Michael I truly appreciate all of your tutorials, hints, and Facebook groups. Every time I revisit one of your 90D videos, I learn something new. The more I shoot with my 90D, the better I get even with bad photos. I am learning from my successes and even more from my failures. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Dear Michael, just back from 3 days in the Pilanesburg National Park in South Africa. We visit around twice a year and I previously used my 70D. I Purchased the 90D in advance of this trip and spent some quality time on both your 90D Introduction and Wildlife Tutorials. Time well spent. I made all the menu adjustments you suggested. Thanks for all the great tips! :) Short version is results on the 90D are absolutely fantastic when used with the Canon 100-400 4.5-5.6 L Mk 2 lens. Images are sharp as a pin; colour and contrast are exceptional. When shooting birds at quite some distance, fully zoomed, I am able to crop the images substantially and still have a most acceptable result. The 70D was pretty good with this setup but the 90D is excellent. Great lens/body combination! When in the bush, I now leave my 18-135 kit lens on the 70D so the two rigs give me total coverage. Cheers, Keith.
I bought the EFS 10-22 back in 2011with my 550D and it has been one of my favourites. The only problem is the chromatic aberration but 90D can fix this. I upgraded to 90D and it is amazing!
Just for people who like to know.... I personally am very satisfied with my canon 70-300L, tamron 15-30 G2, tamron 10-24 hdl, and especially very sharp the tamron 70-200 G2..... I own the canon 100-400 II with extender and they are great...... just as great is my tamron 100-400....but I read mixed reviews.... thanks for all the afford you put into it!
I have a 28-135mm USM 3.5-5.6. I’ve had this lens since 2009 and have used it on my 40D and T7. So far pleased with it on my 90D. I will post some shots in the group.
hi I have a 90d with 18 to 135 mm usm kit lens and find 90 % of the photos arent tac sharp they acceptable but am not impressed when looking at them at 100% the focus is rather soft, any advice to help fix
Hello Check your camera settings especially autofocus. One of the settings to turn off is the facial priority autofocus. Stop the lens down to f/8, the sweet spot for most lenses. Use the histogram to check your exposure in live view, which has better focal points. Use ND filters when outside and it’s sunny. Adjust your exposure accordingly. Keep your ISO under 6,400 for sharper photos. If shooting inside in low light, live view, external flash (bounce), keep your iso at 6,400 and under. Shoot with the prime STM lenses - sharper glass 50mm STM 24mm STM 40mm STM Just continued trial & error. Take notes on the photos that come out well. Make small adjustments from there. I’m a work in progress myself and I surely don’t know it all. I hope my experiences help. Most humbly
I’m in the process of starting an online clothing store, and I want to have amazing fashion photography in it. I recently got a 90D with an EF-S 18-135mm lens (it arrives today💃🏽). I, for sure, lack knowledge and experience when it comes to photography. However, I am determined to learn and love it. Just wondering if the lens that came with the camera are great for fashion photography. Help!
I can’t thank you enough for this video and the others you have on this camera, you have made using this camera so much easy for me and I am truly thankful.
I travel with the 10-18 WA Canon and the lens that lives on the 90D body is the F2.8 17-55 Canon, wow, what a perfect lens, shoot it at F 5.6 or less, float the ISO, the results are awesome. Oh, for video, the pancake 24 is the best I have found. Running the RAWS through DXO-3 after the trip is like going full frame when you post process.
I see that you do not mention the Canon 50mm F1.4 USM and the 85mm 1.8 USM, the Sigma 50-100mm? Are they not recommended please. Tell us if there is an update on what 🙏🏽
I brought that lens 3 months ago and it’s insanely great and sharp. People are definitely sleeping on it. If your staying in the crop sensor lane then that lens is a must have
When getting lenses for this camera, do you factor in the crop? So would a 24-70’s FOV be 24-70 or would It have a 1.6x crop making the field of view different ? Cheers
Hi. I do aircraft spotting with canon 650D + 70-300mmL with some great results. Wanting more reach would you recommend upgrade to canon 100-400mmLii OR upgrade to canon 90D(32mp)and crop. Thank you in advance.
The Canon 85mm prime has a big problem. Canon did issue a firmware update for the 90D to compensate for it but that hasn't completely resolved it and the lens basically throws error 001 up constantly.
