This gentleman needs his own television show. The clarity about how he explains the most complex things is almost an art form. Let me go and get my kit lens and leave some of these expensive lens home🤣😎. Lol
He is probably not that much wrong in some cases.
I had for years a 18-55mm kit lens (the time before IS or STM was in them!), all the other lenses i had were prime macros, a telezoom and so... not really a lens which could replace the "standard" focal range of the kit. So despite having a few more expensive lenses, i often used only the kit lens because the other ones had more or less special cases i didnt need at this events.
But looking behind - i guess its still (next to a fast, cheap 50mm prime) somehow needed at the point you know you like photography that you search as fast as possible for a kit lens replacement. Doesnt have to be any 24-70 L or so, but at least something with better IS and proper USM, bigger aperture (with probably more blades) and if possible better imaging quality than the kit.
I personally still am looking (since nearly 10 years, lol) for a proper "universal" lens with a useful variety anywhere between 15-80mm and GOOD imaging quality, upgraded already twice (first to a 28-105 USM, then a 28-135 IS USM) but these lenses are barely better than the kit lens (when it comes to image quality, anything else is "superior" like superfast AF, more zoom, bigger aperture, etc)
Agree! I'm setting aside my others for now and digging the kit lens out.
He has a photography course online. It’s $19 a month. I’m taking it
Agree. I took his course and was blown away by the quality of the course his mastery.
Nice to see someone not telling the beginner to invest in lenses but to improve by investing in taking images to build experience & understanding. Clarity of explanation, even after 30yrs of semi-pro photography I felt I understood stuff even better!!
I watched a video by a very famous photographer recently where he was asked about portraiture for beginner photographers, and he used a 100mm 1.8 lens in his explanation.
The only thing I thought throughout the video was: what new photographer is going to own that lens right off the bat?
Your video is much more sensible, and it deserves more views.
I agree, I just got my nikon d3400 and been watching videos all over CZcams for like an intro for beginners and THIS IS THE MOST USEFUL AND INFORMATIVE ONE.
100mm will be a great lens for a beginner who wants to get into stalking
@@UltraNyan stalking with a 100mm???? You have much to learn
Yea fuck that famous photographer
@@shaolin95 hold my 800mm lens
I love the way he explaining everything. Amazing!
Slowly & calmly
🤘❣️
No doubt that’s why I couldn’t resist but to subscribe. I’m just starting out and want to learn as much as I can quickly. The way he explains it really helps.
I love ur comment
I just wanna say that your coolness and unhurried demeanor is really helping me understand all these photographic jargon and truly inspiring me to venture more and more into photography. Hence I enrolled in your first online class and hopefully have the budget for the other classes. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

I am a professional photographer and have been for years, and STILL use my Canon 18-55mm kit lens at times, and have gotten some great photos with it.
Revisiting this video, because I just picked up a used Nikon D3400 camera that came with this 18-55mm kit lens, and your tips are right on time! This compact lens is super sharp and compact, and I'm LOVING it! Thanks again for this tutorial...
You have simplified the basic photography concepts much easier and understandable.Thanks.
He always make some photo jargons easier to be understood
This. This is what all beginners need. Hands down
Thanks! We're glad you think so :)
Now this is a video that was actually helpful. Simple, easy to understand and not intimidating for a beginner like me. Most other videos make it seem like my kit lens is not even worth using.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, Mark! Waiting for my friend's old canon D70kit to arrive. I'm the very beginner in digital photography, but your videos make me more enthusiastic and self-confident.
I've seen many photography videos but THIS ONE has been the most enlightening. "Thank you"
the simplest way of explaining the complex system of a digital camera .. Great job !!!
EXACTLY!!!!!
I love your video tutorials, there is aura of calmness yet information packed which makes u feel stay and listen. Thanks
This was super helpful for a newbie like myself. Thanks for not just dismissing a kit lens and helping people use their tools
I love how he explain everything with less jargon terms. Subscribing!
You’re such a great teacher! Better than my math teacher. Lol I love how calm your delivery is. There are ideas that I have come to know only through this video so thank you!
I really like your relaxed attitude in explanations that others seem to quickly gloss over. Straight talk and to the point. You must have thousands of subscribers! Nice.
Thank you for actually focusing on the camera instead if editing like so many people do.
I got my first SLR, a Petri Flex IV 35 mm, back in 1967. Had to do EVERYTHING manually, including light metering. Even with all my “years of knowledge” [hah!] I still learn something new from your videos. Keep up the great work, and Thanks!!
This is by far the best TUTORIAL FOR BEGINNERS. Simple and easy to understand.
Thank you very much clear concise instructions that a novice like myself can understand.
Really loved the video.. the way You explained focal length, Aperture etc was amazing and easily understandable. Thanks
Good explanations about basics I learn with my first camera 40 years ago, a TLR Rolleiflex 1937 and you know, some basics will never change no matter if you use film or digital cameras. And beautiful towns and places in a country I love (Mexico).Congrats good videos.
A Rolleiflex is a cracker of a camera. I had a Yashica 635 TLR which had an adaptor to allow 35mm film to be used as well as the 6X6. I even tried using a polarising filter on it which is a bit complicated 😂. Then there’s the first time I tried to take a photo of a moving subject and seeing it disappear 😂😂. I love their whisper quiet leaf shutters and the shutter buttons so light and easy to press that camera shake is reduced. They draw a fair bit of attention too.
Really loved the way you explained the technical stuffs of photography. Easy to understand. Thanks
You are a good teacher! I like the way you explain.
I've been watching different photography video.... but your videos are more understandble!! Precisely delivered. Thank you Sir!
Great advice and tutorial. Most people skip their kit lens without knowing what its capabilities are. I take wonderful shots with my 15-45mm on my M6.
So good to give beginners the best advice!
I'm very happy since I discovered your CZcams channel and great videos. I got a Panasonic lumix dmc fz50 as a gift and had no clue how to use it. After using a simple Nikon COOLPIX for years I was left in a total blur.
Since I learn from you my camera isn't on Auto mode and became my best partner during outdoor shootings.It's really fun to apply what I learned. Thanks for making things simpler. 🙂
Thank you..
I will apply this with other lenses too.
Your awesome my friend, thank you so much for all your advice
The best tutorial on youtube, very well done!
Finally, found the best tutor 😍. Loved the ideas shared. Thank you !
Great advice. I've always been amazed by the quality out of some kit lenses. I've gotten some really great long exposure shots at night with my canon 18-135mm. They were cityscapes
This was absolutely amazing. Thank you for this educational video.
Thanks for this video. I'm a beginner and only have a kit lens, but I'm happy to learn and use it till it last. I'll be a student in your photography course!
The way you explain things is really good. Thank you
I'm really love this guy personality 😁
I have a Pentax 18 TO 55 mm and it's amazing , great for everything.
Very lucid and clear explanation. Helpful indeed for any level of photography.
It is the first time when I see some realistic advices about taking photos with kit lens. This video really helped me to understand some principles about making portrets and how to use the standard lens from the camera in a better way than I have used before.

