Good morning, welcome to this special video
Have you ever wondered which lenses will give you the best results
and with which ones you will shoot the most?
In this video, you will discover an analysis that I have made
over the past 100,000 photos, past 6 years
of all the lenses I've used, how I've shot with them
and which one delivered consistently the best results
This will be very interesting
so make sure you watch until the end
because that conclusion may help you
find the next best lens for you
or at least save you some money
in not getting the wrong lens
So if you're ready, let's get started
Welcome to a new episode
All right, 100,000 plus photos, 6 years of work
And I went in and deep dive into all the stats about my lenses
How many shots I've taken
How many are portfolio worthy
3 stars, 4 stars, 5 stars
And in this video, I'm going to share with you all those results
so you can make informed decisions
if you need to choose a new lens
if you need to sell an old lens
and when you have to choose on the field which lens to use
So we're going to drop this
deconstruct this in 4 parts
The first one is going to be how I analyze the data
The second one is going to be the results
in terms of volume of photos taken
how many with each photos
how many I kept, etc.
And number 3 is going to be the ratios per lens
the performance per lenses that I've used
And number 4, I'm going to be drawing
some conclusions that can help you
in your own photography
So if you're curious, let's get started
First of all, how did I actually find out
all about that data
Did I go back manually and check every exit?
No
Thankfully, I'm using Lightroom Classic
And in Lightroom Classic, you can just go to your library
and open the library filter
and then turn on the metadata
And you can choose if you want lens, camera
and a bunch of other cool metadata
that you can use to actually filter your photos
So let's say I want to know
how many photos I've taken with the 16-35
I can see that number right here
And then with the GM2, I see that number right here
That's for my one working catalog
from 2019 until 2024
For the period of 2017 to 2018
I have a separate catalog
which made me use another tool
I'm going to share with you in a second
that is also extremely helpful
for finding any kind of photos anywhere
But let's look at those datas
Then I went in and selected 3 photos
3 stars, 4 stars and 5 stars
to get exactly the data
I compiled that into a spreadsheet
I'm going to show you the result in a second
And I did that for all my lenses
So we have 16-35, 70-100, 24-70, 20mm, 50mm, 24mm
and 14mm f1.8
So we have a mix of zoom and prime lenses
And in order to go and search in my other catalogs
also that are indexed
I used a little tool called PictoSearch
Really cool software that's like a plugin
And it literally indexes all your catalogs
And then you can search
Let's say if you're looking for flowers
in all your photos
You can type flower
And it's going to pull up all the photos of flowers
that you have in your catalogs
And you just click on one
And it will take you right there
And you end up at the photo in your Lightroom library
Extremely, extremely helpful
If you've ever looked for photos everywhere
Very helpful
Now, it also shows you stats
Meaning like when are those photos of dogs taken
Wow, so between 2017 and 2024
I can see like when I took photos of dogs
On consistent basis and stuff
Well, that's cool, that's interesting
But what I'm more interested here is
And actually you can find similar images
I'll drop a link in the description
If you're interested in that software
It's really good, nothing sponsored here
It's just something I've been using for a year
And I love it
Especially when I have to find photos
That I don't know where they are
So now I can have criteria
So 3 stars, 4 stars
But I can also put like lens models
So 16-35
And it's going to show me
All the photos taken with the Canon 16-35
As you can see, I never shoot with a Canon
Or barely ever
And now 16-35 GM1
And 16-35 GM2
There we go
And now we have all those photos that show up
So the gray bar is
All the photos taken
And the blue bar is
All the photos taken that match those criterias
So as you can see
I've used extensively this 16-35 over the years, right
And then you can also put 3 stars
And see how many 3 star photos or 2 star photos
I've taken with the 16-35 GM
Okay, so that's interesting
I used all that data
And compiled it into my spreadsheet
So you can see the lens name here
If it's a zoom or prime lens
Then the number of photos taken
And the number that are 3 stars, 4 stars, 5 stars
And then a ratio of 3 plus stars, 4 plus stars, etc.
