thank you
The price is worth it to get a light from a US company vs a Chinese company.
I don’t have person 1 icon… 😢
Did you hit the "select people" option? Is your Lightroom updated?
Just get the RF 24-105 F2.8 and sell all your other lenses to finance it
Modern problems require modern solutions! You are right.
@@marcoavaldez I mean it is pretty expensive though 🫣
So it made you lazy, and now the quality of your wedding videos is compromised because you don't make the effort to achieve wide angles when needed and super telephoto shots when necessary.
I wouldn't say lazy. It made it easier and no. My wedding film didn't suffer because I got wide, medium, and telephoto shots in it. Plus I had my 2nd cam with the 70-200mm on a tripod as a backup.
Oh how i wish the 24-105 f/2.8L was smaller and lighter!
And a bit cheaper 🥲
@@marcoavaldez yeah but if it wasnt so big I would love it as one lens to rule them all 😊and right now its big heavy AND expensive 😅
change ur title, its lighroom classic
Sure is a nice lens... but if you use Sony you have the choice of the (very good/expensive) Sony 24-70/2.8, or the new Sigma 24-70, or theTamron 28-75, and the 35-150...!! Plus you can extend the focal range with Sony's high Mpix bodies...!! I'm a Canon user but I feel it is my duty to expose their (expensive) choice limitations. The more people that go to Sony, the better.
You are right about that. I love Canon but I'm not a fan of limiting the choices. Id gladly love an alternative for more competitive pricing and innovation.
i was about to say the 35-150 might be a better fit , but then i realized you're on an RF Mount
I sure am. I wish Canon would be quicker about more options and give third party the ok to make lenses. That would be great!
@@marcoavaldez theyrr opening it slowly, but i have the feeling the 35-150 wont be near ( itll kill their 2870f2 and 24105 2.8 sales )
I have it's little brother, the 24-105 f/4, and it's just as versatile. Even at F4, it does well with portraits, especially at the longer end. And it's an amazing video performer just like the 24-70. And it's about $1000 cheaper. So if f/2.8 isn't a necessity (and for most people, I don't think it is), the 24-105 f/4L is a fine alternative.
Yep, I shoot with an L Series 24-105 and a 70-200. A 24-70 with that clarity and that 2.8 would be spectacular in low light situations. I shoot some long exposure stuff at night with my 70-200 just because of the f/2.8.
That was actually my first RF lens! I ended up selling it awhile back because i never used it and bought a Ricoh GR III for when i travel and explore cities. Sure miss that lens but it needed an owner that would actually use it.
@@marcoavaldez I just sold my zv-1 because I only use my r6 mark ii 😂
The F8 is even 300$ cheaper.
What focus ranges do you use your RF 70-200/2.8 L? Is the new RF 24-105/2.8 L a viable option, not considering price? Or do you need the longer focal range from 105mm to 200mm. EF used to have the 135/2 and 200/2.8 primes that I owned and used a lot. Take care.
I find myself more in the 125-150 range with my 70-200. The RF 24-105 f/2.8 was considered but that was an extra $1000 i didn't want to shell out. The 24-70 is honestly fine. I just love my 70-200 too much lol.
Hey, I just added the 70-200mm to my kit. When zooming in, does your lens skip 85mm?
Mine does not! Yours is having issues?
@@marcoavaldez, yes! Thanks for responding.
I love my 24-70 too, it is just so versatile. If I ever need to grab a single lens and run to get a job done it will almost always the 24-70. But, when it comes to the wow factor, my 85mm f 1.4 prime will always be my absolute favorite... unless I can afford the 1.2 version someday. It's just such a flattering focal range for portraits and other specific projects.
Kevin. You are absolutely correct about that wow factor. I have not had the pleasure of using the 85mm prime, but i get the same feeling with my 70-200. I bet those shots come out great on the 85!
What about this then? CANON RF 24-105MM F2.8L IS USM Z
I considered that one for sure! I didn't go for it because of the price. I've also heard the sharpness isn't the best but I can't confirm since I've not used it. Even if it's not sharp, I'm sure it's still a solid lens that solves a lot of problems.
@@marcoavaldezI heard it's super sharp. Never seen anyone with it to use it though 😂
It would be a fun lens to use and we'd surely get a workout out of it 💪🏻
This lens feels geared toward video. That's the only real advantage I can think of for having a powered zoom.
@@marcoavaldezI have it and it’s not soft. I started using it for softball when I position myself by home-plate. It’s replaced my 24-70 f/2.8. The pics are great and the lens is very fast.
Thanks for the video man. Short video and direct to the point. No time wasted. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Thank you for your review- I've been thinking of getting one of these and probably need that microphone adaptor plug as well since I too have an android.
It would be perfect to get started in content creation! Or just for fun 🙏🏼
THANK YOU!
Why the fuck you dont tell HOW to draw that fucking square?
Thank you!
