Canon 5ds wedding photography

In Baidu, few people know to ask such questions.

But regardless of the budget, we should still envy the landlord. . . Look at this sentence and give you a good answer. . .

Of course, no matter where you ask this question, there will be a bunch of wonderful answers.

Someone told you that you must focus, and all the focused parts should be focused. They will say, "dogs will beat cows" and "professionals use focus."

Some tell you that 50mm is closest to the human eye angle, and 35mm is closest to the "binocular" angle.

Did I tell you that 85mm lens is the best for taking portraits?

Did anyone tell you that the portrait is worth 70-200 F2.8?

Have you been told that if you want to "do it in one step", it is equal to three yuan?

Some people may say that since the budget is not limited, it is better to go to Leica or Chinese format.

Some people may say that if you want to be light, you can go to Quan Huafu, and Sony A6300 can hang Canon Nikon and Fuji X-T2 can hang anything.

You have decided what lens to buy 5D4 and match. There is no standard answer. There is no standard answer for Purchase Order.

I'll give you some directional advice.

Any focus segment is irreplaceable. Some people think that the focal length can be almost compensated by walking. For example, 50mm from the near point can replace 85, and 50 from the far point can replace 35, "advance can attack and retreat can defend." I am very responsible to say that this is bullshit. The change brought by the change of focal length is the width of visual field, and each visual angle can't replace each other, and each has its own usage.

You can take portraits with any focal length. The so-called "avatar" is the word that people say the most, right? Can't you take a portrait with other focal lengths? As long as there is a model in your film and you take a shot to take this photo, then this shot can be called "portrait head". There's nothing you can't shoot. Maybe the fisheye lens is similar. Anything else will do. As I said above, the effects of each lens are irreplaceable, and because they have different effects, they are used in different ways. From 1 1mm to 500mm, you can take pictures, but the effect and method are completely different. Now this era is still struggling with "what is the focal length of portrait head?"

Any focal length can also take pictures of scenery. I said, as long as you take a picture of a beautiful woman, is this shot like an avatar? So as long as I take a picture of no one in front of the landscape, is this called a landscape photo, and this shot is the head of the landscape? Generally speaking, people's aesthetics of scenery films now tend to be big scenes, and it is best to have a galaxy on the rocks. In other words, people like to look at informative photos when watching landscape films. The scenery is profound and rich in texture. There are at least three elements among mountains, rocks, sand, grass, lakes, rivers, waterfalls, ice, clouds, trees, flowers, fog, rainbow, lightning, galaxy and aurora. . . . The field of vision should extend from your feet to the end of the sky. . . How to take such a photo? . . . . The first is that you have to go to places like those national parks in North America. There are too many examples, so I won't give them. I am a Canadian, and the scenery is much less than that of the United States. If you shoot at the pool in front of the community, it is impossible to shoot a large landscape, right? You have to go to a place with that kind of scenery first Second, you have to have a lens that can hold so much information. What lens is ok? Wide-angle lens, so most of the scenic blockbusters you see now are big scenes shot with wide-angle lenses in places where there are big scenes. Other focal lengths can also be shot, but the usage is different. For example, if you want to shoot a forest, the effect is to shoot a telephoto from a distance. This thing is best illustrated and understood. But I'm too lazy to give examples, especially since Baidu knows that it is not a user-friendly platform. In short, it is any lens with focal length, as long as it can shoot beautiful scenery, that is the scenery head. But it's really wide angle.