During this quarantine is good to hear your voice. On top, a realistic approach to investing is new lens. First walk, then run. I notice that Canon is your choice, I've just bought a new Sony A7III, perfect pictures but lack of that creativity touch Canon brings in my opinion.
Just got my camera and will be leaving soon for vacation..this is such a great help as a beginner. Your tutorial is easy to understand. Thank you!! Btw, i subscribed in your channel and will be watching more of your tutorials.😊😊😊
Easy to understand, you explain it perfectly
It is always so rewarding to watch your videos. Your way of telling, talking is an addition to the info you share and impart.
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you , for the explanation. very crisp and clear
I survived on my Olympus kit zooms for a long time. I now have higher grade zooms and a few prime lenses, but I still use the kit lenses too. They tend to be smaller and lighter than their more expensive siblings.
Hiii!!!! I think this the only channel that gave me the best. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Such a simple way of explanation. Great job. Keep up the good work 😃😄
Enjoyed every minute of it
It seems that I've been a newbie photographer for about 8 years now hahahaha... I love the way Mark takes the time to explain what's happening inside my camera and now even with this short video, I think my pictures are going to turn out a whole lot better.
With that being said I'm going to join up just so I can better understand the photo jargon and also what my settings are for. I only have an Olympus e-520 but it's been great for what I've been doing so far.
Thanks Mark your patience in teaching is second to none and I look forward to seeing more instructional vid's
Merry Christmas from Vancouver Island Canada everyone.

Great video, very informative and unpretentious. I love learning how to use what I've got, I can discover its limitations and base my next purchase on that. No sales pitch here, wonderful.
Beautifully explained! Thank you 🙌
Great video! Most CZcamsrs got el you the best is a 50mm lens or so... but give me hope with the kit lens 😆 which is what everyone gets when they first get their camera.

Excellent you make everything easy to understand thank you so much for sharing.
I want to say thank you for uploading this video. I have been using a point and shoot for many years and now I have just purchased my first DSLR nikon 3500 with a kit lens 18 to 55. I have been watching other photography videos and the were featuring this lens. However all they could do was talk down on the lens because it was so "cheap". I am still learning photography and this camera was a big investment. Those videos made me feel pretty low for buying such a lens. Your video was so much uplifting and I felt good again for getting the camera. The camera will be here in two days and I'm very excited. Thank you again.

Awesome tutorial. Thanks for the tips
Thanks for your great video tips.
The kit lenses can be great. I've actually used them to successfully photograph an entire wedding. I can't wait till I have enough to purchase a 24-70 F2.8 for better quality what I was able to do with the kit lens was still great. No I am not a pro and likely never will take that step but still I am enthused enough to have shoot over 100,000 photos over 14 years.
MyDigitalParadise I've used my 18-55 for a good bit now for sessions, engagements, and even sports.
How, in anything but decent sunlight I have to crank my iso and end up with grainy photos
@@maxwell5428 Because most of the wedding was in good light and when it wasn't I used my flash. I never said it was as good as a F2.8, just that used right it can be a "good" lens. Never said it was the best.
By far the best review I have seen.........Well done
Thanks, Mark. New to me: find the sweet spot in your kit lens. Much appreciated.
Wow great tips for blur backgrounds. Thanks a lot. Already subscribed. xx
One of the best video ever❤
Now I understand, very clear explanation of how a camera should work

Good info! I've just ordered this lens to see what kind of photos I can get with it. A 24mm lens works great for most of my walk around photos. The low light limitations can be reduced with a higher ISO which I know will increase the noise but in black and white It may add an old look. Just ordered the Canon 17-55 which has great reviews but at a high price tag. Maybe I should have went with the Tamron. I have a A.A. Degree in photography but am always reviewing basics and any knowledge that will make me a better photographer.
i just bought my girlfriend the canon sl3, and it came with the 18-55 lens. Is the 17-55 much different? if so, what's the difference?
I have that exact setup. Thank you so Much. I learned something new about my camera. Which means better pictures :) Thank you
You're most welcome, glad we could help! :)
Thank you some wonderful tips and facts in this video!
