Try the original and save 80 grams. It is also an entirely different optical formula, the original is a sonnar lens
I have a 7artisans 35mm f.95, it's also de-clicked, which is a bit annoying because I always have to double check I haven't changed the aperture, but it can be useful when shooting video.
What do you think about the Magbak case for S23 ultra? Do you recommend the Peak Design or Magbak?
Hey there! I definitely suggest getting the Peak Design. PD's ecosystem is just so diverse especially if you're into rigging stuff up or into doing in EDC stuff, PD That's different mounts specifically made for their system. I suggest you look into it!
@@markfriday oh ok, have you tried to use their mobile tripod? and does it stay steady?
Hello, thank you for sharing this amazing video with us all. This was a very informative video that seriously makes me want to purchase this whole system.
Hey man! Thank you for dropping a comment! You're going to love this whole system because it's just so compact and you can do so much with it despite being a solo shooter! Just be mindful of wind, this is still like any other softbox It can still be blown away haha.
Can you lock in the direction, or will you have to deal with this on a windy day. Looks like it just freely rotates.
Hey, Lukas! Thank you for asking such a good question! I was actually very skeptical about this before I bought it and I was blessed with an opportunity to try the product first at the shop before I got it and I'm happy to report that it doesn't really get blown away by the wind and of course the only thing keeping it from being blown away is the person handling the softbox or if you're using a light stand that might be the factor. Other than that the hinge for the softbox is pretty strong and it doesn't just rotate on its own.
Hi good sir! I wanted to get a GoPro 11 for myself and I want to ask, how would u rate it's battery longetivity?
Hey, Dantako! Battery longevity is basically dependent on the battery's health, if it's new it's going to last longer of course but based on my testing as long as you're not shooting in the highest bit rate, You can record for longer, for me that would be 2.7k, is the perfect in between for having a good file size at the same time good quality without eating too much battery.
@@markfriday much appreciated with the response sir!
Film simulations are one of the things pushing me to get a Fujifilm instead of a Sony; but Sony is so good (specially on video) when compared. But can you move between "simulations" on the a6700 as easy as you can with a Fuji? Or do you always need to dive into the menu to slect and adjust before taking the photo.
Hi, I just bought this lens. It seems so zoomed in and I can’t zoom out. Is it supposed to be like that?
Hey there! Yes it's normal! With that being so zoomed in it will give you the best flattering image possible when taking portrait shots, It makes anybody more handsome or more beautiful haha. That's just how this focal length works
@@markfriday okay thank you!!

@@markfriday 😄
how is the video when using this lens with the a6700 in body stabilization?
Hey, man! Good question! In video mode, it's a lot more of a smoother interaction on the a6700's stabilization software because it already has "active" stabilization. For photography, I can't really feel the difference especially when I tried it with my friend's older a6400, it's pretty much the same for photography.
Hi Mark! What is the difference between the Mini Evo and the Mini Evo hybrid? Which is better as to the features and the image quality? I am confused which to buy. Thanks.
Hi, there! There's no difference, they're just named differently depending on where you live. There's only one big difference, there's an older micro usb version and there's the newer type-c version! Both perform exactly the same except for the charging method!
Which is better this one or the Instant Mini Evo Hybrid?Thanks.
Hi, there! There's no difference, they're just named differently depending on where you live. There's only one big difference, there's an older micro usb version and there's the newer type-c version! Both perform exactly the same except for the charging method!
Next time please show to print a photo from your smartphone .Thanks.
I have a problem with the frame rate! I only have the options FHD 50, FHD 25, HD 25 and VGA , does someone know how to fix that?
Hey, Maria! Sounds like you're on the PAL region. To change this, just go into your settings and change it to NTSC!
Is ir sturdy enough? The case looks heavy
Hi there! It does get heavy but if you want additional mounting options then this is the only way to go about it!
Just a couple weeks before this video, you stated the Mini 99 was the best Instax of 2024. How would you compare them, and which one do you prefer?
@@iflorish they're two entirely different cameras for me. One being digital and one being analog. It depends on what I'm feeling on using the day that I'm gonna be bringing a camera out. Short answer is if I know that my friends want copies of the photos I'm going to be taking, I'll bring my Evo if the photos are going to be solely mine and I want to take a more analog approach on that day or I want to take a break from digital cameras, I'll definitely bring my Mini 99, also in my opinion, mini 99 looks so much better because it's more authentic vintage looking haha, The mini Evo really looks like a modern camera trying to look vintage. As for picture quality, if you want the best without making mistakes then definitely go for the Mini Evo solely because of the ability to view the photo before you print it but it takes away the fun of taking instant photos. Hope this helps!
