This is a fantastic video that is actually useful and informative. Love to find out about new gear I never knew existed like the domke wrap and sunset projection light. Thank you.
The Tamron 17-70 on Sony APS-C does pretty much everything I need in one package. I still reach for my Sigma f/1.4 trio of primes in lower light or for the depth of field, though.
Hi Caleb! @dslrvideoshooter, how can this be used to pass the audio through the 32bit recorder and into professional cinema camera directly, that have a 3-pin or 5pin xlr input? Do you think that would be possible?
As a brand new content creator whos come from a military background and is pretty clueless when it comes to cameras.. I'd love a bit of help from a legend in the comment section! I film follow along mobility routines, either in my apartment or in a gym. Sometimes I have limited space if i am in a smaller place (so i guess a wider angle might help?) Would the Prime lens you recommend do the job? Thanks so much!
wow.. just whoa.... setup on steroids... i can only dream this!!!! can you come over to my office and set this up free of charge? beers and pizza on me! ;)
Given the particular two lenses you recommended, I wanted to see you compare the Tamron at 35mm/f2.8 against your 35mm prime at f1.8. While I have that same Tamron lens you do, as well as lots of primes, I tend to reach for the primes more for longer focal lengths, like 50mm & 85mm. My 28mm prime usually doesn’t get used because I’ll opt for the Tamron 28-75 instead, and the prime produces less noticeable of an advantage, seems to me, when shooting wider.
For a photographer who also takes portraits, you will never be satisfied with a 70mm 2.8 long edge, or a 35mm, especially 1.8. I can understand a 28-75 f2.8 and an 85mm 1.4.....maybe a 1.8. If you photograph people, 85 tr should be in your bag.
i start photography in 2012. since then i have all kind of lens, a little greedy here i know. but now it all comes down to these two, 50mm and 24-105 F4 is the better option. you can shoot anything anywhere.
Pre-COVID videos just seem different, like people didn't know what was about to happen and they are stuck in that mode which seems a bit jarring when you watch it in 2024
Great video! I just got the Canon RP because everything else in the full frame scene started from 200% of the price of it brand new with mostly enhanced video features that I don't care much about. It also doesn't worth spending 1600$ (R8) instead of 800$ for better ISO performance for me. I was evaluating more professional options as well, weirdly EOS R is still being sold but R6 mk i is not.. I really believe that I don't need these shiny extra features (better AF is nice though!), but for a small extra I would have been happy with a sturdier, weather sealed body, optional IBIS, but not for 200% or 300% price. Got a bit scared that Canon will discontinue the RP soon and I'll be in a situation again where a new FF body will cost me twice the money that I'm spending now. So the body is definitely BiS for me after using a 7D for half my life, I really like the grip of it, the weight, I'm even surprised by the quality of the EVF, menu is familiar, IQ is great. I also got the RF 35mm 1.8 which is awesome. On the other hand I refuse to hand out an awful lot of money for "crappy" / slow RF zoom lens and especially thousands of $ for fix aperture when we'll eventually get these Sigma / Tamron lenses... But until then, I'm trapped with Canon's RF ecosystem unless I'm ok with using used, huge EF lenses with an adapter instead of the newer, smaller form factor. 🤦♂ I still think I did the right move with the RP, I'm not a professional and I can wait for the RF full frame licenses, we already have the RF-S ones.. But I'm in a pinch with the primes currently, I wouldn't really touch 24mm, 50mm, 85mm and so on if I had a 2.8 zoom lenses to cover the FOV. I might buy the 16mm, but I might also just wait and have fun with the 35mm, it's a new focal length for me and everyone seems to be in love with it. 🙃
When you buy a new camera, do you put any sort of protection on it? A silicone skin, or a monitor screen cover, etc.? I just bought a Sony A6400, and this video was very helpful! Thanks!
