welcome to the Academy of photography
when the aliens come we still deserve to
shoot i'm christian sugar and today i
would like to talk about my
second-favorite lens 70-200 from canon
EF f 2.8 why I want to talk about this
is because this is my second favorite
length after the 24 to 70 this is the
most useful lens if you wanna shoot from
a distance completes the range from wide
lands to the narrow telephoto I cannot
picture me doing i work as a
photographer on the field doing
portraiture doing weddings or doing
anything without this lens this is
always on my shoulder
this is always on my second camera and
if i do a special should for example of
portraiture shoot outside definitely
this will be my main camera so i'm not
going to go through the technical job
you can find technical stuff everywhere
online a lot of other people are picking
up the brochure and they can redo the
technical stuff i don't really want to
care how many spherical a spherical
lenses are inside how many blades and
all of that crap i'm going to talk about
only the essence and only when I believe
this is useful for and the advantages of
disadvantages of this length this is not
the most perfect lens in the world but
is a very good lens and i'm going to
show you why
just a quick overview it is a pretty big
lens very impressive it is quite heavy
and it comes with the hood and this will
be even more impressive it comes with
the ring for the tripod are very
interesting and very good feature about
this lens it is a zoom lens from 70 to
200 about it
everything happens inside unlike the 24
to 70 which the lens extends so it is
weatherproof that's proof build quality
like can on all the lenses are very good
quality is very good in your hand with a
77
$OPERAND millimeter diameter and i
recommend for any lens to use one of
these cheapies from ebay just for
protection
nothing else if you want to put some
fancy filters feel free to do so
Bob definitely a simple UV filter will
actually do the job just protect the
lens you do not want to scratch the lens
ok moving on automatic focus than manual
focus and also a button which limits the
focus range between 1.5 meters to
infinity and three meters to infinity it
so it does have the focal distance ring
and the focus ring it does focus a very
fast and the best advantage of this lens
you can shoot from a distance you can
have nice candid portraits
this is a distance lends i do not
recommend this one if you shoot inside
in small spaces
this is for distance the reason i have
picked this one is the 2.8 is very
important for me is all around
photographer if I'm in a low light
situation the 2.8 will definitely do the
job
increasing the iso will give me
portraits from a distance
this is an absolute must for any serious
photographer i'm just going to market on
my camera and show you how i use it ok
now this it's a pretty big camera and it
does impress as mentioned before looks
are very important people come to me and
they are always picking up on my cameras
they seem to be amazed about the size of
the cameras is I have showed another
videos if I'd waiting i can go in
different places in different corners
nobody sees that I'm shooting and I can
shoot over people's shoulders and I can
take the nice candid shots people are
very happy with them just wanted to show
you how i use it is a second camera on
one of these is very comfortable straps
we're going to talk about straps in a
different tutorials and i connect the
strap here not on the camera just to
make sure this is like that
next to my body and this is how I walk
bang bang bang from every corner it
gives me the freedom not to need an
assistant and gives me the instant
ability to take a different perspective
than the main camera which is again a 24
to 70 and I can go into corners i can
shoot from a distance from actually a
large this is 20 to 30 meters you still
okay and this will give me absolutely
the nice blurry portraits the candid
shots with the blurry background that
everyone is after one of the
disadvantages of this keys is not as
sharp as you would think it does reach
the sharpness but i can tell you from my
experience that I need to take 350 325
shots to get the sharp portrait that I
want to take now I'm talking about
external conditions are not talking
about to do conditions if i'm outside in
mind i move i need to shoot more than
the other camera in order to get the
sharpness why I don't know why because
I'm not the lens manufacturer but in
comparison with the 24 to 70 or other
prime lenses it's not as sharp as you
would hope so
even for the price tag even for the fact
it's a little serious violence with the
red ring and it's it's white so it's
supposed to be sharp but again it takes
a bit of effort to get the sharpness you
would want is a professional
photographer now I can understand why
Cannot released also the image
stabilization version it's double in
price and definitely the image
stabilization will ensure you you get a
shop portrait easier for its price range
i would definitely take it into
consideration is your second shooter if
you're the weddings or if you do events
without for the comments this is a good
product and you should consider this
lens if you're in the market for a
telephoto lens if you want to find out
some very good things about this lens
just jump on the Academy photograph is a
website go into the equipment review
section you
definitely find my review on this lens i
hope you enjoyed this video and hold his
balls portcullis until I see you next
time I wish you happy shooting
thank you very much
