Man, you helped me so much when i got started on photography. Now i work with it since 2017, and i just want to say THANK YOU! Greetings from Brazil!
-
you're so good. and you're reviews are so informative. good job sir❤
-
I was so much waiting for this video ❤️ thank you ❤️
-
I have 3 of these lenses based on Chris's recommendations and I have been very happy with all of them.
-
Youve got consistently the best camera gear videos on YouTube!
-
Once again, phenomenal video on budget canon lenses. Just like the last one. Thank so much.
-
You're a lifesaver for DSLR owners... Nowadays nobody cares about DSLRs with the arrival of Mirrorless... Thanks a lot and lots and lots of love and hugs from India....
-
"Holga lenses of varying degrees of delicacy" THAT was a sermon on the lens❤😌🥰🤗
-
a lot of variety, thanks for making the video!
-
Maan I can't tell you how great your channel is. Many a time that I want a quality opinion, I just type my question into youtube and type in "Christopher Frost" afterwards lol. & it's only recently that I saw your face for the first time haha. Very pleasant and chill looking guy. You're awesome.
-
Yesss thank uuu!!! I’ve just needed this video for 2020!
-
The Canon 10-18 and the 55-250 are fantastic lenses, especially the 55-250, I still use them on my RP adapted and they are great.
-
Brilliant video! Thanks Christopher. I picked up a 7d mk I as a play camera and this video has helped me a lot
-
Thank you very much for this extremely timely round-up, merely the latest in a long line of thoughtful and practical videos. Now that Canon are throwing all their weight behind mirrorless, apsc is probably on its way out, so efs-s compatible lenses are becoming harder to find. This is thus a very valuable reference. Thanks again, and keep fighting the good fight!
-
The 55-250mm stm is really sharp. The only cons is the build quality, but aside from that, it's just superb.
-
Thanks Christopher. I've been hoping you wouldn't forget about us old DSLR users who really appreciate your reviews on older lenses.
-
Fantastic! What a gargantuan task! Well done! Just what we needed.
-
Awesome, eagerly waiting for this, thank u Chris:)
-
Super detailed and informative. Thanks!
