16mm is WAYY too much fun!
Hi! Nice video. Thank you! I started my youtube channel and film cinematic travel videos so your videos help me a lot! There are so many things to learn but with channels like yours it much more easier) If someone interested in cinematic travel videos you are welcome to support me by joining my chanel)
Are you able to do a comparison with the f4 & the f2.8 gm, I am curious what are your thoughts on it
Homes Media we talked a little about it on one of our videos to NYC in BH, there is minimal difference in look! We decided to stick with f4 cause it’s lighter for video
90mm Macro G series Lens
Which one mam canon Sony or what ?
If 16mm is the life of the party, you guys are the 90mm macro, sipping craft beer on the rear balcony discussing existentialism.
🖤😊
Ramon Solorio LOLOL more like craft Soda! 😂
It’s been years and years, but I always come back to fast wide lenses. I remember how impossibly cool they seemed when I first saw pictures from them. Love this series!
The Enthusiasm Project same I remember when I first shot with a 10mm on an A-PSC camera and I was mind boggled!
I'm just LOVING this series!
Love this series! I’m currently shooting on a micro 4/3 25mm so I guess 50mm equivalent! It’s always awesome to see how people work with ONE focal length, it forces you to be more creative
Watching this video in 4k was amazing!! Keep killing it guys! Loving the content and the journey of each video.
I love watching your vids on my Sunday morning. It's become routine:)
Mic Rose aw glad to hear it!
I love this video! Can’t believe I’ve only just come across this series you’ve created - I need to watch the rest now 😍
Hmm...16mm is a focal lenth that alot people don't think for portrait but the results were quite interesting.
Yash Gupta it’s super fun, definitely not one I’d go for for professional headshots but for creative portraits, DEFINITELY!
@@BeckiandChris yeah for creative shots it seems quite fun, will have to try it out.
shot this at 16mm on the bmpcc4k. ua-cam.com/video/JaT5kA8gMxc/v-deo.html
This is a really useful series, and wide angle was definitely something I needed to look at! Thanks guys!
Love this series! Can't even tell you how helpful this stuff is for newbies!
Joseph Parsons so glad to hear it!!
distortion is one of my fav things of wide lenses!! absolutely love it!!
I love it!
Absolutely loving this new series Becki and Chris! Great info!
Kerry Allen thanks so much! It’s a ton of fun to make!
That photo of Johnny Harris in the woods is sooo good! Love it! ❤️ The best one for me!
Absolutely love the examples of shots for each point you make! Feeling inspired af to go out and shoot now!
Take a shot every time you hear “distortion” or any version of the word. Lol
Bri Elle you are gonna get shit faced! 😂
I had the choice between the Sony F4 16-35 and the Tamron F2.8 17-28.
Im so glad I took the Tamron as you're so right about missing that extra stop of light.
New video after 2 weeks
It's PERFECT 😊
Woah the portraits of Chris in the wind and the other Chris in the mirror are AMAZING
One of your best videos yet!
loving this series - 85mm for the next vid would be really cool as you said 🙌🏼 can’t wait for it
i have the 16-35 f4 and oh my, going travelling with that is fun. For travel where I want to capture the environment, this is one of my fav lense :)
Love this video! The FPV shots are unreal. I just bought a cheap adapter for my A7R3 to use old Nikon-mount glass I got when I was much younger. One being a real cheap 16mm but I've fallen in love with the wide look and it not being tack sharp, gives it character!
A video featuring my 3 favorite UA-cam cinematic universe couples! So awesome to see IZ and Johnny on other channels.
Ace Hamilton they are all so great!
I love this video!! Very helpful and exciting! 16mm is my Fav Focal Length… thanks for creating and sharing this awesome video.
HEY GUYS. Can’t agree more the 16mm is my fav for creative shots. Love love love it. Keep up the great work
Oooo, a 16mm *hastily scribbles it on the ever growing wish list*. The shots look so cool, I particularly like the one in the trees.
Dozens of helpful info about the 16 mm with examples. 👏
That intro broll through the trees!!! 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That's great! I love my 16-35L and... AND! your videos :)
Those FPV drone shots were amazing! I got you Dr. Chris
That photo of Chris looks so dope!!!
