What lens shall I buy? Focal Length - Learn how different focal lengths change your image
Вставка

- Have you ever wondered how the focal length of your lens influences your images?
I often get asked: what lens shall I buy? And the first thing I try to figure out is what focal length people would need. More often than not, beginners have no idea how the focal length of a lens changes the look of an image.
This chapter is meant to help you decide which lens you want to purchase. And after the first video, you should already have a good idea about what focal length you want to get. - Навчання та стиль
Finally! I found something easy to understand. Im researching a lot about a suitable lens for a beginner like me. Thank you so much.
Thanks, Angelica! Great to hear that 🙏🙏🙏
There's no beginner lens. The next thing you know you want to buy all lens available in the market😭
Indeed, I was amazed at how he explains things smoothly with ton of details.
🙏🙏🙏
Exactly what I said
Others youtubers would've made a 30 minute video full of rubbish to explain one single lens. Haha. Good job.
😂😂😂 thank you 🙏🙏
It's a cancer taking over the platform sadly 😂
Need a teacher like that for every field, everything is clear and English is not even my native language
Thanks fr such a nice feedback, Sandratra! It’s not mine either 🤣.
@@wolfamri You are welcome, sometimes we need to take time to leave good feedbacks on an Internet full of bad reviews. By the way, do you have a video about bridge cameras? I end up on your channel because i was looking for a good camera to take a special event pictures but i also want to use that later on. Online shopping doesn't actually work well in my country and most of the camera in my budget i found in the only famous store are bridges. But most youtubers didn't advice to buy a bridge, all of them said to either buy a second hand reflex or invest on a good camera smartphone depending on your needs. So now i'm curious, are bridges really that bad? especially the entry level because if you are looking for a bridge, you are likely on a budget, high end bridge surely have some amount of value. Do you already have a video about that or any advice you can give?
🤗🤗 well, I have a high end bridge for the extreme zoom it offers. But other than that, I wouldn’t recommend them either. They are slow, have a bad low light performance and a very big depth of focus. Not the best option for events. I‘m afraid I don’t have a video about them either 😬
@@wolfamri thank you for actively replying. Yes, i saw that moon shot you did in the it's also about the gear video.
I want to say even if i don't have any camera (yet), I enjoy watching your videos, they teach a lot of interesting things. I'm like the sport fan who doesn't even play the sport now.
keep going on what you do, especially that joy of life you are sparking on your videos.
Thanks so much. That’s probably the best feedback one could ask for 🙏🙏
This is the best photography focal length explanation EVER! Simple, straight to the point, great examples, easy to understand.
Thank youuuu!!!
I think 80% of the youtuber who introduces beginner photograph should learn from you, never see anything easier than these straight forward examples.
Thanks so much 🤗🤗
this was by far the best explanation. Thank you so much.
Thank you, Joe! Great to hear it was helpful.
my sentiments exactly.
Hands down the best video that I have seen covering this as a complete beginner and every new photographer/videographer needs to watch this. Short, simple and to-the-point.
Thank you 🤗🙏
Thank you Wolf, wonderful series, Having just purchased a full frame Nikon, I'm anxious to explore the capabilities of my 24 - 70 S lens. This series was an enormous help in understanding the complexities of focal length vs f stop vs speed. Highly recommended.
Thank you - and congrats on your new camera ;)
This is so very important and useful! You could have the most expensive lens and not know how to use it! Thank you Wolf Amri for putting together such concise and informative video for people who wants to dabble in photography!
Thanks for your feedback, Evonne! 🙏
Straight up subbed, no messing about straight to point with clear and good visual examples.
Thanks so much, James 🙏🙏
Finally understood the good thing about photography. I have to repeat this series again to improve my knowledge. Many Thanks to Mr. Wolfgagn.
Thanks, Rohana! Great to hear that. Enjoy the photography journey ;)
Best video on focal length I've ever seen,
No bs just straight up facts,
Love the content so far.
So great to hear that, thank you 🙏
I'M SO HAPPY I FOUND YOU!! omygoodness I've done soo much research and they don't really explain it like you do and you did it within 10mins! I'm blown away at how much more I understand, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
looking through all your videos, i am VERY excited to learn from you!
