24mm was my choice. I still have to work around perspective distortion that comes with close up subjects at this focal length but I got the barrel distortion free Sony, 24mm, f1.4, GM. My thought was it would offer the most flexible jack of all trades focal length. While 24mm is my “go to” I still really like 35mm. Sony’s Super 35 APSC crop mode feature, which allows you to get to 35mm (36mm) from 24mm, turned out to be the strawberry on the cake, as I did not know about this perk when I bought the lens. I assigned it to one of my customizable buttons and use it all the time. In using this feature for photos one gives up MP, (on my A7IV 33MP becomes 14MP) and aperture, (f1.4 becomes f2.1), but no penalty at all on video. One can achieve the same effect editing in post, but I’m one who likes getting it right in camera and doesn’t love post work. I’ll resort to post editing to rescue shots that didn’t turnout so well at the time of capture. For this reason I don’t own a 35mm prime.
Great review. Haven't used either one of those length and it is great to know and see the differences, quality and side by side. Thank you Julia. Great video and review, explanation and points that you make on the topic.
I personally like 24mm focal length as it captures details in the background when shoot portraits and also so useful when I want to make videos and do street photography as well. Very versatile lens for my own use. I love the both lenses.
Hey Julia, thank you very much for your video. I have been waiting for such a comparison. I've also been trying for months to decide on one of the two focal lengths. The videos that are available on RUclips so far, always compare the two focal lengths with the same distance to the model. So you can only see the differences in the angle of view, but not the different effect of the focal lengths. Due to your identical framing you can see exactly the different image effect. For me, the 24mm lens has something very special.
If you primarily do Photos, then 35mm will do the job for most folks! But if you’re into videography as well, 24mm can be the better choice. Especially if you have some extra megapixels to crop when needed! Although - if your wallet allows it - get both lenses! But as you said in the video, it’s all about personal preference
Thank you Julia, I love the comparison of all the prime lens that you spoke about on all 3 parts of your video. I just got my hand on a Bronica 6x45 and 6x6, 120 film camera. I am looking forward to use your techniques on portrait fotography.
While I can appreciate a good 35mm, 24 is my go to! My A7iv has plenty of resolution to crop if needed, and the 24mm lens gives me flexibility to shoot wider if I need to, and then crop a bit in post. But do I still plan on buying 35 eventually? Yes. The answer is always yes 😂 Awesome video!
Agreed! You can always crop in a bit, you can’t crop out. Same goes with video. I love that the 24mm gives me a wide enough angle for establishing shots or unique close ups, but in crop mode I get about a 40mm equivalent (after crop factors for FB comp and Active Stab).
Nice video as always Julia. I really like the 35mm images. It would be a struggle getting close up on a 24mm and not looking stretched or distorted on the face, but you did a great job. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome vid, I tried the sony 35 1.8 for an event and loved it so much that I decided to buy the 35mm 1.4 GM. Love it, it's my primary lens that I use for almost everything.
I use a 24/35/85mm lens kit on my Nikon SLR. I use a 21/35/90mm lens kit on my Leica rangefinder. Both kits do a good job. However, I sometimes think the 24 and 35 are too close together in focal length. I really prefer the 21 and 35 instead of the 24 and 35.
Believe it or not, I've actually been using my 20mm quite a bit when taking my portrait shots! There is some distortion, but I love placing the subject in with their environment and really trying to tell a story, like you said.
I don't get why people are so obsessive over what focal lengths are for what purposes... I love shooting subjects (photo or video) with a 24mm, even talking head interviews and moving the camera closer, into the conversation instead of eavesdropping from a telephoto. I even use a 14mm a decent bit for documentary filming. Don't know why people think you need to use a wide angle lens as a gimmick and get 2 inches from your subject. If you use a wide angle as a wide angle and compose with subjects in the middle, the distortion is barely noticeable.
Hi Julia, in your hands every lens becomes perfect, both the 24mm and the 35mm have their own charisma in portraits, and a personal magic in the bust. In this scenario of focal length, and with the subject/model far away, I prefer the 35mm. In this shooting setting I also see a 28mm. However egregious and magnificent both 24 and 35, and a lovely Julia. 🎉💯❤🎵🎶🎵
Hi Julia. Nice video. Would be great if we could see de difference between the 24mm APS-C mode vs the 35mm regarding compression and distortion. Thanks!
