      I use a Canon EOS M100. I'm getting a new lens soon because I have a f.3.5 kit lens, so it's not very good in low light. I think I'm going to get a f.2.0 12mm prime lens made by rokinon.

    A little tip that no one seemed to tell me about lenses:
    You can actually take the lens cap and the sensor cap and screw them together to keep dust out of them when the lens is connected to your camera.

    Realistically speaking, the *default* lens that you get with your camera is more than enough for you to begin your channel. As your channel develops and you're looking for ways of getting different shots and fit more in your videos, you can *consider* other lenses, but for the most part you won't need them... 👌🏻
    My entire channel was shot with *just* the default lens and my iPhone and I have *never* had the thought of needing additional lenses. If you have a videography channel, however, those different lenses will play a much larger role.

    *Okay, Total Noob here.* Just bought the Cannon M50 which came with the Canon EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 is STM Lens. Keep in mind I only have two primary reasons for this purchase. 1. I have a RUclips channel which I've been using my Galaxy Smart phone for all these years and 2. Being a Jeweler, I wanted to step up my game in quality photos of my rings. I tried today for the first time and was really disappointed. Set to Automode being I'm such a noob I realized that I couldn't even stand up and take a photo of my rings in a light box because trying to zoom in close enough to such a small item even from only something like 5' feet away didn't work so I had to hunch over and get the camera very close to the object to work bringing me to my question. For my use, especially that of taking photos at lets say 5' feet from a 1/2" item wanting to really zoom in tight for that quality shot and yes I do like the fade around the outside of the object, what lens should I purchase?
    I'd love to hear from anyone with any knowledge of cameras, I'm sure you guys got this down and I'm just an infant in the new world of EOS cameras now. Any recommendations? (Subscribed and Liked). Thanks guys!

    Food for thought: I have a Sony A7R2 (Full Frame Camera) and I have a Sigma 16mm F1/4 which is a APS-C lens. In the menu there’s a mode where you can change your camera to APS-C mode to get rid of the vignetting

    • @yesyeahyes1
      @yesyeahyes1 Год назад

      ​@JustColeHipHop Changing the setting in the camera's menu is free. This person is saying they have a full frame camera (typically uses more expensive lens) and an aps-c lens (typically for less expensive cameras). They are not spending more money than they need to by using an aps-c lens and changing the camera's settings, they actually have a cheaper lens than needed

    I have Canon M50 which gets dusty on the shelf because its a rocket science for me to use it, I don't like how I look using that camera so I came back to my smartphone. I just press record and don't think about those settings. I thought I might need those wide angle lenses covered in this video, but I'm scared again to pay a lot of money and break my head how to use it. Thank you for breaking down this topic, maybe you can recommend exact lense for my type of camera, so.i don't have to analyse numbers and technical part, because I'm not a tech person at all.🌼
