you do that bro! I have an sl2 as well and I had been using kit lenses on borrowed camera (and my own sl2) for 2 years until I recently bought myself a Sigma 17-50. just rock with the 18-55, it's better than what you believe!

[@un-nameduser8779]

I have an SL2 and if u want a new better lense I would get the canon 50mm f1.8 because of the crop factor on the camera it acts more like an 85mm but it's still cheap and the f1.8 makes ur photos look super creamy

[@ClarkDroneFilms]

JaxFox get a 70-300 f4-5.6. higher focal range than the one in the video but depending on image stabalisation, price and optics it won’t be very sharp. i recomend the sigma 70-300 DG macro as a first telephoto

[@TheLtData]

If you really want to start taking better pictures don't just focus on lenses: it's the picture that sells. Learn to look for the right moment and make sure you know what settings reproduce that moment on film. Take notes and rethink what you did and must do better next time. Good lenses don't taken good pictures: good photographers do. These lenses are very good but only in the hands of somebody who knows what he's doing. Remember: practise makes perfect!

Levitation It’s a good investment. But at some point in my opinion, you have to know that you already have quality equipment. I know many ppl that sell their equipment to buy newer month after month. It becomes a major distraction from actually creating content

[@JonathanThompsonStoryteller]

I was always into photography, since I was 7 and got my first camera. But when I came to taking up my photography to the pro level I got all caught up in what lens, who’s using what, maybe this or that. If I’d only gone for these three I would have had a solid foundation. I did go with the 70-200 then a bunch of primes and a monster 28-300 pump action bazooka. Made so many bad choices with my lenses and other kit too. No matter what you’re going to shoot, the Holy Trinity will be able to get you the shots you need, by and large. I have now got the 24-70 f4 with IS because the 2.8’s don’t have IS. I tend to shoot it f4-6.3 so I don’t need the 2.8, except for when I do. That’s the thing with photography, there’s always another piece of kit that’ll work better for a particular scenario. Beyond the Holy Trinity you need to know what you’re shooting to decide what kit you need. Decide on a budget, stick to it and get the best kit you can. Investing in good lenses is always better than a new camera.

[@andredo4880]

Do you think its better to buy ef 24-70 f4 or rf 24-105 f4?

[@JonathanThompsonStoryteller]

@@andredo4880 that would depend on what you’re shooting and the environment too. The mk2 version of the EF 24-105 is much improved on the old one which is a bit of a dog really. It depends if you use the range between 70 & 105. Or perhaps the 24-70 is good for your zoom then jump straight to the 100 macro which is what I do. If you’re shooting some video the extra focal length of the 24-105 might be useful. Again it all depends on what & how you shoot

[@andredo4880]

@@JonathanThompsonStoryteller i usually use rf 70-200 f4 and its great but i want something wider and probably lighter. 24-105 would be good but i'm also thinking about ef 16-35 f4 or rf 35 🤷 I like zoom lenses cause they are all purpose.

I got into photography before I had kids, so I started with the 24-70 and 70-200, both L series and f2.8 and they were brilliant investments. 15 years later, lots of wedding and portraits and family photos later, I’ve only needed one diaphragm replacement on the 24-70. Otherwise, no problems. I added the 17-40 f4 later, and a 1.4x converter (should’ve gone the 2x) and it all fits in a backpack, along with a flash, camera body obviously, and battery charger. Yes it was expensive but good quality gear will literally last for decades if looked after, and the image quality is undeniable. It’s worth saving up for, if your circumstances allow.

85mm 1.4 GM, 50mm 1.4 Zeiss, 24mm 1.4 GM... Holy Trinity from Sony for me.

[@alk327]

Shyne On Sites I have a 35mm want the 85gm and the 24gm...wondering if 24mm will serve a purpose over the 35mm...I shoot everything from portraits to landscapes...AlKre89 IG

[@ColinDougan]

@@alk327 the 24mm is great for Landscape for sure, 35mm is the "beginning" of cinematic framing for people - they can both serve a purpose :)

[@FirstNameLastName-sf6zg]

I currently just have enough cash for one new lens. I am stuck on the 24, or 35, or 85. I shoot mostly portraits. It's a hard choice.

[@joanmedina2886]

@@alk327 35 1.4? if so, don't purchase the 24gm... to close. 55mm 1.8 Zeiss & 85gm or 1.8 will balance out your focal length's.

