      It depends on the persons style. Originally, I got into photography/videography to capture examples of what Should be seen. Reach, macro, wide-angle, bokeh, AF performance can lead you to select the perfect lens for your task. You can't reach with a 20mm, you can't wide-angle with 200mm. You can't have great portraits unless you smear the background out with f/1.8 and say 135mm. You can't take photos of insects or things super super small unless you have a Macro lens. You can't take a great interior or Huge building exterior w/ little room to stand back unless you are say 14mm. I got a lens for Every single purpose. I used to have cases for Each lens until I got so many I just put them all in 1 bag. I used to carry only 1 lens in a backpack but you are limited to what it does best. I have 2 gimbals for video, a slider, and a Jib. I hardly use any of them anymore. I also have many drones as you need to be able to capture in the air.

    I feel like to described what to get first a little backwards by saying to shoot zooms and then move into primes. I may be an outlier, but I started on a shoe-string budget and found that primes were the more affordable choice for getting those wider apertures that made my photographs look more professional. Then, as I acquired more money, I was then able to afford the Trinity of 16-35, 24-70, and 70-200 at 2.8 that would cover most common focal lengths but still provide a nice shallow depth of field at 2.8. I can’t tell you how many hired shoots I did with just a nifty fifty 1.8 over 4 years as I saved my money for the trinity.
    That being said, I did really love letting friends or family use my gear and when they ask how to zoom, needing to explain that they can walk forward or back.
    Good video though. I enjoyed the perspective from you.

    GREAT! It was super helpful to hear about thinking in terms of focal lengths. I am new to photography and just purchased a Sony a6400 and Tamaron 17-70mm (24.5-105 full frame). You nailed my thoughts exactly when you said for beginners to buy a zoom lens and experiment with various focal lengths. I did not know that I can use Ligthroom to help determine which one I seem to be using more often. One big reason I bought the 17-70 was the constant F2.8 focal length but I can already tell that I would like to have a lens with F1.8 or 1.4 handy.

      a open zoom lens like most will also expose the internal parts as they move out into open air, thats why i would prefer a closed zoom, but unfortunatly they are barely made. The 200-600 being closed zoom pulled me to the sony system as new buyer.

    Yeah, well. It really depends what you use them for. In travel or documental photography I find primes limiting. Flexibility, versatility and speed is what I'm looking for. However I usually have my manual prime lenses (with M42 mount) in my backpack for shooting portraits - if I have time to set up my gear etc., I love to use them.

      Why would you think that a prime lens at x mm is any different then a zoom lens at the same focal length? Modern zoom lenses are so sharp you would have to use a magnifying glass to see any difference in a very large print. It's not like in the '70's when zoom lens were decidedly inferior. Any difference in the photos will be differences in exposure. Or maybe the lens you are comparing are not of similar quality.

    • @joylox
      @joylox Pƙed rokem

      In my experienced, getting used prime lenses, even ones that are 10 years old, are just as good as the new ones. But zoom really suffers when you go with anything older. The exceptions in my experience (with Canon EOS R and RF adapter) is that the Canon EF 50 1.2 L is horrible on new cameras (I went with Sigma 50 1.4 instead) and the Canon EF 70-200 2.8 L is pretty much the same as their new RF version, just a bit heavier and a tiny bit slower to focus. But anything else, go new for zoom and used for prime.

Looking for a telephoto lens now. The EF 100mm f/2 has the biggest chance, but the Irix dragonfly 150mm f/2.8 is also an option despite the MF only. I thought about the EF 200mm f/2.8 but it is over my limit. Also the EF 70-200mm f/4 can be a good option, but maximum f/4 sounds like a kick in the balls đŸ€”

      @@lynettelove191 hey lynette:) happy that you ask / I try to help as much as I can. 24 1.4 must be a beast, but its not that easy to use. Things like distortion if you get close would be annoying for me. And 1 thing, only cause you buy 1.4 doesn’t mean you always use on 1.4 / this number tells only the quality of light and sometimes it just for high range people if you buy the originals. Your right, some of these people use it for landscape, but a lot for people too. But not that way you maybe you have looked for. If you really want that bokeh monster you should get a 85MM. You must only know if you always have that space. That was my problem cause i only wanted own 1 single lens where i can do all my paid jobs like event, portrait and street photography. I was already leaning more to 45-35 cause with this lens you can get the whole scene and still if you want nice bokeh you can get nearer without a big distortion. After having this one for a long time I could afford a second one that was the sigma 24-70 2.8 / I only bought it cause a videographer told me this is the GO lens for paid works. He was right but not totally. I had bokeh, but still for my option not enough, and the low light. I had big trouble at my last event cause it was light like in a cinema without light đŸ€Ł just some spots where with lights.
      This made me buying a 85 1.8
      It’s a great lens now for low light situations and it was close a 3rd price of that sigma. But if you have no space to stand away far enough (~3m) you are Fckd.