@@Alex_Unders you can achieve the same framing definitely. Just like I said, the compression and distortion will still be different between the two focal lengths
Thank you and yes! We just got raw support in Lightroom for the S5II a couple of days ago so I have already started editing some new photos for videos I'm working on :)
This is such a useful series, thank you! Also, please please please if you can get your hands on the new Sigma 50mm 1.4, would love a portrait comparison between it and the Samyang 50mm 1.4 as well as the GM 50mm 1.4. I will be buying one of these soon. 🙏
You posed a question today, 4/23/23 about our favorite focal length... Mine is my new 50mm 1.8 I love the bokah & just how much light it lets in in shaded situations. I apologize for sending this on a different video, but I lost today's video...
I didn't realize how much of a difference the field of view is between 24 and 35. I shoot a Nikon Z 5 and it came with a 40mm f2. With it being so close to 35mm I opted out and bought the Viltrox 24mm f1.8. I am wondering if I should get rid of the 40 and get a 35mm and 50mm. As of now I may keep it slightly different for personal touch and shoot 24, 40, and 85mm in my portraits. Maybe even trade out the 85 with something slightly shorter or longer, but no 85mm would be crazy right? Lol
I have recently purchased the a74 after owning a A9 , and I am so happy with the A74..it left the A9 in the dust for image quality in my option, the A9 , whilst fast, was soft no matter what glass I put in front of it , the a74 is ..beautiful! I currently have a Tamron 35 - 150 and while it is a big unit, I am happy with the shots I'm getting with it , but I think a 24mm is the next move for me !
Hi Julia, I always love your insight. I’m currently working on a portrait series for my class, & I just want to ask if you think a 85mm & 24mm would make a cohesive series, or if I should pick more similar focal lengths?
Thank you! I personally love the 85 + 35 combo, but a 24 could work well too. I have a video called My 2 favourite portrait lenses which talks about this topic. I personally like using 2 quite different lenses in combination as you end up with a wider variety of photos.
I did exactly that & picked the 24mm zoom in combination with an 85mm prime, the results were amazing. The style of that particular shoot worked really well with both & they ended up complementing each other quite nicely. But as an aside I since I used a zoom lens I did find 35mm was more approachable & just as fun
...since that last video, I now worry about leeches. Leeches everywhere! Aiieeee. Know what I would love? Videos that have male or female/male subjects. I know you have a few, but it's been a while - I think? I'm a wedding photographer and probably shoot 70% of my shots on a 24mm - I never take shots where it's just the face :) But ceremony aside, if I had to rock with just one lens, the 35 is my do-it-all. You're right about how close up you have to be. This why taking a photograph is really just one part of photography; being able to work with your clients, being able to read them, find ways to make the session enjoyable with camera-shy couples, etc, etc are all super important. And probably more important than our obsessions over gear. I know you know this! I just started a ramble and went with it - lol. Sorry :) Great vid as always!
Bahaha those leeches give me the shivers.. luckily that's only ever happened to me about 3 times, the other 2 times I was hiking around a waterfall. So at least it's not that common! Yeah it has been a while since I've had a male subject. In my travel videos I've been sharing recently though I do share lots of photos I take of Dan. But I might have to plan an actual photoshoot soon with a male. I feel like most wedding photographs either use the 24 or 35 as their main lens, I'm in the 35mm group! And don't be sorry, I enjoy reading comments!!
Thank you for the links to your gear! I didn't find a link for the dual camera harness you're using in the video; could you tell me what brand/model it is?
Hey Julia, Thankyou for these great set of videos. Can I ask what filters do you use on these 24 and 85 prime gm lenses ? Do you also use cpl filters other than uv ? Can you suggest some specific ones in Hoya or any other recommended ones ?
She uses 200 iso for the 0 play. the other locations have better light and there in the shadow is less light, so if she doesn't want or can increase shutter speed or change aperture, she needs to raise the iso lightly. (sry english is not my main language)
Good afternoon ! I took an a7iv this week, I found something strange when I deactivate the e-Front Cutain Shutter on the camera and take a picture, it seems that it makes two shooting sounds. With the e-Front Cutain Shut I only hear a trigger sound Do you know if this is normal? Greetings from Brazil =)
85mm vs the 105mm would be a good one to test for beauty shots. The 85mm is likely more flexible 3/4 length to headshots, yet the 105mm has been the classic portrait lens for over five decades for a reason. Not sure about the 135mm - that focal length has a little too much compression making faces look heavier.
