What's up everyone?! I’m super interested in knowing if this Canon SL2/200d best lenses video was helpful. Which of these lenses did you like best? Which do you want to get? What would be on your lens wish list?. Did you like the video? Was there too much detail? Not enough? What did you like, and also, what did you not like? What would you like to see more of? Would love to know what you think, good or bad. I am grateful in advance 🙏

The most honest and helpful reviewer on KZfaq.

Really great video, I just bought my 200D this year and slowly building up my lens collection. This video is super helpful for those just getting into photography and not knowing which lenses to invest it. My wish list has definitely grown since this video. Thank you!!

Many older lenses like Canon's 28-135 are just amazing. They perform just like professional lenses, have OIS and have a USM motor. I was able to pick up a 28-135mm for only £49 and it was a great lens till it rolled off a table. You don't always need to spend thousands on lenses as there's loads of hidden beautiful lenses out there. However this video is just amazing and I do recommend the lenses shown in this video, plus this person knows well what he is talking about so I'm definitely subbed.

thanks for not giving up on the canon SL2 can't wait to use this thing more!

You're truly one of the best youtuber out there, and really professional who always provide us decent quality of videos. Much appreciated.

thank you. i'm a beginner and just purchased the SL3. your videos have helped me tremendously getting going in the right direction and this one is no exception. I had purchased the actual "nifty fifty" but after talking with a friend he gave me a reality check and I was second guessing it due to the cropped sensor. call it fortuitous or dumb luck but the lens was actually delayed in shipping and i found this video. i cancelled that order and instead purchased the Sigma Art 30mm f/1.4 Lens. i haven't received it yet but i feel like i'm making a much more informed decision that puts my mind at ease. really appreciate all of your content.

Awesome video! Really helpful info and the footage is incredible! Love your vids ❤️ can't wait for the next one!

Great video and really helpful! Would like to add that the 24mm f/2.8 pancake lens is also a great addition. It's a highly versatile and portable lens.

A whole lot of beginners are choosing the SL2 based on your in-depth reviews. Some of us are looking to use it specifically for travel video and photography. I think it would be a great idea for you to make a video showing us what accessories you think are essential (stabilization, lenses and what/where/when to shoot with them, shooting techniques, audio improvement, memory cards and batteries, drone to pair etc). As far as I can tell there isn’t a single video out there for highlighting an ideal setup for travel for the SL2. Looking forward to seeing this one!

Thanks for the transparency. I just started my own KZfaq channel and stumble through my words and take 50 takes. Your channel is one of my favorites.

Thank you for the clear explanation. That helped a lot 😊

This new update from you is very helpful thank you sooo much. I hope you can also make a video tutorial for photography using manual mode I always used auto mode since i cant get a good shot

Man .. just some probs from me dude .. Everytime i need to know something about cameras your vids pop up .. and they dont disapoint ...

Big Thanks. I just buy my first caméra "SL2" and I love your vidéo. Easy to understand for a beginner like me. Big Thanks 🙏👌

100% most realistic unbiased review I've seen. I already have all the lenses i could ever want except for the 24-70mm but I love your vids and viewpoints

The Sigma 17-50 f/2.8 (OS version) is a great alternative medium zoom lens also, amazingly sharp.

24mm pancake is a good one, it makes that camera so tiny and able to throw into my coat pocket

Very helpful as I’m learning photography with my Canon 200D

I would never normally write a comment like this, but you really do a great job. Always informative, precise in language used and professional. really useful chanel, well done to you!

Nice recommendation. I own 200D, & have added a 50mm 1.8STM. I thought that would be the only EF lens people would use with lower range APSC camera.

Solid video, man. For my use, which is travel photography/videography I try to travel as minimal as I can. I had the 55-250, but I always had to swap lenses to get anything below 55, which happened too often for my liking. I tested and settled on the 18-135 which gives me tremendous flexibility when exploring. I agree on the Sigma 18-35, that lense is absolute 🔥. Unfortunately, I returned it because it's a bit too heavy to travel long term with. Once I settle down, definitely going to be my "studio" lense for sure. Thanks to your video, I'm about to test out the Sigma 30 to see if I can still get similar quality to that of the 18-35 minus the size and weight. If it all works out, my travel kit would consist of the Canon 18-135, Sigma 30, and Canon 24 (it's so small it's hard not to take it for back up). Thanks for the information. Cheers!

