Based on your video I picked up Nifty Fifty for my Canon T7 and it is definitely a good choice for those who want to want to break away from the kit lens. I also got the Canon 24mm f2.8 and was very impressed with it. Obviously I’m not always going to use the widest aperture, but it’s good to have it. Keep up the great work!
Good video! My 50mm f/1.4 was one of first lenses. Since then I've added some of the top rated lenses like the RF 24-70mm f/2.8, but the nifty fifty is a classic and always in my camera bag.
Good video Paul, for those just starting out there's an overload of complicated information about, your explanation is simple & easy to understand, it's part of the learning process we've all been through learning the skill of Photography, keep up the good work.
My Rokinon 1.5 35mm manual focus is a fast lens, but shooting at the t-stop 1.5 have had a use for it yet. I usually in T-stop 2, 2.8, 4, the sharp pictures come from 5.6 and that's using my canon EOS 90D
The DOF is so thin at 1.5 that you will find it very hard to get focus. I have a TTArtisan 35mm f/1.4 manual focus lens. I use focus peaking on my canon M6 MK II to help get it right.
Awesome video and explained in a way that is easy to understand. That's why I love you. Love my Sony 50mm F/1.8, especially for portraits and low light scenes. Images are so sharp and no worry about noise.
I got an RF nifty fifty for Canon and only later discovered that it's actually a nifty eighty on APS-C sensors (oops). It's absolutely beautiful and I use it to take IR photos on an unconverted camera body, helps a lot there, but that was a frustrating beginner mistake. 80mm is a bit much a lot of the time when it's fixed. I'll end up with a full frame eventually 😹
Hi Paul, we missed your videos, it's good to have another helpful video again. I have fast lenses and slow lenses, my Fast Nifty Fifty, my 35mm F/1.8, and my 40mm F/2.8 and my slow lens is the 18-55mm Kit lens, all Nikon DSLR Lenses. Many thanks Paul for this video 😊
I just upgraded from my rebel7 to an 80d, (I know it’s still an old camera), I mostly shoot with my 17-55mm f2.8, despite it being damn heavy it takes pretty good pics in low light.
Hello, A bit of a digression but if you were to create a prototype of a new simple optomechanical lens, how would you go about it? The lens would have a salubrious impact on photography...
In a word, no. Certainly, fast lenses will give you the opportunity to produce fine images, but the lens itself has no control over the compositor ~ framing; exposure triad are only two elements - without those attributes & more, you might as well use a point & shoot camera.
You can't really be absolute about what is a 'fast lens', so your idea that a lens with an f-number of 2.8 or lower is somewhat wide of the mark. It's all relative to what would be the normal expectation. For a prime f/2.8 wouldn't normally be considered 'fast', but for a zoom it would. Nowadays f/1.8 is about the norm for a standard (50mm equiv) lens so couldn't really be 'fast'. For a 400mm prime lens f/2.8 would be very fast (and expensive). A 600mm f/4 is also 'fast'. What's 'fast' depends on what it is, like a 'fast' bus would probably have a lower top speed than a 'fast' car. Also, in terms of what you can do with it, the f-number for equally 'fast' (in terms of the quality of results you get for the same shutter speed or the DOF you can get for a given shutter speed and image quality) is different. If you use an f/2.8 lens on FF it's going to give you much the same results in those terms as would an f/1.8 on APS-C or f/1.4 on micro Four Thirds, or for that matter f/3.5 on a Fuji GFX.
@@DarrenGedye If I'd said it was wrong that would be contradictory. But I didn't. What I said is 'you can't really be absolute', which is quite consistent. One of the reasons you can't be absolute is that people have their own definitions.

Clear, precise and informative!! That's what it's all about. Great video Paul.
Glad you liked it, appreciate the feedback - thank you.

Another wonderful informative video thanks Paul
Another great video of course, but I have to point out how absolutely stunning your image at the 4:16 mark is! Beautiful!
Thank you very much, that is very kind.
Your videos are always so easy to follow; I wish you had a twin who lived in the south of the UK 😃
clear and simple. love it ❤
Thank you Darren, appreciate the feedback.
I mainly shoot astro, so fast primes are my absolute go-to every time.

Thank you Barry.
Great video Paul... Really enjoyed...
Lovely to see another informative video. I ❤my Nikon nifty 50 Thanks Paul.
You are very welcome 😃

@tonykeltsflorida no I do find it hard to focus I got the hang of and if I need I have mf pecking

Thanks for watching and for the kind feedback 👏
Great video Paul, I always learn something very useful from your videos. Looking forward to the next one. 😎👍
Awesome, thank you!
Paul, could you do a video on the different types of lens hoods and which hoods go on which lens? Thank you!
thanks Paul, I appreciate your explanations!
My pleasure, thanks for the feedback.
Great video! Thakns!

The Canon 50mm 1.8 is a GREAT lens. Fast at 1.8, and super sharp at 5.6 !!
It sure is! 😃
Thanks!!
You are very welcome.

No problem your very welcome Paul 😊

The 80D is a cracking camera, it was my daily go-to camera for a long time and still gets used occasionally. Thanks for watching.
@@photogenius definitely. Thanks for the knowledgeable content, helping me to improve my photography.
I have a Canon 7D and a Canon M50 with a Sigma 150-600 Cont, A canon 70-200 and a Canon 18-55 mm
Thank you Paul. 👍😎
You are so welcome, thanks for the watch.
Hi paul please we need to make tutorial how to use sekonic L-308X-U Flashmate light meter
Some more good tips Paul
Glad you enjoyed it Lyn, thank you.

Back atcha! ❤️
Do you have information on canon90d cameras
Hello, A bit of a digression but if you were to create a prototype of a new simple optomechanical lens, how would you go about it? The lens would have a salubrious impact on photography...
Lumix 25mm f 1.7 is a great inexpensive lens (mft)

I consider a prime fast only if it is f/2.0 or faster (excluding long telephoto lenses). For zooms constant f/2.8 is fast.
@@okaro6595It's not a formally defined term, so everyone is free to have their own definition - which makes it somewhat vague.
@@BobN54 so you're saying everyone can have their own definition, but the definition this video gives is wrong? Isn't that a bit contradictory?🤔

@@BobN54 it was actually your comment "your idea that a lens with an f-number of 2.8 or lower is somewhat wide of the mark" that caught my attention.