Specially with the distortion 👏🏼❤️
These focal length challenges just make me wanna go o and capture all the photons! Thank you for making great content!
HashBrown HomeGym hell yes!!!
Love this series!
I love these videos feels like a movie
Nice seeing you becki ty for the video
I'm loving this series!! I'm putting in a vote for 35mm, mainly because I'm crushing on the EOS R/35mm 1.8 combo :)
Holy sh^t! I just stumbled upon this and the cast in this video is insane! I just kept seeing all these huge names showing up one after another. Crazy seeing everyone before there channels blew up to what they are now. Wow awesome video.
Wow. Makes me get into photos. Love the color too🧑🏻🎤
Nice. Thank you. Good vid.
wow Amazing portriats
Thank you!
Very nice. I agree if you play with the distortion it works.
Your videos inspires me so much. Thanks.
I really dig this series! Such a cool idea and obvi, sick photos Becki. Keep it up!
JHawk thanks much! Having a shit load of fun with it!
at 9:20 arch photo shoot is best in parallel view for not so much distortion and lie to a client. because the room looks bigger. cheers
Great video and I love your hair. 👍🏻
Loving the series! Cool earrings Becky!
Love your videos all the time. I have a huge back log to catch up on from where I last left off 🙌🏾🙌🏾
No Bug, No Bullshit, Only crystal clear information. Loved it.
Thank you for your 16mm Focal Length Challenge.
When I first started shooting professionally, I did not even have a wide-angle lens. However, my first assignment at the newspaper were I was working was to photograph the grand opening an Ethan Allen furniture store. That was when I realized I really needed a wide-angle lens. Over years, I added 35, 28, 24, 21, 18, and 14mm wide-angle lenses to my inventory. I have never tried using my 18 or 14mm lenses in a one-lens/one-body challenge.
Even if I hate the video cmon I can't even take my eyes of you Becki why do beautiful
Oh, I really got to try this! Thank you for yet another great video!
That 16mm is crazy! Love how that forest shot turned out
👍Love the series. Glad to hear others are also pulling for 85mm. 16-35 f2.8 in my travel kit was a practical choice due to space consideration (purchased before the Tamron 17-28 debut) and it does spend a lot of time on the camera. I use 16mm, but infrequently. 18mm is about is about my limit before things get a bit too weird for my eye. But yes, very wide shots can be used for dramatic perspectives and cool effects! If you are not obsessed with keeping your vertical lines straight in the frame it can be fun. 😅
Thanks for another good video. I really like the distortion on the 16 mm. Recently got one but have not got the chance to experiment more with! But now with our current situation (curfew) I see an opportunity there!
I LOVE a wide lens! 24 is my "go to" but HOT DAMN! 16mm is LIT!!!!
and the drone shots!! Was that FPV? OMG!!! I think I need to move to BC
Chris you freaking kill it every time with the fpv shots
Joshua Cappello he’s getting so good!
Your hair color is out of this world. 🔥
Everything looks tasty AF at 16mm!!
16-35mm f2.8 is my favorite and I usually use it at 16mm :) thanks guys!
We JUST got a 16mm Sigma lens. Can’t wait to start experimenting with it!
Thanks... Think im gonna buy it now❤
We've been using a 16mm for all (well... most) of our travel shots/vids lately. It's for a crop sensor, so not quite a true 16, but still love it! Loving this series, guys! ✌️🖤 🤙
really cool video! Lens challenges are a really cool idea!
Aye guys...tanx again for the video...im learning photography and im in some good hands...i need a 16mm too..i like that relation to it being a fav..god bless and i love this challenge
Gonna head out with a wide angle after this vid ... 👊
This series should be on Netflix... I LOVE it!
Lucas Pellicer Ruibal thanks!!
Finally got the sigma 16mm and I love it
Hunting wild boar is my thing.
🤣 you are the best
Just commented on Lizzie’s vid. My 6 favourite Creators all together 😮😍
That hair thoo!!! I LOVE
Subscribed for the jokes about boars 😂 literally laughed so hard. Happy to see a Canadian photography channel! Cool videos
I'm really liking this charcoal color grade on your photos/videos these days. Have you ever talked about how you create the look? Cheers!
