thank for the tips
Thanks for the video man. I learned a lot. I need a lens and don’t know what the hell to get still. haha the 50mm 1.8 is pretty cool. That might be a good idea.
Do you explain in any of your videos on how to use the 70-200 2.8 lens? I bought a Sony the other day and being new to photography don’t understand all the settings. Also, for the lenses you describe in this video, what would be the pros/cons of using a lens hood?
hahahahaha
‘but if you want to take photos of people who dont know you are there… eahrrrrrrggg’ hahaahahahahha
great video
Great tutorial!
dude this guy is AWSOME
thanks dude. ha ha ha he looks like the type of dude who you can have a good beer with LOL 
sweeet
Very informative, thank you.
hey again !
i wanna know the difference between a USM and non-USM lens
Great, informative video. Thanks.
BTW, I love my 50mm 1.8 lens. It’s a great deal.
dude i just went on samy’s website, looked for that 55 1.8 lens…..well i havent found it, annnd those lenses are way more than 100 bucks….where you get yours???
Yes, It will work great
but 4-5.6 aperture is good for daylight shooting right ?
Yeah, but the major difference is the 2.8 which allows for low light shooting
dang…
$1299 ??
wow/..i guess id go with the 70-300mm
cuz i love talking pictures of animals..
but evrytime i go close them..they run away…
soo thx anyways..
but is there a big diff between 200mm and 300mm ?
I use my 70-200 f/2.8 for all occasions but its cost is somewhat prohibitive to most folks who are not doing it professionally. The 50mm f/1.8 costs $100 and the 70-200 f/2.8 costs $1,299 That is what helps many choose. =o)
oh thx alot..
but is there a lense for sports and for low light photography ??
like all in one lens ?
That depends entirely on your usage of the lens and what your budget is. If you plan on shooting sports and need a zoom it would be all about the 70-300. But if you are looking for low lit scenes such as clubs or if you are doing some artistic things with Depth of Field, then it is all about the 50mm f/1.8.
I hope this helps =o)
hey !!!
what lens should i get first..
canon 50mm f/1.8 ?
or sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 ?
thx..

BTW this video helps me a lot..but im still confuse for some detail. im planning to buy this lense Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II somebody said this is an all purpose camera but it’s worth around 900 to 1000$.i jst want to know if its worth a penny..
yeah but my camera does’t have one that cost $99
You must find one that fits your camera model but most cameras will have one out there.
will the 50mm lens fit to any camera?
I’m just starting into photography, I’m coming from filming skateboarding but I find photography more interesting. I found your videos on here and have learned so much from them. Now I just have to get my d40 and go out and shooot