Great information! Love your channel and SL2 playlist!

Thank you for these videos it has helped me so much and I keep coming back for this lense video

_Can't wait for your _*_SL3_*_ review_

Can I use these lenses with the sl3?

This was a really well-made video. Thank you so much for the info

Found this video super useful , thank you

Haha I finished the 4k like ❤️

Apsc lenses dont have the range x1.6 so 55-250 is 55-250

Really most helpful from this video updating videos and helping thank you so much

He gives the best info! His video about the SL3/250D showed the hidden negatives of the camera! I was very impressed then. Thank you for uploading & sharing your knowledge. 😊

Hi I've been shooting with a Sony A350 for about 10 or 12 years now and just got a Cannon SL2 it came with 3 lenses and your videos have been a big help for me. Thank You.

Great video well explained, Looking at getting the 200d & my take away was to invest more in the lens than the body. Brilliant thank you

Just starting our journey with 250D and this video is excellent.Thank you!

Awesome video man. Thanks for all the great tips!

Thank you very much for your videos, they are the best on YT! Your in-depth review of the SL2 made me buy one today and I'm loving it. Looking forward to improve my options with the telephoto lens you mentioned here. Wish you all the best!

Top notch work as always man. Will definitely be going for the kit lens when I get the 200D, as you say, seems like a great lens for me to learn on. I'm going travelling this year though so this video has helped showing that the Canon 10-18 will be great for getting the landscape shots I'm going to want as well. Thanks again dude!

Wow. I’m just getting into photography and keep coming across your videos. This is a really good channel, I like how active you are and appreciate how you keep in touch with the comments. I usually don’t make comments like this, but you’re amazing man. Seriously, keep it up.

Great video as always. Very informative.

great review, thank you so much!

Simple review and love it

Being new to the world of photography (Not strictly true, as I have been using a Fujifilm Finepix S4080) but have decided I need something more up market for future us, so decided to go with the Canon SL2 (in my case 200D). After watching quite a few video tutorials on DSLR's, I am pleased to say that your presentations on camera (and in this case lens choices), stands out above everything else I have seen. BTW ……… I loved the bloopers at the end of this video, it shows you have a great sense of humour too. Keep up the good work

Very helpful video thank you. What would be a good wide angle lens for shooting night skies with this camera?

Another quality video, great info!

I just bought my first Canon SL2 and I Love it! I haven't tested it yet, but I will be testing it with my Canon 24-90mm Lens! My favorite Lens in your video is the 24-70mm Lens! That Lens is definitely on my Wish List!🗽📷

well done awesome report thank you love the last one 100 macro wow

Thank you so much. Very helpful and useful content.

Very helpful video thank you

Thank you, this video was helpful for me

So much great info. Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM Lens is definitely on my wishlist

awesome video! i recently bought a canon 200d that already came with the 24mm f/2.8 lense, but i was wondering if you would recommend also buying the 50mm f/1.8. thanks!

Great lens options! I just got a Tokina ATXAF120DXC 11-20mm f/2.8 Pro DX Lens for Canon EF to film some workouts on my Sl2. I loved my 24mm pancake, but I was always cutting off a body part.

Love your bloopers!

haha awesome man. Glad this video is finally out! Appreciate all the work you put into these videos.

Helps a lot thank you!

Nice video, straight to the point

There's so much valuable info in this video. My biggest takeaway is invest in the lenses and not the body. I'm going to go with the very affordable 50mm prime lens (For my SL2) with the 1.8 aperture because it's a faster lens and will let in more light in for panning B-Roll shots of computer tech! Hopefully I can pan without the image stabilization on my fluid head tripod without any issue and I feel like the 1.8 aperture will let more light in to reduce the grain that seemed to be prevalent even with a TON of light on my kit and wide angle lens that has 4 times the aperture.

Excellent video. Very useful.

Very helpful! Thank you so much :)

I really have to compliment your explanations of focal lengths, appature, exposure etc as you go. Fantastic video. Thank you.

Great video I got two on the list I’m grabbing

Amazing video, thank you!

Great video, Sagi! I need to start investing in L glass.

