  • Today we're discussing my favorite lens to use for concert photography: Canon's 15mm Fisheye 2.8 lens! I talk about WHY I love it for gig photos and how it can actually be used for other types of photography and videography as well(to an extent!). I've been using this lens for shows for the past few years now and it never disappoints.

    What’s YOUR favorite lens to use for concert photography??

      Since I have a crop sensor on my Canon, I use my Canon 17mm-55mm lens and it works great! It’s my go-to lens.

    • @domdez8123
      @domdez8123  3 роки тому +1

      17mm is a cool focal length on a crop sensor for concert shots!

      I have the Sigma 15mm fish with an adapter. It's been adequate, but I'm excited to try the new TTArtisan 7.5 fish (and F2.0!). Otherwise, I tend to have my two rigs loaded with Sony 20mm and a Sony Zeiss 55mm.

    Thank you so much for this vid. I currently have a manual fisheye by Altura and it's great. I haven't used it for concerts, though. I may look for a canon with the auto-focus. Thank you again!

      Thanks man, appreciate that!
      If you havent used yours for concerts I’d definitely give it a try! Autofocus has been a lifesaver on mine for concert photos though for sure. Nothing but good things to say about the Canon fisheye!

      @domdez8123  4 роки тому +2

      Thanks man! And yeah definitely works well for those kinds of scenarios! You can get a pretty “trippy” look if you add movement in your shots with this sort of lens, as the lines in the scene warp around

    Hey, just wanted to leave a comment to tell you your video convinced me to buy this lens instead of the alternatives out there for fisheyes. I shoot gigs too, as well as night clubs, so this is gonna be fantastic for crowd shots and intense close-ups. Thanks for such a helpful and insightful video!

    • @domdez8123
      @domdez8123  2 роки тому

      yo, that's awesome! Hope you get as much out of it as I do, still my favorite lens to shoot shows with. Shot a gig just last week and barely even switched to anything else.
      Appreciate the kind words! Thank you!

    Yo, dope vid and I also love my Canon FD fisheye, but you mentioned autofocus working great with this? How did you get the lens to talk to your camera? Mine is definitely a dumb lens. We talkin about the old FD series from the late 70s early 80s right? Did I leave my helmet on the short bus? What am I missing

    • @domdez8123
      @domdez8123  3 роки тому +1

      Ah no! Mine is not the FD version, it's the late 80's version that was introduced with the EOS system. I think the FD is a manual focus if I'm not mistaken, no chance to get it to work I don't think...

    • @insanejughead
      @insanejughead 3 роки тому +3

      All FD lenses are full manual, period. I have the FD 15mm fisheye, too. I freaking love it! The great thing about short focal lengths with comparatively large apertures is that we can set the focus distance to about 6' and the aperture to f:4 and get one hell of a usable hyperfocal range!

  • @mr_jonathantaylor

    Should I save up to get this lens for my Canon 5D Mark IV, or would you say I’ll be fine with a lesser investment fisheye lens such as rokinon 8mm fisheye?

    Nice video and you deserve a ton more subs! I love native lenses best of all, but before I buy this one (which I'm strongly aimed at), I ordered it's twin - *Sigma 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye* . It must be worse in all departments (especially AF and overall interaction with camera), but one... Which is super important here in my opinion - *minimum focusing distance* - Sigma has 15cm, Canon has 20cm. That's crucial for artistic close up shots, which I love. Anyway, I hope to get both and try the difference...

      @@domdez8123 ah thank ya sir ❤️
      I’m *sorta* looking into fisheyes, i shoot Micro 4/3 for now, so a 15mm would end up more like a 24 on a speed booster. I’m kinda hesitant to commit to EF lenses though, since I think I’m probably gonna be going L mount or E mount when I end up switching to full frame. Those shots are gorgeous, man!

    Thank you for the video Dom. It is cool to hear your perspective on the 15mm! I just wore out my second lens, picking up a third tomorrow as another replacement. I love it for concert photography as well. This is a favorite of mine with the lens. www.flickr.com/photos/zimfo/53807968440/in/dateposted-public/

    What is going on with your audio? There's a lot of helicopter flutter that I'm hearing... It got to be a bit nauseating by the time I reached the six minute mark.

    • @domdez8123
      @domdez8123  3 роки тому

      yeah I had issues with my old microphone which caused that noise depending on where my camera was... Only noticed once I got to editing the video, I think this is the video that made me get a new mic lol. Nauseating indeed :/
