It's crazy how this kind of information that is being put in a comprehensive and fun video where otherwise you'd have to open books and read to understand, is free on youtube. So so so grateful!
A recommendation that I have been hearing for many beginning filmmakers for early lens choices is to try and get a 16mm-35mm zoom lens, a 35mm-70mm zoom lens, and a 70mm-200mm telephoto zoom lens. As explained in this video, the idea is that with these three lenses you pretty much cover the near full range of focal lengths you'd mostly use in different movies and while zoom lenses do have the disadvantage of often having changing focal lengths, not being as sharp, or having apertures really geared for low-light, you at least have the advantage of having quick and handy resources for quickly changing focal lengths and doing otherwise guerilla filmmaking.
This is the most comprehensive guide video on lenses, that I've ever watched on KZhead. It summarized the four years I have spent on KZhead watching and learning about lenses. Great video, guys.

💯 % iagree
I'm just beginning in photography but the videos on this channel are helping me understand the basics of telling a visual story and teaching me the basics of how cameras work and other stuff like that
Excellent video guys. Lenses and their numbers very clearly and simply explained (they've always confused me). I feel like I've just woken up to lenses. Huge help. Thank you so much! Subscribed :)
Okay time to get a little sappy I inherited my grandmothers camera and have tried for years to learn how to use and understand it and your channel has taught me so much in such a short amount of time thank you guys from the bottom of my heart! ♥️
Finally! Through this video, I have learnt completely about lenses and which one to get started with!! ❤
I did a photography course in college many years ago (in the UK) and i remember bits and pieces. This has helped bridge the gap, bringing me not only back to speed but also into the here and now. Since it was over 12 years ago!
This is really an excellent, helpful guide. You explained what can be a very confusing part of photography in simple, easy-to-understand terms. Really appreciate this.
One of the best vids on explaining lens. Really learned a lot. Haven’t decide what camera brand to go with though. Really a-lot of good choices. I believe the most important thing that I got from this video is “what will you be shooting?” Thanks for the help
Guys you are the best content maker on YT in this field, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge
You guys do a terrific job breaking things down, thank you !
Man, awesome review. I’m not a newbie and still watched the whole thing. I did start with my Kit lens on a 5D MII, after upgrading from a 40D years ago. Now my work horses are my EOS R5C and the 5D MIV. Native lenses for the RF but still using My EF collection. Thank you for the video.
Absolutely love this, took a complicated concept that costs a lot of money and got me going down the right path, thanks!
Another thing to cover is the fact that lenses are now typically electronic devices themselves, connected to the camera, with functions that can be manually adjusted or by the software. Sometimes those extra features are super useful to know/have.
The best video ever about lenses, it's a real reference
Guys !! This is a very informative video. Great work! Thank you ! And keep them coming !
👏🏼thank you guys!! What an amazing explanation for beginners on what a lens can do with regards to their specs and where to start, especially to someone who knows nada! I never comment on videos but felt compelled to comment on this! Subscribed and think I need to join your online course to learn more! 🙌🏼
Great video. Third party options are always boss. And that 24mm Viltrox…. Wow! I am impressed
Very comprehensive description of common lens and f-stop numbering . Thank you!
Great video and timing for a beginner to understand lenses 🔥💙
Absolute gold mine! This video alone helped me understand lenses and I’m subscribing ✅
These videos are great - I’ve just subscribed to your online course having watched two of your videos here that give me the confidence to purchase!
Thank you so much for the lessons!
Thank you so much, I have used cameras shooting for long and moreover professional videos but I had not understood these things. I have no reason to search anymore, thank you fro being so generous to give out such information. God bless you
I feel like I just got out of a class. What a great video, explained to detail, short and simple. Thank you so much! +1 sub
Thank you so much for the explanation, it helped a lot more than you think.
I can't wait to suscribe to your website. I'm learning so much with you guys thank you so much!
Got all my doubts cleared! Thank you!!!
thank you guys sooo much for this video, subscribed !
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This is the video I have needed!
Really really incredibly informative video! Thank you so much guys!!
