      @@carlarodriguez5267 prob because thats kind of a personal choice u can do a few things alot of people end up going with the 70-200 still, you can also go with the sigma i believe its a 50-100 1.8 is probably the closest match 1.8 = about a 2.8 ff equivelant but u get less reach and depending ond price and what ur planning to shoot there are other options basically a telephoto.(the sigma listed above would probably be great for portrait, wedding, event, but for something like wildlife you will prob wqnt something with more reach.

    It very much depends on what type of photography someone does. For me I do landscape and wildlife, especially birds. So I have 4 lenses which covers me from 10mm right up to 600mm, as I am using a crop sensor camera it is actually 15mm right through to 900mm ff equivalent. My lenses are 10-20mm, 18-55mm 70-300mm and 150-600mm. The first two lenses are great for landscape, while the other two zooms are great for wildlife. But I sometimes use the zooms for landscape when I only want to catch just part of a scene, as I can bring the viewers attention to one part rather that the whole thing. The 70-300 is great for wide open landscape to capture parts of it or for wildlife especially larger animals even at quite a distance, so a very versatile lens that can cover many situations. The 150-600 is my go to wildlife lens, especially for small birds and animals that are considerable distances away. But I sometimes use it for landscape, such as capturing part of a mountain peak or a valley, allowing me to really bring in just part of the scene but in great detail. With those 4 lenses I really can capture anything whether it be really close up or a long way away. While the 150-600mm lens is a monster of a lens I usually use that the most as 70% of my photography is wildlife, but I carry all 4 lenses with me most of the time. You never know what you might come across and may need to change lenses.

    I know everyone raves about and declares that a 24-70mm f2.8 is a must, but I’m super happy with my 24-105mm f4. Yes you lose some benefits of a wider aperture, but the Sony version has great appearing bokeh and I find myself ok with what it lacks vs what I gain with that little bit of extra reach, which is something I’m always frustrated with when using a 24-70. And when you’re zoomed in to like 70mm and higher for portraits and other subjects, that blown out background looks just as good as most other lenses! All in all, I like their versatility of the 24-105 and find ways to compensate for what it lacks.
    Also, I’ve found like like 50mm > 35mm all day! Great video though, mahalo!

I am constantly amazed at the razor sharp quality of the images it produces and the versatility of it. I LOVE this lens so very much and use it for almost everything. It is truly a workhorse of a lens!

      I"ve had the Mk I for a decade or so and it's awesome. I've also got the 2x teleconverter that works pretty well. I use it more than all my other lenses combined, but with the 24-105mm f4L I've got on order, that may change.
      The main issue I had with it initially was the way that it stood out.

  • @adamabele785
    @adamabele785 5 лет назад +44

    The kind of lens you need depends on what you want to shoot. Period. So you might need some very compact and lightweight stuff for street photography like a pancake lens, an even faster zoom lens for sports or a big aperture prime lens for night shootings or a fast prime lens of middle zoom range for portraits. Wildlife photographers might look out for gear that is waterproof. Astronomers will reach out for reflecting telescopes. Divers also need different gear and for some a GoPro style video camera is the thing they need. But I agree that most cases are covered with your choice. On the other hand, you might involve the help of a camera dealer to give you a recommendation and you can try some lenses to find what suits best. Working with your gear enables you to see the limitations of each lens and with more experience you might know better what choice you want to make.

    I eventually chose the 70-200 f4 IS L above the 2.8. With the reason the F4 lens is much lighter (like the half compared to the F2.8), cheaper and in combination with the Eos 6D i can lift up the ISO when light gets lower. Yes the bokeh will be less buttery but can still be awesome!

The 70-200 2.8 is a BEAST of a lens! Definitely not travel friendly! Borrowed one from a buddy of mine. OMG! I renewed my gym membership after using it reminded me that I had no upper body strength!

    Here are some ideas for EF full frame:
    A.
    24-70mm 2.8L II (general purpose, very sharp)
    85mm 1.2L II (great for portraits)
    100-400mm 4.5-5.6L IS II (macro, subject isolation at 400mm, great reach)
    B.
    24-35mm 2.0 Art (very sharp, fast at 2.0)
    50mm 1.2L (very artistic)
    70-200mm 2.8L IS III (good for portraits, good reach, some macro, very sharp)
    C.
    16-35mm 2.8L III (ultra wide for vlogging, artistic, stars)
    24-70mm 2.8L II (general purpose, very sharp)
    70-200mm 2.8L IS III (good for portraits, good reach, some macro, very sharp)
    D.
    24mm 1.4L II (group portraits, wide look, very sharp)
    50mm 1.2L (very artistic)
    135mm 2.0L (fantastic for portraits, very sharp, reach)
    In any case would always pick a high megapixel full frame camera, switchable to a APS-C crop mode with at least 10 megapixels, for additional flexibility.

  • @rogerhuston8287
    @rogerhuston8287 5 лет назад +3

    LOL - I thought you were going to say the 3 zooms. Good for you going a different path. My first lens for my Sony A7 was the 35 1.4. It's a great focal length. I know people like the nifty 50 and there is nothing wrong with it, the 35 just worked for me as a single lens. Now that I have the 16-35, I sold the 35 prime and got the 85 1.2.
    I agree the 70-200 2.8 is another versatile lens. I know many people recommend the F4 version, especially for landscape. It's a lot lighter to carry. But the 2.8 just allows you to use it in more situations.

    • @VisaxLP
      @VisaxLP 5 лет назад +1

      Everyone is different. I love my 75mm equivalent. I guess having some zooms and complementing it with one prime that best suits your individual preference (be it 35, 50 or 75) is the way to go.

