i was just wondering , toatly off subject, if i want to buy a lens and it says sony mount after it, e.g tamron 70 - 3oo (sony mount) ... will it fit on my sony a55

[cameralabs]

@photoskate7 Yes, it should work!

my friend ask me to ask you LOL : would it work on digital camera like nikon s2500 ?

[cameralabs]

@ashfenner2 It works with any camera which has control over the aperture, although a point-and-shoot model won't show the effect as much. Try zooming all the lens all the way in and focusing very close to the subject - and making sure the background is far away.

BRAVO! Was looking for concise info on getting good bokeh and YOU ARE IT! This was perfect! Agree with vikr195 that you are to the point (your video was on the sidebar to a 13-minute one by someone else on the same subject. Theirs made me sleepy Zzzzz). I really appreciate your info about using kit lens as well as another lens. If all your videos are this concise, you are my new hero! I'm on my way to favorite-ing and subscribing right now...By the way: nice nose.

I just found your videos and am so glad I did!I was wondering if you can recommend an affordable lens for a 60D Canon camera, that has a bigger aperture? :-) Thank you a lot for making these great and very informative videos! They help A LOT!

@hansen4 No, the speed is just fine. I understood everything perfectly the first time. You should practice English more rather than telling video makers on youtube to speak slower. Catch up!

[hansen4]

@rotwart Well, I speak english very well, I think, but with his speed you need to play back

too many times to get all the details the first time, if they are new to you. I have known

this since the 1950'ties, but still, he speaks like a machine gun. !!!

BOKEH!!

[ardanezrel]

Thank you for this! It helped me understand simple but very important tips in taking good photos!

[rotwart]

@hansen4 The most annoying thing in the world would be for him to start s p e a k i n g r e a l l y s l o w l y just so the few people in the world who can't speak English properly can understand him better.

Very helpful! I've tried to figure this out so Many times and asked many well known photogs who always tell me it's the lens, it's the lens.. Well I have decent lens for an amateur, and finally because of this am able to get the effect and most importantly understand it!
