You are such a great guy man!! Thanks for teaching ..very useful!!

I need your advise. I recently got a 5D mark II. :) What lenses do you recommend that i can afford. Budget is about 2 - 3k. I own a 50mm 1.8 from my current 7D. All other high class lenses dont work on 5D. :(

@ArtJorgeCom If I had 3k I would invest in a 16-35mm f/2.8 and a 70-200 f/2.8 That would actually run about $3,200 but if you got it, get it =o) Peace

adding to my comment below, it was too long...

I'm looking mostly at the Nikon d5000, and the Canon XSi, but do you know if the manual Minolta lenses will work with Sony's Cameras(Minolta sold out to them, right?)? If they do, I'll have to consider a sony camera!

@ForestsRequiem I would say use what you got. I learned on a film camera the Nikon FM10. I love that camera to this day. I have not used it in years but the camera was an indispensable learning tool.

My school of thought was to Master that camera before ever getting a "automatic" SLR. It just so turned out that when I felt good enough to move on, Digital cameras where busting onto the market.

Well enough about me......

Peace

Interesting, how long have you been a photographer now since you used the FM10?

5 years ago a camera like nikon d2x, d2xs was the best of the world, amazing image quality and huge prints, there was a time where the nikon D200 and D300 were the best of the best profesion´s choice,  and nobody complained. Now with full frame and lots of megapixeles they say the " old" cameras work terrible and are dinosaurs and no way a professional can use them. just for consideration: the human eye can not see the difference of a 8 by 10" print with a 8 Mp or 60 Megapixel camera,

Great video! :)

I do own a APS-C sized DSLR, like so many! Still I buy full frame glass, why? One day maybe I finally own full frame. Second? The middle of the lens is the sharpest, so you get FREE sharpness if you use big Full Frame lenses on a APS-C sized body.

Hi there,

For what it`s worth there are plenty of seasoned pros out there still shooting away day and daily using cameras like the Nikon D2Xs and D300`s and having there images accepted by top stock agencies for licensing. I think your video is implying that for this level of photography you would need a full frame camera. 12mp worth of good pixels is plenty for most situations whether DX or FX.

Peace to you also.

Thanks for sharing the information. Keep coming more

you are a fucking badass teacher bro. thank you. good luck

In other words... as Long as Im not shoot for you ... get APSC lol

Besides the focus... A 10MP APSC-sensor has smaller pixels than a 10MP full-frame sensor. So does the APSC tend to create noise on low-light situations compared to the full frame sensor? (Because the smaller pixels can't capture as much light as the bigger pixels on the full-size sensor..