    Lenses for every photographer, even beginners, the lenses you advised are indeed excellent.
    We have to consider lenses as a long term investment, but for someone starting out this is way over the top.
    Canon lenses to consider (in my humble opinion) FF equivalents:
    Canon primes
    the nifty 50 from Canon for the price an excellent lens. The lens that was given for free when you bought a SLR in the past century.
    (Canon 85mm f/1.8 EF a great lens for portraits and lower light situations.)
    Canon 35mm f/2.0 IS USM less expensive than the Sigma, you loose a stop and you have IS, the Sigma 35mm Art is a faster lens but AF can be quirky on some Canon bodies.
    zoom lenses
    The 24-70mm f/2.8 is expensive,. An essential lens for event photography, even for landscape.
    The 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS arguably one of the best lenses around, the latest incarnation costs around 2300€... If you are more into landscape than events i would suggest the f/4.0 version, less bockehlissious but roughly 1/3thd of the weight, for landscape and even events f/4.0 is sufficient and for weddings you have the bride and groom into focus...For landscape you will stop down to f/8.0- f/11, so what is the point of carrying a 1.6kg beast.
    You can use third party zooms like e.g. Tamron but CaNikon lenses hold their value more. In the case you want to quit it is less painful...
    With Regards

      Try the Sigma 50 - 100mm f1.8 it's an apsc lens n the closest you'll get to a true 70 - 200 in terms of quality. The only thing is you'll be a little short at the long end at a fullframe equivalent of around 160mm.

  • @BenelliMr
    @BenelliMr 5 лет назад +5

    my to go lens is a 50 mm 1.8: much sharper than the sharpest zoom lens, much lighter, much nicer blurry background, much more light at night, much less flare when shooting sunsets, etc.
    Just zoom with your feet; just shoot landscapes with panorama merging.
    I got rid of all my excessive gear; I lost a lot of money when selling second hand,; but I got a lot of money left to spend on traveling
    Traveling so light: a completely new photography feeling: one camera, one lens, no lens changing, no dust on the sensor,
    Back to basics ... real Zen photography
    And; ... shooting with a 50 mm: your photos always look right

    • @ma3xiu1
      @ma3xiu1 5 лет назад

      To work out the equivalent you need to divide by the crop factor, so for APS-C it is around 45-135mm or so. My Canon M50 came with a 15-45 (24-72 equiv) and a 55-200 (88-320 equiv), and I bought the 22mm f2 prime lens (which is equivalent to 35mm f3.2). It's a compact little setup, but of course you're not going to get the same results as a proper full frame setup.

Late last year I picked up the 16-35 f2.8 which I’m loving for landscape and some neat street shots. Next up, instead of the 70-200, will be the 100-400 for some wildlife and compressed landscape shots. Also looking at the 90mm macro for portrait and macro. That should give me complete versatility and leave me broke but still married😄.

    24-70mm save you time and can get every shot if everything is more faster pace and don’t have to worry if in tight areas.
    70-200mm is nice to be farther away some people don’t like cameras being close to them and for portraits you would be very surprised. Also for ta ceremony darker light the 2.8 factor makes it with ease and sometime people don’t want you so close during certain moments.

I purchased the RF 24-70 f2.8 at the same time. I completely agree...this is the lens that will cover almost anything beautifully. Fixed and fast will be the next purchase.

    i loooove that video because it confirmed exactly my strategy i currently made in deciding wich are the lenses i'm going to buy for my first full frame camera. The only little different is: i do rather landscapes then portraits (vacation fotographer) and i think about an tamron sp 15-30 mm or a single prime lense around 18 mm (Zeiss Batis 2.8). Probably my set up will look like this (one day/ all will be second hand lenses):
    - Tamron SP 15-30 mm F/2.8
    - Canon EF 24-70 mm F/2.8 L II USM
    (a good alternativ is by the way Sigma 24 - 105mm / f4 DG OS HSM ART imo if you dont like to shot with a tele but i want to)
    - Canon EF 70-200mm F/2.8L IS II USM (just realized how much cheaper it is then the sony 70-200 mm F/2.8 GM. i'm shocked.)
    of course i need an adapter, but it is much cheaper in total then buying new lenses for the camera i recently got. and i spend seriously days on doing researches wich lense provides the best quality in relation to the cost and wich lenses are generelly available on the second hand market.
    to be true... i didnt think about about a 35 mm before but after i saw the pictures i got seriously interested in a 35 mm as well :D.... even if i wanted to limit my set to three lenses.

      ​@@VisaxLP currently you get it for about 2.000 € used or as a "grey import" from hongkong or where ever it comes from. this is still a lot of money but you will get a perfect lense for the money. all test and reviews say that the picture quality is amazingly high. but i also will take the canon 70-200 2.8 first as it costs the half of the sony. if more of the sony's are on the second hand market i will take it. i am willing to pay about 1.400 € for it in a good condition. i guess in 3-4 years it will reach that price. as a professional there is no reason to buy this instandly imo.

      Excuse me, but nothing beat the power of a 10-18mm lens for landascapes.

    Honestly, I don’t think you should own any of these. Perhaps you should. It comes done to one thing, and one thing only: self awareness of your style. For example, I shoot 95% of my work with a 24mm... a lot will say I shouldn’t but why not? I like it. The other 5% is with a 50mm. I even shoot hockey games with it, but that’s because I don’t like to capture these ultra close up shots. So I’d say, know your style and then adapt your gear to it. :) maybe just get a decent 24-70, shoot with it for a few months and see what focal length you like the most, get that prime. Idk, just some thoughts, maybe it brings some value to some.