You cover everything ive been questioning for MONTHS!
I subscribed because I appreciate you so much and very grateful you exist to help all of us beginners! ❤
Thank you for such a nice feedback. That really motivates me 💪😉.
@@wolfamri You're very welcome 😊
I have a question that i just can't seem to understand.
I have a canon t7i- crop sensor.
If I want a focal length in the 28mm region do i have to get an 18mm lens or do i just get a 28mm?
I know, many youtubers and others like to make this way too complicated. Why even bother to convert it to a full frame focal length. You probably have your kit lens. The numbers you read on the zoom ring are the numbers you need to get if you want that angle of view. Only if you see an image shot with a full frame camera and think: I want that focal length/angle of view, would you need to divide the focal length they used by 1.6 to get the same effect.
Does that make sense? Did you check my video crop vs full frame yet?
@@wolfamri ohhh yes! It DOES make sense thank you so much and yes they do make it complicated! I'm over here thinking if I get a 50mm lens it's actually going to be a around 75mm and that's too much for what I want to do so it scared me of buying anything because of this whole conversion thing got me messed up. I appreciate you taking the time to answer the most difficult question that I've been stuck on forever!
and oh yes, I've been watching a lot of your videos, I love how simplified you keep things, the only one i was like "ahhhh 😱" on was the aperture science. I'm terrible at math so that scrambled my brain a little Haha, interesting tho!!!
I love the way you explained this topic! I already subscribed. I'm sure I'm going to learn a lot. I'm a newbie in photography and you explain things in a way that's very easy to understand. Thank you so much!
Thanks, for your subscription, Joyce Anne! Welcome aboard!
4 years later and still relevant, teaching the basics to noobs like me! thank you!
Thank you! 🤗🙏
Now I can finally understand this madness 🤩
Hahaha - great to hear. Photography is all about madness 😆
Thank you for great introduction to lenses. I love the concise presentation! I'm just getting started with photography. I will definitely check out more of your videos.
Thank you, Mette, I hope you enjoy the others too 😉.
Great and really informative! I've been a hobbyist for years, just using the kit lens that came with my 300D, and almost never moving the camera out of full auto. I've finally taken the step of buying some decent (used) cameras and lenses and am trying to learning more about taking control of my shots rather than letting the camera do the thinking for me!
Thank you 🙏🤗 Enjoy the ride 😉
Thank you so much! I always had difficulty to understand this, but this totaly killed it! Best explanation! 🙏
Thanks a lot, Ota! 🤗
this video is absolutely amazing. being able to visually interpret each focal length is extremely helpful in understanding camera lenses. concise and easy to understand. love it
Thank you 🤗🤗🙏🙏
Very simple and legible explanation for the complexity of the subject. Simply superb !
Thank you very much 🙏
No one can explain much simpler than this. Thank you sir. Probably you should do a video on "how things can be explained in simpler way" too
Awww, thanks so much! I was actually thinking about doing a youtube channel about maths 😂.
Just found your channel. WOW! I love your ability to make fairly complicated concepts very simple! Thank you!
Welcome to the channel and thank you so much 🙏🤗
Amazing! Couldn't have asked for a more clear and concise explanation.
Thank you🙏🤗
Right to the point. Great video!
Thank you so much! Thanks for watching ;)
Your accent is AMAZING, wish you could narrate my life.
😂 thanks, it doesn’t feel amazing though 😂
Excellent overview of different focal lengths and lenses. Thank you!
Thank you, Lori!!!!!!!!!
At last......so simple words followed by such accurate meaning photos......Thank you, now it's so much easier to understand what all these numbers on the lenses tells us. Thank you.
Hey Pantelis, that’s great to hear. Thanks for your feedback 🙏🙏🙏
1:52 Just what my only fans project needed :)
Great to hear that, thanks for your feedback 🙏🙏
@@wolfamri 😭😭
🤔
@@okok72277 🤫🤫🤫 dont let him know its a dirty joke.
Thanks again for making it so simple and easy to learn this basic fundamentals 😊
Thanks for watching, Karan 🙏 And for your feedback 🤗
Superb explainer with the perfect image to demonstrate. Under 5min 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
🙏🤗🙏
Good explanation of lens! Loved the Belvedere shots! Vienna is a photographers paradise! Was there in 2016 while visiting my son studying aboard.