No lens or camera has a viewing angle or "picture quality" close to the human eye. "The angle of view of Quan Huafu's 50mm lens is close to the human eye", which may have existed 50 or 60 years ago or even earlier, and is not made up by people now, but the problem is that these people only remember this sentence, but they don't know that the qualification of this sentence is very specific. I don't want to explain this here, because it is better to have a picture. But by the way, this is a slap in the face. People need to trust something. People like to believe what they want to be true, just as many people want to find a belief. Can you understand? So some people have several shots in their hands. Which one should they take when they go shopping? Or indecisive when buying a lens, he needs a decision that makes him feel practical. So he will think of the sentence that a lens is close to the human eye, which makes him confident when taking this lens or buying this lens, and makes him feel that "the closest to the human eye will not be too bad." Can you understand? That's why some people say that 35 mm is closest to the human eye, others say 40 mm, 43 mm, 50 mm, 58 mm, whatever you say. The phrase "closest to the human eye" is a placebo. Can you understand?

Let me be more specific. Above, I said take a look at the scenery. As long as you can go to beautiful places, a wide-angle lens is essential. What is the wide angle of Canon system? 1 1-24 F4L, this is Canon's nb lens. Although the aperture is only F4, 1 1mm is very wide, and the imaging quality of this head is also very good. This Nikon has no similar products, let alone other brands. This is the place where he is nb. If Nikon produced exactly the same one in 2008, Canon will not be nb. The next one is 16-35 F2.8L, which is the wide-angle end of the big ternary. 2.8L The second generation image quality is poor, with individual differences, which is very annoying. Compared with the wide-angle end of Nikon Dayuan 14-24 F2.8, it is really poor. This is also the place where Canon scenery is widely criticized. Because Nikon's body is wider than Canon's, and the quality of this super wide-angle and large-aperture zoom lens is higher than Canon's, many landscape photographers have tried their best in recent years. However, since Canon produced 5DSR and 1 1-24F4L, some landscape photographers came back to use Canon. Speaking of 16-35 2.8, the second generation is not good, and now the third generation has just come out. According to the current Canon lens posture, it is estimated that the image quality of the three generations will not be bad, and you can wait for others to reflect after listing. Since 1 1-24 is so good, why should we watch 16-35? Because the aperture is one step short. If you only want to buy a wide-angle lens, it should be 16-35 F2.8. Although this lens is not as wide as 1 1-24, it is an aperture of F2.8. Although the aperture of this pan/tilt is not as big as that of 24mm F 1.4 1.4, it can be as wide as 16mm, and it is still zoom. Aperture, F2.8 is not limited to shooting the starry sky, and it is not as convenient as 1.4. This is related to the technology before and after, needless to elaborate, but 2.8 can already shoot beautiful starry sky, while F4 is very difficult. As far as the focal length is concerned, as long as there is a wind lens, it must be zoom, because the scenery is particularly out of your control. You need an adjustable perspective to adapt to your environment.

Shoot and kill. You go and see those online celebrity wedding photographers like Weibo /poco/ Netease. They use zoom a lot, and they all use it. Mainly efficiency. Moreover, their work is more streamlined, they are multi-person teams, and they have a higher degree of control over the environment and people. Those single freelance photographers generally use fixed-focus lenses more often, such as 35 to 50. Please pay attention to what I say here. I'm not saying that wedding photographers only buy big three yuan instead of fixed focus, nor that freelance photographers only buy fixed focus instead of big three yuan. I said frequency. About whether the zoom head F2.8 is enough. Compared with a large aperture fixed-focus lens (such as 50 1.2), the difference is the depth of field on the one hand and the luminous flux on the other. Your needs for these two aspects are actually separate. In low light environment, such as coffee shop, the convenience brought by F 1.2 1.4 is enormous. As for the depth of field, it is seldom necessary to open F 1.2 except when Jiao Wai effect is intentionally created. Because the background is not pretty. This is an aesthetic problem. What I said above means that if you want to "buy only one" lens to take a portrait, there is still no standard answer to what lens to choose. According to local conditions, it varies from person to person. But if you really bought 16-35F2.8, I suggest 50 F 1.2. Because 35 can make do with zooming. 50-beat photography is used more. It doesn't matter if you don't buy telephoto for a while.

