11:48Now PlayingI have debated this back and forth, what is the perfect focal length for filming yourself? You want a wide angle lens outdoors, but too wide is just freaky. If you're too tight, it's just your head and that's even worse. For filming yourself at home, the wide angle lens might not be so great due to distortion, but it's so convenient to see the screen so close and you could even have a shotgun mic on the camera. But a longer focal length will look more professional and cinematic, but then you're at the mercy of your camera's autofocus.
We'll also talk about what the best aperture is for vlogging outside. You want to show some background, but you also want some subject separation. Too blurry of a background with Toneh and Bokeh fighting each other is over the top. Plus it makes your lens unnecessarily heavy. What is the best vlogging lens of the future? I'm leaning 18-20mm f2.8 or even f4, for the ultimate light weight vlogging setup that still gives you a professional cinematic look. It would also be budget too.
Today we're on the Panasonic S1 with Viltrox 20mm f2. It's heavy as heck.
