Great video thank you, was going to get a 16m but thinking the 23 might be better!

Andrew, thanks for the great video. Your work is very helpful in setting up my studio. Based on this discussion, how do you determine the optimal distance to have the camera from your face? Say the difference between 3 feet versus 2 feet for example? Thanks.

Great information Andrew. I believe you're using a crop sensor camera so for those viewers using full frame cameras that would need to multiply your recommended focal lengths by 1.5.

Hi sir my studio is 8 feet length and 5 ft width so which lens will be good for video

For a firs-timer which camera would you recommend for videos.

If you were to buy a sony ev10 with the kit lens of 16-50mm, then does this not mean you can zoom in and out with that lens, which means you can choose to shoot at 16mm, 24mm, 30mm, 50mm, etc?

So why would I need to buy another separate 30mm lens, or a 24mm lens?


Surely since the kit lens has a range from 16-50mm it covers them all?

Or am I misunderstanding something?

Please advise

Thanks
