  • The new Yongnuo 85mm f/1.8 S DF DSM Lens is a great budget option for both photographers and filmmakers. The 85mm focal length is one of my favorite social lengths for wedding filmmaking and photographer, as well as corporate interview work. The 1.8 aperture really isolates your subject and makes them stand out from the background.

    Hey Kraig! Just snagged this lens. Do you recommend any filters for those super sunny days? I’ve seen the Nisi filters and K&F filters but wanted to get your take as well.

    How about viltrox 85mm f1.8 ?, it can be purchased just a little bit cheaper in used market as it was older than the yongnuo one.

    Thank you for all your honest videos. We need more of those non brand new expensive gear videos

    I have a 18-55mm Canon EF lens for my eos 400d. Got it for 15 bucks in like new condition, that's what I call budget 😂👍🏻
    Keep producing those high quality videos, they are very pleasing to look at.😃👌🏻

    Kraig....thanks for this! I went ahead and snagged one. Hopefully will be here soon. Question: any recommendation for an older Sony camera 9without a record-limit) that I can use in a Multicam performance set-up? This camera would mainly be on the host, who asks questions between songs of the artist performing. (I use my iPhone 11 now, but it's not great in low-light.) Thanks!

      Hey there! Thanks for your question! Because of a European Union tariff law that was in place until 2019, basically every consumer level Sony camera has a record limit of 30 minutes that is older than 2020. So the one I would recommend for you would be a used Sony ZV-E10! Or an A6700 if you have a bit more to spend :) hopefully this helps!

    I bought Meike 85mm last month. It looks similar, which product is more great?

      I’m not sure, I haven’t used the Meike!

    85mm is the best for everything and if you can't fit landscape you can turn the horizontally.. also no distortions.

      @kraigpruett  6 місяців тому

      I agree, it’s a great focal length.

      I like the K&F filters for an affordable option, but sometimes you can see some vignetting around the edges. I’m also a big fan of FREEWELLs filters. I’d check those out!