You won't be able to see if the photo was done with a prime lens or a zoom, when you use the same aperture and focal length, unless you do things like I mentioned in my original comment.

    Can't go wrong with an 85mm. I also like the idea of keeping an 11mm or a 16mm in there, too. I think the best lens for first-timers is a 50mm, especially over any Zooms. Zooms are better for filming, in my opinion. For photos, primes are where its at. Be sure to do your math if you have a cropped sensor.
    Zooms are much more versatile if you need to constantly change focal lengths but that takes a bit more complex strategy and isn't really suitable for first-timers. I think it is better to develop an eye for one focal length at the beginning because it forces you to learn what f-stops are and how to compose properly rather than simply getting your subject in frame.

  • @lavapedunordarticlesdevapo8495

    I find the modern high-end zoom-lens to be of such quality that the gap between Prime vs Zoom is being very narrow now unless you go with a crappy entry-level zoom or kit lens. That's why my current bag consist of:
    - Tamron 24-70 F2.8 VC G2
    - Canon RF 70-200 F2.8 IS
    - Samyang 85mm F1.4
    The only reason I bought the Samyang was for the F1.4 and have my "official portrait lens" as otherwise I can have the 85mm into the 70-200mm already, and F2.8 ain't that bad already but also that prime Samyang is sooo lightweight and fun to use.

    Ive been a prime lens only shooter for 17 years but zooms have gotten much better recently. I sold my R6 and RF primes and switched to Sony primarily for the upcoming Tamron 35-150 f/2-2.8 Its going to be a prime lens killer, will replace 5-6 primes and have some awesome features like the focus set button. Using the Tamron 70-180 f/2.8 right now and love it.

    • @joylox
      @joylox Pƙed rokem

      That explains a lot actually. I've tried a lot of older, used and adapted lenses from EF to RF for the R and R7, and the fixed ones seem to hold up much better. My favourites being the Sigma 50 1.4 and the Canon 100 Macro. The only zoom lens that held up to a 30MP+ camera that I tried was the 70-200 f2.8, which is known as one of the best Canon lenses, and for good reason. I was really surprised that the Canon EF 50 1.2 was one of the worst lenses I tried with the RF adapter, and that little tiny lens had so much praise when it came out. That's why I love having an in-person store that sells used gear, so I could trade things in and try out lenses on my own camera in person, and get a feel for what it's like before buying it. My dad sticks to Canon L series everything, but they're not always the best choice in my opinion when Sigma, Tamron, and others make great quality lenses. The only downside to me sticking with the R series is that they all need the adapter. But that came with my camera, so it's no big deal to me, as long as I know where it is (usually I keep it on my 50, and swap it as needed).

      While the zoom lenses have indeed gotten much better, the prime lenses also got much better. They have tons of corrections and their sharpness is insane. The implies your prime lens can effectively zoom by cropping, and you will have the same sharpness as the zoom lens zoomed in, although admittedly you will not make the 35-150 range.

    great job! that RP camera produces really amazing pics and when you realize how affordable it is, it's a slam dunk as a starter camera. My primary camera is the EOS R5 which is an amazing camera. I previously had and loved the EOS R (which was stolen which broke my heart but resulted in me getting the R5 down the road). I had the 6D2 which the RP is basically using the same sensor. I still enjoy using the 6D2 when I can't use the R5 but it's like stepping back in time and it does take a bit to remember the DSLR things. I think my combo is also the RF 35 1.8 and currently my EF 85 1.4. someday I'll get the RF 85. 85mm is such a gorgeous look. I just wish people didn't want to do group shots so much which forces my 85 into the bag. If I could do everything in 85, I would though your 100 pics do make me think about 100 and 135.
