Goodbye Quick Tip Tuesdays! Still looking forward to more tips & tutorials - some of them really were exactly what we needed as we started shooting our episodes so thanks for that! And if anyone will be wondering, we're shooting with a Tokina 11-20mm f/2.8 lens on our main camera and the b-roll shots are made with a Canon 50mm f/1.8.
Hello! The first video I watched from your channel was the photography basics in 10mins and absolutely loved it. I really want to get into photography but didn’t know where to start and somehow get overwhelmed with all the camera and lenses choices so your videos have been really helpful! Thank you!
Love that PJ! Any questions you have, send them my way!
Same here. I’m so glad to have found this channel!
Love your content! The way you explain things is always easy to follow and informative. This is such an under rated channel, keep up the good work.
Exactly the video I needed, thank you! Keep up the awesome work!
This is the episode I’ve been waiting on! I just made the switch to full frame, and I’m in the middle of rebuilding my lens collection 🤙. Great video bro
Thank you, David. Your communication style is understandable, even for beginners like me.
Love the energy in your videos.
I'm now mortgaging my home to buy a few of these.
Love the different road maps. My switch to a full frame brought new lenses. My ultra wide arrived yesterday and I am looking forward to playing around with it. Next up is the 70-200/f2.8. I really need to save my pennies for that one.
@David Manning. This is an awesome video thanks for your help! Your explanations are clear and inviting, comprehensive but also easy to understand, wish more TH-camrs do this! Have a great day :)
Thanks! So stoked it was helpful!
This is great!
Great video! I took notes in case I will buy a camera someday. :X
Thank you!
Hey Dave 🙋♂️.... Looking forward for your next premiere pro quick tips video ❤️
I live on the 2 Sigma ART lenses. The 18-35 and the 24-70. Perfect combo for all my documentary work.
Street and Architecture photographer here. I love your route, and I found good reasons for them.
For where I live in, a lot of places I walk around with are tight spaces that even 35mm is too close that I back up a whole lot. Since I use a Canon crop sensor camera, I would use a 24mm f/2.8 for it's ergonomics (doesn't look scary to random subjects) and focal length that works the best for me. I invest on 10-22mm onward for both Architecture and some creativity with that ultrawide perspective. I had one time bought a 70-200mm f/4 for some specific occasions like sport events but I barely use it due to its size and less opportunities to grab shots with, but is pretty handy to have. I am planning to get an ef-s 15-85mm for its amazing price to performance ratio, for when I got to other events in my area. It surprises me that I have never thought of using 24-70mm full frame equivalent zooms, considering how evidently useful one is.
They are all my favorite. Gotta have them all! LOL.
The whole video felt like you were playing a shell game with the lenses... I kept waiting for the magic trick.. lol... Great insights,, 👍📸
Great episodes on lens choice, with this episode and the episode about why 24-70 is the go-to lens, a question though. What lens or camera do you bring on a family vacation? You don't always want to be carrying a large lens around and almost certainly don't want to carry multiple lenses, would you still choose the 24-70mm lens?
Event photographer here, I use for about 90% of my shots 24-70mm 2.8, on second body I currently have 70-200mm 2.8, I also used to own 35mm 1.8, 50mm 1.8 and 85mm 1.8 I found I would use the 85mm on rare occasions when I had portrait shoots which I do when I have too, I do it mainly for repeating clients because mainly my passion is weddings and events. I almost never used the 35mm, it mainly was used if I was in extreme low light situations and needed the extra light coming in. Lens I never used was the 50mm, I found it to be not wide enough for most of what I did and not close enough for portrait, also compression isn't as good as the 85mm is for portraits. So now I am moving from Nikon to Sony so I sold off all my primes and I kept the bare minimum which is the 24-70mm and 70-200mm, I bought the Sigma 24-70mm 2.8 and just ordered the Tamron 70-180mm 2.8. I ordered the Tamron and not the Sony 70-200mm 2.8 mainly because its just so huge and heavy, the Tamron is far smaller and lighter which is just a blessing in a 12hrs+ event day and being cheaper was a nice bonus but not the main reason I got it. Will add 3 more lenses in time, 24mm 1.8 for back up just in case something happened to my Sigma, 85mm 1.8 for portraits and a macro lens. I never buy an f1.4 lens because they are so big and heavy, I will never shoot them at f1.4 anyways. For event practicality is key!!! Also will not buy a wider lens then 24mm, had 12-24mm lens at the past, used this lens maybe 3 times the entire times I had it, dont find the need to shoot this wide and if I do I can always rent one.
I think you're absolutely on the right track Eshel! For event photography, the 24-70 and 70-200 are absolutely the way to go in my mind!