T try hank you, Don. Much appreciated! Funnily one doesn’t always see the jewels in front of the own door 😂
Beautifully explained. I watched so many videos and now I have understood what I was looking for. Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks, Salina! Great to hear the video was helpful!
This is the best explanation of focal length and lenses came across ! You make it so easy to understand! Kudos...
Please make a course on beginners to advance photography with these simple explanations and examples. Would be great if you teach step by step way ! Thank you.
Thanks a lot! I have planned exactly that 🤗👍
The best and easy to understand. Lower the number MM = the wider the image, higher the MM = the more narrow and focus. Basically, I took away thinking of it as zoom. Great job!
Thank you 🙏🙏
The kind of a video that even if u don't understand english, you understand the concept of focal lenght. obs: I sent the video to a friend that does't understand english and he got it.
Thank you 🤗😂
This came top of recommendation, btw i'm new into this world, currently have my eyes on the Sony A6400 but learning the basics for now, thanks for the simple breakdown, would love to know how every focal length has its purpose.
Thanks for your feedback, Nehemiah! The a6400 is a great camera. The wider lenses (lower focal length in mm) are often used for landscapes, architecture, milky way photography. from 50mm up (on your camera, which has an APS-C-sized sensor) they are popular for portraits. And the longer they get (focal length in mm), the more suitable they are for things that are far away and you want to tear them closer (moon, wildlife). Macro lenses are usually around 100mm, they let you get very close to your subject and give you a big magnification. I hope that will give you an idea. It all depends on what yu want to photograph 😉
I agree with all the top comments. This video is a masterclass in teaching. Good job!!
Thank you so much 🙏🙏
Finally! A video that makes it super easy to understand, thanks!
Thanks a lot, Tavasai! I’m currently creating a lot of videos with completely new methods to explain things, so stay tuned 😉
Hallo Wolfgang, sehr schöne neue Serie. Gefällt mir sehr gut.
Hi, vielen Dank 🤗!!! Coolen channel hast Du da!
Short and precise. To the point.
Thank you 🙏🙏🤗
It was very nice to see Vienna in your video! Great explanation too!
Thanks, Vaibhav 🙏. I should use my hometown more often 😁.
THOSE VISUALS ARE PRICELESS❗
They make understanding and retention so much easier and faster!
PLEASE, NEVER STOP USING THEM❗
THEY ARE THE BEST THING EVER!!!👍👍👍
Hi again. Thanks a lot for your support 🤗🙏. Much appreciated! I promise 😉, I even work on improving them and the new ones are really fun 😁.
@@wolfamri 👍👍👍
Good stuff. Thanks for the clear comparison!
Thank you 🙏😉
very easy to understand I now know I need a 12-32mm len, 35-100mm lens and a 45-200mm lens, this helped me a lot I have been very confused for days but this film real helped to sort out my photo needs thank you
Great to hear that, Julian. Just make sure you also understand that crop sensors have a bit of a different angle of view than full frame. I listed both in the video.
Thanks I really appreciate your explanations and visual examples. You get right to the point! 💪💯
Thank you so much, Travis 🙏🙏
Thanks!!! It helped me a lot to understand the lenses because I had a lot of difficulty trying to use it right and find the one I need. I will definitely subscribe and like this video!

This is how a video should be. Concise and clear.
Thank you 🙏🙏
Wow, clearly explain , generally some person speak fast with over acting, but u did it sincerely. Thankful to you.
Thanks!!!! Unfortunately youtube likes fast speakers. So I have started speaking faster in my newer videos. But you can use the settings on youtube to slow it down - works amazingly well. I constantly change speed when watching videos.
Thank you so much you are straight forward and to the point and easy to understand 👍
Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated 🙏🙏
I somehow missed the one when I watched the one about lens for portraits. This will be very helpful in choosing my new lens, thank you!
Awesome! There will be another one of the lens buying guide about crop sensor lenses soon 😉
This was super helpful and easy to understand. I thank you for making this info about lenses, which I need to know.
