ONLY two lenses forever!
In this video I discuss the ONLY two lenses I would keep over any other for the rest of my life if I had to choose. It is also my goal to help somebody new to photography with their lens purchasing decisions.

My hope is to motivate my audience to be less in their head and more candid about their releases.

Ricoh GR3X, Why I Bought It & Who It's For
Love it!
Thanks man!
That’s sick
This should teach you to never look down on a Camry
Kept it real, to the point ajd super informative - thank you
Thank you! Glad you think so :)
18mm f1.8 and my S Pro 24-70mm f2.8
An 18 prime with a 24-70, makes sense!
I like your video. Legit. Subscribing.
Thank you so much! New here but aiming for quality.
Lens go girls!
Oooh, I like it
Thanks hoss. Been looking for this.
Just my two pennies
Thanks! Def helpful
Just over here doing the lord's work
Great advice!
I try!
Lens daddy
👨🏻🦰
this is the video I needed today man thanks
Absolutely man, glad you got something out of it!
Sony 24-70 f2.8 GM II + Sony 40 f2.5 G for street
Love the choices! I carry the Ricoh GR3X on me which is about a 40mm equivalent lens, so I hear you :)
"True!" Thank you.
Thank YOU
for me : 24mm gmaster & 85gmaster
Heck yeah
Sigma 16-50 f2.8 and a zoom telephoto would be more than enough for me.
Absolutely, zooms for the win these days
You have some secret sences, I have 3 old Pentax and just when I wanted a new camera I thought Pentax (Ricoh) was dead, I found this. I bought it just now. I hope I will like it. =) Great video =)
Awesome! I absolutely love mine, I hope you feel the same about yours :)
@@RYANROOTPHOTO Yep, Love it, still learning but a whole lot interesting stuff, some settings are so cool. =)
Only two lenses? 16-25 (not a typo) and 24-70.
Thats a good, wide range!
35mm 1.4 and 70-200 gm ii
So many in these comments rave about that 70-200 gm ii, I will have to get my hands on that at some point!
Love it
:)
😂
🤡
Crazy
😵💫
Comment
Excellent choices, I own both and a few others as well. What I personally gravitate to for my client photography work is the 24mm f1.4 GM and the Sigma 85mm f1.4 DG DN. For my travels it mostly depends on where I’m going, but nowadays I tend to bring along the 14mm f1.4 GM, the 24-70mm GM II, and the 70-200mm GM II.
Man, I keep reading that 70-200 GM ii in these comments. So many that I just feel like I have to get my hands on one to at least try for a bit. Would pair nicely to my 24-70 gm ii.... 🤷🏻♂️🫠
@@RYANROOTPHOTO I don’t use it as much as I’d like but I do enjoy it when I do use it.
Sigma 28-45 F/1.8 + Samyang 35-150 F2-2.8 ❤️
Ah yes the heavyweight kit
Good reach!
Sony 70-200 F2.8 GM II and Sony 50 F1.4 GM. I love my Sigma 24-70 2.8 ART as well, but I'll just have to make do with the 50 in this scenario.
Gotta love a 50 prime!
great shot!
Thank you 😊 🇺🇸
For zoom and basically all around 24-70 and 70-200. For primes 35mm for everyday/ portraits and 85mm 1.2 mainly for portraits
35/85 are my favorite primes as well 👍🏻
Great simple video My dream gear are a Sony A6700, a Sigma 18-50 f2.8, a Viltrox 75 f1.2
Appreciate it! I agree, the 6700 is such a great camera
100 percent agreed
Heck yes! 👏
This is my Contax T3 replacement
It’s a great little tool!
i am waiting for a true hybrid of the same size and weight of the ricoh griii
You mean with actual acceptable video capabilities? 🤣
Why is this better than a modern iPhone?
Probably a sharper lens and better dynamic range. But as he said it mostly depends on the kind of experience you're after. I have a Pixel phone which takes nice pictures but I only use it for casual photography.
Not making the case that it is! Modern cell phones are great tools, but as I mentioned in the video I just prefer a dedicated camera for my photography as it makes it feel like more of a priority to me and not so much of an afterthought. Whatever works for the shooter!
