Damn bro this video is spot on. Just a went through a whole camera purge and sold a few items to KEH. I think the issue we face the “consumer” is being bombarded by KZfaqrs saying we need this lens and we need this body. I’m guilty of falling into it at times but if I have gear i’m not using I just sell it. It’s pointless to have it sitting there. As always thanks for keeping it 💯

Dee bringing some sanity to counter the massive KZfaq marketing machine. Love it. I recently let go a bunch of gear to MPB that falls in line with this video. As a hobbyist I thought I needed two bodies and overlapping primes and zooms for all the wrong reasons. Well, mostly because KZfaq influencers told me I needed them. Learning to keep it simple now and buy only what is needed and will be used. Thanks Dee!

On the same theme I stumbled across the documentary " The Minimalists " during lockdown and it really made me evaluate all aspects of my own consumerism in a positive way. Photography wise I have all the cameras, lenses, bags etc I realistically need, resaleable at a profit because I always bought used carefully at good prices. If I really feel a different camera or lens is going to add value to my enjoyment of what for me is a hobby then it has to be funded by letting go of an existing item, that really makes you consider the trade. I've drawn a line and ringfenced my expenditure to the value of the gear I have now. It feels good and quite liberating to be honest.

Hi 👋🏻 I’m a French viewer that love to watch your videos. I’m started my photography journey recently and bought a 2nd hand X-pro 3 and 27mm 2.8. I just purchased an 56mm 1.2 that I will receive soon. My question is, wich lens do you recommend me for larger field of view ? I’m hesitating between 18mm 2.0 or 16mm 2.8. Can you confirm me that I will have a significant difference between 18 to 27mm apsc ? Best regards Quentin

Great advice. I love Borrow Lenses. I rented a second FX30 for a gig and charged that to the client. I am getting a second body. This one will be the A6400, which I'm planning to use as my walkaround photography camera. I'm moving away from shooting photos on my phone and this cam also shoots 4K and can be used as a b cam and a webcam.

@homecareful 6 ай бұрын
Gulty as charged. I wondered briefly why we don't see any more videos like this one. Then I realized after doing this video where do you go from here? Most of the camera audience for KZfaq are people who want to make a good decision on buying gear. So if they stop buying gear, why do they need you? I can see only one more video after this, entitled "Go Out and Shoot" but that completes the series. 1. Stop buying gear and 2. Go Out and Shoot.

I think you have a point. But I think having a bunch of lenses and maybe even a few bodies can be part of the fun of the hobby. A lot of the lenses I have I bought because I also just like how they look, it's fun owning it and just looking at it or playing around with it. Sure I could just limit my gear down to what I actually "need" and just have one fixed lens camera and do all the photography I do now. But it's also fun to have the choice and kind of try a bunch of lenses and bodies over the years, you can always sell it.

@mvonwalter6927 6 ай бұрын
Whenever I have two of the same lens I inevitably just favor and shoot one of them. Right now, for my main 50mm it's a much slower f2.8 over a 1.4 because it's smaller, better ergos and I rarely find myself needing (or nailing focus on) a 1.4. "BUT f2.8 IS SO SLOW!" It really isnt. Especially on digital. The rendering is different so that's the main reason I hold on to the 1.4. But would I miss it if it was gone? Not really. Same with 85mm. I almost always just pick up my DSLR and it's excellent 85/1.8 over my Leica. Yet I still own a 90mm for my Leica. I love the 28mm for my DSLR. Is it fast? Nope! Another 2.8. Should I spend $800 for a Leica CV in 28mm?.... I probably wouldn't use it as much so why? ...and don't get me started on redundant film bodies. Do I need one for each mount? (sigh)

I think the mistake people often make is they consume too many videos and see this new tech and images taken with that tech. Doing that brings the hype and makes you believe you need to buy it to create similar images. Same with presets etc. This happens more when we are not making images much and we forget how good the stuff we own is. I only ever own one camera and usually keep that camera for 5-6 years at least. I had one lens for years and now have had the 23, 35, 50 f2 and the XT3 bought on discount for 999 for the last 4-5 years because, honestly that is all I need to cover 99% of my use cases. In the future I may pickup the 90 f2 but only when I specifically need it otherwise it may only get used for like 5% of images which would be a poor investment.
