    It's crazy how this kind of information that is being put in a comprehensive and fun video where otherwise you'd have to open books and read to understand, is free on youtube. So so so grateful!

    A recommendation that I have been hearing for many beginning filmmakers for early lens choices is to try and get a 16mm-35mm zoom lens, a 35mm-70mm zoom lens, and a 70mm-200mm telephoto zoom lens. As explained in this video, the idea is that with these three lenses you pretty much cover the near full range of focal lengths you'd mostly use in different movies and while zoom lenses do have the disadvantage of often having changing focal lengths, not being as sharp, or having apertures really geared for low-light, you at least have the advantage of having quick and handy resources for quickly changing focal lengths and doing otherwise guerilla filmmaking.

    Another thing to cover is the fact that lenses are now typically electronic devices themselves, connected to the camera, with functions that can be manually adjusted or by the software. Sometimes those extra features are super useful to know/have.

    My camera has an APSC sensor. The main 2 lenses I use are the 18-35mm f1.8 and the 50mm because of the crop the 18-35 is actually 28-56mm. my 50mm 1.8 is actually 80mm. I use the 10-18mm which is actually 16-25mm as my wide and the kit lens 15-45mm which is 25-72mm when I need to.

I'm looking to get the sigma 18-50mm f2.8 zoom lense to replace my kit lense and maybe one or two lenses from the sigma trio. Please help lol I'm an artist so I do music vids and photos for myself.

    @@jamerv777smerf the focal length is based on the lens itself relative to a full frame sensor. A canon apsc sensor has a crop factor of 1.6. The effective focal of the 50mm would be equivalent to an 80mm. The 18-50 f2.8 is a good choice, this would 28.8-80mm. My set up mentioned is the sigma 18-35 which is 28-50. This covers 2 of the 3 trio and is a lower price because the aperture is 1.8 instead of 1.4. Changing lenses can be a pain. I also have the 50mm which is my 80mm. Basically I only change lenses once if needed. For wide shots (16-20mm) is what’s best. I use my sons Dji pocket 2 has it is an actual 20mm and take great wide angle stabile shots. The sigma trio is nice, but you would be changing them often or, you can use the 35mm (56mm)on one camera and the 50 (80mm) on another. I use a steady cam and an electronic gimbal when shooting almost anything including music videos. With the 18-35, I never have to re-adjust the steady cam because the zoom is internal and therefore the lens does not get longer or shorter messing up the steady cams balance. Ill use the 50mm on my secondary camera and that its on my gimbal.

    Thanks for this awesome and informative video. I just bought an Olympus Pen E-P7 on black Friday. My first ever mirrorless camera. I have two lenses for it. The kit lens and a Helios44m. And from my beginners perspective you are absolutely right. For a pro or semi-pro user a kit lens might be the first thing that will never be touched again after unpacking the camera, but for an beginning, if you just start, use it. It's great. I do like the pictures I take, I would say I am as proud of them as I would be on my first born🤣 Especially the ones I took with the helios-lens. Manual focus is quite hard, especially if it's sunny and I don't have a viewfinder. I have more fun with my camera than I expected. And I take a lot of pictures now even though I bought the camera for filming in the first place 😁🤣

    good advice at the end there. don't underestimate your kit lens, I know that desire to get a new/better lens but I spent a year with my kit lens before I bought a 50mm and that was the best thing I could've done, right next to choosing a 50mm as my second lens. next I'm definitely getting a decent zoom lens.