[@mundojourney1104]

With those 3 lenses I’m building my travel KZbinr carrier, all f2.8 IS (tamron because is way cheaper than canon) and 2 canon DSLR’s, I backpacked that to over 50 countries already, but they are HEAVY AS F... !

[@omar19241988]

Dude your videos are sick!! cant believe how much you traveled, I cant believe you are not super famous already!

[@mundojourney1104]

thank you! , I was studying cinematography but drop off to travel the world and follow my passion which is sharing those amazing moments through video on this platform! I believe Video storytelling is an art form :)

I saw your channel, You are a hidden youtube Gem for sure!!!, you are gonna be famous one day

[@joshwood3505]

some cool travel videos you have there

@@mundojourney1104 couldn't agree more! It will always trump the pixel dimensions and aperture range of the video haha

I have 70-200 and 24-105; recently bought 16-35mm; which I use most

[@debandnick1962]

Canon 11-24 awesome sense Canon 24-70 Canon 100-400, my holy trinity

[@smilychaitu440]

These lenses are for full frame. Any suggestions for APS-C sensor equivalents ??

[@wesleychapman9001]

yes! 1. 10-18mm 2. 18-55mm 3. 55-250mm

There is not such thing (exactly) but... if you want fast lenses you should definitively considere: Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 (v.2 if possible) Sigma 18-35 f/1.8 Sigma 50-100 f/1.8 These are canon and nikon mount but you can get an adaptor for Sony There is no faster option for aps-c zooms than Sigma's 1.8 combo

[@pierrelarmet]

17-50 f2.8 for 24-70 f2.8 equivalent

[@joseph-the-seventh]

Canon 17-55 F2.8 is a really great "do (almost) everything" lens for Canon crop sensors.

[@inspiretl]

sadly I haven't touched my zoom lens (those 3 mentioned) since I started using prime. Zoom lens are convenient but quality don't compare to prime lens. My 3 go to lens are 35 1.4L, 85 1.4L and 135 1.8 sigma art

[@lumbanimunthali1549]

I'm basically a beginner when it comes to obsessing over camera gear...so this video was right up my street. Thanks for the info Pete, as I'm shopping around for future lenses.

[@nishaljpg]

Are you planning something special for your 3 million subscribers...? Because you're almost there :)

[@pauljameson1]

Hey Peter! I'm now in a class called "Motion for Photographers" which is really a class about video by photographers and I'm actually breaking down this video with how many cuts you used, how many musical clips there are, and if the video combines video and photo. I find you to be a great photographer to analyze videos from. It's so cool!

[@HeavySpiral]

Heard the music at the start and thought I was watching a Potato Jet video... wut? Not disappointed but still... Pavlov's dog I guess.

[@2wheelsrenough245]

Hi mr McKinnon! Your suggestion is more like to cover all the range of focal lengths but, in my opinion, not the holy trinity of lenses. I'd keep the two lenses of telezoom and widezoom such as 70-200mm and 16-35mm and.. aaannddd for that mid range my suggestion IS A 50mm. those 24-70ish lenses are just to stuffed with different glasses to do the job either wide or tele, but the 50mm that clean standard lense... so beautyfull results!!! LOVE YR VLOG DUDE!!!!!!!!

[@Noseycone]

Hey future me watching this video again , good choice. Hoping to get the 24-70!

[@ShervinKoushan]

"Even if you hit the bell, we'll think about it." 😂 So true.

[@jancovanderwesthuizen8070]

24-70mm f/2.8 (don't need anything wider) 70-200mm f/2.8 (probably gets the most use) 150-500mm f/5-6.3 (this is gonna get upgraded next, I want that constant aperture)

[@RadicalEdwardStudios]

For me, the challenge is that I like doing things that require 300 or even 400mm lenses, and if I do anything below 100, it's either macro, or something very specific. My main challenge is being limited by how wide my lenses can get, mostly due to what I can afford. The 200-400 F/4L is probably the lens for me. But also, that's more than I'm spending any time soon as a non pro.

[@LP-kr4gb]

Got them all just F4 versions ,I couldn't afford the 2.8, and also they lighter to carry around.

