85mm definitely. Focuses on the subject in my music videos, though it's m43 so I guess it's closer to 170mm, but I dig it. Rokinon 85mm t1. 5. Keep up the great work!
85mm is used in a lot of Movies for focusing in on a character then they switch to 35mm to give the audience perspective of the setting, wihout revealing too much, making them think about what's about to happen next. The Village is a perfect Example
I would say if you can only afford one lens and you absolutely want a prime to get a 35mm lens. It kind of does everything you need from wide shots to tighter, more intimate shots. It’s also 3-4 times lighter than zoom lenses. Just gotta use your body as the zoom. Also, don’t forget that Sony cameras all have their aps-c mode. That means you can turn a 35mm into a 52.5mm with the click of a button. The sensor oversamples on the A7IV so even on aps-c mode you’re still capturing 4.6k downsampled to 4k. Full frame mode downsamples from 7k. When I leave the house I don’t like taking a huge cache of gear. I take my camera with one lens(35mm f1.8 on the body), a mic, a mini tripod, and a variable nd filter. That setup covers me for 90% of shooting both photos and video. It took me years to finally come to terms with this setup but I’m telling you, it’s so freeing to drop all that insane, mostly unused weight.
Based on this it should be safe to conclude that the 24mm looks perfect for fast paced action, the 35mm for normal everyday action and the 85mm (or 50mm) is perfect for slow and surreal action.
35 and 50mm are almost interchangeable. I havnt seen any dp go that wide like 24mm they usually still to 35mm for wide actions scenes anything else becomes way too chaotic. 50mm is most commonly used it really doesn’t have a specialty you use it when ever for what ever super safe focal length and 85mm for film making is alot more rare.
@@nikyabodigital I'm trying to figure that out too. using my 20-60 kit, I see that 24 is certainly easier get the shot holding the camera away from my head but 35 is ok too except that it's much tighter. 35 looks good but would be a little more difficult and may seem slightly claustrophobic for vlogging I think...
@@Faustustopheles i got prime lens 25mm i go all in on it and seem to be the right decision. At arms length it can capture head to chest with a bit of space on head :) totally happy with it.. im sure 20mm would do good as well but since my space is limited i dont necesarry want to capture the entire bg.
Loved the profile 85mm - it really connected you with the subject but wasn't disorienting. You gave me an idea, too: the 85mm circle shot would work well if you're trying to convey that someone just got some bad news that has thrown their world into chaos. Regardless, I learned a lot through this video. Thanks for sharing!
thats basically indian drama shows (tv show/serial) where whenever something happens they just do this and add audio(dum tanananannananan) . there quite a lot of memes on this too in india.
Awesome comparison! I liked the 85mm because it looked so dreamy, but that would only work in an intimate scene where we want to focus on our character.
For me, 50mm still looks best, you might say it's a photography centric focal length, but I have been using 50mm for video for a while and it looks sick
Hey, that is really a very good video! I have been a photographer since I was a child and have been photographing professionally for the last 16 years. I have also discovered video for myself some time ago. I was shooting weddings 99% of the time with two cameras, using a 50mm and a 35mm lens. Now, I have a 24mm lens that I absolutely love and use almost all the time for my videos, along with a 50mm. Since I got a new camera, I still need to buy the 35mm lens. I'm not sure if I really need it, but I don't want to miss having it. For me, 24mm, 35mm, and 50mm are the most important focal lengths. I use only prime lenses. I liked the shots with the 24mm lens the best. It was great to see them compared like this!
this is the kind of video i was looking for, actually I bought an 85mm as my first lens which was a huge mistake, 2:25 you are explaining the issue here, now I'm aiming to buy a 35mm as my second lens, since you mentioned you were a photographer for over a decade and you were shooting with 24, 35 and 85, now my planning is making a lot of since, my plan is that i want to add a 20mm to my 35 and 85 later on.
Technically because the lower the focal length the more the image compressed into the frame which makes everything "moves" faster due to more image is moving in the same range/size, and this is also why you see some distortion around the frame.
@@SiddharthJogi I already have both 35 & 24 .. because I got a promo for the 24mm paid 600$ new… I tend to use the 85 & 35 more.. I planning to get the 18mm instead of 24mm
Ergens halverwege zeg je dat je je gimbalinstellingen moet aanpassen want dat je niet helemaal tevreden bent. Als je een recente gopro (of een ander apparaat dat gyroscoopdata opneemt) op je camera plaatst kan je nadien met gyroflow je beelden nog supersmooth krijgen. Zo kan je ALLE camerafootage stabiliseren, zelfs footage zonder gimbal opgenomen krijg je zo smooth als iets. Heb dit nog nergens in je filmpjes gezien maar lijkt me wel interessant.