Love it!!!! THANK YOU for this video. I just bought the Sony FX6 body only and need to learn and understand lenses. This gives me a HUGE knowledge boost in the simplest possible explanation. Also, I love that this is Christian based! I’ll be buying the film classes VERY SOON! (Broke at the moment bc of the camera purchase lol)
Thanks for this awesome and informative video. I just bought an Olympus Pen E-P7 on black Friday. My first ever mirrorless camera. I have two lenses for it. The kit lens and a Helios44m. And from my beginners perspective you are absolutely right. For a pro or semi-pro user a kit lens might be the first thing that will never be touched again after unpacking the camera, but for an beginning, if you just start, use it. It's great. I do like the pictures I take, I would say I am as proud of them as I would be on my first born🤣 Especially the ones I took with the helios-lens. Manual focus is quite hard, especially if it's sunny and I don't have a viewfinder. I have more fun with my camera than I expected. And I take a lot of pictures now even though I bought the camera for filming in the first place 😁🤣
Amazing as always!
good advice at the end there. don't underestimate your kit lens, I know that desire to get a new/better lens but I spent a year with my kit lens before I bought a 50mm and that was the best thing I could've done, right next to choosing a 50mm as my second lens. next I'm definitely getting a decent zoom lens.
You guys are amazing ! great explanation :) thank you so much !!
U guys are simply AWESOME 👏🏻👏🏻💕🤩
Thanks for making this easy to understand!
Thank you, this was very helpful!🌻
I have absolutely zero knowledge of photography. But after watching this short video, I feel like I could teach someone about photography now🤣. Good job guys! I am planning to get into photography, and this video just was all I need for an introduction.
excellent video. love the no nonsense approach
Informative, Educational, and Just Dope in General.
Great comprehensive information brilliantly explained. New sub 🤙🏽
This is a great video. The numbers used to be so intimidating to me. Now I understand. Thank you
this was phenomenal knowledge, kudos to you guys
Beautifully explained ! Thank you
I have tried my best to find out in this topic,. But finally got one video perfect, that's this video ❤.
Thank you for your complete and comprehensive trai
Great Video!! I Hope one day you'll talk about Sliders (and Motorized Sliders).
excellent video, your explanation is so clear and easy to understand, please cover more about sensor, sensor sizes, crop factor, lens mount, etc and their connection to the lens
My camera has an APSC sensor. The main 2 lenses I use are the 18-35mm f1.8 and the 50mm because of the crop the 18-35 is actually 28-56mm. my 50mm 1.8 is actually 80mm. I use the 10-18mm which is actually 16-25mm as my wide and the kit lens 15-45mm which is 25-72mm when I need to.
Nolan effect
I think the crop factor only comes into play if you use a full frame lense on the APSC sensor.
@@jamerv777smerf hi. Actually the crop is on the sensor itself. What ever the focal length is, you need to multiply the mm with the sensor crop factor
@@samt8017 thx for your response! so when they say for example get a 50mm prime are they referring to full frame? Or just 50mm prime in general? I'm looking to get the sigma 18-50mm f2.8 zoom lense to replace my kit lense and maybe one or two lenses from the sigma trio. Please help lol I'm an artist so I do music vids and photos for myself.
@@jamerv777smerf the focal length is based on the lens itself relative to a full frame sensor. A canon apsc sensor has a crop factor of 1.6. The effective focal of the 50mm would be equivalent to an 80mm. The 18-50 f2.8 is a good choice, this would 28.8-80mm. My set up mentioned is the sigma 18-35 which is 28-50. This covers 2 of the 3 trio and is a lower price because the aperture is 1.8 instead of 1.4. Changing lenses can be a pain. I also have the 50mm which is my 80mm. Basically I only change lenses once if needed. For wide shots (16-20mm) is what’s best. I use my sons Dji pocket 2 has it is an actual 20mm and take great wide angle stabile shots. The sigma trio is nice, but you would be changing them often or, you can use the 35mm (56mm)on one camera and the 50 (80mm) on another. I use a steady cam and an electronic gimbal when shooting almost anything including music videos. With the 18-35, I never have to re-adjust the steady cam because the zoom is internal and therefore the lens does not get longer or shorter messing up the steady cams balance. Ill use the 50mm on my secondary camera and that its on my gimbal.
WOW! YOU'RE ROCKING! AMAZING TEAM!

Thank you for this lesson
Thank you for sharing!
Guys, this is so informative
Saw this video; subscribed after.
I am really getting mental about which camera lens i have to use past many years. Now i got clarity on which one i have to buy.
I have the kit lens 18-55mm and the 50mm prime. I think I should by the 75-300mm next for my nature photography. Sometimes I couldn’t not reach my shot with my lenses. Basically theres a cliff or terrain in my way. Thank you for the lesson
I think you will need a lense that can go up to atleast 600. I have a 100 to 300 lense and the birds are still evasive.
Thanks for a great summary
Wait is that Lecrae I see in the video?? And is that footage from 'The chosen' I see....New sub here am in awe of all this knowledge drop . Thank you 😊
