I think wider lenses physically closer have a more intimate feel, and longer lenses for close ups feel way less intimate and more “stalker-like” as if you’re watching someone from far away - because you technically are.
So the 28 has them at a distance as they meet and he fucks up by calling her wrong name ? Then as he explains himself and she helps to soothe his mind..the 40mm kicks in as they start to gain a better connection and as they start over the 40mm reflects this bringing them closer with a tighter shot . thats the Lens language I'm seeing.
Yea, it’s very subtle, it’s not a huge jump. It just helps guide the viewer, through the scene. Every little bit helps. Of course you can just stay on the 40mm the whole time, but then that distance isn’t as emphasized when they are having the awkward moment.
Trying to understand, but isn't it only about lens distortion? If you go close or far enough with your camera, it shouldn't matter what the value is in mm. Not?
It's about the angle of view the lens provides. Yes, you can equally fill the frame with your subject with both a 28mm or a 40mm by moving closer or farther away, but 1) the images will will look quite different (distortion, compression, etc.) and 2) you will be working from different distances. There can be a lot of nuances when it comes to lenses, but that's what we love about them. :)
The one that's hard to decide on is the 40mm pl or the 50mm pl on a Red komodo 1.33 crop sensor . I understand a 50mm is a 50mm but I want the 50mm field of view and a 50mm will give me a 66.5mm type field of view with the red komodo camera 1.33 Crop in 6k . What are the benefits of 50mm 66.6mm vs 53mm type field of view with the 40mm sigma cine ?
yep I was wondering the same, but if you do the math again, the 50 gives you the 66.6mm which in a more normal sized super 35 sensor if u use a 40mm you would get 65 fov.. it's fun calculating all these kinds of stuff but in reality I've always found that my needs and wants for a shoot don't match my math :P I think the oversized super 35 sensor on the komodo is a great way to use "common focal lengths" and get the unusual fov that's used by many directors, don't know if you catch my idea. Also better low light I guess. So I guess the benefits to your question (from my point of view), is that you can get less usual fov (comparing to average youtube videos and filmmaking), with the "common focal length range" I would love to get my hands on a komodo with the DZO set
Yes I messed up the math, I've been doing a lot of calculations recently like you because I'm considering the same stuff as you. I might get komodo + dzo or maybe komodo + irix

Very helpful. I have a 28mm and 50mm. I am trying to decide whether to add a 40mm to my toolbox.
It’s on sale for $549 on Adorama right now
Same here!
I have 50mm and I want to add.. 28 or 35? Could u plz suggest?

Thank you. This is very helpful.

@@jorgeloco On komodo the 40mm is not 65 fov it's around 52

Or no wait, I meant 50mm on komodo vs 40mm on another sensor with 1.5 crop
50×1.33= 66.5 / 40×1.5= 60
@@jorgeloco 6k on komodo is 1.33 × 40mm = around 52mm
Sigma art 28mm & esp _40mm_ are excellent.. big & heavy Glass
