This gentleman needs his own television show. The clarity about how he explains the most complex things is almost an art form. Let me go and get my kit lens and leave some of these expensive lens home🤣😎. Lol

[@harrison00xXx]

He is probably not that much wrong in some cases. I had for years a 18-55mm kit lens (the time before IS or STM was in them!), all the other lenses i had were prime macros, a telezoom and so... not really a lens which could replace the "standard" focal range of the kit. So despite having a few more expensive lenses, i often used only the kit lens because the other ones had more or less special cases i didnt need at this events. But looking behind - i guess its still (next to a fast, cheap 50mm prime) somehow needed at the point you know you like photography that you search as fast as possible for a kit lens replacement. Doesnt have to be any 24-70 L or so, but at least something with better IS and proper USM, bigger aperture (with probably more blades) and if possible better imaging quality than the kit. I personally still am looking (since nearly 10 years, lol) for a proper "universal" lens with a useful variety anywhere between 15-80mm and GOOD imaging quality, upgraded already twice (first to a 28-105 USM, then a 28-135 IS USM) but these lenses are barely better than the kit lens (when it comes to image quality, anything else is "superior" like superfast AF, more zoom, bigger aperture, etc)

[@patrickhenryjolly]

Agree! I'm setting aside my others for now and digging the kit lens out.

[@kendramanuel968]

He has a photography course online. It’s $19 a month. I’m taking it

[@allthingslavel293]

Agree. I took his course and was blown away by the quality of the course his mastery.

[@dewindoethdwl2798]

Nice to see someone not telling the beginner to invest in lenses but to improve by investing in taking images to build experience & understanding. Clarity of explanation, even after 30yrs of semi-pro photography I felt I understood stuff even better!!

[@waltervanlille2263]

I watched a video by a very famous photographer recently where he was asked about portraiture for beginner photographers, and he used a 100mm 1.8 lens in his explanation. The only thing I thought throughout the video was: what new photographer is going to own that lens right off the bat? Your video is much more sensible, and it deserves more views.

[@theplacewhereucanfindmytra3691]

I agree, I just got my nikon d3400 and been watching videos all over KZbin for like an intro for beginners and THIS IS THE MOST USEFUL AND INFORMATIVE ONE.

[@UltraNyan]

100mm will be a great lens for a beginner who wants to get into stalking

I just wanna say that your coolness and unhurried demeanor is really helping me understand all these photographic jargon and truly inspiring me to venture more and more into photography.

[@MrVivasvictor]

Good explanations about basics I learn with my first camera 40 years ago, a TLR Rolleiflex 1937 and you know, some basics will never change no matter if you use film or digital cameras. And beautiful towns and places in a country I love (Mexico).Congrats good videos.

[@jazzman1626]

A Rolleiflex is a cracker of a camera. I had a Yashica 635 TLR which had an adaptor to allow 35mm film to be used as well as the 6X6. I even tried using a polarising filter on it which is a bit complicated 😂. Then there’s the first time I tried to take a photo of a moving subject and seeing it disappear 😂😂. I love their whisper quiet leaf shutters and the shutter buttons so light and easy to press that camera shake is reduced. They draw a fair bit of attention too.

[@artemisasimetra]

You are a good teacher! I like the way you explain.

[@MichaelWTurner]

Great advice. I've always been amazed by the quality out of some kit lenses. I've gotten some really great long exposure shots at night with my canon 18-135mm. They were cityscapes

I'm very happy since I discovered your KZbin channel and great videos. I got a Panasonic lumix dmc fz50 as a gift and had no clue how to use it. After using a simple Nikon COOLPIX for years I was left in a total blur. Since I learn from you my camera isn't on Auto mode and became my best partner during outdoor shootings.It's really fun to apply what I learned. Thanks for making things simpler. 🙂

During this quarantine is good to hear your voice. On top, a realistic approach to investing is new lens. First walk, then run. I notice that Canon is your choice, I've just bought a new Sony A7III, perfect pictures but lack of that creativity touch Canon brings in my opinion.
