Ernesto, I love your shooting style, your speaking style, etc. I especially love your color tones with brown skin. I assume they are not like these straight out of camera. How do you achieve such exquisit brown skin tones? Anything special like presets, a sample patch with your favorite skin tones you can use to shift them with, etc?
Thank you...my post production workflow is on my CZcams channel and if you want to get more in-depth check out my Ernestosue.com/store for post production tutorial.
What's up Ernesto? I have to say your living room lighting setup is legit. It almost looks like a green screen . I thought I was one of the few people who appreciated manual lenses on modern cameras. Your images and this video is really better for them than a paid advertisement. You're slowly becoming the Nipsey Hussle of photography LOL
thank you...I am trying with the lighting :-). I don't know too much about Nipsey Hussle besides his recent passing, so you will need to unpack that statement for me a little bit :-).
@@ErnestoSuePhotography in a short time he accomplished a lot business-wise. Especially since he didn't come from that back ground and he left a blueprint four other youths to become entrepreneurs in their craft without relying on the system in place. You seem to be on a similar path
Nice video! Beautiful and sharp images! definitely a lens that people should consider. It is not usual to use a macro lens for Portrait photography. I would like to watch also some reviews in this type of lenses that not many people know about, such as the new Irix 45mm f/1.4 dragonfly or the Laowa 105mm f/2. STF (smooth trans focus).
Thanks for the video, always helpful. Please do you mind making available any of the RAW images from the shoot? Thinking of getting the lens too and would be happy to see any of the RAW images.
Ernesto, you are a gifted photographer. You inspire me to continue this journey as a photographer and content creator. The universe is wide open for you . What lens are you filming this video on sir ?
@@ErnestoSuePhotography It's the "Focus guide function". It provides arrows and the arrows turn green when focus is achieved without having to zoom in and use focus peaking.
I wouldn't say that If we speak about regular portrait photography or anything else which requires telephoto lens. Even the Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM costs x1,4 more (in my country). Sure, you get +50mm focal length and auto focus, but if you want to use manual any time then I assume this one is far more precise and I have a feeling that the image quality is minimum equal if not better than the Canon. Sadly not a single comparsion video exists about these 2 lenses. Maybe macro wise it can be tough to sell since the Venus Optics Laowa 100mm f/2.8 Ultra Macro APO shares the same price (in my country), which is a far better choice for every kind of macro photography. I would say this Irix MIGHT BE a good all rounder, if you want to use 1 single lens with a longer focal length to cover a lot of macro or non-macro applications.
@@DrEarbuds "Was that your particular shot or the lens?" I don't understand this question, please elaborate so I can address it. Thank you for subscribing to the channel.
@@ErnestoSuePhotography @4:17 & @4:21 the background blur was the lens or the way you adjusted the shot ? I normally prefer less background blur . Oh course that's just my preference . I appreciate your relaxed intensity in the way you deliver your videos .
@@DrEarbuds Got it...that was all the lens, I didn't adjust the blur in post-production. In fact, I think I would have failed if I tried, I am terrible at that artful side of photoshop :-).
Wow that lens is crazy sharp!! Beautiful images!
thank you...that lens is pretty awesome.

@@Raychristofer ah I see...then I am humbled by your statement.
That's amazing lens. I wonder how it would do on a APS-C camera (Sony a6600).
I think it would do just fine...I used it on my Sony A7 III and it performed just fine.
@@ErnestoSuePhotography Cool...thanks much!!
Fab images.....that lens is fire ....
thank you
Very dope vid. lens is crazy sharp and @ 1/80 of sec That is nuts. Keep it coming Sir.
Thank you, much appreciated and yes that lens is amazingly sharp.

Will have to try this on my Nikon Z6 that has IBIS. Thank you for the video.
Give a try for sure...I am interested to see how it performs on an IBIS body.
Awesome images and review bro!!
Thank you
@@ErnestoSuePhotography No doubt
Thanks for the video, always helpful. Please do you mind making available any of the RAW images from the shoot? Thinking of getting the lens too and would be happy to see any of the RAW images.
I made one of the images available on my store for a free download.

Ernesto, you are a gifted photographer. You inspire me to continue this journey as a photographer and content creator. The universe is wide open for you . What lens are you filming this video on sir ?
thank you I appreciate the kind words. The lens I am using for the video was the Canon 85 1.2.
The video is gorgeous. Which lens did film this video with. I would love for you to do a workshop in New York.
@@jbthementor4905 I am using the Canon 85 1.2 for the video.
this would work great on my z6 with focus peaking and ibis. Wish we could work together as I am in Raleigh
Yep, that does sound like an awesome combination. Also anytime you want to work that's fine with me.
Ernesto Sue Photography thanks!
Oh man, such a nice video, and thanks a lot for sharing that with us. Ernesto, do you think this lens would be a good option with my EOS 5DS R?
Sure, it can certainly work with the EOS 5DS R. What are you shooting portraits, Marco photography or something else?
@@ErnestoSuePhotography Mostly Macro and portraits...
@@tahersafari3104 then you will be fine with that setup especially if you are shooting macro.
Hi Ernesto, How much did you in the after processing on your shots - or is the shot quality as it came out of the lens (and the camera)?
Go to my store, I have a free download of one raw file so you can see what the image look like straight out of camera.
www.ernestosue.com/store
It would've been cool if it had electronic contacts to use the R manual focus feature.
could you elaborate on that?
All of the Irix still lenses have full electronic communication. :)
@@ErnestoSuePhotography It's the "Focus guide function". It provides arrows and the arrows turn green when focus is achieved without having to zoom in and use focus peaking.
@@Irixlens AWESOME!!! Can't tell by the pictures online.
@@esppics21 it works perfectly fine with what you refer to as the "focus guide function". In fact that is what used I did not zoom in at all.
overprice

Awesome leading lines but maybe to much background blur . Was that your particular shot or the lens ?
