Read MoreI don’t typically choose to review lenses because there isn’t much to talk about or show other than comparing footage shot through it and there are so many variables (like what kind of camera it is attached to or compression on said footage) that I don’t really like even doing that.

There are just so many choices! To make it easier on myself and to be more helpful for you, I decided to break the question into three categories: vlogging, YouTubing and filmmaking.
Read MoreIn today’s #AskLeb episode we talk filming in a log (flat) picture profile and share what steps we take to ensure that our colors come out true and vibrant after the color correction phase.
