Recording 4k video for soccer and using lenses Forgive me if this is not the right place to ask, but I’m trying to find an expert who understands cameras to help understand my situation.

Soccer fi…

Brand doesn’t matter and price doesn’t matter – all I’m looking for is the focal length and aperture of the lenses and maybe also why you selected them (what type of photography you do) submitted by /u/GRAPH3RofPHOTOS

Prime street shooters, how many lenses do you carry? I’m on a full frame. As much as I would love to carry 3 or 4 of my primes (ideally 16/28/50/85mm, or 16/35/85mm) I find myself more and more going with my main lens on the camera (85mm cause I focus on people) and 28mm pancake just in case I want wide. I think my laziness wins over my fear of missing out, also after few hours of walking around t…

APSC and lenses (quick question) I’ve been using my a6300 for a while now and generally understand the lens situation for apsc and full frame but I am a bit confused about one of my lenses. So my main is a Sony 18-105 f4 which to my knowledge was designed for the apsc sensor. So 18mm is 18mm, 50 is 50… and so on, correct? I have a sigma 16mm 1.4 which I’m not sure if it’s made …

Do all lenses work the same with an adapter? I recently bought a m50 mk2 and also purchased a ef-eos M lens adapter so I could use my old EF-M lenses on the EF-S mount and I had no issues with cropping at least compared to my old camera. So I was wondering if I went and bought a new lens for EF-M is there a chance of it having a crop unlike the others? submitted by /u/king_cole123 …

When I made the purchase, I wanted to stick to Canon lenses, assuming that they perform better than Sigma. I understand that assumption may have been incorr…

Should I work on mastering a 50mm f/1.4 or learning a variety of lenses? I’m new to photography (I only had one class in high school almost 15 years ago). I recently bought a used Cannon 5D Mark III and an EF 50MM f/1.4 USM that I’m really enjoying learning how to shoot manual with. A decent quality zoom lens is out of my budget at the moment, and my understanding is that cheap zoom lenses can be a waste of money. O…
