    I have the sigma 24-70 & It works great for handheld shots. However, on a gimbal or rig I am breaking my back because it's so heavy. I have a 50mm 1.8 that I use everyday but I need a prime wide lens. This was a w & helped, thank you bro.

    Super helpful! I'm fairly new to videography and I've been using the Tamron 28-75 for music videos and concert shoots and wondering why some of my shots feel too close/cropped, and this cleared it up for me. The shot of the artist in the car from the passenger's seat - too funny I had the exact same issue and ended up not able to use most of that footage. Thanks much for the info!

    • @CrackaLackTV
      @CrackaLackTV  Год назад +1

      Yes but you'd be using a zoom lens instead of multiple prime lenses. As you see, I'm a fan of prime lenses only. Zoom are good but I think prime are great. Both are good either way.

    The only thing I agree with you on is PRIME. I can't for the life of me a good enough zoom :(. 24 mm and 50mm is very low range in between no wonder I find myself dozing in music videos. I think that is the basic standard for all music videos or 35 to 50.
