I have a couple primes 24mm with 50mm and the 10-18 also 55-250 I'll add a couple more primes later on. But feel I'm in a pretty good spot with what a have now.

Thank you for your great review of one of my favorite lenses. I like the 18-135 lens because of its wide range of focal length, 18 is wide enough for group shots and 135 is a good distance zoom. It is also light in weight and easy to carry along for travel or street photography. Sharpness is good, not great, but with the use of Lightroom, sharpness and clarity could easily be enhanced. The Image Stabilization is very helpful for handheld shots and can compensate for the use of a slower shutter speed needed in dark surroundings or indoors. I have the first version of this lens and I paired it with my 50D. It was a great match and I hardly took it off this camera.

Bruce - Really enjoy the clarity of your videos! I have a Canon APS-C camera (M6 MkII) but I am an old Nikon 35mm film guy. I have not yet achieved the satisfaction of sharpness in detail I had expected with my APS-C. I guess I'm looking for that Full Frame quality - out of something 2/3rds or 3/4ths the size. If I want to buy another lens to achieve that... what would You suggest? Canon EF-S? Canon EF w/the adapter? EF-M -- Like the 55-200? (I already have the EF-M's: 32mm F/1.4, 18-150mm, 15-45mm & 22mm). Or maybe Sigma 24-105mm F/4? I know too many choices... but it sounds from your video... that is Not the EF-S lens (or therefore likely the EF-M's either). So that leaves the EF's with Adapter or the Sigma's???

My Canon 80d came with this lens as part of the kit, but I would like to go with a prime lens, but I'm not sure which lens to go with. I already purchased a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM, so now I was thinking about a Sigma 20mm or 24mm f/1.4 or the Canon 24mm f/1.4, what would you recommend? I did purchase a Canon ef 50mm f/1.8 STM lens, but after a trip to the aquarium it was hit or miss on getting good shots in low light, and the quality was definitely noticeable between the lenses. When I purchased my camera, I didn't want to spend a great deal at the time, but now I can actually invest in something better, I would say a good price range is $500 to $1500, but would like to stay towards the lower end of that spectrum as possible since this is just a hobby for me.

Is this camera len good enough for indoor photography?

@BruceLovelace-Canon

3 жыл бұрын

Hi George, yes it can work fine for indoor photography, but it is not a "fast" lens in itself, so it is not ideal for low light photography, which you may encounter during indoor photo shoots. It really depends on how much natural light exist, if interior lights are bright, or if you're shooting with flash. Newer cameras shoot really good quality using high ISO camera settings too.

Is this lens have background blur option?

@BruceLovelace-Canon

3 жыл бұрын

You can control the amount of blur that the background will have using any lens in several ways. 1. Using a telephoto setting. 2. Have the background be a large distance from the subject. 3. Having the subject close to the camera. 4. Using the widest aperture of the lens as possible. See this post: www.better-digital-photo-tips.com/what-is-depth-of-field.html

So will a camera actually stop allowing the aperture numbers to change based on your lens? So the aperture range on a Canon 90D is f/3.5 - f/22 and then I put on a EF-S 18-135mm which is f/3.5 - f/5.6, does this mean that my cameras screen will stop at f/5.6 because of the lens instead of going to the cameras f/22?