Hi Julia. I've been watching your videos for a while now and I can't help to notice that you shoot at the widest aperture almost all the time. Just because you can? The photos all look gorgeous though..
I haven't shot in like a month because every time I shooti push my portfolio back. as soon ad im done with that im brining the 24 out for a shoot and just my 24
Most people I’ve talked to it’s 35mm much more versatile in ways to shoot with and less distortion, it’s wide enough and take a few steps back it’s still great . Still great for group shots . 24mm can be a bit too wide and effect some people in the group shots and 35mm alllows you to be closer to who or what your shootings as well and bokeh is better but not too harsh either like a 50mm for example it’s a great balance if you had to pick one
Yes! I was thinking of doing the "main" focal lengths first 24, 35, 50, etc. Then maybe I can do some more specific focal lengths too. Like 40 vs 55 or 55 vs 65 :)
I would recommend a used Sony A7III, and a used Sigma 28-70mm or 24-70mm F2.8 to start. Though, for church photography you’re gonna want to get a prime that can open up wider, so maybe a consider getting a used prime lens.
the used one should be around 700thousand or 800 thousand, that is the situation of things in this country, i really wanna get the camera, but i cannot afford that, of course i would get it if i could.
Hey Julia! Loved the video and can’t wait to see more (hoping to see the 50mm 1.2 as its my favorite lens of all time and just want more of your photos with it!) would you ever consider doing a video about the application of Lightroom presets across different branded lenses to get them all consistent? I use Samyang/sigma/tamron/Sony lenses and when applying presets they can vary so widely and can take so long to get consistent and clean across the board. Would love to see how you handle that. (Also bought some presets from your website but never received them. If you could respond to my email that would be much appreciated 🙏)
i love this comparisons, i'm trying my best to work on environmental portraits instead of bokeh everything. I don't think you can go wrong with 24mm or 35m, i currently have the 35mm but i'm considering the 24mm thanks to your video! just got to get out and shoot more, thanks for an amazing video!
The 35mm is more flexible. Wide enough to photograph groups when needed, I think it more closely matches the human eye than the "nifty-fifty". The 24mm can give especially dramatic shots. The wide lens images are coming more into vogue due to closely matching the focal width (after taking the tiny sensors into account) of many cell phones. I watched a video on the subject by a Finnish photographer a little while ago and it convinced me that the wide lenses are worth a try. I also go as wide as 180mm and on rare occasions even a 300mm prime once in a blue moon. But (obviously) the longer lenses are only for rare exceptions like the really narrow lenses. I am even thinking of experimenting with a 14mm (not fisheye, it's rectilinear). Problems with the extreme lenses are: Really long lenses make you stand too far away and flatten facial features into a 2-D effect. Really wide lenses exaggerate facial details and if you get too close you can turn a button nose into a carrot stick.
This is probably just me but it kills me when I see someone not looking through the eyepiece and looking at the lcd instead. It feels too much like using an old point and shoot. I bought an slr for a reason. It probably comes from a younger generation that grew up taking cell phone pictures where when I first started using a camera it was all film so you had to look through the eye piece. Still it just doesn't feel right. Plus you can hold it as steady when you are holding it at arm's length like that.
She actually has a video explaining this. I use both, and can totally see why she would just use the screen. I don't want to speak on behalf of Julia, but her and I both do weddings, and with so much going on, it helps to be able to keep an eye on things around you - using the viewfinder you're blind to things next to you. When I work with very camera shy couples, I often will start the session using the screen because it's a little less intimidating; you can still chat and communicate with your subject. Using the screen also can give a sense of how the image looks when in print, which can be helpful in fashion and product photography - it's a little hard to explain, it's kind of a vibe. But yeah, everyone has a different approach that works for them :)
@@jasonwrites9186 to be clear. I'm not saying it's actually wrong to do it. I'm only saying it always feels wrong to me when I see someone doing it. Remember, I did say that when I first started learning photography there was no lcd. There are definitely situations where using the lcd would have its advantages but it would still just feel strange to me. Plus when I'm looking through the viewfinder I keep my other eye open so that I can see what's around me. I simply shift focus from one eye to the other. Of course I am now actually blind in my right eye so I can't do this anymore.