This is great, very helpful, Michael! And it confirms my experience with these Canon lenses: 18-135 STM, 55-250 STM, 18-55 f/4-5.6 STM, 70-300 IS USM II, and one you didn't mention, the wonderful 40mm f2.8 STM (fantastic lens!). I have the 15-85 also and it's a very nice lens, but I don't use it as much since getting the 18-135 STM. A little off the subject, but this is just an observation that really surprised me from doing many side by side comparisons. I have the 80d and SL2 and find the images from the SL2 to be so much better -- cleaner, smoother jpegs, more natural colors, less noise, more natural skin tones. I have the 6dII also, and the SL2 images come very close in overall quality and color. Side by side images from the SL2 and 80d, the SL2 is the clear winner. So I'm selling my 80d. I'll miss the 45 af points, but image quality is more important to me. Thanks again for this video!
im a canon sl2 shooter as well, do you have any new favorite lens choice? i'm thinking of getting the canon 35mm f2 but considering to get another lens as well. thanks!
Any idea of the tamron 150-600 mm sp di usd g2? I just bought one and I am waiting for it. Your recommendations would be very much appreciated! I own a Canon 90d
You'd have to go with the Tamron 24 -70 over the Canon: it's a no-brainer for price and image stabilization. Plus, the Tamron lenses are really well put together - not saying that the Canon ones aren't, but Tamron build quality is outstanding.
I really don't see a point in getting a lot of expensive glass like the 2.8 canon zooms just to put them on a 90d, just get a 5d iv, they're on sale for 2k
Interesting. Sounds as though the Canon 100-400mm L IS will not really do on this camera and I'll need the Vii to be properly satisfied. Did not expect to change from RX10 iv but this has tempted me back to DSLR.
I own, besides the Canon 90D, the 10-18mm for vlogging, the 24mm pancake, the 50mm 1.8 and the 55-250mm for b-rolls and time lapses; I didn't want to get the 18-55mm because I was under the impression that it wasn't good enough. Do you think, with the lenses I already have, I'll be ok or shall I get the 18-55mm? Also I tested the 10-18mm in low light while vlogging (I travelled to Rome and I am currently editing the footage and I'll post it in a couple of days) and in spite of its F4.5 aperture the result is not so bad...do you think the Sigma 18-35mm F 1.8 would be a lot better?...maybe a little short when talking in front of it on a gorillapod while walking though. Thanks for your videos, always very useful and informative.
The 18-55mm works fine, but is not a top performer. There is a test I do I call the "extreme test" that is meant to prove two things. It proves the resolving power of the lens, which then also shows if it is better or worse than it would be on an older sensor. I found that it looked about the same on the 90D as it did on the 80D. So it works fine, it just isn't going to offer that punch you will get from a better lens. The 24mm F2.8 rocked in this test, as did the 55-250mm and the 50mm F1.8. For inexpensive lenses they did surprisingly well. If you can get it cheap, the 18-55mm will be ok (the STM version that is), but I wouldn't put more than 50 dollars into it. They are so easy to find used for almost nothing. Anything more than that I would think that it would be a better idea to get the Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 DC OS HSM. Used I have seen them for less than 300 USD. The trouble with the 18-35mm is that it is not a stabilized lens, so for the "walk and talk" style vlog you will have shaky footage, plus 18mm might not be wide enough for what that. The 10-18mm would probably be the best lens for that.
Wonderful video! I'm so glad you put this together since some of the lenses that under performed are lenses I was thinking about buying for my m6 ii (presuming you would recommend the same lenses for both 90D and M6 ii)! One lens I'd be curious to get your opinion on is the Sigma 100-400mm. I've had mixed results on mine, getting nice images, but I find that the auto focus and continuous shot mode struggle a bit with this lens. Very nice image quality, however. In regard to the 18-35, the more I use it on my M6 ii, on occasion, it seems the auto focus can get a little off. Otherwise, still a great lens and is becoming my standard video lens. In regard to manual primes, I've had wonderful results with the Rokinon 85mm ef and the 10mm 2.8mm Rokinon designed for the m mount. Thanks for all the tips!
