My favourite lens is my Canon EF 24-70 f/4L IS USM but I always operate well within in it’s capabilities. I rarely
In this video I try to get the most out of my lens by pushing it to it’s limits.
With the weather forecast not looking brilliant I decided to head to Grizedale Forest and set myself a little challenge.
In this challenge I set out to push my lens to the max getting:
– 1 shop at it’s widest focal length
– 1 shot at it’s longest focal length
– 1 shot at it’s closest focusing distance
– 1 shot at it’s widest aperture
This challenge helped me to be more creative and to try shots that I wouldn’t normally have attempted. Better than staying at home!

Hi everyone. If you would like to take part in this challenge and send me your images please head over to my website for details. https://chrissale.co.uk/wp/push-your-lens-to-the-limit/
What issues you had with this lens to send it to repair? I have mine for almost 2 years without any issues
this was a wonderful video. loved the very last part. keep posting the out takes
That photo was great yes the background wasn’t blurred out enough but good enough !
The one man miracle! Nice one and greetings from Australia! I fell off my chair the last 15 secs of your video .. that was hilarious! Must say, you are an inspiration for budding photographers. If that last shot was taken at 70mm FL then clearly from where you were standing (the focussing distance) F/4 was not good enough to give you that narrow DOF you were after. So you'd have to move away a bit more from the subject for a more narrow DOF. Also, remember there are tables to calculate DOF (front and back) given FL, FD and camera/lens type. One other interesting point is that usually there is more DOF behind the subject as opposed to in front of the focussed subject, generally 2/3rds behind and 1/3rd in front. It is very interesting to create DOF based on several factors that one must take into consideration. I enjoyed your video and the peaceful atmosphere. Nice one man production .. no doubt clever!
Hi Chris, just got the same lens this Xmas. Have the same 6D, 16-35 f4 and 70-200 f2.8 II. GReat setup for landscape photography. Love your vlogs, watch them all. Please keep up the great work.
Damn, the effort put into creating this video. I'm guessing you use tripod the entire shooting eh, and it's kinda Nat geo style narration as well. Kudos for the One Man Show.
Hi Chris. Nice video. Which tripod and tripodhead are you suing in the video and which one for travel please ?
I'm in the market to pick up a 24/70 lens. I'm debating to pick up the f/4 or spend more money on the f/2.8 any pointers
Very lovely video and photos. Is it a polfilter in the front of the 17-40?
I'd say over all a great video. Good content, About that last shot, it depend. What did you intent the viewer to see? My eyes were drawn to the vibrant bright bracken.
Profound. I like your honest approach which echoes probably what a lot of us feel. A firm yet gentle motivational push is what we all need from time to time. Thank you.
Wonderfully paced, and loving the presentation.
Too much fluff and not enough substance.
You walk like Sasquatch but then again, what do you expect from the public? Useful video that I watched to the end. Thanks.
This would be easy. I mainly shoot with a 40mm f/1.2!!
Hi Chris,
I have the same lens and i can focus in macro mode about 4-5 cm to the subject from the front element.
The best feature of the lens (in my opinion), thanks for the video, ALL the Best*
If you had to choose 1 lens to use which would it be, the 16-35 or the 24-70? Reason im asking im thinking of dropping to a single lens i as rarely use my 70-200 or my 14mm prime, i mainly use my 24-85. I will be getting the 2.8 version as i shoot the stars, i use a 6d aswell as its superb at night.
Nice one Chris. I found this very interesting from start to finish.
Hi Chris,
As promised I checked out my minimal focus distance o. Macro setting on canon 24/70 lens, mine is about 25cm and pin sharp.
Nice exercise! I did something akin to this last Wednesday while exploring a garden only I had a 100mm f/2.8 macro on most of the time so I have pinhead sized ants crawling across a peony bud that more than fills the frame and plants in focus that are bracketed between others that are blurred to nearly recognizable.
Nice vlog Chris, well thought out and executed I thought. Matching the weather conditions with the location is half the battle with photography I am finding out..plus having these little personal challenges keeps up the motivation and helps you learn..i would be definitely up for the challenge..
What a beautiful place! Each video frame, a photo! Loved the photo of the bridge and of the bench, although you are right, it didn't work as planned, it needed a wider aperture for a more blurry background. I also liked this idea (challenge) and although I don't participate ( 😥 ), you are always giving me new ideas to practice with!
Hi Chris, I have a Canon EF 24-70 f/4L IS USM and it is my most used. In macro down to about 30 mm 1 1/4"
Wonderful video. Loved the overall pacing and your delivery.
Video has a nice pace, a very cool style… and I love the forest. I have that 24-70 and love the macro function. It focuses very close, don't know the numbers, but it's clooooooose! LOL
It's in the eye of the beholder. You didn't feel the background was out of focus enough. I found my eyes traveling from the foreground to the background and right back to the foreground over and over. To me the background was just the right amount of "out of focus" for that particular image. That's the beauty of art !!!
Hi from New Zealand. Great Vlog Chris, and great idea 👍 I’m up for the challenge. I recently started my own photography Vlog here in NZ. I will respond to this challenge in my own blog, hopefully this weekend 😊
I don't have this lens (I have a Tamron 24-70 F/2.8 instead). But the specs listed in B&H show a minimum focus of 20 cm (7.87 inches) and a macro reproduction of 1:1.4. So, pretty good.
Re the fern image, IMO the bench is too close to the fern to get much blur, especially given the distance you were from both. Had you moved closer to the fern, the bench's distance from you would farther away relative to the fern's distance from you. This would narrow the depth of field when focusing on the fern, so the bench would be blurrier.