Great videos!! ☺️ I got a canon RP camera for my birthday, are there any specific settings for a blurry background effect on the camera or does it need a special lens? If so which one would you recommend? Thank you in advance ☺️

I have a winner! Just bought this camera at ebay today, can’t wait for it to come. I watched tons of videos regarding this camera. I’m really more into Toy Photography and with your videos it helped me decide which camera to get. Now watching this video makes me realize I should invest in some lenses as well. Thanks dude! Your channel is absolutely A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

great video! helped a lot.

Thnak you I am learning first time DSLR camera buyer

I am using this camera and i am loving every moment.

Amazing info! Thx

Love your videos !!!

Great vid! Which lens would you recommend for a beginner wanted to capture wildlife/landscape photos on an SL3?

Thanks for sharing Ross

Great video! very useful to make a purchase decision

Thanks for yet another very interesting and informative video!

Hi, great video!!! I have an SL2 and have been wanting to step up the image quality of my shots. For the most part I have the intro lens, 18-55, 55-250 and 35-80. I think I bought a better-quality lens in the 18-135, f4-5.6. I luv this lens, it's my go-to, everyday lens. I like the zoom range the most, it's very versatile. How would you rate this lens as compared to the 24-70 f4 that you mention in the video. I'm considering it for an improvement in image quality over the 18-135. Also, considering the 24-105 f3.5-5.6, I assume that the 24-105 f3.5-5.6 is in between 18-135 f4-5.6 and 24-70 f4 in terms of quality. With the image quality much better than the 18-135 f4-5.6, but not as good as the 24-70 f4. So my thinking is to go with the 24-70 f4 as the best improvement in image quality I mostly take landscapes and portraits. Any advice would be highly appreciated. thanx, mark

Hey great video, I use my 200d to film boxing and mma videos and i love the autofocus feature, I would like to get a better quality and professional look to the clips, which lens would you recommend that supports the autofocus? I only use my camera for videos so I am not bothered about pictures much. Please advise if you can it would really help :)

Very informational review and it's a perfact lence

What lens would you recommend for this camera for portrait videos? For gym videos Thanks

love your videos .. I am curious if you have made any video about astronomy and the best lens to use for that. please let me know and thanks for the awesome videos

Greetings, I used to be a higher end professional portrait photographer when we all were shooting nothing but medium format (Hasselblad at our studio, speaking of expensive lenses). Then digital lowered everyone's standards for in-camera skill and our studio closed and I had to get a real job. I've been watching your vids because I'm about to dive into video, but just for personal use. As someone who knows lenses, I think you nailed it better than anyone else I've heard regarding reasons to consider lens X vs. lens Y. My only reco to you might be to emphasize, even more than you do, that you buy lenses for life and digital bodies for a couple/few years. Also, when choosing your first system (Canon, Sony, etc.), I like to tell people, if you have a friend who already has a fairly well appointed system, simply buy into the brand your friend has. Image quality is great across brands anymore and feature set superiority flip-flops back and forth w new models. So you really are buying into a lense system. Therefore, if you have a friend w several lenses you might be able to barrow... DONE! Now get together w your friend and buy complimentary specialty lenses. I have a nice collection of glass from L-series (my use only) to EF-S glass I share w my wife and son. If money is no object, I can't say enough about L series glass! Simply awesome! Now, I have a Canon 50mm EF 1.4 lens you mention here that I find very disappointing. It is the only lense in my stable that will not focus accurately. At the distance of a normal bust portrait it will always focus about 2 inches closer than it should. Focus on the eyes and it will be just a bit out. Focus on the ears and the eyes are tack sharp and the ears are a bit out. Unfortunately, my son keeps that lens in his bag, so I hadn't noticed this problem for a couple years or I would have sent it back. He compensates for it when shooting stills, but that won't work w video. Have you had any issues with any of your ultra fast lenses? My guess is other cheaper lenses with an aperture of f4 or higher may be as far off but it simply can't be detected when the depth of field is 4X deeper than with an f1.4 lens. Of course, my 85mm 1.2L suffers no such affliction. Thank you, though, for the quality reviews.

Owh! Thanks! That's really helpful.

Amazing video!👍👍👍👍

HI, Thank you for your video! Very helpful and very well explained ! I just bought the macro lens Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM .

Super helpful!!!

Great video sir!!! What do you think about the Canon 24 mm pancake lens?

