Hey this is Scott of Photography Banzai.
Here today with the Canon 28 to 90 millimeter EF lens version III f4 to 5.6.
Also with the Viltrox speed booster that's 0.71x and the Canon EOS M50.
This offers a nice range to it, 28 to 90. When you consider the speed booster
things are a little skewed, but for the better actually because you get wider...
The speed booster adjusts the settings that are sent to the camera. So in this case when you're
at 28 millimeters you're getting f/2.8. You go to 90 millimeters you get f4. So it is nice to
have that extra stop of light or so with the speed booster and after looking at the photos
from the previous photo outing... I'm pretty happy. They look nice.
If I have the camera set around 50 to 70 millimeters
I think it can get as close as possible with some small subjects like this.
Even considering the speed booster I can't get too close with this lens that's definitely the major
drawback of it. Old kit lenses, you get the benefit of a cheap
lens that works pretty good. Gives you some range, but you do have some drawbacks.
It's nice to use. It works well. It's not super heavy,
and you don't mind adapting try an old kit lens. If you do have the speed booster that's
even better. And I'm talking old film era kit lenses. Full frame kit lenses, not the aps-c ones,
which you can get those too but you're not going to get any benefit from a speed booster obviously.
It's not even going to work. Although it could be early digital and mindlessly not sure.
Another drawback of this lens the front element does rotate when you focus, so if you do use
a polarizer or something similar like that you need to keep that in mind because it will shift.
And quickly go through the zoom range here so you can get an idea
of what it looks like with that speed booster.
One negative of this Viltrox speed booster is that it pulls some of the battery charge
down as you just leave it sitting, which is not great obviously if you're going to
use in a professional situation you really need to keep that in mind.
Interesting stuff going on here...
See how much range we've got, probably just enough...
This is an interesting time to do photography because a lot of the plants are growing... And
get some green and a little bit more color to everything, but also get some cold!
So I think it snowed in the.. like.. early morning,
but we can see. Oh, my battery's almost gone!
What is going on. I like how that tree is coming on this way.
That one's coming along that way. We're gonna focus in between them.
Auto focus system isn't amazing on this setup, but it works. It's not super loud but you can
hear it. Well only sometimes really. But you can see that the whole thing is moving...
I think at the wider end doing doing more landscape style photos,
it doesn't look amazing. I do think this lens shines more in little closer situations.
Having a bit of range is nice to crop out some of the more distracting elements to the frame.
One thing I can tell with aperture priority and this setup is that the camera tends to
use shutter speeds a little lower than I would personally in manual focus. So if it's at 90
millimeters on here, it looks like 100th of a second depending on if there's enough light.
Of course it uses faster shutter speeds if it can. Like that darker situation.. it was
using 100th of a second, which isn't ideal. Really nice patch of yellow flowers there.
Probably not the best spot to have a picnic...
So many picnic tables they get destroyed. I don't get what the deal is with that. I'm thinking maybe
people move them closer to the water and then no one takes them back. Almost fall colors.
That doesn't make any sense...
Overall a fun lens to use. Lower cost... It's pretty lightweight because it's plasticky
old film era kit lens. It is full frame capable, so I do have the benefit of using it with the
speed booster. Nice plus! I have seen photos from the previous failed photo shoot or photo outing..
photo walk.. whatever you want to call it with the speed booster and they look pretty nice.
There were some that were very detailed. There were some that weren't so much and the background
blur isn't amazing. I think the autofocus might have been a little quirky here and there,
or I was just getting too close because I'm used to getting pretty close sometimes with
these type of photos and this lens doesn't focus very close. Just things to keep in mind.
Fun lens, 28 to 90 millimeters f/4 to 5.6 normally with the version III of that Canon lens. But yeah!