Latest model Kenko TELEPLUS HD DGX 1.4x Teleconverter "TELEPLUS HD DGX 1.4x Teleconverter for Canon EF/EF-S Lenses" works. DO NOT buy any 2X version or older teleconverters that DO NOT specify "EF-S" as the EF-S lens and extender glass will touch and so lens cannot be mounted.
I apologise but I'm not on facebook or any other social media. However, I do own a 90D and I am on a budget because of saving for new lenses but I'm looking at getting into landscape and astro on a more serious level and I wondered if anyone could recommend a lens for this type of shooting. I have been saving my pennies for a Canon 24-70 2.8 ii L lens but Im also thinking of a lens that gives a 1.4 or 1.8 up to a 2.8. I have been looking at the Rokinon but always good to gather the opinion of others who may have tried or are doing this genre of shoot. In advance thanks for your help.
I'm using the Canon 17-55mm 2.8 and looks good to me,but I'm not as technical and wise as Michael 😉 hopefully you have a chance to test this lens on the 90D
that's annoying, i have the 10-18, the 18-135, the50 1.8 and its great but the lense i use the most is my tamron 90mm macro and its having trouble with the autofokus in live view so i can't use focus bracketing.
i have the eos90d, sigma 60-600mm and the kit lens 18-135mm. is the sigma 60-600mm a recommanded lens? as its not in this vid? and im looking to get a sigma 35mm prime or should i go with the canon 24-70 ii
Hi Michael, I used my Canon M6 Markii, which have the same sensor as 90D, I use it with a Canon 70-210mm 3.5-4.5 lens(1992) combined with viltox speedbooster adapter and photos are damn sharp!! Iam trying now tih canon 24-85mm 3.5-4.5(1996) and same happens. This older lenses give me a lot of performance on my 32mp sensor I dont know if you can review it. Thanks in advance
Hi, thank you for this and all your other tutorials. A question re recommended lenses: Quoting from one of your lists: "Canon 24-70 2.8 I - (Not Great)". Then quoting from one of your videos: "This lens is on my camera most of the time". What have I misunderstood?
New here and I appreciate your assistance on the lens. I have used the the Sigma 150 - 600 and have had great photos. I also have used a few older Canon lens and all have produced well.
Craig Carlson I have it and it’s ok. When the conditions are perfect it’s great, but it’s pretty much 50/50. Check out his Facebook group, I’ve put some of my shots on there.
Now I'm not sure it I should keep my 80D or upgrade to 90D? (Need both video and photos...) 80D better for fotos? 90D better for video? (120fps FHD and 4K)
The 90D was a unique apsc crop sensor camera designed to do almost everything. Very good camera for the price. On the mirrorless side, the Canon RP or EOS R can be had for a good price. Newer sensors and processor software.
This one seems to have a mixed set of reviews from people. I personally would think it would work fine as long as you understand how to use it. It's hard to tell if the bad images people have been posting with it are due to the lens or user error. I think people try to use it in the wrong scenarios, forgetting that it lacks IS, or that you need a little faster shutter in a camera as dense as the 90D. I don't have mine anymore, I sold it off to get the 100-400mm mkII.
I see that both versions of the canon 24-105mm are on the not recommended list of lenses you published so I was a bit confused to see you recommend it here. Great video though 👍
HI Michael.. i am new to canon camera and got the 90D as this was rrecommended for Macro shooting, which is mainly what I shoot .,, I have been watching your videos, they have really helped me work my way around this brand new camera. My question is, when I have been practicing briefly over xmas my focus seems very limited to a minute area of a flower.. how do I bring the whole flower into focus and sharp? do I need to up the aperture to 5.6 and over as you mention? sorry, very new to this . I am trying to shoot in AV mode and avoiding dummy mode? I am using EFS 60mm Macro lens on the 90D ... is this one that is working okay?
Jo S . Your in luck with the 90d because it has focus bracketing. It takes multiple shots from one press focusing from front to back and you combine them with canon software and the result is a single image with everything in the image in focus. You would have to watch some youtube how to videos and experiment. You have an excellent lense and camera. You can also increase the aperture for a wider area in focus or move the flower further away and crop the image. Theres many macro instructional videos on UA-cam.
