In this video, Jon takes us on a fascinating journey through his extensive collection of camera lenses, sharing insights into his favorite gear, practical choices, and the versatility that different lenses bring to photography and videography. Whether you're a seasoned photographer or just starting out, you'll find valuable tips and inspiration from Jon’s experiences and preferences.
Jon begins by pondering how many lenses he needs, humorously mentioning that he often feels like he needs just one more. He shares a common saying that once you reach 50 lenses, you might not need any more—though he admits he's not sure exactly how many he owns! As he looks at his collection, he highlights a variety of lenses suited for different shooting situations, from wide-angle landscapes to wildlife, portraits, macro, and astrophotography.
One of his favorite lenses is the Sony 12-24mm on a full-frame camera, which he praises for its ultra-wide perspective—perfect for landscapes and creative shots. He also discusses his Olympus 100-400mm lens, ideal for wildlife and airplane photography, providing a 200-800mm zoom range. For portraits, he prefers his full-frame Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 lens, emphasizing its sharpness and versatility. When hiking or shooting in tight spaces, he often uses the lightweight Olympus 9-18mm, which offers a compact solution with a wide field of view.
Jon showcases his collection of fisheye lenses, perfect for astrophotography and creative effects, including a 12mm f/2.8 for full-frame and an 8mm fisheye for crop sensors. He also mentions a tiny pancake lens (Olympus 14-42mm) that’s great for everyday carry and travel. Macro photography is well-represented in his collection with several lenses, including a 60mm macro, a 30mm, and a Sony 90mm macro, highlighting his interest in close-up work.
Throughout the video, Jon discusses the lenses he uses most often on his Olympus and Sony cameras. His go-to Olympus lens is the 12-100mm f/4 Pro, which covers a broad focal range and allows him to shoot at high frame rates—up to 50 frames per second—making it perfect for dynamic shooting situations. On his Sony full-frame camera, his workhorse is the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 G2, which offers excellent performance for its price.
Jon also touches on other favorites, such as the Olympus 7-14mm for ultra-wide angles, which, despite not accepting filters, is his preferred choice for landscape and architecture work. For travel and lightweight setups, he relies on the Olympus 12-200mm, providing a versatile zoom range in a compact package.
Beyond traditional lenses, Jon mentions extension tubes, microscope mounts, and even 3D-printed microscope adapters—showing how creative and adaptable modern photography gear can be. He shares his thoughts on fun, manual-focus lenses like the 7artisan 35mm f/1.5 and tiny primes like the 25mm f/1.8 for Olympus, emphasizing how different gear inspires creativity.
In conclusion, Jon admits he still doesn’t have a single favorite lens—there are just so many options suited for different situations. His collection reflects a passion for experimentation and capturing the world in diverse ways. Whether you're interested in landscapes, wildlife, macro, or astrophotography, there's something in this collection for every photographer.
