- Best LENSES EVER! Camera Lens tutorial!
What lens to buy? Here's my opinion of lenses and cameras to buy for all price ranges:
devingraham.blogspot.com/2014/...
I've seen several comments/questions in regards to field of view with resolution. Here's my response to that:
In regards to field of view, in regards to changing resolution with the Canon 1DC from 1080P to 4K, while leaving the exact same lens on, switching to the higher resolution (4K), on the 1DC, your field of view does get smaller, no question about it. I'll do a video on it soon with video examples. I see the field of view get smaller every time I shoot in 4K with the 1DC. While filming with the RED, while switching from 4K to 6K, your field of view does the opposite, it gets larger (you see more on the left and right side of your image. While talking about this in the video, I was referring to the effect it has on the 1DC since I was talking about that camera at the time and holding it up, just wanted to clarify, I promise I wasn't making things up, and for whatever it's worth, I don't know the physics/theory behind it all :)
The Canon and Nikon 50mm F/1.8 lenses I recommended, you can find in the links below. We own the Canon one, and I used to own the Nikon one before I switched over to Canon.

I have below a list of all the equipment we use on most our shoots. They are direct links to Amazon, where we bought all the same equipment. These are affiliate links, so if you want to support us, and buy the item off the link, will make a little money off of it. Your not charged any extra, and it goes to supporting us, just wanted to make sure you knew ahead of time :) These are all products I stand by 100 percent regardless, and all products we use on a day to day basis. At the end of this list I'll have a link to a blog going into even more depth about the equipment we use.
Camera Equipment I Use:
Canon 5D Mark III (use for all our behind the scene videos):
amzn.to/1Xe3uL3
Devinsupertramp Signature Series Glidecam:
amzn.to/1UU9UjC
Rode VMPR VideoMic Pro (Mic we use for all audio for Behind The Scenes and Main Videos)
amzn.to/1R8xPMH
My Favorite Lenses in Order of used most:
Canon 16-35mm F/4 USM
amzn.to/1Xe3KtA
Canon 14mm F/2.8
amzn.to/1UUacqQ
Canon 70-200mm F/2.8 II
amzn.to/1UUaf5X
Canon 24mm F/1.4L II
amzn.to/1UUaj5S
Canon 50mm F/1.2
amzn.to/1Xe3XwT
For all our aerial shots, we use the DJI Inspire 1, with two controllers.
amzn.to/1UUauhl
We also use B+W circular polarizer. They get rid of the reflections from water, windows, and most plants/green things. We use them whenever the sun is out. When buying a polarizer make sure to get the right size for the lens that you own. I feel if your going to spend the money and buy an expensive lens, it's worth spending the extra money to buy a polarizer of the same quality to match your lens, otherwise your lens won't be as clear. Plan on spending about 130 dollars US for one.
Here's a couple different sizes for common lenses:
77mm.

This was very interesting man! Love seeing other people's gear. One quick thing I want to point out: You get a reduced field of view when you upgraded to 4K, not because it was 4K but because most likely the sensor size of the new camera was smaller.
+KriscoartProductions Hey, I am subscibed to you. You are awesome!
***** Thats awesome man! Great to find people from my channel here :)
+KriscoartProductions No I think the 1DC (I don't know about the RED) only uses a part of the sensor when filming in 4K because downsampling that takes too much processing power. The sensor size is the same: 35mm fullframe.
it's because lol Canon puts a crop factor on the 4k
Great series. Looking forward to more. Please continue to keep it as simple as possible - the way you always do. Very useful for anyone interested in contemporary movie making!
I agree with you!
I'll never understand why people feel like they have to say "I'm not getting paid to say this". You're an entertainer, and you deserve to make money off of this stuff! You work hard and provide us with great content that we don't even have to pay for. Nothing wrong with getting a paycheck out of it!
Thanks so much for these videos. Because we are doing filmmaking in homeschool, Matt watches these videos before we get to watching them. Really helpful, thanks for doing this video series. Jen
I appreciate this SO MUCH! I had a film class in high school that was a college course and they never answered these questions that I had. I have watched your videos for years, and have always wanted to do something like this. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experiences. I have waited so long for this series to be a thing!
The 4k part about cropping seems weird to me. Your camera had either a smaller sensor or it wasn't a full sensor read out which introduced cropping.
+L. Willis most red dragon cameras have smaller sensors than the FF 35mm sensors.
+L. Willis It's not the same with every camera. Some camera's have full sensor 4k so they don't crop the image. Plus he probably switched cropfactor as well. So the camera he uses now with 4k has a smaller sensor.
