Right on! Have you got your lens yet? I think it's a great one for video as long as you're not trying full on handheld vlogs. In that case it can get a little rough, but otherwise it's a great lens! Super awesome for photography too

@@ChadEveryday I haven't got the lens yet. Still testing out the lens that came with the camera. Its really good, better than I thought! But I will be getting this new lens soon ☺️

Glad I could help out! It’s a great lens for sure, can be tough even in a small space, but it’s fairly simple to make it work so long and you can move the camera back far enough

The 50mm is amazing, but there are just some places it is too telephoto. It's really sharp, inexpensive, and dependable, however the 24mm can fix areas the 50mm can't handle!

It works great for video as long as you avoid stabilization issues!

For sure! Anything I can do to help out. It’s a really great lens for photo, not bad for video either. Really crisp and clear, I loved it

How is the lens for vlogging, in your experience...

Thank you Genaro. I'm a huge fan of the lens as well. I wish I would have hit on some more topics about it, such as photo. I'll try and do that in a later video, as I have quite a collection of photos shot on this lens.

@@ChadEveryday I think a dedicated video for stills will be very helpful to a lot of people. A lot of folks might be considering buying this lens for photography. This lens has a DXOMARK score of 20, outperforming in sharpness to Canon’s flagship more expensive EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM. Most of my best stills come from this little guy. Cheers!

Thanks friend! I'm happy to help any way I can!

For sure, it's a fantastic lens!

For the the 50mm is a fantastic lens for portraits and things, but I agree, it can be extremely too telephoto many times. Which is why I love this 24mm. The 35mm isn't a bad option either for a slightly bigger budget.

Aye thanks Barry! Christiansburg is such a sweet place. I’m not sure if you know it or not, but a lot of big name photogs live up that way. I used to go to the big photography event up there years ago, was always a blast! Mt. Rogers has some amazing locations! The Blue Ridge Parkway is also an amazing drive, especially during the fall of the year.

if you are using it in 4k, a lot of cameras (possibly even all) will zoom it way in because of how many more pixels there are compared to 1080p, it's kinda annoying but honestly, resolution is not important in the slightest for professional cameras (as long as we're talking from 1080p to 4K) because it's all about the color accuracy, the depth of field, and the aperture that makes a portrait shot look good.. so basically, if you are using it in 4K, that would probably be your problem

In this video I would say the lens was a good five feet away? It was nowhere near being close enough for me to reach without getting up and taking some steps over to it.

Technically you will have a crop so the actual field of view will be around 38.4. The crop comes From the camera sensor

@@ChadEveryday MUCHAS GRACIAS POR SU RESPUESTA

I wouldn’t recommend it for handheld videos due to no image stabilization. It’s a fantastic lens for photography and tripod videos though. For homemade videos I would recommend the 10-18mm

I don’t recall the settings exactly but if I had to wager a best guess it would have been: 1080p resolution 24 FPS f2.8 1/50 shutter speed And ISO was anywhere between 800-1600 I might have even ran the ISO a little higher and then ran a plug-in called neat video denoiser on top

@@ChadEveryday Thank you, I will take a look at that video denoiser

For sure you can! It will come with challenges due to the lack of image stabilization but if you have some sort of gimbal, do some slow motion, and/or are just really careful with your movements, you should be fine.

Yeah this one would be good for that. It has a crisp and clear image, is great for low light, and will have a tight enough crop to not have your whole face in frame. Another option would be to get a 50mm prime lens. It actually might be a better option than this one.

@@ChadEveryday Thank you so much! Is that the “nifty fifty”? Thank you for taking the time to reply to me, I so appreciate it!

It sure is! It actually might be a tad better too because you’ll have to move your camera a little farther back, which in turn will help any unwanted focusing sounds. Both are fairly quiet though. You’re welcome!

Technically yes it’s still a 24mm lens but the end result field of view you get out of it has to take the crop factor into account. The crop comes from the camera sensor, not from the lens. If that makes sense

@@ChadEveryday I am new to this so I am still learning and was seeing some videos stating that the red dot (or EF lens) is more for full frame cameras and those are the ones we have to do the 1.6 conversion on... but the EF-S (white square ones) are built for the cropped sensor so no conversion needs to be done since these can't even go on full frame.

The main difference between Ef-s and EF lenses is the build of the back. The EF lens has to take into account the size of the full frame sensor. You can buy adapters and use full frame lenses on EF-S mount cameras. It’s not exactly the same but think of 4K vs. 1080. 4K is like your full frame, you’re getting the entirety of it, whereas 1080 is a smaller or “cropped” version of it

@@ChadEveryday Thank you! Great information!

The 24mm being an EF-S lens may not work well if at all with the 5D mark 3. The 40mm pancake is just a EF lens around the same price point and should work okay. Being as how you have a full frame camera, that would give you the same focal length as the 24mm gives me on my crop sensor.

It would probably give you a vinet

Do you know what aspect ratio your video is set to? It could be that you are in widescreen, I accidentally cut that on for my most recent videos

@@ChadEveryday I can't seem to see where I can change it

@@ChadEveryday Just looked and the option is not there to change it on video but it is on photo mode. If I change it in photo mode, as soon as I switch to video, it crops? hmmmm

@@Chesterflaps I believe it is under the 5th menu set called camera options (which may be where you tried to change it). You should have 3:2 (default), 4:3, 16:9 and 1:1. 16:9 will give you the bars, I believe 3:2 is what you want to make sure it is set to.

​ @Your Property Matters Also, in the past, this video really helped me dial in those settings kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nL-Ge8Vz0KfWenU.html

Hey Mark! That is both correct and not at the same time. The lens itself has a true 24mm focal range, however you are correct in that the camera's sensor applies a 1.6x crop factor which results in the lens in comparison to full frame being a 36mm. I used to mention that in my review videos, but for some reason omitted it from this one.

Hey! I have the same camera I know this is pretty old but did you ever figure out which lens worked best for the t5i for recording videos

@@neenee4353 what i use right now is the 18-135mm f3.5 canon stm lens. The lens perform very well at during the day but at night in low light i have problems. I also use a external light what helps me but not what i want.

you will need an adapter that will convert a "EF/EF-S" to "EF-M".

I am sure he will answer you, but from everything I've seen it looks like it would be a really good choice. It seems to have a wide-angle, and when you have a crop sensor that adds to the focal length, you don't have to have the camera setup too far away from yourself , so you can fit into a relatively small room I would think. Sorry, I am no expert of course, but I have the same camera and your query is something I am trying to research also