I should have watched this 4 clients ago.. lol
Now you know though 😅
Thank u 😊
Can you do without Light room classic????
I believe so! I think you can do the same in the cloud version. Not at home to check right now.
THANKS A MILLION, you save me, love from Brazil!!!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you
You're welcome! 🙏🏼
This video moves so fast it’s hard to keep up. Even when I rewind it
Thanks for the feedback. I try to make my content quick to not waste others time and get to the point. I'll take this feedback going forward and find a good pace.
It’s not worth it I use it twice and it really stop working
Hate to hear that! Mine has been going strong since I got it and I used it for a wedding a week ago. Did you try getting it replaced?
Thanks for the review. Was not familiar with this company. Ill be checking out your channel
Great company with great products and customer service!
terrible
👍🤍 thanks
Thanks for watching!
As clear as mud , keep it simple ,do it in photoshop is 100 times easier
Ai in Photoshop is definitely better!
That tool either was removed from Lightroom classic, does not work anymore or there are several more steps to the process. I watched the video several times and could not get any of your magic tricks to work on my end.
man you videos are amazing, they deserve millions of views
You have so much skill here. You should do really well in the long run.Your content looks good , your lighting and presentation and editing look great . You don't need any help with editing, as suggested by someone else below. Great B roll. Great body language. You look good. But you just need to smile, and be a bit more upbeat to convey confidence, so viewers can relax and trust you. And put some words on your thumbnails, as the thumbnail pics are great, but you have to work too hard to find out what they are about in competition with others. You might want to use more colour in them too, they are too dark - to stand out. You are so very close. You have so much great going on here. Nice professional presentation going on. Not that you asked for my opinion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Most small youtubers don't look as good as you.
Hey Lamenade. I appreciate and consider all feedback that is provided. I'm glad you mentioned the editing thing....i often feel my editing is lackluster so to hear you say those kind words mean a lot. I definitely agree about my thumbnails and smiling more lol! In fact, while filming this, I had to tell myself, "why are you being so professional? You need to stop!" lol.
Appreciate the transparency Marco! I was monetised a few years ago but I've been away from the platform for several years now. Just getting back into it and the watch hours are going to be a bit of a grind!
Welcome back! Do you have to go through the program again since you have been away?
@@marcoavaldez Yep! Got to qualify again haha
@@RyanGreen you got this, man! I believe in you.
these are good advices bro but saying getting 1k subscribers isn't that hard is a crazy statment
It really isn't! You just need to post valuable content. Things people are searching for. People who get into content creating don't often realize this and post whatever which is great but not if you're trying to grow.
Thanks Marco. As someone's who started their channel one Month ago I just subscribed. Great vid, and I'll support small creators. Keep going bro😎
Congrats on creating your channel!
@@marcoavaldez thanks🙏
@@marcoavaldez thanks🙏
great content! as a small youtuber myself this helps a lot, especially with all these big creators saying a lot of bu*lsh*it around of how much money you can make for views. kepp it up!
i'm sure they make big money but its not like that for all of us! We'll see what the future has in store.
I make reaction videos abd gaming videos on my channel do you this I'll be able to get monetized? Watched your other video btw.
I do believe so but you have to find a way to provide value in either entertainment or educational. Yours will definitely need to focus on entertainment and you can do that by story telling / having an objective.
@@marcoavaldez Thanks That Was Helpful
Hey Marco, Awesome video yet again! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos better than your Editor with good pricing & turnaround time and will also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your video to reach to a wider audience! Lmk what you think ?
Great video, brother! Loved how you kept it short. Could relate. 😌
Thanks for watching, Ezekiel! Time is valuable so i try to keep it as short as possible.
213 dollars ain't that bad
Right? I'm pretty happy with that! I can only imagine how much higher it can get if I continue going 🤔
😂😂😂🤣🤣
🤔
@@marcoavaldezits me bro
Great video man, hit the nail on the head! Pretty much went through the exact same thing! Either way, supplementary income is a super power in this day & age 💸
True! I'm happy with a few extra hundred dollars every month 😂. Definitely worth the effort we had to put in!
For this which is better photoshop or lightroom
Something simple, LR. Everything else Id recommend Photoshop with their AI feature.
@@marcoavaldez but if I’m not wrong we can do same thing with photoshop ryt. Its just that photoshop is not as simple as lightroom. Am I correct?
thank you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Glad it was helpful!
I forgot lightroom can automatically select just the skin, and then apply a preset. Great reminder. I appreciate the short format of your videos.
Thanks for watching and yes! It's neat that LR can do most of the work for us. Makes our life a little bit easier 🙏🏼
Hi! What is all it is doing is blurring the object? I can’t seem to figure out how to get rid of it. Pls help! Thanks!
It uses AI to try and fix it but honestly, Photoshop is a much better solution. Especially when they introduced AI. Highly recommend that.
@@marcoavaldez ohhhhh, okay. Thanks!
