And this ladies and gentlemen, is the reason why running out to buy super expensive gear is NOT going to make you a great photographer overnight. Its all about who is holding the camera and how much passion and work you've put into it.

Thank you so much for this! This was very helpful for me with my new lens! I absolutely LOVE your outlook with photography! The emotional aspect and how YOU SEE IT! So many are caught up in the technical aspect of it. It’s all about what YOU Love ❤️ and how you view your photos! 💕

Man this video is like from another world🙏 The calm way u speak with and those beautiful shots makes me relax i swear 😂❤️❤️ Keep it up ❤️

great video my brother, I almost sold my lens, then I decided to use it on my lumix s5 with the sigma M21 and watching your video I'm so excited to use this lens, congratulations on the great work. God bless you .

Beautiful photography and great review! Thank you. 💛

Beautiful images, as always. I love your style and your way of thinking. You sure stretched every ounce of dynamic range out of that old Canon. I'm surprised at the bright cloud detail in some of those images.

Great shots as usual, thanks. This is one of those "absolutely impossible to beat for the money" lenses. Good for fighting the 4k crop on the EOS R as well (can be hacked to fit a 5D IV or SpeedBooster for the GH5 as well) If I don't find a deal on the 16-35mm f/4 IS, maybe I will just get one for the EOS R crop mode, because why the hell not, it is almost given away for its abilities.

Great review!! Really useful to see what you can achieve with this lens in different scenarios! 👏 Thanks for sharing it!

The Dual-Pixel Autofocus has no issues with this lens and works equally fast. :) Money well spent!

Canon 6D II

Hi. I a beginner about lenses and I am searching for wide angle lens. I'm torn (kind of) between the canon 10-18 mm lens with image stabilization but with f/4.5 and 10-22 mm lens but without image stabilization with f/3.5. I dont know if you are familiar of the two lenses but in your opinion, which lens should be better? Thank youu

3 жыл бұрын

The 10-18mm is newer cheaper and has IS, I would go for the 10-18 STM. I got it now for many years and took many images with it, but I also did around 978 Videos on this channel filming my photoshoots with that one lens. I know people who have the 10-22, but I would go for the 10-18. Anyway, both lenses will give you great super wide images, so you are in a win win situation ;)

Great video, really helpful . Just have a quick question though, do you recommended this lens for aps crop sensor camera like Canon 77D which have 1.6 crop factor ? Thanks!

4 жыл бұрын

Hi Supun, this lens is only for crops sensors, it doesn't work on full frame. Although you can use it on the full frame Eos R and RP as the adapter can use EF and EF-S lenses. But in general it was made for something like a 77D :) And for that price it is one of the best super wides available + great AF + Image stabilization.

It is a great cheap affordable small lightweight super wide for apse cameras. at this price you can't go wrong and it delivers really great images. For full frame I love the 20mm f2.8 lens, you will also find a review on my channel with many portraits in it. But in general the 10-18mm STM is a hell of a lens for the APSC system.

Yes you can use it as a super wide angle lens the same way as on apsc cameras with the ef r adapter that comes with the r or rp. But the resolution will be lower than with r or ef lenses which doesn't affect really the image quality or the look.

Can it be use for night photography..?

3 жыл бұрын

It depends - I don't do night photography, so I am not an expert in that. If you want to photograph stars I would go for a wider aperture. If you are on a budget there are some Samyang or Walimex Ultrawide angle lenses with f2.8 apertures. If you want to photograph buildings and stuff then this lens and a tripod will give you great results.

lucky man

I own this lens. How is this possible ! I agree with those architecture and wide shots but some of your images especially first few portraits images have a super bokeh effect and they don't look like shooting from close distance because there is no distortion effect. Only those large aperture lenses can do it. As far as I know the maximum aperture that this lens can produce is f4.5, how did you shoot it so blurry (bokeh background)? Unless you use post-production. Also I saw the small video display in your main video. The lens you used doesn't seem to be this lens. This is a bit misleading for those want to buy it.

4 жыл бұрын

I will take a deep look at it, I did not intend to show images that were shot with another lens. Thank you for noticing, I will take a look at it tonight. Yet, you got many many images here to get an idea of what you can get with an old apsc camera and this lens (or on the r or rp)

Tons of nice pictures, aaaaaaand not a single video sample. I’m throwing a tantrum now and thumbing down

Beautiful images, man, but be careful, distort the architecture is a serious ill attribute of your indoor photography. The magic of the wide lens got you and you can't understand that there isn't at least one interior designer that made the plan to renovate a space based on the room's geometry that pictures have. One advice that I can give to you is study more about interior photography, and after a whyle you will not believe how you are mistakenly shooting now. Scuse me and please don't think that I am making myself a smart pants. Although, thank you for reviewing this cheap lens, on such a cheap camera. My third back-up camera is a 700D, the first back-up is a markIII and the equipment I shoot on is an EOS R. Because we are in 2019. Think about this ;) This movie that I am commenting on is made in 2019, march. Talking about photos with furious noise made with a camera that was lunched in 2013, more than 5 years ago. Meaning 2-3 electronic generations ago... Think about this

5 жыл бұрын

Hi Dip Image, thank you for your feedback and thoughts. There is no need for a newer camera, as not the camera is the tool to take images but the photographer. The Eos R, Mark III, 700D or 550D all do the job. It will just be harder for the photographer on older gear and therefor it is more inspirational when it works. Therefor I embrace old and cheap gear to show that you don't need the new and expensive.

Hope you learned how to edit your own footage by now ;)

My main job is wedding photography, but that has nothing to do with this youtube channel. I just photographed 101 people on one weekend on the streets of Düsseldorf and everybody got all images for free as always. We make a gallery also in Düsseldorf with 101 big printed images and everybody get all their images also for free. I pay for it. That is I think a worthwhile project. I'd love to hear your feedback on my other videos - you will find over 1250 videos which make this channel the biggest photography channel on youtube so far. Love from Germany, Dirksón!
