Well, for me, I really like the 100mm 2.8 macro. It is great for what I do. I am trying like mad to get the SL2 since my other cams often fail me when filming. Their focus goes crazy when filming and as a nature channel, much of my subjects are pretty small. A lot of my videos are viewed by naturalists and students, so I really want to give them good content and quality.

Hi! I'm trying to do some relatively close head shots in video, for youtube. I currently have the kit lens, 18-55mm. do I still need to get a 24mm? is the 24mm wide? I've been hearing for so long to get a nifty-fifty. but it seems the 24mm is better for my indoor use.

I need to make videos where I'm in front of a whiteboard so the focus needs to be able to allow the text on the whiteboard to not be fuzzy. The default lens with the T3I it seems to be unable to do a good job of getting both the speaker and the whiteboard. Any ideas?

Thanks for creating this video. I currently use the Canon EF-S 10-18mm for my vlogs and I love it. It just doesn't take good night/dark videos so I'm looking at the EF-S 24 now. Great video! Please let me know if you know any other good nightime wide angle vlogging lenses.

The 10-18mm is soooo perfect for vlogging ! I bought it before going one month in India and it stayed 90% of the time on my 70d. Definitely recommend it, great focus, great stab, great angle.

I love this channel bro, it's the real deal. I appreciate your thoroughness/research, and ability to communicate potentially confusing topics/terms in super simple terms (i.e. saying "cool blurry effect" instead of bokeh). Really helpful. I just ordered some gear based on the past few videos I've seen and am feeling confident about it which is always a good thing!

Thank you for this video!!! I just bought the 50mm lens and had NO Idea how far I'd have to be away from the camera. But, to my utter shock - after only using the stock lens - I hardly need any light and the quality is INSANE - insanely amazing! :))) I am so happy. But, now need to get a super long mic cord (just bought it) and some other cords and things so I can keep the camera that far away. I am very impressed though. I had so many great lights setup - so many, but they were not enough with the stock lens. Now, I hardly need two basic lights (I have no natural light where I'm shooting) and the video is stunning.

Got a question, I do up close nail video's where you need to see every detail. I have a canon 70d. What would be the best lens for that? I just got this camera and am learning it. Not sure I like the stock lens. It does pretty great but not as focused in as I would like. I need a good lens that zooms in really nicely and clear. Thanks

You don't need expensive glass at all for video. Video is not expected to be as sharp as people only pay attention to things in focus, and everything is so dynamic. That being said, if you want your lens to double as photo and video, and you have a good camera, please look up DXOmark sharpness ratings. My older Sigma 50 1.4 is perfect for video but is trash for photos. I'm into photography (hate video because it's such a hassle). I was raised super cheap and hate spending money more than making video, and I've learned there's no such thing as a cheap lens for photo. For video you can get by because things aren't expected to be as sharp. I shoot on the Canon 5Ds, and I've noticed all my older lenses are not sharp at a 1:1 crop (it's a 50MP sensor..). After some investigation DXOMark lists perceptual MP for each lens tested on a 5DsR. The sharpest canon lens to date is only 45MP (not 50!) at a price of $7000. Most of the L class lenses range from 30-35MP res, and most of the regular lenses range from 18-23MP. So if you're shooting for sharpness, note the quality of your shot really depends on the glass! A lot of my old lenses are not sharp and now I hate them. Upgrading to a 16-35 f4L and a 70-200 f2.8L II. My older Sigma 50 1.4 is only 18MP and is severely disappointing at a 1:1 crop. It holds up at around a 1:2 crop (but is still soft).

Yo, thanks. I've been so confused and disappointed at the quality of video on my canon t3i. Lots of noise and damn near impossible to focus... I've never been much of a gear junkie, either... But feel that the body is solid enough. Might be worth investing in a sharper lens. It sure would be nice to be able to test it out to begin with!

Okay, so you recomment to buy good lenses ? In another words buy expensive lens?cheap lenses dont give you a good photo shapr like expensive one? Just for photoshop? And for videos you dont need expebsive lens right? Ot I miss understood?

Excellent video. You not just talk about what each lens is for, you actually show examples and tell us how far the subject is from the camera, the background and so on. I find too few reviews do this, which is very important to know as most of us are working in small spaces. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing this! I have the Canon 70D for filming my youtube videos. I have been mostly using the 18-55mm lens, but wanted to get that blurry background so purchased the 50mm STM lens. I love how it blurs the background but don't like how the camera has to be so far from me. I've had the 24mm lens in my amazon cart and this video has helped me decide to pull the trigger and purchase it! Thanks Sean!

Yes the autofocus works just as normal when taking photos! I got the EFS 24mm at Christmas - I have a 550d (quite old!) so mine doesn't autofocus in video mode either... You can fit any EF or EF-S lens to your 1200d and they will all autofocus normally when taking photos! (The STM lenses find focus faster, and are quieter, than older lenses) So you're good to go! :)