+L. Willis ya that was weird to me as well. its the exact opposite with my GH4 in 4k. when i goto 1080p i get a crop effect and shooting in 2160p its wider.
+sschulak07 No it's not.
Again... thank you for all the time and effort you are putting into these tutorials and educational videos. You make amazing quality products and I look forward to learning your techniques and tricks!
I've loved your videos for years, Devin. I am thrilled to see you doing tutorial-type videos. I LOVE my Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L lens! It's a great lens for most situations. It is pricey, but it's completely worth it. And I totally agree on the 50mm F/1.8 lens. It's on the cheaper end, but still great glass!
You answered several of the questions I have had about your lens choices for a long time. Thank you!!!
I love the paint/color on the walls and your room you are vlogging in, nice set-up! Also, thank you for the Canon lens review!!
very useful, can't wait to see the rest of the series!
I've been waiting for Tutorials like this.
Thank you Devin! :)
this was so helpful! I'm barely beginning to start videos and i'm enjoying it. I have a lot to work on but i'm having fun learning about it. :) thank you!
so glad you are doing these tutorials!!!! i absolutely love your work!!!
Thank you so much for making these tutorials, can't wait to watch the next one! It's really helpful. :)
I love the knowledge you're sharing Devin !
Already loving these tutorials!
LOL Omg the 800 mm on the glidecsm
Glidecam*
Thanks, this was very helpful! I'd love to learn tips about staying in focus
I started recently and I'm using Canon 100D with 18-135mm lens. I love this lens, it's great. The zoom is crucial for me, I really like to explore it first, then get a prime or another better quality zoom. 70-300L looks totally fantastic!
thanks to you Devin. I have my career now and I am super happy. I never finished Film school but I learned from your videos and all my clients are SUPER happy!!! love it! I was just learning mostly from bts videos myself. but its goo to watch those clear tutorials now too! thank you bro! appreciate you. hopefully one day I can meet you in person and say thank you and shake your hand. ps. I film mostly weddings right now and I make 3x more then what I used to make on my other job and I love what I do :)
Excellent and simple illustration. thanks alot
This is exactly what I've been looking for! If I love someone's photo or video I'll ask what lens they used and no one every answers - they're always like "I use the Canon 70D" and I'm like...cool..
+ObbsandLala If u currious to know, casey uses the 10 -18 mm which costs only 230. On apsc it is like the same as a 16-30 on full frame he mentioned at the beginning :)
+Levin Be thanks for telling, I was always interested in that
Roman Vaslyuk
Haha ur welcome :)
sigma's 18-35 is a pretty gorgeous lens that I have, it's my baby.
Thank you very much for the awesome and helpful tutorials you provide for us! Coolest guy in town!
thanks Devin! this helps me a lot with picking out lenses!
That crop factor explanation is completely wrong. The lenses field of view did not change because you switched to 4k, it switched because 5d mark 3 is a full frame camera and red dragon has a crop of 1,5x.
+ege ozsoy Well the factor is 1.38 but, they get the point.
+ege ozsoy Yeah, that's what I thought ! I wonder if he knows he is wrong or if he really think that's how it works. :D
+ege ozsoy Ok it is not only me to see something is wrong
Antoine Lavenant That is exactly what i am worried about :D
+ege ozsoy In regards to field of view, in regards to changing resolution with the Canon 1DC from 1080P to 4K, while leaving the exact same lens on, switching to the higher resolution (4K), on the 1DC, your field of view does get smaller, no question about it. I'll do a video on it soon with video examples. I see the field of view get smaller every time I shoot in 4K with the 1DC. While filming with the RED, while switching from 4K to 6K, your field of view does the opposite, it gets larger (you see more on the left and right side of your image.

thank you for the awesome video. learned more stuff than i have learned in a year from google searches. please do more and keep the positivity going. (i only use iPhone to make my videos, yet) :)
Respect Devin! Thanks for sharing knowledge! I would like to see an episode about focusing manual/auto, what is your way to do it in the incredible action scenes you are doing. Thanks!
When it comes to resolution and how 'wide your sensor sees', I think you mean a completely different sensor size, as the 5D mark x (2, 3, S, SR) cameras shoot 1080p in full frame when high end cinema cameras like your RED has a Dragon sensor which is only Super35. It can be a bit misleading to certain people as there are full frame cameras that do 4K (A7S, A7SII, A7RII with line skipping and the new 1DX-II), without the crop. Just wanted to clarify things up a little. Really enjoying these tutorials and your usual videos btw, keep up the good work! :)
Dude awesome content!! I've been with you since the beginning and it's great to see daily content especially content full of knowledge! :D Love your videos!