Another thing with fixed aperture is as you zoom in video the opening stays the same and does not harm your effect. Bodies are transitory but glass is forever. I am creating my collection slowly with what I need. I am not just buying willy nilly. I get what I need for the workflow, not my ego. Love your videos and straight forward and no gimmicks. Another little tip I got on non stabilized lenses is to shoot double the focal length on your shutter speed, and shake is minimized. So 50mm is 1/100th of a second. Actually works. Also that nifty fifty has a noisy focus mechanism. Sounds like you are grinding coffee beans, but it works a treat. Thank you.

Hi Sagi. I chanced upon your article and I am blown away with how informative, on point, and amazing it is for budding photographer/ beginners like me. Knowing about lenses was a very useful for me. However, I need your help and will appreciate it very much as I am super confused about buying my first camera. Nikon vs canon vs. Fujifilm. Have a trip to Egypt soon and a canon ambassador suggest 16-35 and 24-70mm lens in full frame to get wide angle and nice coverage for great architecture and landscape photography + 50mm for low light/ portrait. . A. Now I will go apsc to manage budget. Please help choose the apsc lens equivalent of aforementioned lenses? Will they come under ultrawide/ wide and will be sufficient to cover wide areas. B. I am getting a cheap deal on 18-135 as I heard it's an all rounder. Should I buy it and ditch 18-55, 55-250 kit lens and 50 mm? And just travel light with 18-135 + one ultra wide/ wide angle lens? Will it be sufficient to cover architecture+ landscape+ streets + portrait? Color science and depth is very important too. C. Finally am confused b/w Canon sl2 vs Canon sl3 vs M50 mark 2..which one should I buy? (Getting many canon apsc sellers and lens deals on olx. Getting just 15-45 lens + m50 mark 2 two ads. ). I heard canon sl3 has great color science and is good for both video and photo. Should I buy that? And are canon full frame lenses compatible with it too just like sl2?

Thanks for making all these videos suited around the SL2/200D! I never thought I would get into videography, but it’s something that has recently sparked my interest and I ended up selling my Canon 5D Mark II to fund my purchase of the 200D plus accessories. All your videos have been informative! Could you make a video on which focus modes you would use in different situations? Like shooting time lapse of me building/painting a wall as I’m remodeling our soon to be born babies room. Should I use the “tracking”, “smooth zone” or “live 1-point” autofocus modes?? Anything helps! Thanks!

It's the camera i am gonna buy,it fits my budget and will help take my channel to the next level

I have the Tamron 90mm macro lens and love it. Although not the latest version which is double the price, I have had some crisp shots from it.

Hey hey, Thank you for the great review. I would like to know which lens would you suggest for product videos? I want to start shooting like video reviews of small products with different angles, camera movements on slider,rotating table etc. It will be done in studio , with lights. Do you think that standard 18-55 mm will do the job?

Great work❤

Thank you for this very informative video! I still have one more question, though. I really like the effect of a 35mm lens on a full frame camera because it creates a nice bokeh in portraits. But because of the crop factor on the canon sl2 this effect disappears. So which lenses are a good alternative? What would you recommend?

Got my 200d yesterday. I'm happy for my dslr.

I know it's more than a year later, but could you recommend an adapter & lens(es) for the canon Eos RP for KZfaq videos about beauty tutorials, study with me, home remodeling, etc..all of this stuff really boggles my mind.TIA

Hi tech gear talk the images you used in the video are those all shot from sl2 ? and thank you for the amazing video very helpful

The thoroughness of your lens review presents a clear set of options - highlighting what works, what doesn’t, and often what could work better in various shooting situations. Thank you. And, what the possibility of you reviewing Canon’s EF-M 32mm f/1.4 lens, which appears to be a great prime lens for the M50?

The end was so good to see that I am not the only one that struggles in video making and it has nothing to do with the gear.... at least it is an international phenomenom xD. greetings Detlef

thousand thanks for these amazing videos ! could you make a video on what kind of lens are needed for sports video recording ( eg slow motion is needed, crystal clear subject(s) that is over 5 meters away among other people, stay focosing on 2 people despite the fact that 3m aways there are more people etc) and also some tips? I guess that could apply for wildlife videos but I am not really sure ( will be getting the sl2 most probably )
