Location: Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. “It was very cold, but I had been watching this coyote for about 45 minutes as it hunted in the snow-covered Lamar Valley,” explains eabowe. “My hope was that I would be able to catch it as it jumped in the air to get a vole.

The EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM was long popular with Canon DSLR users for offering a versatile wide angle focal length range in a small body together with great image quality, all at a very affordable price. Now, with Canon developing a line of APS-C RF-S cameras, the 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 is relevant again. Can it keep up with the higher-resolution sensors on modern mirrorless cameras like the EOS R7, though? This excellent video review takes a look at what you can expect.

The 24-70mm f/2.8 lens is the workhorse of choice for many creatives, offering a useful range of focal lengths and a decently wide aperture. However, for those who do not need that fast aperture, an f/4 option is both far cheaper and more portable, making it a nice alternative. Sony's FE 20-70mm f/4 G is one such option, and it offers extra reach at the wide end, making it more versatile. This excellent video review takes a look at the new lens and the sort of image quality and performance you can expect from it in usage. [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Alex Cooke)

When it comes to zoom lenses, the professional standard is f/2.8, which offers a suitably wide aperture for isolating subjects and working in low-light situations. However, many f/2.8 zooms also have f/4 variants, which are both far cheaper and much more portable. This great video essay discusses why you might want to consider f/4 options for your camera bag.

In this article, we will discuss the importance of educators, presenters, and, of course, real photographers. [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Illya Ovchar)

The post How to Buy Used Camera Gear: A Step-By-Step Guide appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Suzi Pratt. Digital photography equipment – especially top-notch mirrorless cameras, DSLRs, and lenses – is expensive.
