Cheap vs. Expensive Lenses: When Should You Upgrade?
I love buying video gear and I'd bet you do too. But when there are so many choices for what you should upgrade, you should really focus on what pieces are going to make your videos better.
In today's video show, I compare the differences between cheap and expensive lenses. I'll share why you'd want to upgrade, the added features and benefits of doing so, and show you side by side examples of techniques like racking focus with an inexpensive lens and an expensive L-series lens from Canon.
