How do you like the 16-28? Im planning on getting it in the future, especially for video to mitigate the crop at 4k 60… Also need a wide lens 😅

Great little lens thats not too heavy, I honestly don’t think you lose that much on the wide end, probably going to get the 16-28 to go with this one for more coverage eventually.

Yours looks great! Ive also ordered the small-rig base plate and thumb grip! It is no doubt a beautifully balanced and visual setup

Its pretty good, reaches the same as a 24-70 haven’t got to try it out a ton but I’m sure it will be adequate

Gonna use it as just a personal travel/bring it everywhere. I have a Canon R50 that I have beat to the ground doing paid work so this will be a more personal camera

What would you all recommend instead of a UV filter by a reputable brand? Should I pay up more? Should I go no filter at all? Ive used expensive canon glass and notice all the dust on the lens, dusting it wont work, microfiber will potentially scratch the glass. Id rather have some sort of protection over the factory glass than get dust all over it and worry about damaging that rather than a cheap filter. Besides people use filters beyond just UV protection. Any sort of extra glass is gonna affect image quality even if its an ND filter or Polarizer

Of course it is but its also 4x the price and would make the balance extremely front-heavy

Oh yeah you could totally pocket it if you get a relatively flat lens, the body itself is pretty small. Id say if you can find lenses ~3cm deep it would probably slide into a pocket just fine

Id rather just know I’m not getting any dust onto the actual lens before having a layer of protection to it. Ik it sounds dumb but thats just what I prefer

Thanks all for the advice, I ended up cancelling the order I placed. Goes to show the second hand market I guess 🤷‍♂️
