Cheap lens & pro camera, or cheap camera & pro lens? 

What is the digital rev royalyy free song called? I could never find it. Also u should try formats you've never filmed a video on before like m43. The gx80 i think is a great place to start as it does amazing 4k video for its price.

Based on this video, you can perhaps make other videos like comparing same focal length lenses (say, nifty fifties) over the years, to show how they increased (or maybe decreased) in quality, ease of use and cost-to-performance ratio etc. Same can be done with cameras over the years where the megapixel stays the same (24mp in 2013 vs 24mp in 2023 for example).

Great video and it was nice to see you in front of the camera, but I think more fair comparison will be to pair the R5 with new cheap lens with RF mount.

How about the cheap camera, with the terrible lens, compared to a mobile phone!

Let's hear what your wife's top ten lenses are. We have heard the ones that you like, but maybe she has different criteria.

Bahahaha facts

Yeah and why didn't he say "howdy" ?

Yes correct

No s required after the apostrophe

@@HezyTech 😂 we all love a pedant 🥰

He is Lok )) And just a fun fact: Alamby is married and recently had a kid 🙃

I audibly winced when he set the 28-70 down on the sand

@@bardofhighrenown SAME!!

Too bad there are no cheap cameras today anymore, entry level camers as they were, it's basically out the window... Less and less places even sell new APS-C DSLRs

@@InterMaus the R50 is less than $700, and has incredible specs for what it is.

@@Augnos don't know about you but compared to ~300$ of entry level cameras of yesteryear, that's not cheap.

As a R7 owner (80MP FF equivalent) and a F11 lens i can confirm that

even with 60mp any lenses that are sharp enough won't get diffraction until F11 or so

@@hypeuprise7026 60MP is not much at all

😂🤣. I'd pay good money to watch that!

Or use camera thats from 1995 to pare with 28-70 f2

a fairer comparison would have been as well I think we consider for example the R7 or R10 with a RF-S 18-150 as well as budget lens with higher end camera. Since it was anyways FF vs APS-C i dont see the sense in comparing the worst possible lens from 30 years ago on a R5 vs a pretty decent, not even cheap camera from 2023 AND „superior“ glass All i can say this video is a bit misleading. Cheap glass is not directly bad. I love for example some super affordable, yet very good lenses. And except for a very few lenses (600mm 6.3 zoom and a 135mm 2.8, radioactive vintage lens from the 60s) basically all my lenses are noticable cheaper than my R7 And despite having cheaper glass, none of them is in any way too bad or worse than expensive glass: EF-S 17-55 2.8 IS USM, basically the only good performing „premium“ kit lens we have from canon. Asahi Takumar 50mm 1.4 vintage lens, cheap but awesome (just not too sharp but amazing sharp considering its from 1961 thanks to thorium inside the back element) EF 28-135, especially great on full frame, but not so much on APS-C Sigma 50mm 2.8 macro lenses, partially even 105 or 100mm ones somewhat cheap Canon 70-300 lenses, the older, cheaper 75-300s also on full frame usable and so many more! All of them cost anywhere between 20 to 200$

I was thinking the exact same thing. I don't think it makes sense to compare two lenses for this if one of them is no longer in production and hasn't been for some time.

As long you make up your own opinion for a buying decision then… The thing is, you get a lot of cheap, yet good performing lenses as well, in the canon world just a few i have also experience with: ef s 17-55 2.8 ef 50 1.4 or 1.8 ef 28-135 is usm ef 28-105 3.5-4.5 many vintage lenses many canon lenses in general many 3rd party macro and portrait lenses I personally love a modern, faster body (EOS R7) and to use „budget“ glass like sigma 159-600 adapted or the RF 800 F11 or many listed above. The thing is you should not get too bad glas for a better camera, and this tamron 28-80 is probably one of the worst picks possible (just the raw numbers… over 30 year old KIT LENS for like 10$ or for free compared to a „cheap“ but modern, brand new 700$+ body? mount on the R5 in this comparison even a RF-S 18-150 and its outperforming the 24-70 F2 in most things

Thanks!

That is an excellent suggestion! I am using the new f4 lens and it is very sharp!
