Hello DigitalRetro. I shoots cooking videos in the kitchen. Is the RF 24mm suitable for this?

[@DigitalRetro]

Sure. Especially if you own the full frame body it will give you some wider FOV for the macro and talking head shots. I think it's a great lens for food videos and photography!

Great video! ❤

[@DigitalRetro]

Thank you 🙏

Is there a reason why you picked r50 over the r10 or r7 😮

[@DigitalRetro]

Well I needed a cheaper 4k video camera, with mic port and reasonalbe photography capabilities(+the tilt screen as a bonus). The R50 was a first choice because of the price-to-quality ratio you get and since I use the full frame cameras for most of the time, it wasn't worth to pay the extra 200$ for R10 or double the price for R7(I think the RP is a better choice because it's FF and you can get it with 35 1.8 for the price of R7 due to CB and recent promotions). I think R50 is a great value. Sure, if I had some free extra bucks I'd probably get the R10, but I'm really happy with R50 for the things I use it for.

Woah! Some of the clips look like a full frame man! Also sharp, but "cinematic" at the same time! Did you use some filters?

@@photobeard4505 all R50 material was shot without any diffusion filters. I just use a protective filter on the lens 📷

YT just recommended me this because I've been watching a lot of videos about the R10 (would be my first camera). That's a very cool video, bro. Also I found it useful to get a better look at how things look with 24mm on a crop sensor. Would you recommed 24, 35 or 50mm for a versatile portrait lens (indoors or outdoors), considering the crop magnification?

[@DigitalRetro]

Thanks for the feedback mate!- always good to know how people find my vids. Since I'm all out 35mm shooter with the FF, I am a fan of 23/24 mm lens for crop sensors - however for typical portrait lens for aps-c. I'd probably choose the 35mm. It's a nifty fifty equivalent and will get you better bokeh for close up shots and will be usable in many indoor situations, where the 50mm(85 on FF) would probalby be too tight. On the other hand if you like environmental ports - the 24 would be better. But, yeah, for the sweet spot - 35mm is probably the best. Cheers!

@@DigitalRetro that's exactly what I want: a reliable lens for portraits with good looking bokeh, while for other purposes the kit lens will have to do for a while. So I'm probably getting the 35mm to have a nifty fifty. Thank you very much, brother!
