Hi, this is JP Morgan today on the slanted lens we're gonna take a look at why the 70 to 210 millimeter
f4 lens
Might be the right choice for you
We want to give a special shout out to borrow lenses or a great sponsor here at the slanted lens
It's a great place to rent things to try them out to see what you like a great place to rent something if you need
An extra lens for the weekend for your shoot or an extra lens you want to try out?
So just go to borrow lenses and check them out barlas comm so now let's get to the five reasons
Why the 72 210 millimeter f4 might be the right lens for you?
Every lens purchase is a very personal decision. It's based on the money that you have. It's based on what you shoot
It's based on the cameras that you have
Cameras and lenses are very personal decisions because they really dovetail into what it is that you do
That's why there's so many different manufacturers out there who make so many different cameras and lenses
So every lens and every camera is not right for every person
So let's take a look at why the 72 210 millimeter f4 might be a great lens for you
so cost is a major issue and one of the reasons why a 72 210 f4 might be the right lens for you because they
Cost fifty percent less than a 2.8 lens
so
Purchasing this lens might be a way to get you into the market get a lens that you like and you want to try out
But not cost you a fortune. So cost becomes a major issue
It allows you to have money to do other things as you begin to build your career. So number one cost
Number two and f/4 doesn't give you as much depth of field as an F 2.8
But you might be surprised that it's not as much as you might think
So here are some full body shots of an f4 versus an F 2.8
Now here are some medium shots with an f4 and an F 2.8
now here's a little tighter shots with an F 4 and F 2.8 as
You look at these examples
You can tell that you don't see that much difference between the focus distance of a 2.8 versus an f4
There is a difference but it's pretty minimal
So if you're thinking I need a 2.8 to be able to make things fall way out of focus
You're not gonna see that much difference
Now when it comes to gaining light and exposure a 2.8 is one stop which is a hundred percent more exposure than an f4
That's pretty critical. So if you're doing things in low light concerts or events, you're gonna need that 2.8
But if you're doing landscape things in bright Sun sports that f4 is gonna be absolutely fine
So number two that loss of depth of field within f4 is not as large a deal-breaker as you might think
number three
It's a very lightweight lens a 72 210 f4 front tamarind is a very lightweight
Portable and I can put it on the front of my camera without the collar and have no problem using it like that
It's very small and compact
Goes into your bag just easy to carry so weight becomes a major factor easy lens to travel with so there's number three the weight
number four
This is a fabulous
landscape lens
For a couple of reasons one is the weight like we just talked about
It's easy to put in your bag and carry with you. So if you're out doing landscape work, you're out traveling
It's an easy lens to take with you
But you still get those great compressed images you pull the moon in to make it large over the horizon
So you pull objects together and compress those into interesting landscape?
I love landscape where you get these kind of layers, you pull all the mountains and the clouds into the layers
I think it's just a beautiful perspective and a great look and here's some examples of that
You still get that with an f4 lens? Because you know, there's concern about an f4
The f4 is just not as large an issue when you're shooting landscape photography because you're shooting a lot of times at larger f-stops anyway
But it still gives you that great compression and allows you to get images that just look fabulous. So number four
This is a great lens to use if you're going to try something new with your landscape photography
Just to give you a different look something interesting and a great way to get into telephoto
You don't need anything more than an f4 so number four a great landscape lens
Number five it's a great telephoto for beginning to intermediate photographers or videographers who need to step into a telephoto lens
It just becomes an introductory point to get into that telephoto range
Use it practice with it and see where it leads you may last for years or you may want to step up something else
But number five is it's just a great introduction to a telephoto lens
So there you have it five reasons why the 7210 f4 might be the right lens for you
don't make a decision based on just emotion make a
Decision based on what's going to work best for the kind of work that you have and the money that you have available
Everything in photography and videography is a compromise, but we get the tools. We need to be get the images we want
That's the most important thing. You want to get a tool that's going to give you the images that you want to shoot
So check it out and see if it gives you just that I think it just might
