I wish I'd seen your video before getting an RF50mm for my R100 (APS-C). It really is beautiful, though, I love using it as a "fast" lens with low light or IR filters, but it's kind of too zoomed for my tastes on random walking around usage. Bit of a shame, really, because it's by far one of the cheapest primes for R-series cameras right now. I'm looking into a 35mm f/1.8 lately.
I think a 35mm would be a great blend between photo and video capabilities for my apsc body, it can handle very versatile range of genres like portraits, landscape, videos and all.
Bro i want to a lens for minimal photography and videography for all kinds of condition which lens should i buy 35mm or 50mm for a crop sensored camera 200d?
A quick upfront disclaimer. I am an ameteur photographer. I don't make a living taking photographs. I thoroughly enjoyed your video and I gave you a thumbs up. However, there is one little fact you left out; and that is the cost of an 85mm lens. I shoot with a crop sensor camera. I own a 35mm lens and a 50mm lens. I use the 35mm lens for family gatherings, and the 50mm lens for shooting events. I paid $75.00 for my used 35mm lens, and $120.00 for my used 50mm lens. A used 85mm lens will cost more than both the 50mm and 35mm lenses together. You can find them at used camera sites like KEH or MPB ranging from $280.00 to $350.00. Anyone who can dole out $300.00 dollars for a lens can afford a full frame camera. Besides, I have never had any problem shooting with my 50mm lens. Now having said all that, yes an 85mm lens is an amazing lens. One day when I can afford it, I plan to add an 85mm to my lens collection. Also I plan to upgrade to a full frame camera somewhere down the road.
This was really well done, except for one major flaw: most of the visual examples were full-frame while speaking on cropped perspectives. I appreciated the compilation of popular youtubers at first, until i realized none of it matched what was being said.
The first prime lens I purchased for my APS-C crop sensor camera was a 23mm f/1.4. The second prime lens I purchased for my APS-C crop sensor camera was a 56mm f/1.2. The third prime lens I purchased for my APS-C crop sensor camera was a 16mm f/1.4. If forced to choose between a 35, 50, and 85mm as my first lens for my APS-C crop sensor camera, I would choose the 35mm.
Damn thats so correct ,thats why i bought my first DLSR recently & bought only body & seperately buy one lens & thats a 35mm ,I am really happy with it
Dude this was amazingly put together. An AMAZING video. How the hell does it have this few views, in comparison to what it deserves. Thank you! Cleared up a lot of stuff for me
Thank you so much!! Appreciate your support 🙏 The RUclips algorithm probably didn’t pick it up yet, but sharing, watching in full and leaving comments really helps, so thank you for raising the engagement part on this video :)
Ok, just like you said FULL FRAME / CROP 35/52.5 50/75 56/84 85/127.5 So, I think, since my camera is sony a6400 , I should go for 35mm first. Then 56mm because that will give me near 85mm . 84mm will give me good zoom, compression and Bokah. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you.
What do you😢 have now? If a kit lens, which one? And, what subject matter? It's like saying "I want to hunt. What firearm should I get?" Are you interested in ducks / geese, quail, rabbits or deer / elk? You might have a $750 budget but would select completely different firearms.
For the best quality pictures, should I get the 85mm on my APS-C camera? Or am I supposed to get a 50mm lens, since it would be the equivalent to a full-frame 85mm?
Any thoughts for best lens length for landscape? I assume the 35mm would be great for getting more in the frame, but would an 85 work well at all for trying to pull distant features forward (like a mountain) with some compression? Newer to photography so just trying to learn!
Thank you for your video. I have a question and I fall directly into the category for which you created this video for. 😀 I have a Sony A6100 (APS-C) with the kit lens and I thinking about upgrading and getting a better (more appropriate) lens to take pictures of my crafts to use on my online shops. In other words I will be using the lens for product photography. My crafts are not large. At the largest I would say they are a square foot. Which lens do you recommend for product photography on a crop sensor camera such as the Sony A6100? Do I need a new lens or should I just stick with the 16-50 that the camera came with. Thank you in advance. :)
@@oliverherzog7702 Thank you very much for your response. I went ahead and got the Sony 50mm oss and I am very happy with it. Much better then the kit lens for me.
Meike EF-M 28mm/2.8 on a Canon EOS M line camera givea you 45mm effective which is pretty damned close to that 43mm sweetspot for a whopping $80 with some awesome image quality.
I have a 100 euro 50 mm 1.8G dx on my 35 euro Nikon d70... Yep that is small and cheap. With a 52-58 adapter I can combine itit with canon WC(0.7) and TC (1.5) lenses to a 24.5mm and to a 52.5 lens with out loosing light.............but of course in reality that is actually more like 35 mm and 85 in ff terms. So I have 35-50-85 with me in a really small package. It is great when I want to go light weight and light strong.
Thank you for saving me some money. I shoot on APS-C and have Sigma 18-35 f1.8 already. Thought about buying 50mm f1.8 prime, but it seems to be pointless. Would rather invest in ultra wide or telescopic, because don't have such. Also I think 17-70mm with decent aperture is great, but pricey.
Hi Tender, glad you found this video useful and thank for sharing! Hope you enjoy whatever lens you’ll end up buying (and you’re always welcome here to share your experience) :)
I also have aps-c camera and 18-35,f1.8. I was thinking about to buy a lens of higher focal length. But lens like 24-70 all expensive for me. So now, I'm thinking about 85mm.
@@tender.branson sigma 50-100 would be a great idea if your budget allows. Because sigma 18-35 and 50-100 have same filter size of 72mm, you can use same filter for both.
@@CrushingPhotography I do a lot of car photography and nature photography too, but the lens is taking its time to arrive. Though its all manual, I’m used to that with owning like 6 vintage lenses
60mm. Nikon offers the Micro Nikkor 2.8; Tamron, a 60mm macro f2.O. Fast, excellent (Nikon) to very good (Tamron) IQ. 90-95mm equivalent on APS-C. Both focus to 1:1 without extension tubes so tight portraits as desired. $100-200 used, excellent condition. Very nice bokeh. VERY sharp @ best aperture, f5. 6 to 8.0. My FIRST choice for an all-around prime.
For the best quality pictures, should I get the 85mm on my APS-C camera? Or am I supposed to get a 50mm lens, since it would be the equivalent to a full-frame 85mm?
This is exactly where the video becomes confusing. 35 and 50mm are converted into their FF counterparts and the video correctly explains how you would get a similar shot shooting 35 on crop vs 50mm on FF and how 50 is narrow on crop but normal at 50mm and if you want normal, get the 35mm, all good. But then the video suddenly explains how 85 is so great on FF for its compression and the equivalent of that on crop would the 53-56 but doesn't go into the actual use of that 85 on a crop body, which makes it act more like a 135mm lens. I actually own the canon 85mm 1.8 and use it on a crop body. As long as you have a lot of space, I find it to be an amazing field of view. But... a LOT of space :P

sigma 18-35 with constant aperture is best even it is zoom lens
