WHAT LENS SHOULD I BUY ? (and why)

[@photogenius]

Which lens would you choose?

[@Jin.Sensei]

I really need wide lens. 10-24mm would be nice. Especially because I have a cropped sensor so I have to multiply with 1.6x to get my real focal distance.

[@earavichandran]

I am looking for Nikon 10-20mm af-p lens for landscape photography. But i don't know about quality of the lens and image quality. Did you recommend this?

[@lorithorpe3502]

when i had my pentax slr camera, i used to have a 500mm mirror lens , do they still make them ? i used to really like that lens .

I have the Canon 55 - 250mm IS II lens and plan to upgrade to the STM version. All the reviews I have seen for it say it is a bit sharper than the one I have. I use it on a Canon T3 / 1100D.

[@billwendry]

Excellent primer! I happen to have chosen wisely, based on a fair amount of luck. I have all Canon lenses including the “Nifty -50”, the “Pancake”, and the 55-250mm. I am pleased with all three choices, but also find the Canon 18-55mm Kit lens to be a good "grab and go" general use lens. Carry on with the clear, concise, and well thought-out advice!

I have the Canon 70D with the Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 and the 50mm f1.8 STM. I recently bought the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 because I was struggling in a concert building. There wasn't much light, but it was a paid photoshoot, so I needed that extra stop of light. My next lens is going to be the Canon 85mm f1.8. I really like portrait photography and this lens gives me exactly what I want. Thanks for the video Paul!!!

Same question! The Canon links seem to be only for EF, not EFS, but I have a Ti8 - will the EF lenses still fit? Thank you.

[@raydunn3501]

Hi Paul,,, I think its also worth mentioning,,, the differents in camera body like full frame and apsc,,, which will have a different focal length depending on which type of body you are using the lenses on.

[@photogenius]

Fair point Ray - I will put together a crop factor video in the near future.

[@uweinhamburg]

The focal length of a lens is a physical quality of a lens like the weight or physical size! The focal length doesn't change when you detach the lens from the camera and put it in your bag. 50mm is 50mm is 50mm The optical effect will change with different sensor sizes..

[@threeducks]

I love taking macro or just close up subjects but being on a tight budget I went with the Nikon 40mm the biggest problem is if taking images of insects like bees on a flower the lens has to be very close to the bee and this can cause it to fly away. I have some close-up images on a stock agency site that sell very well using this lens.

And wanting to clarify, if using a crop sensor camera both the focal length and widest F Stop need to be multiplied by the crop factor in order to know the actual focal length and F Stop. Am I correct? And, the crop factor math is needed even if using a lens made for cropped sensor cameras. Am I correct? Thank you in advance for clarification by an expert and talented instructor 🙏🏼

[@christophermason7735]

Great video. I’ve been into photography a couple of years because I travel with my job. I’ve a canon 720sx compact when I’m travelling light but when I have space I take my second hand canon 760D. Again I mostly take scenery and architecture shots travelling so I bought the 24mm as it takes up no space. I I take my 55/250 the 24mm goes in my pocket. But what I discovered is it’s a great lens for the kids to play with the camera. They love it. Point and shoot. But my wife pointed out portrait of her and the kids look a bit harsh on the 24mm and not as good as on my other 55/250 lens zoomed out to 55mm. So you convince me. I’m buying the 55 f1.8. You see them about £60 second hand and if my wife if happy with her pictures then maybe I get the pink pass to buy the 10/18 you talked about. I bought the 24mm hoping I could take architectural pictures but on the cropped sensor I often can’t get far enough back. What would be great is if you set a challenge for the kids. Maybe under 16 to let them play on dads camera. I’m finding getting the whole family involved on a day shooting pictures really makes for a great day. I’m going to check out that monopod you mentioned too. My youngest daughter struggled with the telephoto and this might be just what she needs.

Hey Paul. After watching the filters video, I've gone back and watched a couple of your lenses videos. Looking for a more specialized recommendation: I've signed up for a Milky Way photography course occurring in Sept. in Maine (I'm in Seattle, WA). For my D3500 they are recommending a Tokina F2.8, either 11-16 or 11-20. I'd like to have this lens as usable as possible for photography besides astrophotography. From your perspective, is there any usable difference of the 11-20 vs 11-16? Second: Is there another astrophotography lens you'd otherwise recommend? The price is a balancing act since my wife and I are making this our big trip of the year and between course tuition and other travel we may spend $12K+ (yes, unfortunately those are US dollars so it may be this means next year's vacation is driving 2 hours to the coast and sleeping on the beach) so I don't want to spend a lot more money, but I want to invest enough in a quality lens that I am not looking for "bigger and better" in a couple years. Thanks for any guidance you can give! Love your videos!! Best, Steve

[@paul-c7541]

Hi Paul, 50mm lens you mention is that for full frame, I'm asking because I own the Canon 500d crop sensor lens ,so if I put a 50mm, on it would that make it approx. 80mm ? if so what lens would I need to make 50mm on my 500d, hope I've not made that question confusing. Paul

[@whitesapphire5865]

Hello there! Is there some strange relationship between the lenses used on DSLR cameras, and those used on conventional SLR cameras? As a relatively newcomer to DSLR, I've noticed that say, a 300mm lens on a conventional camera seems to "get closer" than the equivalently marked lens on my DSLR. For example, at 300mm, the moon almost entirely fills the frame on my conventional SLR, whereas on my DSLR, the moon appears considerably smaller in the frame. Have I missed a trick somewhere? Another question which would be interesting answer, is this; are any lenses interchangeable between SLR and DSLR? - For instance, I have accumulated over the years a decent collection of Pentax 'K' mount lenses for my film camera, could any be used on a Pentax DSLR? Or vice versa? Lenses seem to be a bit confusing at times, and I'm only a pottering amateur!

Great video! I’ve been watching your videos for a couple of months now and really like them. One question about this video though: you said that if you want to get really close to the action you should get 100-400 mm lens but since even my old Sigma DG 150-500 mm f5.0-6.3 doesn’t seem to be long enough should you talk also about 150-600 mm lenses in a video like this?

I am a beginner and thinking to get it. the kit comes with EF M 15-45mm and I'm thinking to get the EF M 55-200mm which will be $250 less if bought at the time of buying the kit. Do you think it will be a good buy or I should just get the kit with the 15-45mm? I'm more into taking photos of nature, people, food etc. If you think about a better image quality budget camera other than the M50 I would appreciate it if you can share your recommendations.

Hi Paul, love your work mate, so precise & clear for a newcomer like me but as a new viewer of your videos I noticed that you don't often mention Tamron lenses (unless I have missed a mention perhaps), is there a reason for this, have you found them to be inferior?.

The 50mm has a larger aperture (low f number) so will be better in low light than the 18-55mm and better at giving you a blurry background. Watch this video for more info : kzbin.info/www/bejne/sF67i6SCfNpsfs0 Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.

THANKS for this video and all that you do, I am just getting into photography I was taking pictures with a 13 year old point and shoot, so I took the plunge and bought a Canon SL2 with the kit lens EF-S 18-55mm IS STM Len so with this said what would you suggest for taking pictures and video at disney we are heading down there in early January. The camera store guy suggested 35mm 2.8 macro or EF 50mm F 1.8 stm, which you talked about can you help please? I forgot to say we are going to go at night to the parks and taking photos of buildings and people mainly lights video and pictures about 50/50
