    Great video for putting these lenses in perspective with each other. Grabbed a Sigma 18-200 on eBay for $70 with a hood and 3 filters. Maybe things have changed in the past 8 years, but I still see more recent recommendations listing these lenses for beginners. 🤷

    Maybe someday, Sony will bring electronic ND like a samsung got in their phones (not electronically accessible internal physical ND) so we can bypass all those problems and have variable auto ND mode too. Like getting 1/800sec shutter no matter bright or dark.

    I started out with the Sigma 24-70 2.8 first generation. It was very good but not as good as my adapted Canon EF 24-70 2.8II. I sold both and replaced it with the Sony 24-70 2.8 II. This zoom was breathtakingly fantastic. It’s the best zoom I have ever used across any platform. The colors, bokeh and sharpness are just outstanding. I’m not sure what to do with my prime lenses in that range. They are now relegated to low light and bokeh duties in very challenging conditions only. I must add that I prefer the warmer colors of the sigma zoom. While the Sony zoom was at a very painful price point. I am glad I purchased it. Trading in my other zooms did help.

    Very interesting, informative and good video, Christopher. In my opinion one of the best comparisons of lenses for Canon Ef-M mount. And the only one which introduces the Tamron 18-200 mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III VC lens. I never heard of that one. And so I tried to find it - and beeing succsessful for 238 Euros in good condtion. That's the best compromise for holiday photography. I' m very thankful to you😀 Christoph from Germany/Rhineland.

    The algorithm delivers me a 40+ minute video about MiniDisc? Guaranteed watch. Didn't expect just how unhealthy the obsession would get by the end of the video, though lol I'm under no delusions - my interest in this is purely nostalgic. I had a NetMD portable in the early 00s that accompanied me through most of high school, and a bit into university. It helped me weather the gap between iPods being affordable (my 30gb iPod still stands as the portable music player that I used for the longest time) and the last properly good portable format before it (cassette). For those years in the early 2000s, NetMD was such a sweet-spot on price and performance. In the 90s, MiniDisc was a format that I super wanted to use, because it was so obviously superior to cassette. But, a $500 CAD MiniDisc portable for an 8 year old to take to school every day was a pretty hard sell to my parents. So, I used cassette and a low-end Sony Walkman on the go, and CD at home, recording loads of mix tapes along the way.