Great video. I like that you have a slightly different take from the usual recommendations. No doubt sigma 18-50mm is a smart choice for most apsc owners.
Hey, man! Thank you so much for commenting! Appreciate you!
Can it allow the action 4 to record WITHOUT a battery in it?
@@HooktOnCarolina as a matter of fact yes! I was curious so I tried it! It works 100%!
Fz55 , az 405 ou galaxy s23 ultra?
FZZ all the way! Nothing beats shooting photos with a real camera!
I got mine off of Depop for even cheaper and it’s brand new 🤭
Happy for you! How's it going with your new gear?
does this setting work on G9X mark II as well?
Pretty much! They're not exactly the same but the menu system and interface are alike!
BTW: The optional Oled Viewfinder is flipable. All in all, it is an masterpiece. Somehow a smaller Leica M, but more compact - thanks to the wonderfull (but) fixed f2 ZEISS Lens it creates very similar image quality. Intuitive Contax ZEISS f stop ring. Still my favourite compact allround cam delivering Full Frame fascination after 13 years.
Based on the rave reviews from every reputable corner of YT, I stepped back into the Canon digital realm and bught a truly mint 6D (many years ago I had a 5DMk2 in kit). I just expected the same unparalleled Canon color space and clarity, maybe also close to the 5D classic. However, I was disappointed by the pictures rendered in terms of color and also focus. Probably, I happened to have a Monday model. I just sold it. Nevertheless, if the pictures are OK and to your liking, the 6D is a true bargain, indeed.
bro forgot the 35mm :)
Funny that you mentioned that, haha. The 35mm f1.8 is a bit pricey for some people so I didn't opt to put it in.
@@markfriday well funny guy, we only share our thoughts, not intended to being funny, as for sigma 35mm in my area is around the same price as the 10 18 oss
@@dudoplatz hey I meant no disrespect. I meant that I almost put it on the list but then the 35mm is covered by the kit lens and the 18-50 of course without the 1.8. Just wanted to make the list versatile. Sorry for the misunderstanding
Hey great video! I have a bit of stupid question, but how do you offload the audio files if the mic is not connected to the camera. Is there an SD card slot on the Sony XLR-H1?
Hey, Marissa! No worries at all and there's no such thing as a stupid question. There isn't an SD card slot on the XLR H1, It records straight into the camera as you record a video! You won't be able to use it if you don't connect it to any camera because it is basically powered by the multi interface shoe
Good video buddy did you have any overheating issues with it?
Hey, man! There was only one instance of overheating for me, it happened during one of the hottest summers last year and I was recording myself skateboarding, I left the camera filming at the highest bitrate and it switched off. For controlled temperature environments that probably wouldn't happen.
Please can I use it for creating recipe videos for youtube and other platforms??
Yes, you can! Because there's no flip out screen, you just have to frame up your shot first, because then start shooting! The 6d is still a beast!
What happens to the photos you don’t print? Can you save them to your phone?
Sadly They made it so you MUST print so You can save it To your phone

❤I tried it, love it but I decided to go with RS2. The thing that make Moza a deal breaker for me is the locking mechanism, it is small and sometimes I find it hard to access. In terms of smoothness, this handle like a charm. Great option instead of RS3.
If your gonna be the big expert then maybe avoid the jittery microphone reflection in the front screen...? 🤦🏼♂️
Thanks for the advice! Will definitely keep this in mind!
I am hesitant to try an 8.25 on my 5.25 ventures. is there much of an imbalance?
You should be fine. Just put 2-3 speedrings (washers) on the inside to spread of the wheels all the way out! Only problem is you'll need to find where to buy the washers.
WOOOW! Thank you so much, so happy I found your video!!! After combing the internet, I thought I had to buy a new camera. I actually started using the rechargeable batteries from Sony which solved the issue ( need to be mindful now of switching them but better then buying a new camera or mic)
Guess I just disagree with two of your choices. Prefer the Sigma 10-18/2.8 DC DN that pairs perfectly with the 18-50/2.8. The for portraits I prefer the Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DG. There are others I like like my Sony 15/1.4 G and Sigma 23/1.4 DC DN but the first three I can capture almost everything I need to when traveling light with an APS-C body like the A6700. Take care.
I've fitted a collapsible rubber lens hood with a protective filter on the lens. I have a wrist strap and an after-market grip which gives me a rock-solid grasp on the body. Please Sony - make an RXiiiR.