@@MMaven thank you! Does this mean I have the availability to film at 24 mm or 50 mm if I set it up like this? I am sorry, I am new into photography and videography. Trying to understand what the xx mm number means 🤔 😋
@@motita6554 The mm refers to the focal length of the lens. Smaller numbers mean wider fields of view. I would HIGHLY recommend my Canon 90D Crash Course. There is a beginners photography school in it that covers theses basics, and then it takes you through the more advanced lessons, like shooting video, doing portraits, using flash and much more. It will save you a lot of time and frustration: www.canontrainingvideo.com/downloads-c-7_12/canon-90d-crash-course-training-tutorial-p-149.html
@@MMaven thank you vert much for your help. I just took a look at the price of the lens you suggested and it is out of ny range. I was thinking to buy the 18-135mm as it comes in a bundle with the body. Do you think this lens would be good enough for filming yoga? Or do you have any other suggestion a bit cheaper please? 🙏💙
Hello Micheal The Maven and All, I am looking at buying the Canon 90D or the Canon 7D Mark II which camera focusing system workers better for wildlife and sports with the list of my lenses below? Or is there another Canon camera I should get? 1. Tamron SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 2. Tamron 18-400mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD Len 3. Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L is II USM Telephoto Zoom Lens 4. Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM I have been saving up all year my budget is between $1000.00 to $1400.00 and can only buy one canon so I need help to get the right one. Thank you all that can help
@@sayaksamajdar2979 I've a friend using the Canon 100-400 v2 and loving it. OTOH, I bought the Tamron 150-600 G2 and am very pleased. I do pull it in a bit to 550 for best sharpness.
All macro EF primes on the 90D that we seen work fine. Looks like my assistant accidentally put a wrong one in and we missed it. Take home message is the same: macro primes are fine.
Michael I have a question. I upgraded last year when my 10 year old Rebel died. I thought I did enough research but am thinking now I’m over my head with the canon 90d. I wanted it for taking soccer & lax pics of my son & friends in high school. My lens which cost me a fortune is the 70-200mm 2.8. I noticed you didn’t mention it it your video. Is this not a good fit for the 90d?
I have it, it is very good, considering the new nano USM motors, so quick, accurate and silent. The IS is very good, I can easily take sharp pictures at 300mm as low as 1/50s... You just have to make sure the front element is very clean on the lense ! with higher MP, it is even more exacting....
Your dedication to this camera makes me feel even better about my 90D purchase. Thanks a lot!
Thank you Igor!
Michael I truly appreciate all of your tutorials, hints, and Facebook groups. Every time I revisit one of your 90D videos, I learn something new.

The 16-35 F4 and 70-200 F4 work perfect. Very happy with the results.

Shoot with the prime STM lenses - sharper glass
50mm STM
24mm STM
40mm STM
Just continued trial & error. Take notes on the photos that come out well. Make small adjustments from there. I’m a work in progress myself and I surely don’t know it all. I hope my experiences help.
Most humbly
One more thing,
Back button focus helps
Thanks Michael for such good advice on best lenses for the Canon 90D.
Mike, you are spot on about the Tamron 18-270. Even other Canon bodies do not fair well with this lens. Good review!
I’m in the process of starting an online clothing store, and I want to have amazing fashion photography in it. I recently got a 90D with an EF-S 18-135mm lens (it arrives today💃🏽).

My favourite canon group on FB
I'm about to order a 90D... So excited😎 And for now, I think I'm just gonna go with the 18-135 mm lens.
Is it good for UA-cam vlogging?
I see that you do not mention the Canon 50mm F1.4 USM and the 85mm 1.8 USM, the Sigma 50-100mm? Are they not recommended please. Tell us if there is an update on what 🙏🏽
Canon _RF_ 35/1.8 Macro cannot be installed on EF/EF-S mount. 03:25 This is mistake.
Also Canon does not have 24-105/2.8 lens, but 24-105/4. 03:49
Good point. I quickly ran a search to see where I could get 24-105 f2.8 to no avail.
My editor put the wrong f stop in and I didn’t catch it, my mistake. It’s f4. Same with the macro lenses but we can edit that out
Correct, but the Canon EF-S 35 mm F2.8 Macro STM works fine. Unfortunately it was discontinued only 4 years after its release.
Why doesn't diffraction show up in my menu. Have tried with both Manual and Program mode selected with a Canon Lens that is recognized.