I prefer a 24-105 F4 over the 24-70 f2.8
I've ran one for about a year on a crop body and I like the range especially as a walking around lens a lot more
I don't need the extra stop of light and if I'm after it or separating subjects it is time to grab a 1.4 or 1.8 prime
Very nice lenses David! The Sony A6400 that I have came with an 18mm to 135mm lens as a kit from Amazon and wanted to ask you what is best for that lens? As in what type of application is best. I am new to photography with this mirrorless camera but I am a fast learner plus I watch all of your videos and you give good teachings. Great videos buddy!!
fantastic
Would love to see more lense test. Could you do a video ab the Tamron 24-200mm F2.8-5.6, I am very intrested in this lense for traveling or even an allwayson lense. Im just starting my new hobby. Greets
Nicely explained. I always Watch this type of video, although I Don't have camera. 😐
Nice video loved the content
From India
Cool water bottle 👍
Thanks Unlazy Guy!
Great video have you done a budget lens kit?
No, but that's a great idea!
I LOVE QUICK TIP TUESDAYS
I just ordered a 50mm f/1.7. I did not have one. I've heard it's good to have for video. Also been called the "Nifty Fifty"
Thank you David. I have a Nikon camera so could you post the equivalent amazon links for Nikon lenses. Also, just curious why you prefer using sony
great video and love your content. i mostly shoot my 2 young boys running around inside the house. I feel like a zoom, i'm a canon guy, so my choices are 28-70/2, 24-105/4 or 24-105/2.8. I love shallow dof and bokeh everything so i have a 85mm 1.2 but when i shoot my boys staggered about 1/2 body, i'm usually at f 5.6 or higher. I had some pro family shots and she used 70-200 and shot at f 5.6 and higher. first world problems, i'm trying to decide which normal zoom to go with, any suggestions or comments would be apperciated. i'm leaning towards the 28-70/2.0 but eyeing the 24-105/4 for the weight and possibly doubling as a travel lens
Great vid as always man. What focal length do you film your studio vids at? 35mm?
Also, no more Quick Tip Tuesdays? :-(
You are right I will like this video.....once I get to an area I can watch this I will (on family vacation lol)
Well that is exactly what I would do for sure. I have no issues with the 55mm 1.8, I love that lens. Wide lens is a must for video for me. For video you would just have 16-35 & 24-70 and be golden, but primes are nice. I love the 24mm 1.4 I still want it
Do you have any recommendations for wildlife and landscape lenses?
Question for you! If I have a Sony a7iii that came with the 28-70mm, do you still recommend the 24-70mm as my next lens? Is it that much better with the lower f stop? I’m going to Scotland soon and want the next best lens for beautiful landscapes!!
Hi, thanks, for the video, does it make sense to buy the 50mm 1.8G if I already have a 17-50mm 2.8? will be there any differences with the sigma at 50mm f2.8 and the 50mm at f2.8?
Hey David which mirrorless camera is better
Nikkon, Cannon or Sony??
You should do a studio tour!
What would you do for street photography kit?
Hoping for the lightroom tutorial asap...
I have have most of those lenses on MFT, i was thinking of taking the plunge to FF... but that is ALOT of weight, volume and mula... I’m keeping my G9
Hi David. Was wondering if you can help answer few questions for me. I'm looking for a camera and lenses. I'm new to photography, still learning. Which camera and lenses would you recommend for me? I mostly take images of national parks/monuments, landscapes, outdoor scenery. So I'm looking for a lense that can accommodate different ranges of zoom capabilities while utilizing natural lighting. TIA!
I’m interested in doing food photography for work with a minor in portrait. What roadmap do you suggest?
I got a Sony A7i with no IBIS and FE 50mm F1.8 so should get this FE 20mm F1.8 Len? I am thinking of getting the A7iii vs A7riii vs A7rIV vs A7IV vs A7c with a SIGMA 100-400MM F5-6.3 DG OS C at the end next year? I want to do landscape, Wildlife, Astrophotography and shoot airplanes.
Hey! Do you recommend third party lenses like tamron or sigma?
Sigma for sure!
Sigma is good stuff
SIGMA 16MM
Sigma ART and Tamron G2 lenses are top notch.
I use a Tamron 24-70 f2.8 G2 & 70-200 f2.8 G2, no complaints with these two lenses from me so far.
As an armature photographer my set up cost me about $800 and I have a 15-45 f/6.2 or something and I'm realizing If I'm going to move forward with photography I prolly need some better lenses. However they are all so expensive, and the lenses on your table in this video are like $5,000+ dollars and I can't afford that rn. So if anyone reading these comments knows about a more cost effective way to upgrade some lenses I really need it💀. However this video was really helpful and I just wish I could actually afford 3 different lenses for a shoot lol.