@@JorisHermans ja, met gewone goprofootage waardoor niet gesynced moet worden werkt het wel maar ook hier verpest het wel de juiste motion blur. Wist niet dat het helemaal niet werkte met gesynchroniseerde camerabeelden
hey, weighing in late here. To me when using the 24mm the background needs to be interesting or at least NOT distracting, which I felt it was in the shots where there is a truck or hanger behind her. The 35mm blurs the background a bit more, which helps. And the 85mm definitely feels more interesting for cinematic shots, isolates the character. What do you think about the 50mm focal length for gimbal work?
So these differences have to be created by the respective lenses and not by moving in or away from your subject (eg a 35mm moved in closer to the subject to mimic a 70mm distance)right?
Man, that 24 really looked amazing for that long shot, leading shot, and the circle shot. 85 was great for the follow shot and profile shot, though the other two did alright, too.
This video video made me decide what lens I should buy. I have for some weeks been torn between 24mm and 35mm. I could just buy the Sigma 18-35mm and be covered in, but I am a sucker for primes. 35mm it is!
Great comparison! So interesting to see how much the focal lenght affects the footage. I think all of these have their place in video, depending on the topic and the story as you said. Sometimes a nice wide angle view is needed when other times a narrow 85mm shot makes the footage more special 🙌🏼
Wow! That first walk on 85mm is like a scene from some TV series! You showed some amazing features I didn't think of before! Also the actress is looking good in the shot. Thank you.
Great video, you explain very well the differences, which in the videos are quite decisive, especially for those come from the world of photography where everything is more static........................
what a great video .. i'm just starting to research cameras and lens.. this helped me a lot.. i like the 35mm a lot and guess 50mm would be similar for just realism.. but in the last comparison the 85mm really made me think it would be great for emotional closeup scenes with facial expressions.. while the 24mm would be great if you wanted something else in the scene.. like people in the back on one side while she's smiling and walking away from them.. i wonder how a transition between two cameras with different lenses would look.. like going from 24mm to 85mm camera to get that smile expression... anyways i think your video really helped me be able to visualize some things.. thanks!
i love the feel of the 85mm it gives it this sci-fi, mystery kind of feel, the 24mm/35mm feels more economic and can be used to accommodate neutral and happy feelings, I'm currently debating between getting 2 new lens and 85mm and between a 24mm/35mm prime, it's weird because on my 24-105mm when on a gimbal when shooting video, i mostly really live on the 24mm end
Hey Joris. Great Video. Seriously, this taught so much more than taking a full course on Filmmaking or Cinematography. Quick Question - Why is that majority of the filmmaker when shooting B Roll specially Slow Motion shots prefer to a telephoto lens like 50mm or 85mm. Why can slow movement be done with a Wide Angle Lens?

This is a beautiful video, thanks!!! I have to ask, do you have a video talking about you photo work whit these three badass? Would be awsome. Thanks againb.
Great video! I learned so much in just 9 minutes. But can I ask (and this is an old video, so I don't expect a response) but what would be the difference between shooting wide in 24 and 'tight' in 85, as opposed to only shooting with a 24, and then just cropping in? Excuse my ignorance, and I'm sure it's obvious, but I just can't put my finger on it!
Hey Joris, could you give us some advice on how to use a 85 mm indoors for other things than portait? I just got a superb Viltroxx 85 mm and struggle to use it indoors, that would be helpful !
Hi, thanks because of sharing this informative video. I am a teacher and want to produce educational videoes while teaching which accompanied by writing on the whiteboad. I have canon r7. Which lense should I buy?
U're a Genius!!!! It's hard to buy all these amazing expensive lenses. Can we do all this with one lense? witch one would you recumbent ? where r u from?
Great Video - very informative and inspiring.... I'm looking for a new lense for my Sony A6000, your info has given me some insight into a few options, Thank you Joris!!
Thanks for this video. Now, to add to all of the other elements of cinematography (lighting, aspect ratios, subject placement, camera angles, etc.) now I get to ponder focal lengths in relation to motion as am element of visual story telling.
I like 35 most, 85 next. My Canon M50 22mm is equivalent of FF 35mm so I don't need to upgrade my lens. Maybe for 85mm but I doubt I would use it often. I could get old EF50mm lens with EF-M adapter.
Hey man your videos are cool. I shoot with Nikon glass. Moving to the black magic 4k. What are good lenses for film and do you think Nikon Prime 35 and Zoom 18-35 are good lenses for a Black Magic?
good review and see the results in real time is wonderful..good job. now, what lens would you use for high speed camera wave for slow motion videos? indoor and outdoor use ? 85 mm?
