It very much depends on what type of photography someone does. For me I do landscape and wildlife, especially birds. So I have 4 lenses which covers me from 10mm right up to 600mm, as I am using a crop sensor camera it is actually 15mm right through to 900mm ff equivalent. My lenses are 10-20mm, 18-55mm 70-300mm and 150-600mm. The first two lenses are great for landscape, while the other two zooms are great for wildlife. But I sometimes use the zooms for landscape when I only want to catch just part of a scene, as I can bring the viewers attention to one part rather that the whole thing. The 70-300 is great for wide open landscape to capture parts of it or for wildlife especially larger animals even at quite a distance, so a very versatile lens that can cover many situations. The 150-600 is my go to wildlife lens, especially for small birds and animals that are considerable distances away. But I sometimes use it for landscape, such as capturing part of a mountain peak or a valley, allowing me to really bring in just part of the scene but in great detail. With those 4 lenses I really can capture anything whether it be really close up or a long way away. While the 150-600mm lens is a monster of a lens I usually use that the most as 70% of my photography is wildlife, but I carry all 4 lenses with me most of the time. You never know what you might come across and may need to change lenses.

Your channel’s intro!! Hands down!! 🙌One of the best intros I have seen in such a long time!!

Just got into photgraphy and love learning about it. I just found your videos and the way you teach is really easy to follow. Thank you.

[adamabele]

The kind of lens you need depends on what you want to shoot. Period. So you might need some very compact and lightweight stuff for street photography like a pancake lens, an even faster zoom lens for sports or a big aperture prime lens for night shootings or a fast prime lens of middle zoom range for portraits. Wildlife photographers might look out for gear that is waterproof. Astronomers will reach out for reflecting telescopes. Divers also need different gear and for some a GoPro style video camera is the thing they need. But I agree that most cases are covered with your choice. On the other hand, you might involve the help of a camera dealer to give you a recommendation and you can try some lenses to find what suits best. Working with your gear enables you to see the limitations of each lens and with more experience you might know better what choice you want to make.

Started as a hobby. Always learn something with your videos. Thanks

[dudleydoright]

I wish you had put a link to each of the lens in the description. Great videos each and every time

[DaveTheRaveBangkok]

Great advice Sawyer. I have all those ranges covered. In addition, I use a Sigma 10-20mm f3.5 Wide Angle Lens which is great for landscapes. In addition, I use a Canon 24mm f2.8 STM 'Pancake' Lens which is a great 'walk around' lens for Canon Crop Sensor Cameras.

A year(ish) ago I bought the Canon 70-200 2.8 Mk III. I have since scarcely removed it from my camera. I am constantly amazed at the razor sharp quality of the images it produces and the versatility of it. I LOVE this lens so very much and use it for almost everything. It is truly a workhorse of a lens!

[Saltycures]

I know everyone raves about and declares that a 24-70mm f2.8 is a must, but I’m super happy with my 24-105mm f4. Yes you lose some benefits of a wider aperture, but the Sony version has great appearing bokeh and I find myself ok with what it lacks vs what I gain with that little bit of extra reach, which is something I’m always frustrated with when using a 24-70. And when you’re zoomed in to like 70mm and higher for portraits and other subjects, that blown out background looks just as good as most other lenses! All in all, I like their versatility of the 24-105 and find ways to compensate for what it lacks.

Also, I’ve found like like 50mm > 35mm all day! Great video though, mahalo!

[CrQualityPhotography]

Dude ! I love your videos man ! Thank you for all knowledge !

[neil_nicholas]

Mine got to be the 16-35 f2.8, 24-105 f4 is my in my bag in case I need more reach. Though I am contemplating getting the 70-200 range for awhile now.

[TerenceEst]

Just actually got a Canon 5D MK3 with a 50mm f.1.8, i went from a Fujifilm x100F to a classic full format Canon :D

[MiMi-gzhh]

Thank you so much for the tip about the equivalent of these lens to crop sensor. I really do appreciate your share of knowledge!

[bert]

the sigma 24-70 F2.8, tamron 90mm macro, 50mm F1.8, at the end of the year i bu the canon 70-300L.
i love this.

[brucewiebe]

Bought a Sony A7iii last year and got the 24-105 f4 for my every day walk around lens. It’s great for the travel and landscape photos that I shoot. Late last year I picked up the 16-35 f2.8 which I’m loving for landscape and some neat street shots. Next up, instead of the 70-200, will be the 100-400 for some wildlife and compressed landscape shots. Also looking at the 90mm macro for portrait and macro. That should give me complete versatility and leave me broke but still married😄.

You are by far the only Photographer who speaks my language. You made so much sense. Every word you said, in this video is exactly what I been trying to comprehend. A million Thank

[mrbetlog]

My lens lineup - 16-35 covers the 35mm range w/ wide angle shots (no need for go pro). 85 1.8 portrait and b-roll. 70-200 f4 for landscape zoom.

[ebreckpo]

Lenses for every photographer, even beginners, the lenses you advised are indeed excellent.
We have to consider lenses as a long term investment, but for someone starting out this is way over the top.
Canon lenses to consider (in my humble opinion) FF equivalents:
Canon primes
the nifty 50 from Canon for the price an excellent lens. The lens that was given for free when you bought a SLR in the past century.
(Canon 85mm f/1.8 EF a great lens for portraits and lower light situations.)
Canon 35mm f/2.0 IS USM less expensive than the Sigma, you loose a stop and you have IS, the Sigma 35mm Art is a faster lens but AF can be quirky on some Canon bodies.
zoom lenses
The 24-70mm f/2.8 is expensive, . An essential lens for event photography, even for landscape.
The 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS arguably one of the best lenses around, the latest incarnation costs around 2300€... If you are more into landscape than events i would suggest the f/4.0 version, less bockehlissious but roughly 1/3thd of the weight, for landscape and even events f/4.0 is sufficient and for weddings you have the bride and groom into focus...For landscape you will stop down to f/8.0- f/11, so what is the point of carrying a 1.6kg beast.
You can use third party zooms like e.g. Tamron but CaNikon lenses hold their value more. In the case you want to quit it is less painful...
With Regards
