I’ve just got my first DSLR camera and have been struggling to get my head around the different lenses and exactly what the differences mean.. this explained it perfectly and without overcomplicating things! Thank you 🙌🏻
GREAT ENERGY in your videos! I'm a photojournalist but there's no harm in going back to basics! I started out with a prime 50mm 1.8 lens on my Nikon and was very happy until I was able to afford a 24-70mm zoom lens...but you point out the differences with fantastic skill..keep up the good work!
@@JoshWiniarski I got my First Cannon Mirrorless R10 and this video was very helpful, I have RF55-210 and RF 18-45 as a package, what other beget friendly lenses would you recommend please? My goal is for both indoor and outdoor photos including low light indoor and great day light shooting outdoors and wild life, awaiting your response at your earliest convivence. Also, can you also give tour honest opinion on RF55-210 , RF 18-45 & Cannon EOS R 10 Please, did I made a good choice for my upgrade from using Nikon Coolpix P510 for almost 7 years and getting great shots on it.
Hell yeah quality content! Already knew this stuff but you laid it out in such a nice way I watched through the whole thing! I can only imagine the time and effort this took
New subscriber! I've been trying to get my head around lenses for a couple of months now as my own channel grows! The way you've explained it has made it so much simpler... Now I'll have to go through the rest of your videos! 👍🏼
Thank you so much for making this video! Out of all the videos I watched yours was definitely the most helpful and helped me learn everything about lenses!
Hey I’m trying to start a RU-vid channel man. I’m doing okay with reactions. Only 2 months in myself. I watched your video for help and you did awesome thank you! I got what I needed! Just wanted to say I love how engaged you are and keep it up I see the passion man!
Thoroughly enjoyed your "animated" teaching skills. Have subscribed. You forgot my baby. D60. lol:) Newbie and about to shoot for the stars...Later Dude...
Just found your channel. Great video! Only suggestion I would make is to show an actual image/difference between the two 24mm lens (pancake and L series lens at the end).
OMG! I’m not even half way through this video and I’m educated and entertained much more than most other camera equipment video tutorials out there. I’ll definitely be subscribing and checking out more of your vid’s my friend! Thanks and cheers from Montreal, Canada!
Really appreciate this video. I’ve only recently started becoming a bit more serious about photography and pulled out the Rebel SL1 that’s been in my closet forever. It’s old, but it works with good lenses. I have a couple. I hadn’t realized just how much of a difference IS makes. Wow.
Tysm for this awesome video!!! I'm a beginner photographer, just bought a 40d and a 75-300mm lens and no freaking idea what f/___-___ meant or aperture or shutter speed until I was blessed with this video! You've earned my sub! EDIT: Also good job on the video, I could tell you put a lot of effort into it! Good job. 👍
I looked at the clock literally one second before you said I see you eyeing the clock 😂 Great video just bought a 90d and I'm trying to learn all that I can. I subbed and I'll be watching more of your content!
Very helpful. Thank you for putting this together. Finally looking at upgrading to a solid video camera, and desperately trying to figure out what can deliver the best low light video (Sony AIII? Or was it A7S? Or was that a Lumix?). See, I am a beginner - but this video was a good starting point. Thanks again. Cheers!
Can you make a series, by going more in depth With the effects of changing each etc etc As in Episode 1) focal length Ep 2) aperture Ep 3) Diameter Ep 4) mounts Ep 5) Filters Etc Ofc each episode can be of different length.
Hi Josh I just wanted to ask what lens would be good as I’m new to the whole photography thing and I was going to get the entry level cannon 200D mark 2 and i was wanting to use it for more landscape and portrait photos
Appreciate that you corrected yourself. definitely subscribed because I appreciate that you are feeling to be vulnerable and correct yourself. that's a mentor's mindset.
