hi a question that people ask a lot is which lenses should I get that
is a very deep question every lens has a purpose every lens has a use lenses
are basically like tools each event you shoot each situation you're in requires
a different lens like you don't use a hammer and use that to cut wood actually
no see it doesn't work
I've been watching live videos and sound recently and this is a pretty echoey room but don't think
my wife's gonna let me put sound panels up oh well so you've just picked up the a 73 and you
may be new to photography you may be new to video you may be new to Sony you may be new to
mirrorless who knows you may be new to everything the question that people ask all the time is which
lenses should I buy for my Sony let me start by saying this there is no best lens the lens that
is good for everything there are certain tools required for certain jobs exactly the same thing
for cameras and lenses you need different lenses for different jobs different shoots you're going
to need different lenses I'm going to talk briefly about the three lenses that I use the ones that
work for me and why they might work for you as well number one the Sigma 16 mil F 1.4 lens going
to be a controversial one because it's actually an aps-c lens and the p73 is a full-frame camera
and also this isn't the Sigma 16 mil the lens I'm filming on is this is just a fill-in but anyway
the Sigma 16 mil F 1.4 there's nothing available right now that matches the quality of the Sigma 16
mil as well as the price in the full-frame market there's just nothing that matches out there so
that's why I still use this lens it's cheap it's equivalent to a twenty four mil in the crop which
means it's still a wide-angle lens at 24 mil it's a great length for landscape shots it's
a great length for these YouTube videos talking hair videos it's not great for portraits cuz it
kind of makes your face look long and super eights your features get a big nose and yeah
it's not great for portraits for these videos it gives you a large angle of view the bokeh is
insane beautiful tall here really nice this is at 1.6 the low-light performance is incredible
with it being in F 1.4 the autofocus is as quick as a Sony native ends Karla's are beautiful and
the images equally as beautiful so that's number one Sigma 60 ml f 1.4 number 2 use Sony 85 mil at
1.8 if you want to learn a little bit more about this lens click my video up here the low-light
bokeh beast the bokeh is just hang on bokor is basically yeah I went there and did that this
lens is great for anything involving people for both photography and the video portraits weddings
interview shots of course beautiful for b-roll as well the low-light is gray AF 1.8 the lens is made
incredibly well is very cheap for what you get comparable in quality to the Zeiss which is twice
the price nearly twice the price it's a prime lens so you do have to move around if you want
to reframe your shot but you have clear image zoom and you also have a crop mode on the a7 3 which
gives you additional reach because you zoom which you can use in 4k video and still looks great so
it's now more than an 85 so that is number two and number three some people will agree with us some
people will not agree with this the 70 to 200 F for Sony native sniper lens not snipers like
military sniper like sniper because you can stand from the back and zoom in and get shots from far
away great thing about this lens is it's really good for standing far back and getting people's
reactions I say like a wedding or if you're an event and the cameras are not right in their face
so you get reactions you can get emotions that you wouldn't normally get if you have the camera right
up right in someone's face sometimes and always gonna act as genuine or as is real or they're
gonna be a little bit uncomfortable with this you stand back you can get real raw emotions and for
weddings this is a perfect lens if you're outside and in daylight this is a go-to for all kinds of
events inside it's an f4 so it's not the greatest in low light that's when I typically go to the 85
but yeah outside out and about this is a fantastic lens at the Sony 70 to 200 sniper lights this lens
Believe It or Not at an f4 if you're zoomed in all the way when you zoom in you get better bokeh
and every time I look at the images back from this after I've recorded video I'm astonished and just
blown away by the quality of the image that this produces it's an expensive lens but it's worth
every single penny I do believe and I think it's important that everybody owns one of these it's a
very valuable piece of kit that when you need it and you have it you will appreciate it so that's
my three lenses the three recommendations I'd say for you now I know what you're gonna say there is
a big gap between my fill in Sigma 16 mil and my 85 this is pretty much a 24 so between 24 and 85
I've got enough and there is a gap I entirely agree with you actually I'm the Sigma 30mm seen
this video here I stopped using it I just didn't have a use for anymore I found myself using other
lenses and I stopped using it so I sold it that for me is enough of a test to say I don't need
anything in between that gap there so why bother owning something if I don't need it the 85 covers
most of what I want to use when I'm walking around I can walk in closer I can use Clear Image Zoom I
can crop I can walk out I got two legs I think are backwards that's no problem it's a prime
lens if you're used to shooting over prime lenses you have to do that anyway so to me that's no big
deal walk back get your framing that way and use a beautiful and still so there we go those are
the three lenses that I use for video I'm filming with my a7 3 and 3060 302 as I said this is what I
use it may not be great for you but to fill you in on kind of what I shoot and if these lenses might
be good for you if you shoot some other things as well I shoot weddings I shoot small business
videos I shoot small commercial style things I shoot content and I shoot YouTube videos those
are the things I shoot and for me the 7200 the 85 and the Sigma 16mm F 1.4 are enough for me
and they work and if you shoot similar stuff to what I do work for you as well appreciate you
