- The best documentary lens- This is a loaded question that truthfully has no right answer, but in this video I will break down the lenses that I used for my award winning docuseries and how to chose the right lens for your documentary project. I go over prime and zoom lenses, Cinema lenses, focal length and depth of field.

Really solid video. Couldn’t agree more on going the SIGMA route. I’ve currently got four SIGMA lenses that I couldn’t live without. The 18-35mm f/1.8, 24-70mm f/2.8, 50mm f/1.4 and the 30mm f/1.4. All of these are absolutely brilliant. Canon L series are my other ‘go-to’ lenses. I’d LOVE the SIGMA versions of them at some point, but I’m more than happy to use Canon glass. 24-105mm f/4 is my most used lens currently and then these two sleepers make the magic happen. I use the 80-200mm f/2.8 and the 135mm f/2. And these are NUTS!!! I can’t believe the quality I’m able to capture with these…Especially the 135mm. That is quickly becoming one of my all time favorites. Takes extra work getting it dialed in, but once you’ve locked your focus on you can sit back and just admire the compression. Really is magical. Now I don’t see a lot of folks shooting video on a 135mm f/2 wide open, but man….It genuinely is a treat to see.
Content was on point. And I couldn’t agree more. Primes whenever possible, but it isn’t worth missing out on opportunities that a good zoom can easily handle.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks man!!!! I appreciate the support! Love the sigma lenses I’ve never used the 80-200 but I would love to try that out.
Dude SOUND advice! Thanks!
Solid tips all around!🔥 Sigma 24-70mm 2.8 is a beast🙌🏻 It'll be the first lens I'll buy when I upgrade into full-frame bodies
Very great straight to the point information 👍🏼
Great info! Thank you. I only use Sigma art as well I have the 24-70 f2.8 and 85 f1.4.
Thank you so much! I absolutely love the look of your documentary!
Thanks brother! It’s been a passion project I’ve been working on for the last 2.5 years
Top informations Alex 👍🏻 I have two zoom lenses and 3 prime lenses 🎥 it depends on the situation which one to use but for documentaries I won’t miss my 28 -135 mm 😀
Thank you my friend! Wow 28-135 sounds amazing!
Stuff looks amazing man!
Thanks David appreciate it brother
Great stuff once again man!! I'm all set up in my lenses now!
Thank you my brother!!!! I’ve been in Louisiana the last few days! Can’t wait to show you what I’ve been working on
@@Alexzarfatifilms can’t wait to see it brother!!!
Amazing video Alex . Can't wait to watch the docu series when it's out 👏🏾
your information helped me a lot!
Great video brother!!
Thanks Chad!
I got quite obsessive trying to read all about the lenses choices. I’m upgrading from a Sony mirrorless probably to FX9, and there’s always the question : should I go for something really expensive like Zeiss supreme prime, to go for sigma cine primes, or really zoom. But the zooms can be also super expensive like Fujinon that go for 40,000 for full frame
Absolutely right bro.
Thank you. Really helpful.
Keep it up. Great content
Thank you for the support 🤗
great video, thank you!
Glad you found it helpful Emil!
Curious what you think of the lens stabilization on the 24-70?
hey Alex, was looking around for a good starter mic to plug into the camera 3.5mm jack, what would you recommend.? Wireless of course, budged in the rage of 150-250 USD
That’s a really tough one man if I were you, I would save up and buy the road wireless lav mic set. I haven’t really tried anything in that price range except for shock and microphones and I’ll give you the same advice. I give to anyone that is save up your money and buy at least one good quality, lav, mic, or shotgun mic.
@@Alexzarfatifilms Totally agree, thanks that i will do.
Hello bro did you use a filter lens ?
I did not brother