[@john2playz]

Holy shit the prices don’t play around LMFAO

[@TrifectaMonkey]

For APSC setup I got a Rokinon 12mm f2, Fuji 35mm f2 and Fuji 55-200mm f3.5 for about $1600 in total for photography and I'm pretty happy with that setup. I might also get a gimbal to compliment my 35mm which doesn't have image stabilisation to use for video cause that prime is so damn good.

[@beandob]

I love the 55-200! Can't ask for a better lens at $400 given the size and OIS.

[@nishantambhurkar5423]

Hahaha. Yes. you holding those three lenses altogether stressed me out. I love your channel not only because it has great content, but the fact that you make these videos interesting to watch. you are my virtual tutor for this path I choose. thank you so much.

[@oliviaraney4307]

For everyone moaning about how expensive the lenses are. Yeah. No duh. They're for professionals. People think that just because photography is some people's hobby it's not also a profession with high demands for both skill and equipment? You don't *have to buy these lenses to take some decent photos. But for those who want to make a living from multimedia work, these are investments worth considering. Even if you can't afford these lenses right now, take into consideration what he's saying: buy a diverse range of lenses to the best quality you're able to afford. the end.

[@GCHUSTLEHAWAII]

i used to have that "too expensive" mindset. When you get more experienced, you realize you rather have a few high quality gear than alot of ok quality gear

[@ar00042]

WHATS UPPPPP GUYS.... Ahhhhhhh nooooooo 😱😱😱😱😱 (u didn’t say that....)😨😨😨😨

It's actually Pfffwhat's up everybody.. Lol

[@kyletaggart]

35mm f1.8, 35mm f1.8, 35mm f1.8. I'm addicted to it!

[@HVRIS]

35mm is just such a versatile focal length dawg

[@silbay]

Carried one on my Canon F-1 for years and still do on my 5D3 though I tend to carry a 28 more and more. Forces you to get close to the subject and helps you learn to break the ice. I always found that the second lens everyone used to buy was a telephoto since they didn't want to interact with their subject. Of course if you are shooting crop sensor then the 35 is actually around a 50 which is the proper prime for a 35mm frame.

[@MatthiasAI]

I dunno about you guys, I couldnt live without my 70-200.... xD Although I have to admit im thinking of getting one of those vinyl covers for it or something, as sometimes i like the standout white... but sometimes I wish it didnt stand out SSOO damn much...

[@naheliegend5222]

Great job running around with three 35mill lenses :D

[@kyletaggart]

@@MatthiasAI I use APSC so a 70-200 is quite the step up in weight and size! although, I'd lug it around if I had one! hahaha

[@angelicarogers6417]

Hi! So I just watched a video saying if I do not have a full frame camera I should use a 17-50mm lens. Help! I'm still in the process of learning and understanding lens. Is this true!?

[@Jonny51982]

You COULD get a 17-50, but whether or not you SHOULD is based on context. If you get a lens that will work on full frame, that at least gives you the option to upgrade later without having to also upgrade the lens. But, if you know you’ll never shoot full frame, it doesn’t really matter, so you could go either way.

[@eliamcright2612]

I'm really happy it's not only two minutes ! So interesting! Thank you Peter.

[@AC-id6rf]

Utter tosh. I have those lenses but “covering the focal lengths” is not what they are for. The standard 3 lens photo journalist kit is the 70-200 the 16-35 and the 50mm f1.4 for extra light. You also carry flash and two bodies. For sports it’s the 400mm the 70-200 and again the 16-35. The 24-70 is a meh lens that you use on holiday or a day our to capture everything on one lens and one body. It is just wide enough and just long enough but does not give you the drama of the 16-35 - that makes clouds race to the corner of your frame or the pleasing creamy blur and super shallow depth of field you get on the 70-200. You never need to to “cover the focal lengths” you pick a lens for the characteristics it gives you in a picture.

[@jonahpri8413]

[@PherotoneStudios]

oh no. I already bought the 24mm 1.4 because of you and that's my favourite lens. I've recently got the 24-70 and that's epic and am looking to replace an old lens woth the 16-35 and also upgrade my cheap 75-300 with the 70-200. I'm turning into you! and it's expensive!

[@Matin_M]

I have a 18-200 mm 3.5F lens but on a crop sensor so 18-200 x1.6 so 28.8-320 its the only lens I've ever owned but it's been a great all rounder for me.