Any info on the sigma 18-35?
My very best lens!
The 15-85 is a great option ...or was. Is not yet in production? My couple has one and is excelent in versatillity.
I'm looking to buy this camera and it's March 2023 and you have the best resources available to help me get a kit together
Hey man, if you were to pick between the canon 17-55 and the Sigma 17-50, which would you go for? Would be used mainly for video.
Thanks for the video, what are your views on the 70-200 f2.8 on canon apsc cameras. Both canon and 3rd party lenses
What are your top 3 lenses that you personally would have for the 90D if you were only shooting portrait shots of people? love the channel.
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM
Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM
Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 STM
Just starting out what would be good one for pets and people, stills and videos?
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM
Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 STM
Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 STM
Thanks Mike! Although pretty pricey, think I will buy the EF 24-70. covers a lot of situations. Gracias.
Thank you for listing the best lenses recommendations. I love my Canon 90D, and would like to pair the correct lenses to it.
what about the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS did I miss it?
my favourite lens for the 80D and 90D, definitely undeappreciated
I brought that lens 3 months ago and it’s insanely great and sharp. People are definitely sleeping on it. If your staying in the crop sensor lane then that lens is a must have
I also had this lens with my 7D and I loved it. For sure the best efs lens in my opinion.
Can someone tell me if the EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS lense is good on canon 90D for mostly videos?
This is very helpful. What about the Canon EOS f2.8 L series, first version (not II)?
I have a Canon 17-55 2.8f and I’m thinking of getting a 90D. I love the lens on my 70D. What do you think of it?
What about the EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM?
and EF-S 55-250 , IS RECOMMENDED OR NOT RECOMMENDED?
Only the newer EF-S 55-250 IS STM version is recommended
When getting lenses for this camera, do you factor in the crop? So would a 24-70’s FOV be 24-70 or would It have a 1.6x crop making the field of view different ?
Cheers
You apply the 1.6 crop which gives you 38.4-112mm.
great stuff thanks , my 90d arrives tuesday
I’ve been using mine for about 6 months and I love it just need better lense!
24 mm f/2.8 STM is a good lens and it is cheap. It is sharper than the kit lens.
Thanks a lot. You resolved my problem with this amazing video.
Hi. I do aircraft spotting with canon 650D + 70-300mmL with some great results. Wanting more reach would you recommend upgrade to canon 100-400mmLii OR upgrade to canon 90D(32mp)and crop. Thank you in advance.
How bout tamron 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2
So the Diffraction correction should be turned on at all times?
is the 18-135 good for making UA-cam content?
Should I have to buy Canon 24_105 f4 new version instead of Canon 18_135 Len's for Canon 90d .plz reply sir ❤️
The Canon 85mm prime has a big problem. Canon did issue a firmware update for the 90D to compensate for it but that hasn't completely resolved it and the lens basically throws error 001 up constantly.

Any lens for vertical full body portraits for this camera
Michael, Thank so much for this information!
A repeat from what others are asking: Any suggestions for using the Tamron 18-400?
Plus the canon 24-70 f2.8 mk1, Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 and canon70-200mm f2.8 mk1 on the Canon 90d?
What about the canon 17-40 f4
Hello, do you have a list which are the best Lenses voor My Canon 90D.
I have the 18-135 kit lens and it does not have the Diffraction correction.
Any idea of the tamron 150-600 mm sp di usd g2?
I just bought one and I am waiting for it.
Your recommendations would be very much appreciated!
I own a Canon 90d
Is the 24-70mm f/2.8 worth it, but the first version, not the second one?
For the 90D? no
You'd have to go with the Tamron 24 -70 over the Canon: it's a no-brainer for price and image stabilization. Plus, the Tamron lenses are really well put together - not saying that the Canon ones aren't, but Tamron build quality is outstanding.
its recommended in the video.
I really don't see a point in getting a lot of expensive glass like the 2.8 canon zooms just to put them on a 90d, just get a 5d iv, they're on sale for 2k
Does anybody know, how the Canon EF 70-200 f2,8 performs on the EOS 90d?
I tried the Canon 10-18 and sigma 18-35 f1.4 and the 50mm f1.8 . I love all 3 equally. I put together a comparison video on my channel on those
The best lens is the one that you can take photos with that helps you make your client happy and pays U.
