Content

This seminar is about lens choice when using Sony's Full-Frame cameras but the seminar also covers the use of APS-C Mode and the use of APS-C lenses on Full Frame Cameras.

I discuss how the decision to use Prime lenses instead of Zoom lenses does not always lead to a photographer having to constantly change their lens in order to change the framing of their subject.

It would be impossible to cover all lenses in just 70-minutes, but what I hope to achieve is a discussion about workflows that some photographers may not have considered.

In this seminar I share my own current preference for the lenses that choose to take out on location shoots, but I recognise these decisions may not be appropriate for everyone.

If this seminar raises any questions just add them to the forum below.
