I shoot with my kit lens on a canon SL2, as well as a nifty fifty, that set up is enough for me right now. I'm saving up some money to buy a variable ND filter for video shooting. This hobby ain't cheap EDIT: nobody is gonna tell if you shot with a kit lens, if the photo is well composed and edited you'll be just fine with your kit lens. Plus, people get more impressed and see more skill when you have a zoom lens simply 'cz it looks cooler
Super content thank you. I'm just getting to grips with the kit lens. I was looking at 3rd party cheap f1.7 lens, too exposed even with ND filter plus I had too many things to think about now as well as automated functions becoming redundant. I realised the limitation was me. Went out for a couple of hours with the kit and returned with some nice shots. Took my time and noticed what I was doing and what the results of that was. In love with my M50 again. I'm sorry we rowed.
Well said Joris! Knowing, understanding and optimising the limitations will give us a decent result though not perfect compared to high end gears. Some experimenting like you did will help us to know our gears better. Keep it flowing Bro! 👊😎
not super related to the video but I currently have the 15-35Rf and the RF 35mm 1.8 for my R. and the 35mm 1.8 macro is the BEST lens ever. super versatile with the half macro capabilities and portraits, to street snaps, and lightweight, awesome for video as well.(and it's the cheapest RF lens) I hope you end up loving it much as I do.
No, at the moment I'm using the 22mm. The downside to that one is that it slims my face depending on how close to the camera I am... never gonna be perfect 😁
It’s only a problem if you make it a problem 😊 It is kinda old, though. Isn’t it like almost ten years old? 🤔 still, doesn’t matter. I’m still using an iPhone 6 and will only buy a new one if it dies...
@@JorisHermans It is a 2011 camera and i only realized how limiting it is when i started to really learn about photography and videography. I am torn between getting a dslr or a mirrorless camera but i am sure that i want a full frame. I want a camera that is going to stay with me for years.
