Thanks teacher canoon camera name what is her number version🙏

@jshetley2 2 года назад

It would be great if you did a video on the cam ranger/iPad setup. How to set it up, what s/w you are using on the iPad and so on. That looked really fabulous. Thanks for this video!

@EliInfante 2 года назад

Noted! Dani Diamond has a great video on the cam ranger on his youtube channel. 😀

@stephenboyd9771 2 года назад

Great video! Always cool to see the gear other people use. My top purchases for 2021 were the Canon R5, RF 28-70mm F2, and RF 100mm F2.8.

@EliInfante 2 года назад

I wanted the 100mm RF but I decided to stick to my EF version.

@IvenHolt 2 года назад

Great video as usual man! One future video request - since I am a lover of the Westcott system and having a couple 400's and 200's and an 80.....it would be cool to see how you setup and use the gear across modifiers to make it more streamlined in use! I feel like I'm missing the ability to easily switch from one light to another just due to attachments being different sizes.

@EliInfante 2 года назад

Great suggestion Vic! I'll add that to my to do list :)

@pamouss 2 года назад

Great video Eli. Thanks. My best purchase this year was the R5 and just bought the RF 50mm 1.2 for my portraits.

@EliInfante 2 года назад

Wonderful! My friend Marco just bought the 50mm RF 🤘🏼

@j.peytonphotography7801 2 года назад

Top choices for my business. 1. Westcott/Manny 36” beauty dish. 2. Wesstcott FJ400 and 200s 3 My Sony 35mm Gmaster lens for my SonyA7RIV. It’s my go to lens for outdoor portraits. Honorable mention: Your photoshop action set. Saves so much time editing. Think I’m going to pick up that beige background as well.

@EliInfante 2 года назад

That's a fantastic list Peyton! I would have put the Manny Ortiz Beauty Dish but I got that for free. Happy Holidays!

@PaulSaxbyPhotography 2 года назад

Great video Eli, really interested to see what you did with a beige background, the look is awesome. My top purchases for 2021 definitely the GFX100s, GF 110mm f2 and GF 32-64 f4. Cannot explain just how pleased I am with the quality of both the sensor and the glass, something I could never say about my Canon experience.

@NickDelDuca 2 года назад

100% agree on the 24-105. I just started shooting in a studio and quickly realized that my fast aperture primes I own for outdoor shoots didn't matter because I was shooting at F4-F8 anyways. I was using my 70-200 a lot in the studio but it was really just too big and heavy for a long studio session so I picked up the 24-105

@EliInfante 2 года назад

Great to hear Nick! Love my 24-105mm

@alexanderglockner892 2 года назад

Thanks for that Video. My "best buy" in 2021 is the Sony 50 f1.2 GM - its very versatile - i love it on the A9 ;-)

@EliInfante 2 года назад

I tried the 50mm GM, and I loved it! Too bad I have the Zeiss, or I would have bought it.

@juangarcia1974 2 года назад

I made the switch to RF system and I can't regret at all from 5dmk4 to R6 I have just 4 RF lenses and I'm cover I feel, 24-105, 70-200, 14-35 and 35mm f 1.8 prime, thank you for your videos and feliz navidad!

My best 2021 photography purchases have definitely been the Kobra flash modifier (love that thing), a couple C-Stands, the Canon 24mm 2.8 Pancake lens and the Canon 85mm 1.8. Apertures 1.4 and 1.2 aren't important to me at all. I also bought 3 Godox continuous lights. Too many favorites LOL.

@romiemiller7876 2 года назад

My go-to lens for almost everything is the Nikkor 24-120 f.4. * Beige is good. It translates into a nice grey in black & White. I did buy a 14-24mm f.2.8 this past year that I like a lot. it's a great lens. * I also bought the Godox AD200 to go with my V1 and Nikon SB500 speedlights. Modifiers are all Godox, but I already had them. No new ones this year. The Z9 is on my list, but that may be awhile..

@EliInfante 2 года назад

Great purchases Romie! Let me know how you like the Z9 :)

Zv1, 100-400mm f/5-6.3, glow ez lock soft boxes, 7ft umbrella, savage mint backdrop, Mavic air 2s

Great video as always. My Best Buy’s of 2021 was my Mac mini with the M1 chip, a second z6ii and the 85 1.4. Should have gotten away from Nikon but I’m more deep into it now. LoL

@EliInfante 2 года назад

Very nice! I've been eyeing the new Mac Books lately! 😃

@sandraamato6004 2 года назад

Why do you feel you should have gotten away from Nikon and what would be your go camera system now? I ask becauseI am a Nikon shooter on a crop sensor and want to move to mirrorless, full frame and since I do not have much invested in lenses, I can move into any system. My concern is also cost of lenses moving forward.

@Stefan1968ful 2 года назад

@jesters16 2 года назад

I was surprised by the RF 24-105mm. I agree it is an great lens I own it. I feel it gets a bad rap for being a “kit lens”. I feel like you lose something if you are always shooting at F 1.2 or F 1.4.

@EliInfante 2 года назад

Same! I would have never thought about using the 24-105mm but shooting in the studio changed my mindset.

@MrJueKa 2 года назад

I painted a large wall as a background in my living room studio in such a beige color and it was worth it, if needed I put a fabric of the same color on the floor 😊👍✨ I first selected a suitable fabric and then had the matching color mixed for me by an expert best gear in 2021: my DIY self-standing or mountable black or white v-flats in different sizes to be honest when it comes to my personal wish list, realistic for me and also significantly more advantageous for me overall (lower weight, more compact, praised, also very good): Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III + Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-40mm F2.8 PRO + matching TTL speedlites and TTL radio trigger system

@EliInfante 2 года назад

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave an insightful comment. That painted beige wall backdrop seems like a great idea!

@MrJueKa 2 года назад

@@EliInfante You're welcome ! I think it's good if we exchange ideas, share our experiences and sometimes inspire each other, imo that is also part of photography. Yes, I like this beige, I thought for a long time which color to choose, one that is not boring, looks friendly and harmonious and could fit universally.

@MrJueKa 2 года назад

@@EliInfante purely informative postscript to my personal wish list, because I forgot one item: Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 45mm F1.8 (= 90mm FullFrame) = currently the portrait lens with the best price-performance ratio on the market, according to the results of many serious tests and comparisons, nearly a must-have for every Olympus user as only one result of many positive user comments