What camera body would you start with on a budget if you want to shoot portraits and branding photography all things creamy bokeh shooting indoor and outdoor. I'd rather spend my money on the lense.
A7C all day🙌
im shooting wedding day too! can you make video about photoshop wedding tutorial? im new at this
I have the majority of these but I am struggling to find the need for a wide prime. Always appreciate your input David!
This video could also be titled:
-How to become a millionaire...if you are a billionaire Len$e$
Comment of the freaking century! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Haha 😂
Do you always buy your lens from the same company as your camera manufacturer? I.e. Sony, Nikon or Canon? Or are there 3rd parties that you feel are comparable? If so, could you do a video on which would be those companies and what to look for when purchasing one? I am an amateur photographer who is just starting to get my hands dirty with various lens.
Sometimes they're comparable, sometimes worse, and sometimes much better! For example the new sigma 35 1.4 has quite slower focus and more noticeable chromatic aberrations than the also just as new sony 35 1.4 g master which focuses quite faster, has less aberrations and it is smaller too!
But then the sigma 85mm 1.4 dg dn is smaller, faster focusing and sharper, than the holy expensive sony 85 1.4 g master! (Which David seems to have) so it truly depends tbh on the time of release, technological advances, and if the manufacturer just happens to struggle in the making of that exact lens you want... so search and inform yourself before purchasing! Usually i go with either sony lenses or sigma ones.
So which camera do you recommend to a beginner photographer
I have the 28-70 3.5-5.6 and the 40mm f2. Not sure where to go from here. I feel like I put myself in a weird spot with that 40mm f2. I shoot everything tbh, I feel like Im better at landscapes but was leaning towards an 85 so I can cover more vocal lengths vs directly replacing the kit lens I have. Thoughts?
85mm 1.4 or 70-200 f4
I have the Sony a6600 with the Sigma 16, 30 & 56mm f1.4, the Sigma 100-400, the Tamron 70-180 f2.8 and the Sony 85mm f1.8.. Do I need anymore lenses? 🤔
David manning: talks about epidemic sound
Also david: no music in the background
P.s.:pls do a quick tip on how you did the intro
Listen closely😉
@@DavidManningvlog umm tutorial? Maybe? I want to begin to make videos and post them on TH-cam and your intro is 🔥! Anyway great video!
Saw it, clicked fast!
Also, do you use UV filters to protect the front element from scratches??? Or you just trust your handles??
I do not use UV filters to protect the front element glass, but I do recommend it for people! Mainly, it's like insurance. You drop the lens or something hits the lens and breaks it, you can then just pop off the UV and on another. But there are issues with glare sometimes and moisture in changing environments. Your call on whether you want to risk it!
Thank you for your insight!!
@@rbw3000 I bought the sony zeiss, just regular glass filter (Its a bit pricey) the first day I got the 24-70GM. Its too expensive of a lens to risk any scratches. The lens is still as good as new almost 2yrs later
whens your favorite time of day to shoot?
wait David, I have the Canon 18-135mm and a lens hood, can u fit an ND filter with the lens hood on?
Some ND filters work with the lens hood on there, but most require that you take it off. Especially if you get a variable ND filter! Almost all variable ND filters are too big to use a hood with, but you kind of wouldn't want the hood anyways, because then you couldn't spin the VND very easily 👍
ez 200k subs by December 31 Dave
haha
what about the 24mm 1.4 GM llens?
Great point on the 24-105 f/4. Super solid addition and covers so much shooting. For canon shooters, that’s a great pairing with the RP to get a “semi affordable” setup to cover lots of use cases.
Looking for the Best Macro Lens for a Canon 7ti. Suggestions?
First?
Edit: DAVID MANNING YOUR AMAZING!!!
Could you do this for beginners?
Solid idea!!!
@@DavidManningvlog Thank you so much!! New subscriber!
Hi if I have a 50mm or 85mm would I need to purchase a 35mm ?
Yes. 24mm if you're more into real estate, landscapes etc rather than portraits.
just wow ttoo ggooooddd
How did you know I'm buying an actual camera this week...
Can you update this video?
Why did you switch from Canon to Sony?
That's what I'm wondering too because I just bought a Canon.
because sony betted on mirrorless cameras waaay before canon or nikon. Check his mirrorless vs dslr video.
Video starts at 3:28
I thought I was first... I think I'm actually about 19th 😶
Kit lenses are decent , and way cheaper
Events: no, that's not all you need. Get at least one 1.4 prime.
This is a very comprehensive video. Ok now it’s just to put my house up for sale.
Hahaa!!!🤣
You got your drone repaired or you’re buying a new one?
Wish you were still a Canon guy.
Sony master race
There must be 15,000$ of gear on that counter...
50th? :)