Yeah I do have a video about this topic. I also spent more than 8 years as a full time photographer using a DSLR and shooting solely through the viewfinder. So I'm not part of the generation who grew up taking phone photos.

I'm tired of seeing portrait photos with a blurry background. it's more fun to see the context around the subject. it takes more skill
24mm is my fav focal length for environmental portraits, it tells so much story about the person and the moment (place and light) in the photo

My street kit is two bodies (Sony A7C) with 24mm f1.4, 35mm f1.4 and 85mm f1.4. This covers everything I want to do.

If you use a wide angle as a wide angle and compose with subjects in the middle, the distortion is barely noticeable.
Whatever I think about & then search on RUclips, you have an excellent video on it! 😁 Thank you for the video.

Question. how does the camera sensor size effect the photo when both using lenses

Hey Julia, Thankyou for these great set of videos. Can I ask what filters do you use on these 24 and 85 prime gm lenses ? Do you also use cpl filters other than uv ? Can you suggest some specific ones in Hoya or any other recommended ones ?
Hey Julia do you any affiliate links to the device you use to record your camera screen or a tutorial on how to?
Sony really needs a 28mm GM to split the difference between the two lenses. 24mm often looks too wide and 35mm too narrow.
Nah. Learn how to shoot.
I agree! I have Sony's current 28mm f2, but would love to see an updated version with better optics.
Agreed. Thats why i love my Q2 ;)
Petter MCkinnon and you are my favorite photographer 🥰❤️
Hi, as always great tips. Would you mind sharing the link to the camera strap you have?

35mm for me, but this was a great comparison. I am more a nifty 50 kinda guy and could see where the 24mm could make a nice compliment.
Nice video, but how did you get the recording on your camera back screen done?
Hi Julia,
Why do you shoot iso 200 instead of 100 :)? Does it give you a specific look?
She uses 200 iso for the 0 play. the other locations have better light and there in the shadow is less light, so if she doesn't want or can increase shutter speed or change aperture, she needs to raise the iso lightly. (sry english is not my main language)

Hi Julia. I've been watching your videos for a while now and I can't help to notice that you shoot at the widest aperture almost all the time. Just because you can? The photos all look gorgeous though..
I loved the 35mm focal lenth.. waiting for sigma 50mm 1.4 review 🙏
24mm vs 35mm Whose 1 is Bast For Wedding....????
I haven't shot in like a month because every time I shooti push my portfolio back. as soon ad im done with that im brining the 24 out for a shoot and just my 24
Are we warming up for the new 50 1.4 GM? 🤭
But eyes are more like 22mm fov, how realistic are these?
Perfect test!
Dude her smile🥺
24mm vs 35mm which's one is the best for wedding photography?
Most people I’ve talked to it’s 35mm much more versatile in ways to shoot with and less distortion, it’s wide enough and take a few steps back it’s still great . Still great for group shots . 24mm can be a bit too wide and effect some people in the group shots and 35mm alllows you to be closer to who or what your shootings as well and bokeh is better but not too harsh either like a 50mm for example it’s a great balance if you had to pick one
Yo, ,are you not testing the new Sigma 50 F1.4?
I only just got back from Antarctica like a week ago so I have been doing some catch up work! I will try and get my hands on it soon.
@@juliatrotti Even better. Can't wait to see the video and pictures of Antarctica.
Thank you sister for sharing this video ❤
Can yo do a Sony 50 or 55mm vs the sigma 65mm f2?
Yes! I was thinking of doing the "main" focal lengths first 24, 35, 50, etc. Then maybe I can do some more specific focal lengths too. Like 40 vs 55 or 55 vs 65 :)
Hello everyone, would anyone here advice Sony A6000 for a beginner?
For Portraits/Street and Church Photography?
I would recommend a used Sony A7III, and a used Sigma 28-70mm or 24-70mm F2.8 to start. Though, for church photography you’re gonna want to get a prime that can open up wider, so maybe a consider getting a used prime lens.
@@DavidStella I cannot afford A7iii
It's almost a million naira in Nigeria, thanks for replying though.
@@mamaadura9831 1 million Naira for a used one? Either way, I hope you get a camera that serves helps foster your passion and creativity.
the used one should be around 700thousand or 800 thousand, that is the situation of things in this country, i really wanna get the camera, but i cannot afford that, of course i would get it if i could.
whats the strap name that she holding both camera in her body?