Nice video 👍
Are you making more of these videos?? I love them!! Would you do the 50 mm??
I think 16mm makes such cool looking pictures. My favorite was the orange jacket in the tall trees. Awesome shot 👍
Old Lady Angler that’s one of my faves too!
Nice shot!! I've been shooting with my 14mm a lot for the last 2 weeks. It's definitely pushing boundaries and forcing creativity.
I’m in Sydney Australia, just a few minutes before to shoot a band. I have the 24-70 and the 16-24 in my backpack. So I’ll try something different and I’ll share with you ;) Wish me luck!
Great video Becki. I just picked up a 16-35 2.8 GM for my A7R IV. You made me feel good about the expensive purchase.
Eddie Nunez worth it!!
I am coming into this comment section a bit late, but I just purchased a 16mm RF lens for my vertical specific video rig (EOS R8) in order to also produce and create very unique perspectives for clients reels which can (hopefully) set me apart from others who *just* shoot in the more common 28mm style "vertical phone" field of view. Greets from New Hampshire!
Great series, like to challenge myself with primes
Thank for this look at the 16 mm . I have been thinking about getting a wider lens. This might just be the one I’m looking for. By the way I love how your photos and your video seem to match.
shot this at 16mm on the bmpcc4k. ua-cam.com/video/JaT5kA8gMxc/v-deo.html
Nice channel you have keep it up greets from Belgium
Great video and you have an amazing screen presence Becki! Love the specs and your optometrist needs some credit on the anti-glare. South African travelling to Thailand and before I left, somebody was selling a Sony NEX-5 with kit lens for USD53 so I snapped it up. Its dated , but thats okay ! While here I bought a Samyang 12mm F2 MF lens for USD137. Used to do some photography waaaay back PD (Pre-Digital) but now sticking my toe in again and needed some tips to get the best out of this lens. Absolutely loved your guys video re some tips and now a subscriber to get some more amazing tips on all things photography ! Keep up the good work!
Love your channel and content! Wish I found it sooner
Oh ma gosh!! So happy to see you guys back in Vancouver 💙. Looks like you got some killer weather. Hope it was as cool as you remembered! I would probably shit my pants if I saw you guys casually strolling through the city. 👖
Roland Kaufmann it was so good to be back!
Good info! I have a 12-24 mm DX zoom lens and I have been trying some creative portrait work..THANKS!
Loved this video. 16 mm is very intimidating for me. I haven’t shot in a 16 mm in a long time. Will definitely try something soon. Thanks guys
Prajwal Naveen it’s so much fun!
Of the Sigma 16, 30 and 56 f1.4 which would you guys recommend?
Thank you.
I love wide angle! I loved 10-18mm lens for canon (tho on my cropped sensor with 1.6 factor 10 is more like 16mm) and i loved using it for event photography (electronic music festival for shooting groups of people to be precise) :D
A month ago i bought new phone (Redmi Note 8T) that has ultra wide lens and 48MP camera... Tbh i don't care about 48MP as much as I do about that wide angle because now storytelling with my photos is way more dramatic because of distortion 👽☺️👌🏻
Love using my 17-40 f4 L and it's mostly used at 17mm.
Gosh, the images you took at 16mm were oooooh just 👌🏼I usually shoot 35mm, 50mm or even macro but not so much 16mm unless I do astrophotography. You have inspired me to take portraits with 16mm
Amrita Bhortake aw thanks! Yay glad to hear it!
I see the Vancouver winter weather still doesn't disappoint.
Hubert Figuière perfection as always!
I love it .. the distortion it generates is a great compositional element if you know how to use it
Cristian Diaz PH totally agree!
I must say I like your hair and glasses. Great video and info I need to get me a 16mm lense I’m new to photography your channel is a big part of my learning. Much appreciated Side not: I ordered that black dust mask from the previous video. Thanks again
Ever consider teaching a Skill share class?
You had me at Vancouver
Fun vid thanks! Subbed.
I brought a Canon 6D Mark II last week. I'm loving it, of course. But my main lense, a Sigma 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3, is only for APS-C sensor, so I'm limited to my other lens, a 50mm f/1.8.
Watching this video makes me want to shoot wide soooooo much 😭