I then went and took the table
Dropped it in ChatGPT
And asked it to create charts for me
Because I actually think it does it better than me
Here are the results
Part 2, results and number of photos taken
We have 25,416 photos taken with that 16-35
And I combined 16-35 GM-1 and GM-2
Because I want to know that lens range
Meaning 16-35, 24-70, 70-200
And same for the 70-200
I have the GM-1 and GM-2 in that data
So 25,400 photos over 6 years
Because I've had those 2 lenses over 6 years
Then I have the 16-30, 70-200, 1 and 2
That also covered on the 6 years
And we can see that
I only took half the photos I took with the 16-35
In that period of time
So way less photos
You can see half of it
And now 24mm that I had
I think for the first time in 2019
So we can just look at it
And we'll very quickly see
So that 24mm I got it in January
Or just before January 2019
And as you can see
I've used it extensively since
For a period of time until 2021
And way less after
24-70, I only got that lens later in life
So less photos taken
85mm
It's a lens I've had for many years
But not that many photos taken
50mm, 1.2
I've taken a bunch of photos
Over a short period of time I would say
20mm and then 35mm
And my least used is the 14mm f1.8
Now obviously that's over 6 years
And some of them I've had them for only 2 years
Like the 24-70
But I still have more photos with the 24-70
Over 2 years then
I have with the 14mm
That I have since 2021
So as you can see
It really varies in usage
Now let's move on to part 3
Because the part 3 is
Testing the performance of those lenses
Which one are 3 plus stars
What is the ratio for each lens of
Basically how many photos I have kept
And how many were actually
Photos that I really love
Just as a reference
3 stars for me is
I love it
2 stars I keep
4 stars is
Oh my god
And 5 stars is like
Wow, I gotta print this
This is my portfolio
Let's look into the lens performance
Oh, by the way
If you don't know me
My name is Pierre Tenambert
I'm a travel adventure photographer
And the creator of
30-day adventure to create photo
A step-by-step method
For training your eyes
To see like a photographer
Shoot like a photographer
And take photos you love
No matter what kind of gear you're using
There's a link in the description
If you want to learn more
But I also share photography adventures
On this YouTube channel
So you can actually go back in time
And watch adventures of me
Shooting on the field with some of these lenses
So subscribe if you want to also learn more
And let's get started
Lens performance
14mm ends up with 15% of success
In terms of getting 3 plus stars photos
Which is insane
You'll see there may be a reason behind that
15mm we're at 10%
Close to 10% for 20mm
Then we drop at 7.7% for 24mm
So now we're in the zoom category
35mm 7%
7% for 85mm
7200 6.7%
16-35 5.8%
And 24mm f1.4
I don't know why 5.2%
Which is kind of surprising
Now it kind of inverts
On some of those lenses
When we look at the 4 plus stars photos
So that 14mm is still consistently the highest
So 24%
Which is really high
7200 is around 9%
Now versus 7200
That's 6% for 3 stars
So it seems like I'm taking a higher
It's more consistent for 4 plus stars with 7200
Now the 16-35 drops to 4%
Okay, so clearly that lens has something
Is it the lens?
Is it how you use it?
We'll talk about that in a second
Then we have 10% 20
10% or 9% 35mm
9% 50mm
So those results are fairly consistent
That 24 f1.4 is consistently low
Which is surprising
Because it's a lens I absolutely love
And that 85mm is kind of low too
Maybe explained because I use that lens a lot
In street photography at night
And I don't always pick up portfolio photos for that
I'll reveal why that 14mm is so high in a second
But now let's look at prime versus zoom lenses
Okay, usage and performance
So zoom
I have 45, 43,000 photos taken with it
Okay, prime
We're at a shy 20,000 photos
So that means I'm shooting twice as much
With a zoom lens than with a prime
And what's interesting is the ratio of 3 plus stars
Is extremely high at 9% on average for primes
Versus a low 6.5% for the zooms, right?
And last but not least
The primes here for 4 plus
Are actually closer to the zoom for 4 plus stars
Which is interesting
It also shows my criteria for 4 plus star photos
Is very tight
So the question now is like
How do these kind of compare
And what can I draw upon
The first thing I want to mention is that 14mm
Why is that ratio so high?
Why do I take so many 3 star photos?
Why are we at 15%?
Let's look at some of the photos at 14mm
Okay
And you'll very quickly understand why
So if you've never seen photos at 14mm
It's a specific look
It is extremely wide
And you can't use it just for anything
That means that when I use it
I am very, very intentional
When I decide to go for that lens
I think about it many, many, many times
And I actually will have the lens sometimes
And not use it in my bag, you know
But when I do use it
I know exactly what I'm looking for
And I know exactly how I'm going to shoot
And why
And a lot of those photos are taken
Usually at 14mm are night shots
And night shots for me are shots that easily get
4 stars, 3 stars
Same for Northern Lights
Those shots are taken at 14mm
Are easy to get 4, 5 stars
Because I absolutely love them, you know
And then I have a few conceptual shots
That I did also
But the first conclusion really
Is that with the 14mm
When I go in
I am extremely intentional
Shooting with a prime lens
That is not very standard
Like 14mm
Will force you to have creative choices
Very intentional
And that yields clearly better results
Because I end up with a
Drastically more photos that I love
In that category, okay
Interesting, right?
