and the 55-250mm for b-rolls and time lapses; I didn't want to get the 18-55mm because I was under the impression that it wasn't good enough. Do you think, with the lenses I already have, I'll be ok or shall I get the 18-55mm? Also I tested the 10-18mm in low light while vlogging (I travelled to Rome and I am currently editing the footage and I'll post it in a couple of days) and in spite of its F4.5 aperture the result is not so bad...do you think the Sigma 18-35mm F 1.8 would be a lot better?...maybe a little short when talking in front of it on a gorillapod while walking though. Thanks for your videos, always very useful and informative.
The newest 18-55 seems ok. The sigma is sharper, and wider aperture, but doesn’t auto focus as well as the 10-18 and is more expensive
The 18-55mm works fine, but is not a top performer. There is a test I do I call the "extreme test" that is meant to prove two things. It proves the resolving power of the lens, which then also shows if it is better or worse than it would be on an older sensor. I found that it looked about the same on the 90D as it did on the 80D. So it works fine, it just isn't going to offer that punch you will get from a better lens. The 24mm F2.8 rocked in this test, as did the 55-250mm and the 50mm F1.8. For inexpensive lenses they did surprisingly well.
If you can get it cheap, the 18-55mm will be ok (the STM version that is), but I wouldn't put more than 50 dollars into it. They are so easy to find used for almost nothing. Anything more than that I would think that it would be a better idea to get the Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 DC OS HSM. Used I have seen them for less than 300 USD. The trouble with the 18-35mm is that it is not a stabilized lens, so for the "walk and talk" style vlog you will have shaky footage, plus 18mm might not be wide enough for what that. The 10-18mm would probably be the best lens for that.
To have spent thousands on lenses over the years and to see that they are no longer any good with the new cameras is a tremendous bummer. I have the 10-22 28-300 and 100-400 which were not cheap, now they are has beens. Makes me want to blow them all up.
I know the Canon 100-400 mk2 is great - or so I hear. But (and this is just my personal attitude) I would consider myself absolutely mad to buy such an expensive lens! I went with the Sigma 150-600 Contemporary instead which is less than half the price, has much more reach and plenty of sharpness. Even if I was swimming in gold I still might prefer the Sigma. I've never paid more than (the equivalent of) $1500 for any camera body or any lens, even with our higher European price level where taxes are always included. And I hope I never will.
Warning! A little rant is coming up! (I'll try to be as gentle as I can).
Your 16-35s, 24-70s and 24-105s are excellent choices, but in my opinion only for full frame cameras. They make very little sense on an APS-C body like the 90D. Not only because they're outside the budget of most APS-C shooters, but also because a 24-XX is supposed to be an all round zoom, going from a nice wide angle to a short or medium telephoto. But on a 90D the 24 mm is the equivalent of 38.4 mm which is awfully narrow and not wide angle at all. I used to own compact cameras where the widest angle was 38 mm, and it was incredibly frustrating!
And between a 16-35 f4 and the amazing Sigma 18-35 F1.8 ... well, I don't think there's any contest.
Thank you so much sir...👍
HI Michael.. i am new to canon camera and got the 90D as this was rrecommended for Macro shooting, which is mainly what I shoot .,, I have been watching your videos, they have really helped me work my way around this brand new camera. My question is, when I have been practicing briefly over xmas my focus seems very limited to a minute area of a flower.. how do I bring the whole flower into focus and sharp? do I need to up the aperture to 5.6 and over as you mention? sorry, very new to this . I am trying to shoot in AV mode and avoiding dummy mode? I am using EFS 60mm Macro lens on the 90D ... is this one that is working okay?
Jo S . Your in luck with the 90d because it has focus bracketing. It takes multiple shots from one press focusing from front to back and you combine them with canon software and the result is a single image with everything in the image in focus. You would have to watch some youtube how to videos and experiment. You have an excellent lense and camera. You can also increase the aperture for a wider area in focus or move the flower further away and crop the image. Theres many macro instructional videos on RUclips.
I saw on your current list that the tamron 100400 isn't recommended. Why is that?
Now I'm not sure it I should keep my 80D or upgrade to 90D? (Need both video and photos...) 80D better for fotos? 90D better for video? (120fps FHD and 4K)
Michael, what is your opinion about Sigma 150-500 with 90D ???
Great video, any issues with the 70-200 2.8 mk lll? How about same lens using the canon 1.4 extender? Love the 90d, last camera was a Nikon F3 film camera.
Looking for sharp details shooting car photography, what would you recommend out of that group? Maybe the 18-135mm?
18-135 is a good all round zoom, but it's not the sharpest.
My usage for a lens is shooting talking head videos like this video and model photography. Which lens would be best for these use cases?
I buy the 70-200mm f/4L IS usm ....not good with 90D?
Thanks for your advice. I would like to learn 90d equipped with tamron 100-400mm f4.5-6.3. Do you have any ideas?
I apologise but I'm not on facebook or any other social media. However, I do own a 90D and I am on a budget because of saving for new lenses but I'm looking at getting into landscape and astro on a more serious level and I wondered if anyone could recommend a lens for this type of shooting. I have been saving my pennies for a Canon 24-70 2.8 ii L lens but Im also thinking of a lens that gives a 1.4 or 1.8 up to a 2.8. I have been looking at the Rokinon but always good to gather the opinion of others who may have tried or are doing this genre of shoot. In advance thanks for your help.
Hi Michael,
I used my Canon M6 Markii, which have the same sensor as 90D, I use it with a Canon 70-210mm 3.5-4.5 lens(1992) combined with viltox speedbooster adapter and photos are damn sharp!! Iam trying now tih canon 24-85mm 3.5-4.5(1996) and same happens. This older lenses give me a lot of performance on my 32mp sensor
I dont know if you can review it. Thanks in advance
What are you think about this lens with 90d canon ef 70-200mm f/2.8l is iii usm?
Does the Sigma 85mm work with it, I saw the 50-100 lens does