Interesting. Sounds as though the Canon 100-400mm L IS will not really do on this camera and I'll need the Vii to be properly satisfied. Did not expect to change from RX10 iv but this has tempted me back to DSLR.
i have the kit lens 18-55mm i cant make my pictures portrait when i shoot full body
Hi, i would like to know if the 17-50mm tamron 2.8 f work great with the canon 90D. Great video
I own, besides the Canon 90D, the 10-18mm for vlogging, the 24mm pancake, the 50mm 1.8 and the 55-250mm for b-rolls and time lapses; I didn't want to get the 18-55mm because I was under the impression that it wasn't good enough. Do you think, with the lenses I already have, I'll be ok or shall I get the 18-55mm? Also I tested the 10-18mm in low light while vlogging (I travelled to Rome and I am currently editing the footage and I'll post it in a couple of days) and in spite of its F4.5 aperture the result is not so bad...do you think the Sigma 18-35mm F 1.8 would be a lot better?...maybe a little short when talking in front of it on a gorillapod while walking though. Thanks for your videos, always very useful and informative.
The newest 18-55 seems ok. The sigma is sharper, and wider aperture, but doesn’t auto focus as well as the 10-18 and is more expensive
The 18-55mm works fine, but is not a top performer. There is a test I do I call the "extreme test" that is meant to prove two things. It proves the resolving power of the lens, which then also shows if it is better or worse than it would be on an older sensor. I found that it looked about the same on the 90D as it did on the 80D. So it works fine, it just isn't going to offer that punch you will get from a better lens. The 24mm F2.8 rocked in this test, as did the 55-250mm and the 50mm F1.8. For inexpensive lenses they did surprisingly well.
If you can get it cheap, the 18-55mm will be ok (the STM version that is), but I wouldn't put more than 50 dollars into it. They are so easy to find used for almost nothing. Anything more than that I would think that it would be a better idea to get the Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 DC OS HSM. Used I have seen them for less than 300 USD. The trouble with the 18-35mm is that it is not a stabilized lens, so for the "walk and talk" style vlog you will have shaky footage, plus 18mm might not be wide enough for what that. The 10-18mm would probably be the best lens for that.
Hi Micheal, Great platform this one is. We Please advise on the compatibility of Tamron 150-600mm g2 with 90D
Wonderful video! I'm so glad you put this together since some of the lenses that under performed are lenses I was thinking about buying for my m6 ii (presuming you would recommend the same lenses for both 90D and M6 ii)! One lens I'd be curious to get your opinion on is the Sigma 100-400mm. I've had mixed results on mine, getting nice images, but I find that the auto focus and continuous shot mode struggle a bit with this lens. Very nice image quality, however. In regard to the 18-35, the more I use it on my M6 ii, on occasion, it seems the auto focus can get a little off. Otherwise, still a great lens and is becoming my standard video lens.
In regard to manual primes, I've had wonderful results with the Rokinon 85mm ef and the 10mm 2.8mm Rokinon designed for the m mount. Thanks for all the tips!
Looking for sharp details shooting car photography, what would you recommend out of that group? Maybe the 18-135mm?
18-135 is a good all round zoom, but it's not the sharpest.
I didn't think the EFS cameras allowed extenders to be used?
Latest model Kenko TELEPLUS HD DGX 1.4x Teleconverter "TELEPLUS HD DGX 1.4x Teleconverter for Canon EF/EF-S Lenses" works.
DO NOT buy any 2X version or older teleconverters that DO NOT specify "EF-S" as the EF-S lens and extender glass will touch and so lens cannot be mounted.
I apologise but I'm not on facebook or any other social media. However, I do own a 90D and I am on a budget because of saving for new lenses but I'm looking at getting into landscape and astro on a more serious level and I wondered if anyone could recommend a lens for this type of shooting. I have been saving my pennies for a Canon 24-70 2.8 ii L lens but Im also thinking of a lens that gives a 1.4 or 1.8 up to a 2.8. I have been looking at the Rokinon but always good to gather the opinion of others who may have tried or are doing this genre of shoot. In advance thanks for your help.
Really good info! Was wondering about lens performance on the 90D.