Hi, great video! I've been trying to start with photography for the last 5 years and I'm always coming back to basics. But this is probably the best video on lenses I have seen so far. Thank you 😉
@kanasts7 so do you have a camera or just thinking about it? I know for me i always wanted one and would see them advertised and anyways wanted one but didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a really expensive one finally after years i ended up taking a photography class at a local college and ended up buying a used body and a lens for a little over $200 man my only regret is not doing it sooner. You really could get a camera for less if you're really watching used ones for sale and if you dont need the newest thing, I went with a canon t2i and a brand new Canon 50mm 1.8 but you could find a used body and kit lens cheaper and honestly wish I had a kit lens. I love my 50mm but would like the flexibility of a kit lens, I know I could buy a used one but for what they go for by themselves I would rather just buy a used 17-55 2.8 but then I debate on a 17‐55 2.8 or to sacrafice a bit of wide angle and 2.8 for a 24-105 f4 which will work on a full frame. I should honestly just buy the 17-55 already or sigma 17-50 i don't think I'll regret it because I could resell and get my money back anyway, and ive rented the 17-55 and loved it!
@@JoshWiniarski Im not camera savvy at all soooo, but I want to get better results from my camera by replacing the kit lens it came with an inexpensive/great lens even if I have to get an adapter and go to A-mounts. Ques: I have a newly acquired Sony NEX-5t that doesn't take good indoor photos (dark) unless theres flashes or auxiliary lighting. Im mainly taking general photography shots, no zoom/wide, some videos...so what are some options? Thanks!
Bro! 😂😂 so crazy. . . Midway through your video (roughly 7:10) when you were talking about auto focus and said “haaaa…(clap) making sure you’re still awake!” Literally, a few seconds prior to that, I had just started scrolling through something else and it actually caught my attention and brought my focus back to your video lol it only felt right that I HAD to because…what are the odds?! Lol I just thought I’d mention that lol Great video, btw!
Any thoughts on Canon M50 Mark II camera with EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM and EF-M 55-200mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM Lenses? Been wanting to get it for videography and casual photography.
Hey bro, awesome video man. Really helped me a lot. One question tho, when you started photography or for someone coming back into photography etc, what lens would be good to get?
It totally depends on the camera brand, camera body, budget, and what you like to shoot. Some of my all-time favorites though have been the Canon 24mm f/2.8, Canon 50mm f/1.8, Sigma 17-50 f/2.8, Sigma 18-35 f/1.8, and Sigma 30mm f/1.4.
What is the importance of the lens diameter? Is bigger better? And is this the definition of full frame versus not full frame cameras? Can’t find this information anywhere. Thanks.
Lens diameter doesn't really matter in terms of performance, and more just comes down the the physics of manufacturing each specific lens. However, full-frame cameras have a bigger camera sensor than crop-sensor cameras which (everything else equal) results in better image quality (greater dynamic range, better lowlight performance, shallower depth of field, etc.). Lens diameter is important to know however, if you start buying filters for your lenses because they need to be the correct size. Hope this helps!
@@JoshWiniarski thanks so much. I’m just getting into this with my 12 year old rebel T3 and I’m finding that one metric is almost impossible to find. You can’t filter on the sites by diameter, and they don’t even mention it in the specs! I’m finding the only way to find it is to hope they have a picture with the number on the lens. Any idea why that’s so hard to find? It seems like a first step in finding a new lens to me.
Just started. Have Canon Rebel T-7 EFS 18-55mm lens. Want a telefoto lens, not doing anything special, just take pictures of life. 11,867 0n iPhone last 9 months. over 800 GB on desktop. not including videos. Saw a video of yours for a $80-$90 model think it was 300 mm ?? Your recommendation ? Thanks J.R. Love YOu videos
If you would like to use autofocus then yes! An autofocus lens is what actually has a motor, moving the glass and pulling focus. A camera with autofocus can NOT autofocus a manual focus lens. Hope this helps!

is the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II Lens compatible with the Canon EOS 200D / Rebel T7 DSLR... Forgive me i am new at owning A real Camera lol never had the money for one so i always just used my phone which is ok...
