Hey all! Of course this video is purely my opinion formed through my experiences. These are the lenses which I think are best. If you have a different idea, if there’s a lens you can’t live without - please do share! On a separate note: Do you like this new format? What do you think of the video being filmed on the road in different locations?

@joaosousa8247 6 лет назад

It's great! Well done. Also, good job mentioning Mauritania, an almost unknown country which deserves more PR. One of my favourite places ever.

Thanks. Absolutely. One of my favorite places too. I get more nostalgic about it as time goes on. :) Looking at those images - feels like a different dimension.

Thanks! f/2.8 is not ideal for me as a prime, the a6500 I mention is not my main can. But yeh, it could be a decent combo.

Mitch - I think this is one of your best videos - you have inspired me to start using my Lumix 20 mm. I have been content with my 14-150 on my Olympus but your shots in this video are absolutely fantastic. I am glad you found some quiet spots so you could finally produce it.

Funny you should say that, I thought the same thing about National Geographic photographers, traveling around the world and taking astonishing pictures. But I learned that we all can take the same type of pictures, as long as you can travel. Mitchell and National Geographic photographers get assignments and are PAID for their work, so they have all the necessary equipment to take their amazing pictures. All I'm saying is that it's like real estate, location, location and location, whenever you travel you can take unique pictures as well. Don't go to the usual locations, go somewhere different. I love history and the middle east. Here you can take amazing pictures because that part of the world is different. It all depends on how comfortable you are in a situation to take pictures. Remember photography is subjective and having the right tools (camera and lens) will enable you to take great pictures as well.

At the outset, loved the format of the video split up over different locations. Much better than having to sit through an indoor location in a cramped makeshift video studio. Equally endearing was the exhaustive, yet to-the-point narrative that kept the listener engrossed for the entire duration. Next up, just loved your photographs, especially when you went candid with the smaller cameras. And finally, fantastic eye for people/ situational photography. Have subscribed, so do keep the videos coming. Thanks :)

Great video and nice to see a pro use micro four third! Used a Canon APS-C in the past and was tempted to go full frame as that's what's supposedly "the best", but ended up with a Panasonic GX8 and the 12-35mm and I'm loving it for the lightness and versatility. Also got a 15mm f1.7 which I find ideal for street photography.

When I went travelling, I shot on the canon 17-55 2.8 with my T2i, it worked fairly well for me. I haven't shot of full frame before, but I can't imagine taking a full frame kit on travelling, it's just too bulky and heavy, makes air travel a bit difficult because of the 7kg weight limit for a carry on.

hey there thanks a lot for your thoughts :D as always amazing photos! Though for APSC i'd recommend the sigma 18-35 f1.8. It is sharp and versatile and really good in low light. That said, it is huge...

@mitchellkphotos 6 лет назад

Hey, yeh, huge and have to adapt it. Unique and great lens, but I wouldn't choose it as the single lens to take with me. Would be more a specialty lens for me.

@thepirateshoots 6 лет назад

agree to Mitch; would never use it as a travel lens, the weight sounds like pain in the back. would use an 18-55 IS STM "kit-lens": lesser weight, very good af system, sharpness a little bit behind the sigma; but what counts more than sharpness at 100%-level is to get the shot; and to get it at the very moment!

@Molybdan42 6 лет назад

Damn, your pictures are so amazing. I have the Olympus mft system and use probably 80% of the time the 12 - 40 mm f2.8 lens. I'm trying to use my primes more, but when you on holyday with family the zoom is more convenient.

@mitchellkphotos 6 лет назад

@dizlys 6 лет назад

Hey Mitchel. Fantastic videos, I love them! This video helped me a lot. I'm planning to buy some good glass for my full frame camera, and I travel a lot as well. I was wondering: Should I use a UV filter on good glass? Or would give the lens hood enough protection? Some say I should not use them because they decrease the image quality, others say I should use them for the protection of the lens. What do you think of UV filters? Do you use them? Please make more videos, I like them. Maybe one about filters....

@mitchellkphotos 6 лет назад

I used to use them, I'm not sure if they decrease the quality notably, but you can definitely get more lens flare. I think Tony Northup did an interesting video on UV filters and their use or uselessness. I don't use them personally these days.

Now that you've had it for a while wht do you think about the Sony 20mm? I love that it's a pancake but from what I've seen it doesn't exactly wow in the sharpness department. Also the f2.8 bit is disappointing but the only other option I've seen is a sharper and unfortunately larger sigma 19mm f2.8. Sony seems weirdly lacking in this particular department.

@mitchellkphotos 5 лет назад

You are right that Sony is lacking in this department. It was a decent lens, but I've since sold the camera and the lens because I got an a7III. I have way too many cameras, so I sold some, gifted some. For the full frame Sony, I feel that the 28mm f2 is very decent.

@prithvim7 6 лет назад

I've seen that Fuji beats sony in crop and performs almost equal to full frame at noise/DR

@JKPhotoNZ 6 лет назад

The Sony is a good choice where quality and low light matters, but the issue is size - It's just as big as a similar Canon. FWIW, I'm trying to decide if I should leave Canon for a Sony A7III or Panasonic G9.