BTW what microphone are you using in this video? I can't get rid of the echo in my room seems just like mine but without that echo....
Loving these videos!
Nice! I love prime lenses! I shoot with canon 24mm prime lense, first one I bought and it's amazing!
Great Video! Another really great lens that I use all the time is the Canon 17-40mm. It's only a F4 L series lens but it has really nice quality and is several hundred dollars cheaper.
Love these tutorials!
cant wait to see your camera setting. 😀 Pic style, and more...
Very helpful video. Thanks dude!
Amazing! ..great series looking forward for more to learn ;)
Thanks for doing this!!! Helps me a lot
Devin thanks for these tutorials meng
Can you make a video about the glidecam, maybe different models for different budgets? Also interested in learning about what focusing modes you use and what apertures you shoot at when you're glidecaming/moving around. Great stuff thank you!
good to learn Devin....
u r my mentor....
thnk's for the tutorial
Thumbs up for the Canon 50mm f/1.8! I use it all the time and it truly is the most cost effective lens out there! Definitely recommend it
Dae Productions15 +1
I just ordered a lens because of this video.... not through the amazon links though
It might be worth noting that a 16-35mm lens on an APS-C sensor (Canon 7D, 70D) equals to 25-56mm on a fullformat camera due to the 1.6x cropping. 2x cropping if you happen to have a micro-fourthirds sensor. So I would personally recommend to go for a 11-16mm or something similar if you have a non-fullformat camera.
You are amazing Devin!
Are you coming to India anytime. I would like to work with you and your team.
I would be a great learning experience.
Thanks a lot for this tutorials!
Love the tuts dude
I love these tutorial video's !!!
Hey these videos are great, but I just wanted to point something out. Shooting in 4k has nothing to do with the angle of view you are getting from a camera. When you were shooting with 5d's you were shooting on a full frame sensor and even if that was shooting in 4k with full sensor read out like most cameras do you would still be shooting on a full frame sensor and thus be getting the same field of view as 1080p. The reason why you were getting less wide shots when you switched to 4k is because you went to a red camera which has a super 35mm sensor which has about 1.5x crop factor in comparison to a fullframe camera so, your shots were 1.5x less wide.
+Mike Anastasio Thanks Mike, because I asked the same question because the angle has only to do with sensor size, not with resolution, so I didn't get his issues with switching from full-HD to 4K.
+TheApp9 yeah another reason why he might think that all 4K is cropped is because he also shot on a 1dc which has a full frame sensor, but I am pretty sure it has to crop to super 35 to shoot 4K because the sensor wasn't capable of full sensor readout in 4K for some reason. That does not mean that al 4K cameras do that though. The a7sii and a7rii for example can shoot full sensor on full frame in 4K.
Same for original a7s and a7r?
Original a7r can't shoot 4k at all and original a7s can only do so with an external recorder but if you were using an external recorder then it is the full fullframe sensor 4k.
Mike Anastasio Gotcha, thanks!
Thanks fo all the tips i learn alot now !
Great video! would like to see you talk about editing and editing to music
This was really helpful!
so the 16 to 35 is a wide angle lens? do you then shoot a high number apperture so everything is in focus on your action sports shots?
verry happy to see you do tutorials your actually the first to learn me that mutch in this short amunt of time because i also want to shoot action sports.
cheers and keep it up!
Loving these videos! Is it possible to like the video more than one time? haha
Will you be doing some giveaways of lenses or cameras? Would be cool
Anyway, love the content, keep it up! (good that you go straight to the point)
Good Job devin!
a7sII is 4K and still full frame. The Red Dragon is 6k but super 35 (1.5X crop). Its a smaller sensor with more pixels.
Thanks, Devin!!
Canon TS-E 24mm is my all time fave!
Hah, since I read your Blogpost years ago, I spend for the Canon EF 16-35mm 1:2,8 L II. It was really worth it. I Love the quality together witch my 5D.
My second Cam is the Rebel t3i, which is also my first camera with a Tokina SD 12-24 F4.
great insight, thanks bro!
I just got the Canon F1.8 STM lend a week ago, it was an amazing purchase!
+Brady Watson I have the 50mm 1.8 non-stm. Still a great lens, and cheap!
+Sam Wallace ikr. its pretty awesome
Using a Canon 750D with a 50mm lens (as the one in this video) I love it.
great information.Thank you
These videos are mind blowing! Also can you explain how to do music editing epic, like when you do those clips, you have some person in the background screaming, do you edit that it or?