I'm using the Canon 17-55mm 2.8 and looks good to me,but I'm not as technical and wise as Michael 😉 hopefully you have a chance to test this lens on the 90D
i have the 17-55 too, but have the feeling that some shots are a bit soft. Still testing it out though
How does the Tamron 150-600 G2 lens works with 90D?
I’m not happy with the result - I was hoping he would mention it. I am not getting the sharpness I should, even using monopod :-/
that's annoying, i have the 10-18, the 18-135, the50 1.8 and its great but the lense i use the most is my tamron 90mm macro and its having trouble with the autofokus in live view so i can't use focus bracketing.
i have the eos90d, sigma 60-600mm and the kit lens 18-135mm.
is the sigma 60-600mm a recommanded lens? as its not in this vid?
and im looking to get a sigma 35mm prime or should i go with the canon 24-70 ii
Hi Michael,
I used my Canon M6 Markii, which have the same sensor as 90D, I use it with a Canon 70-210mm 3.5-4.5 lens(1992) combined with viltox speedbooster adapter and photos are damn sharp!! Iam trying now tih canon 24-85mm 3.5-4.5(1996) and same happens. This older lenses give me a lot of performance on my 32mp sensor
I dont know if you can review it. Thanks in advance
My usage for a lens is shooting talking head videos like this video and model photography. Which lens would be best for these use cases?
Is tamron macro lens 90mm recommended for canon 90d ???
Hi, thank you for this and all your other tutorials. A question re recommended lenses: Quoting from one of your lists: "Canon 24-70 2.8 I - (Not Great)". Then quoting from one of your videos: "This lens is on my camera most of the time". What have I misunderstood?
V1 vs V2
New here and I appreciate your assistance on the lens. I have used the the Sigma 150 - 600 and have had great photos. I also have used a few older Canon lens and all have produced well.
Anyone try the Tamron 100-400 on the 90d? It’s pretty decent on the 70d.
Brian Odell i also have this lens and would love to hear if anyone has tried it with the newest sensor.
Craig Carlson I have it and it’s ok. When the conditions are perfect it’s great, but it’s pretty much 50/50. Check out his Facebook group, I’ve put some of my shots on there.
Liam, ok, thanks, i appreciate your sharing your experience.
Does the Sigma 85mm work with it, I saw the 50-100 lens does
Hi Michael, what about Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM?
No
Now I'm not sure it I should keep my 80D or upgrade to 90D? (Need both video and photos...) 80D better for fotos? 90D better for video? (120fps FHD and 4K)
Is there any other camera from the Canon company similar Canon 90D?
The 90D was a unique apsc crop sensor camera designed to do almost everything. Very good camera for the price.
On the mirrorless side, the Canon RP or EOS R can be had for a good price. Newer sensors and processor software.
@@lb7144 so the EOS RP AND R is an all in one everything type of camera? I kind of figured the 90D was a crop sensor camera that can do everything.
Naw, just better price points. The R6 is the better hybrid.
@@lb7144 oh okay. I'll be looking for something similar to the 90D other than that's close to a hybrid as the Canon R and Canon R.
Hows the 400 5.6L? Thats what I have and planning to upgrade to the 90D.
This one seems to have a mixed set of reviews from people. I personally would think it would work fine as long as you understand how to use it. It's hard to tell if the bad images people have been posting with it are due to the lens or user error. I think people try to use it in the wrong scenarios, forgetting that it lacks IS, or that you need a little faster shutter in a camera as dense as the 90D. I don't have mine anymore, I sold it off to get the 100-400mm mkII.
I see that both versions of the canon 24-105mm are on the not recommended list of lenses you published so I was a bit confused to see you recommend it here. Great video though 👍
HI Michael.. i am new to canon camera and got the 90D as this was rrecommended for Macro shooting, which is mainly what I shoot .,, I have been watching your videos, they have really helped me work my way around this brand new camera. My question is, when I have been practicing briefly over xmas my focus seems very limited to a minute area of a flower.. how do I bring the whole flower into focus and sharp? do I need to up the aperture to 5.6 and over as you mention? sorry, very new to this . I am trying to shoot in AV mode and avoiding dummy mode? I am using EFS 60mm Macro lens on the 90D ... is this one that is working okay?
