The EF mount is a good thing, you can adapt it to any camera 🤔

[@babourzainullah]

@@danielbeys honestly tho now days every lens is getting adapted to e mount so I don’t know how long people are gonna use EF mount

Nice video, not sure why you don't have more subs. I agree that most folks who are new to the hobby are seemingly very hung up over collecting the trinity. In most cases, just a good 24-70 equivalent would suffice for most amateurs (except those who are buying in for specific types of photography like birding, macros, or interior/ architecture). I only own the Fuji 18-55 XF kit lens that I bought as a bundle with my XT-20 back in the day along with my old CZJ Flektogon 35/2.4 & Sonnar 135/3.5 which I've used since the film era. The kit lens alone would cover almost everything I would shoot whilst travelling. I would say the only lens I'm really missing is an ultra wide (10mm or shorter) for those rare occasions when I want to fully capture an interior shot of a place of interest. The Flektogon is really just there because I like the contrast and dreamy bokeh (I use a Turbo with it so I can still use it as a 35mm FF effectively) - works great as purely just a single lens/ camera combo for general urban photography (the close MFD is great for food too). The Sonnar 135 works good for 'macro' style shoots or when I just need a tad more reach. With the additional crop factor (~200mm FF FOV w/o Turbo), it works even better at these tasks. If you find you're having issues with enunciation, you need to just slow down and speak a little slower. Speaking slower also helps if you find that others are having problems understanding what you're saying (due to language barriers or heavy accents etc.)

Appreciate all the knowledge. Thank you so much for a such lovely comment :) I am more than 100% agree with you. Now days people purchase items, lenses, cameras without knowing anything. If I could start off my whole rig from scratch I would definitely reconsider some of my purchases. I used to buy items hoping it will make a better cinematographer but I was so wrong. Now I am try to keep my rigs to minimal and find the best solution to work with what I have. Thanks again for your support! I will definitely work on speaking slower 😊

@@babourzainullah I think you're doing great. One thing to take note of, especially at the beginning of this video, is continuity error in editing the video. You had obviously took a second cut and it was very obvious in the transition where the keyboard and lenses moved on the table. If you're having to switch to a 2nd take, it might help to cut in a different angle or scene (or some transition frame) and then switching back to the original angle with a 2nd take so it's not obvious that the scene has changed slightly. I totally understand the feeling that you have - that perfecting the shot includes perfecting the gears behind it. IMO, while minimizing the amount of equipment does help when flying solo, it might be better worth your while to spend a little less on the main equipment and getting a 2nd/ backup camera setup (could be a decent smartphone or webcam etc.) for B-rolls that would help in the story telling and editing. What I see is probably that you're mainly working as a videographer and doing a great job as one but probably lacking the exposure to creative art direction requirements (e.g. film director or DoP). That's a good next step and if you can speak more with such folks in your line of work, perhaps they can impart more ideas or concepts of creative art direction so you'll be able to build up the techniques and style that best fits you.

[@babourzainullah]

@@BigBenAdv I really appreciate all the knowledge and the notes. I reviewed the first cut and after you mentioning it, I can definitely see how jarring of a cut it is. I will work on those mistakes and will try my best to make the videos more seamless with better transitions. I am trying to add another top down camera on my desk table to make the shots more interesting, so I can keep the story going. Thank you again for taking your time and helping me out :)

Been looking to get this to go with my 18-35. Great video & your work is so good!! You deserve a lot more subs. I’m from the GTA too

[@babourzainullah]

Thank you so much, appreciate the kind words 🙌🏼

[@feriak1975]

Great informative video, do you think this lens is good for shooting cooking videos I’m looking for a lens that can fit in Sony ZV e10 and able to shoot a 4k video of dinner plate from a meter away and at the same time be able to zoom in very close to show food ingredients. Your advise is much😊appreciated my friend

[@babourzainullah]

If it’s a video you are looking for I wouldn’t really recommend this specific lens. And that is because of two things, first one is the focus breathing is kind of bad for this lens. Second one is if you are using this lens with Sony ZV-E10 it might be really heavy on one side, and also very close to the subject. One meter away with 50 mm is very close. I personally would recommend 18-35 sigma f1.8 cuz you will have more room to work with especially if you are shooting 4K you can punch in digitally to a certain size. And minimal focus on 18-35 is much closer than 50-100, which will allow you to get those closer shots. But you will have to move your rig a bit. Anyways I think that was a lot, however I hope it was helpful 😁 Good luck 👍🏼

[@frank.arroyo]

Does the adapter aggvt quality

[@babourzainullah]

Sorry I didn’t quite get what are you trying to say

[@texelmicrorc]

I'm using the zv-e10 with the 7 artisans ef adapter and sigma 18-35. i love this lens so much i built a rig with custom cnc milled mount to support the camera and the lens. i am getting the 50-100 soon and can't wait to try it out! The sony gyro stabilization software works better and with less cropping than active stab or lens stab, so i don't miss it at all. Cheers!

[@babourzainullah]

You are gonna love it my man! I still haven't got to use the Gyro stabilization. Does is it actually work great right off the bat or do I have to learn a few tricks to make it look smooth and stable?

[@jaystechvue]

@@babourzainullah If you set the minimal crop ratio to anywhere between 90.3 and 95 will take out most if not all of the jitters. Just make sure that you have your marker ratio setting in camera at 1.85:1 to ensure the framing will be able to be cropped in Catalyst Browse and not lose any footage.

[@babourzainullah]

@@jaystechvue thank you so much man, I will try that out on my next shoot hopefully 😃

[@jaystechvue]

@@babourzainullah No problem. Glad to help!