@danyalOFF 6 лет назад

nothing special with Sony. Yes, smaller then DSLR, but last versions of lenses as big as lenses for DSLR. and it's very uncomfortable use huge lenses with small body

@Minoritynomad 6 лет назад

24-105 by far. Rarely take it off my camera. I would say 60% of my port is shot with a 24-105. Majority of the rest are low light primes.

@mitchellkphotos 6 лет назад

Great reach, but surely the aperture is limiting?

@Ron_the_Skeptic 6 лет назад

How is f/4 limiting? It is 1 stop less light than the f/2.8 of the 24-70, and because Canon views it as a "movie" lens it has excellent stabilization. Obviously there are times an extra stop of shutter speed will help with motion and you can't get quite as shallow depth of field, but in low light you get an advantage of two or three stops less shutter speed because of the stabilization. I suppose it depends on what type of travel you do and what your goals are. Those I travel with want portraits of themselves, with a sharp background, or at lease a recognizable background -- "here I am at _________, standing in front of the _____________". If I'm going to blow out the background to the point of a few random shapes and colours, I might as well invite them into my studio and shoot them in front of a backdrop with an 85 mm f/1.4 on a 5D or a 1Dx. I wish Canon would put a stabilizer into all their lenses because wedding venues are often pretty dark and three stops of stabilization on an f/2.8 lens would beat three stops of stabilization on an f/4 lens, by about a stop.

@mitchellkphotos 6 лет назад

RonThePhotoGuy you mentioned the reasons it's limited yourself. ☺️ The fact that you don't need shallow DOF doesn't mean that it's never needed. And yes that 1 stop can me the difference between a photo and something blurry and unrecognisable.

@kost.9423 6 лет назад

And you switched to m4/3? Lmao! You need 12-35 f/1.4 lens to have the same shallow dof and low light performance on moving objects, like humans! Quest what it doesn't exist and if it would, it would be about the some size as an 24-70 f/2.8 full frame lens and probably more expensive.

@SauravDasGuptaIN 6 лет назад

I agree with 24-105 for travel, more versatile . f/4 is not limiting at all, especially with modern days cameras when you can really push for high gain (ISO). Now about DOF, photographers in the past have taken wonderful images with f/3.5 primes that still look wonderful. People really need to overcome the 'bokeh' fetish and concentrate more on composition. And especially for travel, I don't see a point Just add a fast prime (28/35/40/50) in very low light/street scenarios

one of the first honest videos about the topic... I feel like everybody is trying to convince people to buy into their system, but your video is very objective

@mitchellkphotos 6 лет назад

Thanks. I tried to make it system independent despite having my personal favorite. Ultimately the system doesn't matter, but some lenses, like I mentioned do translate from system to system.

Great video! I have been shooting with the Fuji 23mm f2 lens (35mm equiv) for over an year and it’s definitely improved my creativity and composition skills! Instagram @shutterzup

So glad I came across this video. A m43 camera was my first foray into photography. Recently I bought a FF Sony, and I'm loving it. I still can't justify giving up the oly epl5, it's just so small and convenient. I like to use older manual film lenses to keep the size down too. Your shots are fantastic, no matter the system or lens. Photography is always 90% the person behind the lens!

@mitchellkphotos 5 лет назад

Thanks very much for your comment. Yes, Micro 43 cameras are awesome because they are so small. There are some drawbacks and you can't do some things with them that you can with a FF, but, I'd say for most cases they don't matter.

Being a newbie in photography, I ended up getting a Tamron 16-300mm VC Macro for my APS-C camera, mostly because I didn't know any better and wanted one lens to give me tons of options. It turned out to be an amazing purchase for a 1st lens. Has Image Stabilization, I find it very sharp in comparison with the Canon kit lens, it's extremely versatile, the 26mm-480mm range offered by the APS-C sensor makes it a godsend shooting both wildlife and landscapes. Only problem is shooting indoors and low-light, but at the same time it forced me to be creative and study the location to understand where the sources of light are and how to use them more effectively. It was (and still is) an education in one single lens. And I also got several photos I'm really proud of. Also, I must say, really happy to find your channel. Really useful advice and amazing work. Keep doing it, plz!

Amazing video mate! I also use the 17mm a great deal. While I now have the Olympus 17mm 1.2 I still hold a special place in my kit for the 1.8 as it is just so small.

@Pattybfeliz 5 лет назад

Totally agree! I have the Sony A7R2 and my favorite walk around lens is the 35mm 2.8. It's like a little pancake lens. I can throw camera w lens in my purse and off I go. If I need a close up, I can always switch to the 85mm, 1.8. I love the freedom even though I might not get the reach for a few shots. Love your photography and have been following your for several years. Enjoy the ride.

I had the same experience with small cameras vs large. I make yearly trips overseas and three years ago my camera was a Sony APSC with the kit lens (16-50mm, 24-75 ff equivalent). Not the sharpest lens, but it was small. Combine that with silent mode on the Sony and I got great candid shots. Fast forward to my las couple of trips, and I am at a Sony full frame with the 24-105. The quality is much better, but I just can’t come away with as intimate a shot. I think for travel, I am going to go back to a crop sensor Sony and I’ll take your recommendation to get the 20mm for it.