Hi this video was pretty informative. I am hoping to start my own youtube channel and have a LUMIX GH4. I plan to sit at my desk most of the time and eventually flog. Right now I plan to sit at a desk. I have two lenses. I have the LUMIX 25 0.25m/0.82ft. I don’t know if those numbers represent the F number. That lenses seems too close and I have to be a bit further from the camera. I switched out to my Panasonic 12-35 Vario 1:2.8/12-35 ASPH. 58 POWER O.I.S., this camera shows more of me at 12 and a lot of my background but its not blurred. What lense would you recommend I get for my camera that will give me a wide shot with a more blurred background please?
Way cool josh. I'm a long time Nikon Family cause of what I had to start but I do like Canon & used the classic F-1n w/ FD system and some video w/ EOS-EF. I do use Canon on my video side EF-s is awesome on the M6 w/ EF-m adapter. So many options.
Hi Josh. I would be super grateful if you could advice me on something. I want to photograph my artwork and make huge prints of it (A0 size). I have a budget of upto $2500, though I would like to jee it as low as possible without compromising the quality. Could you suggest a good camera and lens for this?
Great tutorial bro! After about 2 years, I now have a good understanding of camera lenses. This video included pretty much everything I was looking for and then some! And I appreciate your unique sense of humor.
I’m totally new to photography I just bought an eos 750 35mm film camera and a rebel k2 I already know I want an ef 40mm pancake for just regular everyday shooting and group shots if I could only have 2-3 lenses what should my next purchase be? I plan to buy a full frame DSLR later so my lenses need to be good for 35mm film slr and for full frame DSLR when I’m ready I plan to buy lots of lenses later but I wanna know what my first 2-3 should be that’ll cover me for most situations I do want a decent range telephoto lens Also because I wanna do nature shots as well the film I’m currently using is 400 iso color film Fuji superia
So I'm still very much confused but with alot more I formation yet still don't know what works best I'm planning to get a M50 for landscape photography and close "macro" shots and greed kinda kicked in😅 and was thinking of getting both the 50mm and the 10mm Lens but i dont have the buget so I'm still unsure and would appreciate some help
I’m looking to buy a canon eos markii r6. As a beginner, I’m stumped on what lens to purchase. Which lens do you recommend? I’m planning to do Mainly photography of people outdoors. Some portraits, etc...
Glad I found your video, you are awesome Josh. I just bought the R50, first camera and just starting out. I want to have a photoshoot for my clothing online store (photography and video) and would like to know the top three lenses you think would be be for me to get with 1 being the top choice. I don't want to get the EF-S or RF-S just in case I want to resell them. Looking forward to hearing from you. Hopefully soon as I have to get my website up and running soon. Thank you and great video.

I'm currently using a jewellers loupe on back of a smartphone camera for electronics microsoldering. I pinch zoom and get it in focus at about 20cm away. However I would like a recommendation on improving my cheap charlie way of microscope like viewing. I need good magnification, with space enough to solder between lense and object(about 30cm) why can't I just get a simple generic glass lense to get the magnification and focal distance that I want Without spending hundreds on a pro microscope?
I have watched so many videos about lences and didn't learn anything lol but After Watching This video My All Confusions are gone. Thnxx for your effort❤
There’s always that one person who can explain things so freaking well!!!!! The bad part is we don’t find them until I’ve done days and days of research
Thanks mate that was very helpful especially for a biggener like me I have a query though. I am looking to get an a6400 sony. Based on reviews, I made out that a good lens to go with it would be sigma 16mm f/1.4. but if I understood you correctly it would mean that it's good for landscape photography but not portrait ?
Hi i bought a sony a6000 and im looking for a good and cheap lense that is around 17-70mm or 24-70mm i like to shot landscape and portraits. Can u help me find my lense
I need a lens for wildlife photography shoots and normal portrait shoots as well, which lens should i buy? But I also want it to be budget-friendly. should I buy 2 lenses or is there 1 lens? Is buying second-hand good value?