As for the change that dogs beat cows, this is basically a topic of image quality. This is the market now. The newer the lens, the better the picture quality. Look at the new lens of Canon in recent years, 24-70 2.8 second generation, 16-35 F4L, 35 F 1.4L second generation,1-24f4l. The picture quality is very good. That is, the newer the technology, the better the picture quality. Compared with the second generation of 50 1.2L and 24-70, the picture quality is really incomparable. In addition, in recent years, Sigma has taken a stacking route and shot several high-quality shots, but the quality control of Sigma is really unreliable.

About metaphysics. It's the atmosphere, the backlight of Jiao Wai. In fact, there is really a difference. But many times people just feel the placebo effect. Help yourself. If you are a rational person, you will know that different shots are really different, not fake, but what others say is still fart. For example, if you use 50 F 1.2 and 50 f 1.4, both of them will be 1.4. If you shoot toys in the house, there may be no difference except the color of your hair. If you really want to go out and take a photo, you will realize that it is really different. By the way, Jiao Wai's style is actually very intuitive, and obvious differences can be observed in most cases. This involves the problem that everyone has different tastes. For example, the Jiao Wai spot of Sigma's 50mm art is closer to a circle, while the Jiao Wai of Canon 50 1.2 is more inclined to the shape of a date pit, with disgusting spot cuts. . . However, the transition effect of low contrast background, 50 1.2 is better. Depends on what you like.

About 24- 105. This is generally called standard zoom, and it is also called standard zoom lens abroad. 24-70 24-105 24-120 28-105 28-135 of the full-width system can be called zooming, because it covers the common perspective. The focal length range is so wide, the price is image quality and aperture. And because his market positioning is "hedging", he won't do too well for you. So people look down on this head. As for whether this head is competent for landscape and portrait shooting, I think I have said so much above, and you have a good idea. But there is no standard answer to this thing. My own positioning of this head is the head of traveling here. For example, if you go to the zoo with your sister, you can take long shots of animals and take a picture of your sister to visit here. You can't bring more than one camera and one mirror to the zoo. This is the shot. But do you think I can live without this lens? Sure, can I go to the zoo without a camera? Can I bring 24-70 or 70-200? Can't I film this tour with my mobile phone? Is there anything to shoot in the zoo? So whether this head is very different depends on your own needs.

Saying so much is to help you choose. There is no standard answer.

As for weight, you went to 5D4. . . How light can it be? . .

It can only be said that fixed focus is lighter than zoom.

The zoom of 16-35 is not heavy, and the second-generation 2.8 is not as heavy as the 35 art fixed focus of Sima. I don't think three generations will weigh much. Canon's lens has always been light, but it is still very powerful.

1 1-24 F4L is more than one kilogram, which is relatively heavy.

50 coke knots, the original fixed coke is lighter than 24-70. . . Sigma's 50 ART may be heavier than Canon's 24-70, I'm not sure.

Telephoto, if 70-200 is too heavy, focus on 135 F2L, which is not only easy to use but also very light. But because it is fixed focus, its flexibility is limited.

To play photography seriously, you need a reliable tripod besides a camera lens suitable for your hand. Considering the pile of things you bought, and the money is not bad, it is recommended to go to Gitzo 2 series or 1 series (1 series is lighter and smaller), and Yuntai can just buy an ordinary ball head, but buy a reliable brand. The domestic market may be different. I suggest you study it again.

If you want to take a serious picture of the scenery, besides having a good tripod, it is also essential to buy a flash. One is enough. Sometimes you need to fill the foreground when shooting at night. More seriously, you can buy some color filters (for flashlights, not lenses). This is not expensive, and it is a backup.

Seriously taking portraits will definitely lead to playing with lights. A lamp is not enough. You have to buy three or four lamps, a lamp holder and some soft lighting measures. I just started playing with lights now, and I can't give you any advice in this respect.

Then there is the camera bag, which is usually used for pretending to climb mountains. It must be different. This needs to be discussed separately. You can study it yourself.