Now, when it comes to that 16-35mm
Why is it so low, that ratio?
Well, the 16-35mm is a lens
That I've used so much
And we can see it
In the graph that we looked at earlier
So that 16-35mm
Was literally the lenses I would use the most
On trips
Every time I have to run and gun
I walk around
I'm not sure what I'm going to shoot
I grab my 16-35mm
That changed the day I started shooting
With the 24-70mm actually
I got the 24-70mm in July 2022
About there
And this is a lens I clearly have been
Using a lot during trips
As you can see when you have the high peaks
Those are like photo trips
And most of the photos
Are taken with the 24-70mm
This is a lens I will walk around
All day long with
And take a little bit of everything
And nothing sometimes
And you can see it's very wide ranging
It could range from an event
To landscape photos
To portrait photos
To kind of everything in between
I used it a lot in Nepal for example
Lots of photos that I absolutely loved with it
It's a very versatile lens, right?
Now the thing is
It has a lower
Shoot to keep photo rate, right?
And that is understandable
Because I can shoot everything and nothing
Now if you look at the 70-100mm
Actually the 70-100mm
Performs very similar to a prime lens
Why is that?
That 70-200mm when you're going to use it
You will be very intentional with it
Why? Because you cannot very narrow, right?
And 70-200mm is not for every day
It may be when I did some safari
I took photos with that 70-200mm
I will use it intentionally for street photos
For portraits
And it's very interesting to see
How my usage of lenses that don't have
That are kind of tight or difficult to work with
Because they're ultra wide
Will impact my keeping ratio
Now three lenses that are fairly interesting
To look at are 50mm and 20mm
I find that I'm getting good results with those two
And I'm not surprised that 50mm f1.2
I absolutely love
And that 20mm f1.8
Kind of replaced my 24mm
In a lot of circumstances
You see this was taken with a 50mm f1.2
For example
We have a lot of really cool photos
That are a little vibey
And I think maybe that 50mm tight and focal length
I actually pretty much like it
But we look at it
I actually don't really save 5-star photos
For that 50mm
Which is also another interesting point
But that 20mm is going to have 5-star photos
And a better ratio
Even than that 50mm
For 4-star photos
Which actually surprised me
Because I thought that 24mm
Would perform better than that 20
But no, I've taken lots of photos I love
With that little prime lens
It is small, it is mighty
You just put it in your bag
You forget about it
And you can take lots of great photos with it
And I absolutely loved using it
Even for portraits
Ultra wide portraits like these
Oh my god, I absolutely love
So what's extremely important for you
To realize here
Is that if you choosing a new lens
If you choosing a lens even to use in your bag
You will have to make a choice
Between versatility
And kind of creative restriction
But instead of thinking about it as a restriction
See it as something that may improve
The quality of your photos
At least if you have similar data as to me
You may be working more intentionally
And that's something a lot of photographer talk about
A lot of pro photographer will tell you
With the prime lens you shoot differently
And it looks like the data
Is showing the exact same thing
So it's not just an intuition
It is actually something that I quantified
And made sure I have
So I invite you to do that analysis for yourself
Because it may be different
But if you're trying to buy a new lens
Maybe go for a prime lens
Especially if you already have zooms
And you find that you're not really happy
With your photos
Work with that prime lens
It will work you differently
And it also begs the question of
Is it because that zooms are more versatile
That you will be using them in more difficult conditions
And more random conditions
That will make you take better photos
Or if you shot only with a prime lens
Would you have similar results
That is a question I'm still asking myself
And I'm going to be experimenting a little more
And share with you the results
So now there is an opportunity to rethink
When we use zoom lenses
Despite all most of my photos
Being taken with zoom lenses
The vast majority
The cost of that versatility
Is actually a lower quality
Or less photos that I personally love
On the outcome
So should I refocus on using only prime lenses
That is a good question
Let me know in the comments what you think
And if you want to watch an analysis
Of how I shot photos
And the mistakes I made in New York City recently
Watch this video
If you want to learn more about your autofocus
Watch this one
And make sure you grab your cheat sheet
With camera settings you can use on the field
Anywhere in the description
And with that being said
Get out there go shoot
Try something different
Try something new
I'll see you in the next one
Let me know if you like that little analysis