I think 35mm is better for short films because it highlights the subject and also lets us to see what is going on in background with minimum blur.. that is really good
Hello Joris, Great and informative video, please I would really appreciate it if you read my comment and reply. I do cooking videos and I would like to find Sony camera lens that is able to take 4k image to a cooking pan from about a meter away to avoid the heat and the splashing oil but at the same time to be able to zoom very close to get a micro image to the ingredients. I would really appreciate your help.
What lens did you shoot the video in your studio with? I'm having some issues with AF and the items I show on my RUclips videos. MAYBE I just need a lot of b-roll.
I really want to buy a 24mm 1.8 for my Lumix S5, but as it crops 1.5 when shooting in 50/60fps, I'm not sure it's with it. I already own a 18mm, 35, 50 & 85. what do you think?
really enjoyed the different focal length demos!! and the setting is so pretty!! Question, did you shoot in log? did you add stabilization in post? thx!! really love your videos :)
@@JorisHermans Thx!! the smoothness of your gimbal shots are amazing!! I've tried some walking shots with a Ronin RSC2 but the gimbal wouldn't hold the camera still which was very disappointing and ended up returning the gimbal. I'm sure some of it was user error but it would shake from left to right and couldn't seem to get it to stop that... thanks again for replying :)
Awesome vid 👍 @Joris Hermans, nice comparison. Can't choose any 😅, all 3 of them are good in their own way while using it, & as you said it will mainly depend on what's the story, what needs to be conveyed, and the focal length. But maybe if I need to choose, I would go for the 24mm * I'm planning to go for either the Sony aps-c 50mm F1.8 OSS or Sigma 30mm f1.4 for my a6400.
EDIT: Right, I shot everything with my Sony A7S III (Full-Frame).

I am wanting to purchase a lense that is an upgraded or better quality than the Rf -18 -45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM …my budget is 700. Any recommendations ?
good review and see the results in real time is wonderful..good job.
now, what lens would you use for high speed camera wave for slow motion videos? indoor and outdoor use ? 85 mm?
I think it doesn't really matter. It depends on how close you want to be to your subject 🤔
I think 35mm is better for short films because it highlights the subject and also lets us to see what is going on in background with minimum blur.. that is really good
Hello Joris, Great and informative video, please I would really appreciate it if you read my comment and reply. I do cooking videos and I would like to find Sony camera lens that is able to take 4k image to a cooking pan from about a meter away to avoid the heat and the splashing oil but at the same time to be able to zoom very close to get a micro image to the ingredients. I would really appreciate your help.
The lens u used to shoot intro ?
What lens did you shoot the video in your studio with? I'm having some issues with AF and the items I show on my RUclips videos. MAYBE I just need a lot of b-roll.
Great video man super helpful
this was very useful
Excellent video, thank you and thanks for the extra tips
best explained video ... perfect 👌🏼 👌🏼 👌🏼
wow this video is informative in a very cool and unique way! thank you for it! :)
Ok it did blow my mind. Thanks
I really want to buy a 24mm 1.8 for my Lumix S5, but as it crops 1.5 when shooting in 50/60fps, I'm not sure it's with it. I already own a 18mm, 35, 50 & 85. what do you think?
Which one you recommend for filming yoga videos for a website?
I would go for something more flexible. Like a standard zoom.
Love the 35MM
gracias! me ayudo mucho tu video!
Would you say the 24mm is also good to film a choreography?
Great video! So well explained🙌
I know various lenses required for short films but the doubt is which lens suits most of the dramatic scenes 35mm or 50 mm
really enjoyed the different focal length demos!! and the setting is so pretty!! Question, did you shoot in log? did you add stabilization in post? thx!! really love your videos :)
Log: yes! Stabilization in post: No, I turned on IBIS for extra smoothness.
@@JorisHermans Thx!! the smoothness of your gimbal shots are amazing!! I've tried some walking shots with a Ronin RSC2 but the gimbal wouldn't hold the camera still which was very disappointing and ended up returning the gimbal. I'm sure some of it was user error but it would shake from left to right and couldn't seem to get it to stop that... thanks again for replying :)
Awesome vid 👍 @Joris Hermans, nice comparison. Can't choose any 😅, all 3 of them are good in their own way while using it, & as you said it will mainly depend on what's the story, what needs to be conveyed, and the focal length.
But maybe if I need to choose, I would go for the 24mm
* I'm planning to go for either the Sony aps-c 50mm F1.8 OSS or Sigma 30mm f1.4 for my a6400.