+Jollie Vlogs Consider it done :)
Many thanks guys!!!
great review . thank you!
You'll only see the difference in cheep vs expensive glass when your doing things like shooting light directly into the lens(flaring) or using it wide open or going from end to end zoom, but it's still barely noticeable at that point.
So what Devin is recommending for camera and lenses is quite good for people with around $7.5K-10K in their pockets, but for there are not many people with that kind of money to spend or just rather not spend so much. Many of those who already made the investment in a Canon 6ti or 70d or any not full frame are not gonna look to spend so much on lenses, I know I did. So for those interested in getting similar stuff on much lower price you can look for the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 for wide lens, the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 or the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 for mid range, and the Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 for zoom range all for around $1.5K. They may not give such an image quality of the canon lenses, but they will do quite well and you won't break the bank. I've been using those lenses for the past few years and they give great results
+EduarFilms or just get a pana g7 with a couple of mft lenses, way way cheaper, with 4k, 60fps etc etc.
You do realize that he just talks about the stuff he has and he has used, right?
Yeah you are right, I was just trying to point out the fact that I think for many people who can't afford this type of stuff can get cheaper things if they want to have similar equipment at least in terms of lens options.
Gonçalo Norberto I don't know how good that one is in low light, usually MFT cameras are worse in low light than Crop sensor cameras, in the case to switch camera brand then I think a Sony a6300 is better choice with a canon lens adapter
+EduarFilms I know, but actually the G7 is better than the GH4 in low light.
The reason I pointed the g7 is that the MFT line (lenses acessories etc) is very cheap, and the IQ is superior to any canon DSLR in the market right now.
Canon announced the 80D which has almost no differences from the 70D (does 60fps 1080, has a few more focus points and has headphone jack) for 1300$.
But not all people have 1300$ to spend on a body.
The 70-200 2.8 is an absolute beaut of a lens. And the 16-35 F4 is the next thing I'm buying, gonna be a massive upgrade from my kit lens.
I can't say I like the 50mm as a beginner lens, used one a lot, and as its an 80mm equivalent on an APS-C camera, its just too long. For beginners using APS-C cameras, also take a look at the 24mm 2.8 STM lens, its also really cheap, and much wider. For wide stuff (glidecamming etc) on APS-C, take a look at the EF-S 10-18 STM, its a 16-29mm equivalent. And if you have a bit more money, the Sigma 18-35 1.8 is an incredible lens for APS-C.
800mm on a Glidecam? looks like a rocketlauncher:D
Acoording to the Scene at 1:45
awesome tutorial(s) =) do you prefer 50mm or 35mm f1.8 because you told (i think) to use a wideangle lens filming with glidecam...and 35mm is more wide than 55mm ^^
Thank you for this video :)
I`ve been following you since you started and I`m so glad that you start this "tutorial program". I`m so passionate about image, about filmming and movement and I`m struggling for years to do something, but like the most of the people I don`t have money to invest :), but I did invest a little bit(cause I can`t live whitout) so all I need to do is just go out there and shoot! Now I have problem whit my "glidecam" cause is quiet hard for a woman to play whit, but I will not give-up, cause I pay for it :)), noooo, cause I`m crazy to do this! Thx so much for doing this and sharing this whit us! You are an inspiration to many of us!!! Sorry for my english, all the best :)
I am also following Devin since his Bike in the lake Video. :) I watched your park video. It is not so smooth couse of your lens. 50mm (+ 1,6 crop factor) thats more than 75mm. I am using the glidecam for more than two years and I wouldn't get smooth shots wirh that camera setting. In my opinion you get the best results, with 20mm to 25mm. Specially for starting. :)
Thx for the answer :*I Like your videos, looks smooth! I need to buy a wider lens :)
Thx, but don't forget the crop factor if you buy a new lens. On my Canon t3i I have a Tokina SD 12-24 F4. It works very fine for me
+Bernhard Monsignore Yes I was thinking on tokina 11-16mm 2.8 ;)
Damn i startet with the same lenses. :D
16-35mm, 50mm 1.4 and the 70-200mm f2,8 l ii usm
nice to see that you startet with the same lenses as me. :)
Thank you so much for these Videos!
Question - Do you use any cinema lenses in your kit, such as those with de-clicked aperture rings? I am just starting out as well and am wondering if, in your opinion, they are worth the extra cash.
+Danial McCoy I hope to one day. Cinema lenses generally are much heavier, which makes it extremely hard to handle the Red camera, heavy lens, and glidecam while filming in our style. One day I hope to use cinema lenses though.
