In this blog I want to list all tools I use with simple description.</p> <h2>Cameras</h2> <p>I have 3 cameras, Sony a6400, Canon 80D, and my phone Camera.</p> <div class="img-cont"><img src="/images/uploaded/cameras.jpg" alt="old camera" /></div> <h3>Sony a6400</h3> <p>This is my main Camera, you can buy it from <a href="https://amzn.to/3nMZZSa" target="_blank" rel="noopener sponsored">here</a>.

I use the old version of this lens, I don't think Canon still make it. If you are going to buy this lens, I recommend buying <a href="https://amzn.to/3h2DrH1" target="_blank" rel="noopener sponsored">Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens</a>. The 'STM' stands for Stepper Motor these lenses are almost silent, so when you record videos the sound does not have the noise of a focusing motor.</p> <h3>Canon EF-S 24 mm f/2.8 STM Lens</h3> <p>I use this lens because it has wide angle, so you can use it to record yourself while carrying the camera with your hand stretched or you can put the camera close to you.</p> <p>regarding lenses I highly recommend lenses with f/2.8 or lower number like f/1.8, so that you can easily get <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=bokeh+effect&amp;rlz=1C1CHBF_enPS879PS879&amp;sxsrf=ALeKk015j7WkSoA61JcPEiYQfycuy1XC_g:1594761029426&amp;source=lnms&amp;tbm=isch&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwi1-qPl083qAhURVc0KHR6EAsEQ_AUoAXoECBEQAw&amp;biw=1683&amp;bih=870" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">bokeh</a> effect and blurred background which we all love.
