It's crazy how this kind of information that is being put in a comprehensive and fun video where otherwise you'd have to open books and read to understand, is free on youtube. So so so grateful!

A recommendation that I have been hearing for many beginning filmmakers for early lens choices is to try and get a 16mm-35mm zoom lens, a 35mm-70mm zoom lens, and a 70mm-200mm telephoto zoom lens. As explained in this video, the idea is that with these three lenses you pretty much cover the near full range of focal lengths you'd mostly use in different movies and while zoom lenses do have the disadvantage of often having changing focal lengths, not being as sharp, or having apertures really geared for low-light, you at least have the advantage of having quick and handy resources for quickly changing focal lengths and doing otherwise guerilla filmmaking.

This is the most comprehensive guide video on lenses, that I've ever watched on YouTube. It summarized the four years I have spent on YouTube watching and learning about lenses. Great video, guys.

Finally! Through this video, I have learnt completely about lenses and which one to get started with!! ❤

[MarkByrne]

Excellent video guys. Lenses and their numbers very clearly and simply explained (they've always confused me). I feel like I've just woken up to lenses. Huge help. Thank you so much! Subscribed :)

I did a photography course in college many years ago (in the UK) and i remember bits and pieces.

This has helped bridge the gap, bringing me not only back to speed but also into the here and now. Since it was over 12 years ago!

I'm just beginning in photography but the videos on this channel are helping me understand the basics of telling a visual story and teaching me the basics of how cameras work and other stuff like that

[ChooseyClone]

Okay time to get a little sappy I inherited my grandmothers camera and have tried for years to learn how to use and understand it and your channel has taught me so much in such a short amount of time thank you guys from the bottom of my heart! ♥️

Another thing to cover is the fact that lenses are now typically electronic devices themselves, connected to the camera, with functions that can be manually adjusted or by the software. Sometimes those extra features are super useful to know/have.

One of the best vids on explaining lens. Really learned a lot. Haven’t decide what camera brand to go with though. Really a-lot of good choices. I believe the most important thing that I got from this video is “what will you be shooting?” Thanks for the help

[adude]

This is really an excellent, helpful guide. You explained what can be a very confusing part of photography in simple, easy-to-understand terms. Really appreciate this.

[FastEnglishu]

The best video ever about lenses, it's a real reference

My camera has an APSC sensor. The main 2 lenses I use are the 18-35mm f1.8 and the 50mm because of the crop the 18-35 is actually 28-56mm. my 50mm 1.8 is actually 80mm. I use the 10-18mm which is actually 16-25mm as my wide and the kit lens 15-45mm which is 25-72mm when I need to.

[EPIYATDENIS-uofy]

Thank you so much, I have used cameras shooting for long and moreover professional videos but I had not understood these things. I have no reason to search anymore, thank you fro being so generous to give out such information. God bless you