+devingraham I shoot on the Red Epic with Arri Master primes. Those lenses are extraordinary! Really something worth investing your money on, but I see how it will hard handeling on a glidecam.
Btw. keep up the good work!
+sebastian sandnes Very interesting ! Did you try RED cine prime lenses? Did you notice heavy differences ?
Devin the RED body+battery+side handle+glidecam+lense (even a canon) are crazy heavy ! Ok you start the first 10 min ok but you finish your day without feeling you harms anymore and with pains on your back. Respect Devin, you're hell of a athlete :-)
You are funny, Your Arri are 18k-50k per lens upwards vs 2-3k or less for what are being used here.
Thank you for this !
4K can be fullframe. For example, the A7S i and ii, and the A7Rii (though it's not a full pixel readout), so that 16-35 will be great on those cams (it's my lens of choice for most stuff as well, good call).
The Canon 11-24 is amazing as a replacement on a crop sensor like the RED and the Sony''s, but it's hella pricey. A good cheap alternative is the Tokina 11-16mm which is super sharp but has the suckiest focus wheel ever made. Swings and Roundabouts.
thanks Devin 😃
To add to this, one thing thats important to point out (That i'm sure you'll cover in another video), is that the lower that number goes (aperture), the more bokeh you get because more light is coming through. So not only does the lower number make it better in low light, it also makes the background more blurry. =)
Thx for this video men ☺️👍
I actually love using the 70-200mm on my "devinsupertramp glidecam" love the parallax feel it creates.
+David Niedbala that's something I can't even pull off, can't get it smooth zooming in at 200 while running, so I'll have to see how you pull it off.
+devingraham I can't do it running. haha just walking a couple feet. I'll tag you in a video on your facebook fan group with some footage.
Red have Super 35 sensor and since 5D got full frame so that is clear that Red makes every lens more tele.
Love your videos
I currently have a 24-70 2.8 and a 70-200 2.8 and I need an ultra wide. I do real estate photography as well as starting out with cinematography. Would you suggest getting an ultra wide zoom such as the 16-35? Or a fixed lens such as a 14mm? I'm honestly torn between the two options. Versatility vs (possibly) cheaper price and the prime quality.
Hi Devin! I have a Nikon D5100 , do you think I should switch to a canon camera? I like shooting videos and taking pictures.
Most people will be starting out on an apsc sized censor and in that case all the lenses you mentioned would be cropped in f stop focal length and optical resolution so they would pay for something they won't get. If you have an apsc censor like a conon 60d 70d 80d 7d etc but a lens ment for an apsc censor
What would be best for taking selfies, and also taking professional looking photos on cars?
Sensor resolution is independent of sensor size. I have 4k in my phone and that sensor is the size of a gnats butt.
14mm is 14mm on all sensors. The only thing that changes is the FOV or perceived focal length depending on the crop factor.
+trevorpinnocky In regards to field of view, in regards to changing resolution with the Canon 1DC from 1080P to 4K, while leaving the exact same lens on, switching to the higher resolution (4K), on the 1DC, your field of view does get smaller, no question about it. I'll do a video on it soon with video examples. I see the field of view get smaller every time I shoot in 4K with the 1DC. While filming with the RED, while switching from 4K to 6K, your field of view does the opposite, it gets larger (you see more on the left and right side of your image. While talking about this in the video, I was referring to the effect it has on the 1DC since I was talking about that camera at the time and holding it up, just wanted to clarify, I promise I wasn't making things up, and for whatever it's worth, I don't know the physics/theory behind it all :)
love these
Glidecam!!!
Nice video btw.
i have the 16-35 f/2.8 and 70-200 f/2.8, they are by far my favorite lenses i have ever owned! i also have a tamron 28-300, but it looks terrible in comparison the canon L series and autofocus is super slow. i only wish the 16-35 was sharper in the corners.
+HeathFX I use a Sigma 16-35mm 1.8ART lens. Fantastic!
+Richard van Schalkwyk crop sensor only
I love the 50mm lens ❤
hi devin , would like to know what would be your choice for over all shooting including weddings , canon 24-70 f2.8 or 24-105 f4
I'm so jealous looking at all your gear!
Nice video bro
thank you for the video !!! :)
loving filmaking trips
Hi, I am new to the bisness of making videos , and maybe it's a silly question, but how do you do to take video and do all your focus shots ?
So, how do you keep such sharp focus on your subject while you are moving around? I find it very difficult to do, especially in low light situations.
I need an advice from you. Means what will be the best wide angle lens for cinematic music video and also which has best image stabilization. I use Canon 70D
