[@sandratrarambeloson144]

@@wolfamri You are welcome, sometimes we need to take time to leave good feedbacks on an Internet full of bad reviews. By the way, do you have a video about bridge cameras? I end up on your channel because i was looking for a good camera to take a special event pictures but i also want to use that later on. Online shopping doesn't actually work well in my country and most of the camera in my budget i found in the only famous store are bridges. But most youtubers didn't advice to buy a bridge, all of them said to either buy a second hand reflex or invest on a good camera smartphone depending on your needs. So now i'm curious, are bridges really that bad? especially the entry level because if you are looking for a bridge, you are likely on a budget, high end bridge surely have some amount of value. Do you already have a video about that or any advice you can give?

[@wolfamri]

🤗🤗 well, I have a high end bridge for the extreme zoom it offers. But other than that, I wouldn’t recommend them either. They are slow, have a bad low light performance and a very big depth of focus. Not the best option for events. I‘m afraid I don’t have a video about them either 😬

@@wolfamri You're very welcome 😊 I have a question that i just can't seem to understand. I have a canon t7i- crop sensor. If I want a focal length in the 28mm region do i have to get an 18mm lens or do i just get a 28mm?

[@wolfamri]

I know, many youtubers and others like to make this way too complicated. Why even bother to convert it to a full frame focal length. You probably have your kit lens. The numbers you read on the zoom ring are the numbers you need to get if you want that angle of view. Only if you see an image shot with a full frame camera and think: I want that focal length/angle of view, would you need to divide the focal length they used by 1.6 to get the same effect. Does that make sense? Did you check my video crop vs full frame yet?

[@ravenchaos9216]

@@wolfamri ohhh yes! It DOES make sense thank you so much and yes they do make it complicated! I'm over here thinking if I get a 50mm lens it's actually going to be a around 75mm and that's too much for what I want to do so it scared me of buying anything because of this whole conversion thing got me messed up. I appreciate you taking the time to answer the most difficult question that I've been stuck on forever! and oh yes, I've been watching a lot of your videos, I love how simplified you keep things, the only one i was like "ahhhh 😱" on was the aperture science.

[@gregfaris6959]

I understand this is an introductory video for beginners, and as such it is not expected to be scientifically irreproachable, but when we introduce erroneous notions right from the beginning, this is how people grow and advance with misconceptions that will continue to confuse them until they can be unlearnt and corrected. For instance, there is no intrinsic relation between the focal length of a lens and its field of view. A 16mm lens would be a “normal” lens for a 10 x 13mm sensor, and I have a 165mm extreme wide-angle lens for my 8x10 inch view camera. The field of view included by a lens is a matter of the design of the lens, not related to its focal length, and a certain design of wide-angle lens may be reproduced in many different focal lengths for different formats. If you take that 16mm “normal” lens for the 10x13mm sensor and mount it on a full-frame, 24x36mm sensor, it will not include a wide angle of view, It will just “paint” a small circle of image in the middle of the frame. Again, I’m sorry to nitpick on an introductory video, but I have seen so many photographers arriving at university-level courses with misconceptions such as “wide-angle lenses have greater depth of field” or “telephoto lenses alter perspective”, and these have to be unlearned for the photographer to advance in their craft.

[@wolfamri]

Greg, I think we have to differentiate people interested in university grade knowledge and those (the vast majority ) who are seeking quick info to make a lens choice. Most people would not watch more than a few seconds if you’d go in depth on optics in a video like this. I love to learn everything about photography, but when I’m looking for a recipe for cooking, I wouldn’t be interested in the chemistry or physics of what happens to food when I put it into an oven. The world is full of generalizations because otherwise we’d probably go nuts, don’t you think?

This came top of recommendation, btw i'm new into this world, currently have my eyes on the Sony A6400 but learning the basics for now, thanks for the simple breakdown, would love to know how every focal length has its purpose.

[@wolfamri]

Thanks for your feedback, Nehemiah! The a6400 is a great camera. The wider lenses (lower focal length in mm) are often used for landscapes, architecture, milky way photography. from 50mm up (on your camera, which has an APS-C-sized sensor) they are popular for portraits. And the longer they get (focal length in mm), the more suitable they are for things that are far away and you want to tear them closer (moon, wildlife). Macro lenses are usually around 100mm, they let you get very close to your subject and give you a big magnification. I hope that will give you an idea. It all depends on what yu want to photograph 😉

[@KandFamilyAdventures]

Do you have any videos comparing lenses for landscape photography like you do for the portraits?

[@wolfamri]

Hi! I’m afraid no. There will be a new focal length comparison coming up, but it’s not a landscape lens comparison. For landscape, lenses are not that critical. You can usually set up a tripod and can choose f/11 or so for a decent depth of focus (if desired). That’s the same for every lens. So for landscape you can’t really go wrong if you get everything you want into the frame. Surely higher end lenses will give you a slightly sharper image or less lens flare when shooting into the sun, but there is no difference like the low f-number for portraits. An exception is nightsky photography though. This is where low f-numbers help a lot 😉.

This video was so helpful and informative 😊 what is the best lens for closeup eye makeup tutorials and potrait videos?

[@wolfamri]

Thank you, Malvina. What kind of portrait videos, How much space do you have between camera and person and which camera?

@@wolfamri i use a canon 70d with a 50 mm f1.4 lens to shoot tutorials by myself. I am doing close up eye looks but this lens is not so zoomed and i have to scale the shots in premiere pro. I am looking for a camera that can both film closeup eye looks and potraits that are above the shoulders (the main focus is the makeup so not really far away potrait shots)

[@wolfamri]

A macro lens would definitely help with the closeups, but they are usually not the fastest focusing, particularly not in video. Plus, I’m afraid the 70D isn’t the fastest video focuser either. You’ll probably have to manual focus. There is a 50mm macro by canon. Nice sharp lens, that allows a 1:2 magnification. But you could also get a raynox 250 macro lens.

@@wolfamri Thank you so much for the reply. I am thinking of getting a new camera. Which one would you suggest?

[@wolfamri]

For video, a mirrorless will help big time. I’d go with either Sony or Canon. I just found out that Canon sued third party lens manufacturers for producing lenses for their mirrorless cameras, so maybe it’s not the perfect choice. How much are you able to spend on lens and camera?

Great content! Do you still keep making videos? I just found your channel. Somehow I cannot find the videos between the lessons 5.0 and 7.0 ...are they available?

[@wolfamri]

Hey Danny! Thanks! Yes I do. I have started with 7 because I needed some time to create what was planned as 6. But then things kept me from creating new content. Last fall I started creating new videos in a hopfully even better way. I film them on different locations, that´s why it takes a while. But a lot of it is already filmed. Covid didn´t help too much with getting the rest of the footage 🤣. That´s why I started those indoor photography ideas in the meantime.

I understand. Thank you for your excellent work! I’m just a beginner now and but once I get better at it, I’d like to do this as my full-time job. I really appreciate your generosity in sharing what you know with all of us! Keep up the good work!!!!

[@wolfamri]

Good luck with your journey! You‘ll love it. But be aware that it gets increasingly difficult to do photography full time.
