What would be your ideal lens and why?

''Excellent, that’s all I required.” 😊

This is by far the best beginner's tutorial on YouTube. Photo Genius, you've earned a subscriber!

I'm relatively new to this hobby and I first stumbled upon your channel when i was looking for videos on a camera i was thinking about buying. All of your videos Ive seen so far have had a lot of information that have honestly been useful. So thank you for that.

Paul why do you mainly teach canon? ☹️😢 I have a Nikon D90 and would love for you to teach the D90. 😀👍

[rogercooper]

Thanks for sharing Paul. Wish I had started my Lens journey with this clip. 🤔🙂

[Gryffyth_Aurum]

This is full stop the most straight forward informative photography tutorial video I've watched on Youtube in a year. Fantastic work!

I am a crafter and I make wreaths and door hangers. First time buying a professional camera Canon. It has been quite a journey. I am learning everything by myself but thank you for the info. I hope I learn the best way to take beautiful pics of my wreaths

I bought a camera with 3 lens. I did not buy it new. But, thank goodness for your channel. I’ve played around with it but could not get a close up, clear. Then… I saw this video about the lens. Guess what? It is the most beautiful picture of my dog. I can even see the loose hair around his face. I will continue learning and sharing everything you have.

very helpful for me who try to begin my dslr trial….tq !!!

Thanks Paul! Now, I know the significance of the red dot vs. the white dot! Also, I'm shopping for new lenses; and now I know to look for EF vs. EFS lenses so that when I upgrade to a full frame, I'll be able to use my new lenses on both cameras. Though I'm not completely happy with my kit lenses, I am now aware that I can use the kit 70mm - 300mm lens on a full frame camera, as well. I'm not exactly a beginner; but I still learned a lot from this video.

As a novice just bought a canon eos 1200d. Your videos are helping a lot, written instructions can be very confusing

[anandaabey]

This was a great video I learned lot. Thanks for your time for beginners like me.

Hi Paul. Greetings from Portland, Oregon. I appreciate you, your knowledge, and your videos. Thank you so much. I have a Canon Eos Rebel T7. You are very helpful in what you teach.

[reginamunoz]

I had no idea there was a manual focus ring! I gave up on using MF because i couldn't focus. Thanks so much for explaining the difference between the two rings.

[winnerokpe]

I love your channel so much, nobody does it like you do... Great teacher...

[starforged]

I give you three thumbs up. This is the third time I have watched this and I'm still learning. Thank you.

[jahriquemcclain]

I’m a upcoming photographer using the canon eos rebel T7 your videos helped me out so much and made me become a better photographer! Thank you !

[seandrury]

Probably the best video I’ve watch that explains lenses!