Jo S . Your in luck with the 90d because it has focus bracketing. It takes multiple shots from one press focusing from front to back and you combine them with canon software and the result is a single image with everything in the image in focus. You would have to watch some youtube how to videos and experiment. You have an excellent lense and camera. You can also increase the aperture for a wider area in focus or move the flower further away and crop the image. Theres many macro instructional videos on UA-cam.
What would be the best lens to film yoga videos for a website or UA-cam please? I need your help
On the 90D? Canon 17-50 2.8
@@MMaven thank you! Does this mean I have the availability to film at 24 mm or 50 mm if I set it up like this? I am sorry, I am new into photography and videography. Trying to understand what the xx mm number means 🤔 😋
@@motita6554 The mm refers to the focal length of the lens. Smaller numbers mean wider fields of view. I would HIGHLY recommend my Canon 90D Crash Course. There is a beginners photography school in it that covers theses basics, and then it takes you through the more advanced lessons, like shooting video, doing portraits, using flash and much more. It will save you a lot of time and frustration: www.canontrainingvideo.com/downloads-c-7_12/canon-90d-crash-course-training-tutorial-p-149.html
@@MMaven thank you vert much for your help. I just took a look at the price of the lens you suggested and it is out of ny range. I was thinking to buy the 18-135mm as it comes in a bundle with the body. Do you think this lens would be good enough for filming yoga? Or do you have any other suggestion a bit cheaper please? 🙏💙
Michael cost being a big thing Sigma 100 -400 or Tamron 100 - 400 or the 18 - 400?
i just the 90d its on back order so im not sure when i'll get it
I just got mine in the mail yesterday(Sep. 4, from Adorama. I ordered it on Aug. 5th. So 1 month might be a good estimate. Worth the wait, amigo.
Hello Micheal The Maven and All, I am looking at buying the Canon 90D or the Canon 7D Mark II which camera focusing system workers better for wildlife and sports with the list of my lenses below? Or is there another Canon camera I should get?
1. Tamron SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2
2. Tamron 18-400mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD Len
3. Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L is II USM Telephoto Zoom Lens
4. Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM
I have been saving up all year my budget is between $1000.00 to $1400.00 and can only buy one canon so I need help to get the right one.
Thank you all that can help
Michael, you mention the Sigma 150-600 (C&S, as recommended), but not the Tamron 150-600 G2. How's that with the 90D? (I'm not on Facebook.)
Also seems good. We have a few users who love it
Wow, thanks for the rapid reply. Trying to make a decision. -Noel
i have the same question Michael. do u "recommend" it ? which one is better suited for the 90d... the Sigma or the Tamron ??
Sayak Samajdar I recommend the canon 100-400 v2
@@sayaksamajdar2979 I've a friend using the Canon 100-400 v2 and loving it. OTOH, I bought the Tamron 150-600 G2 and am very pleased. I do pull it in a bit to 550 for best sharpness.
Hey, the macro lenses shown - isn't the one on the left the RF? It wouldn't fit to the 90d.
All macro EF primes on the 90D that we seen work fine. Looks like my assistant accidentally put a wrong one in and we missed it. Take home message is the same: macro primes are fine.
I saw that too, you beat me too it. :)
Any lists like these for Sony?? apsc or ff? No worries if not, just wondering!
Tamron 150-600mm g2 or sigma 150-600 is best for wildlife ??
Michael I have a question. I upgraded last year when my 10 year old Rebel died. I thought I did enough research but am thinking now I’m over my head with the canon 90d. I wanted it for taking soccer & lax pics of my son & friends in high school. My lens which cost me a fortune is the 70-200mm 2.8. I noticed you didn’t mention it it your video. Is this not a good fit for the 90d?
No doubt!
What is your openion about canon 90 d with canon 70 to 300mm usm 2 lens?
I have it, it is very good, considering the new nano USM motors, so quick, accurate and silent. The IS is very good, I can easily take sharp pictures at 300mm as low as 1/50s...
You just have to make sure the front element is very clean on the lense ! with higher MP, it is even more exacting....
@@al171717s oh nice thank you for your information
I buy the 70-200mm f/4L IS usm ....not good with 90D?
What about the canon16-35mm?
The older L Series don’t work well with the 90D. They just don’t play nice with the 32mp sensor. So, no