They're called the Moneymakers from Holdfast Gear
@@juliatrotti Ah thanks julia, looking forward to it soon!
Very good model!
Hey Julia! Loved the video and can’t wait to see more (hoping to see the 50mm 1.2 as its my favorite lens of all time and just want more of your photos with it!) would you ever consider doing a video about the application of Lightroom presets across different branded lenses to get them all consistent? I use Samyang/sigma/tamron/Sony lenses and when applying presets they can vary so widely and can take so long to get consistent and clean across the board. Would love to see how you handle that.
(Also bought some presets from your website but never received them. If you could respond to my email that would be much appreciated 🙏)
Make a video with the 28mm please.
50 vs 85 up next ?? :)
Secondly😍📸😂
Love the 35mm
Helpful. Thanks.
Ofcourse a 35MM killed the show for me 🔥
i love this comparisons, i'm trying my best to work on environmental portraits instead of bokeh everything. I don't think you can go wrong with 24mm or 35m, i currently have the 35mm but i'm considering the 24mm thanks to your video! just got to get out and shoot more, thanks for an amazing video!
Glad you enjoyed it and me too, I love working on getting more environmental portraits - I don't spend hours location scouting for nothing 😂
🔥🔥🔥
Can't wait for 85 vs 105
I ended up doing 105mm vs 135mm 😬 should I film 85mm vs 105mm too?
Yes please
very nice
The 35mm is more flexible. Wide enough to photograph groups when needed, I think it more closely matches the human eye than the "nifty-fifty". The 24mm can give especially dramatic shots. The wide lens images are coming more into vogue due to closely matching the focal width (after taking the tiny sensors into account) of many cell phones. I watched a video on the subject by a Finnish photographer a little while ago and it convinced me that the wide lenses are worth a try. I also go as wide as 180mm and on rare occasions even a 300mm prime once in a blue moon. But (obviously) the longer lenses are only for rare exceptions like the really narrow lenses. I am even thinking of experimenting with a 14mm (not fisheye, it's rectilinear). Problems with the extreme lenses are: Really long lenses make you stand too far away and flatten facial features into a 2-D effect. Really wide lenses exaggerate facial details and if you get too close you can turn a button nose into a carrot stick.
Definitely have to be careful with a 24mm the closer you get to someone's face. The nose will look bigger.

This is probably just me but it kills me when I see someone not looking through the eyepiece and looking at the lcd instead. It feels too much like using an old point and shoot. I bought an slr for a reason. It probably comes from a younger generation that grew up taking cell phone pictures where when I first started using a camera it was all film so you had to look through the eye piece. Still it just doesn't feel right. Plus you can hold it as steady when you are holding it at arm's length like that.
She actually made a video about why she does this.
She actually has a video explaining this. I use both, and can totally see why she would just use the screen. I don't want to speak on behalf of Julia, but her and I both do weddings, and with so much going on, it helps to be able to keep an eye on things around you - using the viewfinder you're blind to things next to you. When I work with very camera shy couples, I often will start the session using the screen because it's a little less intimidating; you can still chat and communicate with your subject. Using the screen also can give a sense of how the image looks when in print, which can be helpful in fashion and product photography - it's a little hard to explain, it's kind of a vibe.
But yeah, everyone has a different approach that works for them :)
@@jasonwrites9186 to be clear. I'm not saying it's actually wrong to do it. I'm only saying it always feels wrong to me when I see someone doing it. Remember, I did say that when I first started learning photography there was no lcd. There are definitely situations where using the lcd would have its advantages but it would still just feel strange to me. Plus when I'm looking through the viewfinder I keep my other eye open so that I can see what's around me. I simply shift focus from one eye to the other. Of course I am now actually blind in my right eye so I can't do this anymore.
@@JasonDavis1977 agreed. This looks so dumb
Yeah I do have a video about this topic. I also spent more than 8 years as a full time photographer using a DSLR and shooting solely through the viewfinder. So I'm not part of the generation who grew up taking phone photos.
Third yes
First!
Sorry, once you get to know your camera and lens that's all you are going to use, it's the type of photography your using it for
Gday julia
Team 24mm. 😂
35mm will always be king for me for portraits