I wonder if the Ricoh GRiiix is for me. I just purchased one. I am struggling with setting this thing up. I do street photography and I think many GR users are in that camp. The other camp is as an EDC for those with big rigs like you. Besides the camera fighting me as ai try to set it up, I know I will struggle with not having an EVF. I knew this going into GR world. Simply stated, I’m an EVF user for composing. I hope I can get into the one handed point and shoot mode so many GR users use. I am digging the high contrast B&W mode. Very contrasty. Crunch those blacks. Very sharp lens. Who doesn’t love the size and low weight? Battery life? Wasabi batteries are cheap. Carrying a couple extra batteries comes with the small and lightweight body. I bought mine from craigslist for $700. For a body and lens that is an OK price. I am hoping to love the GR. As suggested, this thing is resisting being set up for everyday use. I’m hoping to resolve this issue. There are a lot of Ricoh GR fans. They all can’t Be wrong. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)
Love this comment. I will say that the setting up and familiarizing aspect of this camera is a challenge, at least was for me. There is a CZcamsr named Adrien Sanguinetti who goes into detail on how he sets this up, I suggest diving into some of his Ricoh videos, I essentially use his set up method. As for the lacking EVF I totally understand your apprehension. I will say though that you DO adapt. There are a lot of "spray and pray" moments, and thats exactly where the snap auto focus comes into play. Like you, I use the high contast B&W mode as well and actually use this camera as my daily black and white documentation/capture. I am going to make a video on here why I use it this way. I hope you get to enjoy this camera :)
For me versatility is key. Therefore I would have to go with my RF24-70 2.8 and my RF100-500. Nowadays I very rarely use something else.
I'm loving these comments because I'm realizing how many people would forego primes altogether and just use a couple of zooms. I mean, why not when they are just that good?
@@RYANROOTPHOTO Exactly! And with modern software like DxO PureRaw I can easily control higher ISO levels.
After for sure
👏
When I used to do weddings and other events I could get away with a 28/35mm 1.4 prime and a 70-200 f2.8 zoom. These days I do more landscape and sport/nature/wildlife. Three lenses (although I own four/five). A 20mm 1.8G, a 50mm 1.8G, and my two portrait lenses the 70-200 and the amazing Nikkor 85mm 1.4G, one of my dream lenses. Most days though, I use a 28mm (Ricoh GRiii) and either the 50mm 1.8 or the 85mm 1.4 as my walk around street/portrait kit. If I had to choose ONLY two lenses, gun to my head? 20mm 1.8G and the 85mm 1.4G. 100% (although I would miss the 50mm normal perspective)
I’m looking at getting myself a 20 prime next! Also, I love my Ricoh camera as well, it’s fantastic
Lovely video 🙌
Thank you! Hope you like my future videos as well
Zoom wise I would do my 24-70 and 70-200 2.8. Primes only would be my 35 1.2 and 105 1.4.
A lot of people seem to love their 70-200, a lens I’ll have to pay more mind to
Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 for client work Helios 44-2 for passion projects
I obviously love my 24-70GM2, but if I could do it over again I'd probably get that newer Sigma 24-70 II lens.
I like to travel and use the tamron 20-40mm f 2.8 and 50mm f1.4
Oh heck yeah. Zoom for the win with travel 🏆
On my Nikon D700, I'd carry the 20-35mm f2.8 and the 50mm f1.4 (If I could have a 3rd lens when traveling, it'd be an 85mm f1.8).
Ah, nifty 50 guy. I get it!
Hard, but if I had to ... RF 28-70mm f 2 L USM RF 50mm f 1.2 L USM
Solid!
I am more of a mix-and-match for the day's purpose. Outdoor festivals: Only one is enough. Tamron 35-150mm Indoor events: Sony 35 F1.4, Sony 20-70 (room and small space) and Tamron 35-150 (key speech, normally in a bigger hall) Outdoors for fun: 35mm F1.4 and 50mm F1.2 (as normally it involves portrait) and 20-70 on the video camera. Tight space due to weight and can only take one lens, I'll go for 20-70.
Oh, for sure, its all situational. I'm with you on that 35mm. I use my 35mm GM for a lot of things but that sucker really shines for indoor shoots. Love it.
im a big fan of a zoom thats why i bought tamron35-150 and a tamron 17-28
Nice!
Tamron 20-40mm sita on my A7CR 95% of time, with Apsc mode it’s basically a 20-60mm, pretty good for my needs.
Ugh, jealous of that A7CR 😩
Sony 35mm f1.4 GM and Sony 70-200 f2.8 GM II
I also love my 35 GM!
I do more casual and travel photography in my free time, so I would take a 24-105mm f4 and a 35mm f1.4. It gives you a lot of flexibility to shoot whatever you want on your trips and also lets you shoot envirinmental portraits with nice depth of field if you want to.
Sounds about right!
Yep. My super minimal wedding kit is the same.
You get it! Cheers 📸
35-150, a dream come true. 50mm 1.4 prime and a 17-28. All I would ever need, rest is just for fun
Nice! Got to love that focal coverage all in one kit 👌
@@RYANROOTPHOTO85 dg dn is a very nice lens btw some of my best pictures are with this lens. Works nice for (indoor) sports too. Don't need it, but still love this lens. Same for the 24
@@slglasius Agree! There's just something special about it
