All these photos were taken on the Canon 5D mk iv - a full frame camera! Let me know if you’d like me to do the same with crop frame :)
Also I’ve made a blog post where you can easily compare each focal length side by side: blog.juliatrotti.com/pictures/24mm-vs-35mm-vs-50mm-vs-85mm-vs-135mm
Great video, thanks. I use cropped sensor and I'd like to see this same test with this kind of camera
Omg yes please! I'd love to see how this would work with a crop frame. I'm just learning - I inherited a canon60d with a mix of lenses and have no idea what I'm doing. 😳 your videos have been a godsend!
Yes, pls!
That's what I was looking for and yes plz do the same with crop sensor camera.
Absolutely! I have a Canon m50 so it would be great to know how these lenses perform with the adapter on that style camera.
THANK YOU SO MUCH - nothing is more clear than the different pictures side by side, I finally see what the difference is about !
Although 85mm is always gonna be my favorite, i usually recommend a 50mm for anyone that is starting out, It's the most versatile and true to the human eye. Amazing video Julia!
Thank you and yes I completely agree! The 50 is so versatile if you can only have one lens :D
The 50mm being so versatile, will it trap me from exploring other lenses as a beginner?
I was starting to feel inscure about the 50mm that came with my camera lol, thanks. I do want an 85 though.
El Chupacabra If it's for your hobby, buying less lens would actually save you money. If you are a professional, then choosing the right lens is also important.
@@69elchupacabra69 no if you know what kind of photography you are doing you will always feel the need for other lenses . the 50mm is very versatile but it leaves some gaps . Curious to know what lens decisions you have took in 11 months .
Thank you so much for all you do Julia. Your videos are always informative, yet inspirational, and with just the right amount of technical details, yet without getting bogged down by them. No click-bait titles, no stirring fanbois, and no unseemly shilling gear to your subs. I'm so glad i discovered this channel. You're brilliant. 👍
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that 💛
Thanks Julia, another great video.!!
My favorite is 85mm and for body shots Signa art 35mm.
I carry the 24 1.4 and 85 1.8 everywhere I go. Great job Julia!!
A beautifully done job. One of the best comparison videos I've seen.
Finally, someone explaining and SHOWING the differences between multiple lenses. We, at least I, want to see this kind of videos where you not only explain, but also show what happens when all the theorie is applied. Great job. Keep it up
Love the comparisons! Definitely reassures me saving for the 85mm is what I want :) Thank you!
The 135mm is my favorite lens here, but the 35mm as an environmental / editorial lens looks good.
Love these comparisons! REALLY helps making a decision towards what I'm looking for in my photography! You're awesome!
As someone who's getting back into photography, I found this really informative and helpful in helping me choose my next lense purchase. Thank you! My favorite was the 85mm for sure
My favorite prime lens is the 35mm because of its versatility and the feeling of "closeness" in an image when taking pictures of couples but the 85 is also AWESOME.
Shout out to Julia for always putting out awesome content!:)
I love 40mm and 85mm on my 1.6x crop camera :)
For portraits, fast 35mm is always in my bag. Very versatile and I only need to set the brightest aperture to have background blur. For wider angle, I would prefer a 16-35 than a 24mm prime.
Only if I'm in a field like in the video, I choose tighter lenses to get nicer bokeh. But for many situations, a 35mm with large openings will always be my first to consider. My very favorite.
@@kikipratama1 Hi Rizky, I don't know if you are a pro or a beginner like me but maybe you could give me a little advice. I am about to get my very first camera which is the Canon EOS 80D with the kit lens (18-135mm). My question is though: Is it also good enough for portrait shots with cool bokeh in the background or should I get an additional objective like the Canon 50mm 1.8 for 100 bucks? It would be very nice of you of you could help me out on these matters.
Thanks in advance!
O.G.H yes 50mm 1.8 is the best for your bucks ! You wouldn’t regret it
@@O.G.H. Hi there, 80D is a great all-rounder cameras whether you shoot portraits, sports, and some video. That 50mm 1.8 is everybody's first prime and it's great.
Keep in mind that that the bokeh won't be as soft as shown in the video or against a big sensor camera like (6D, 5D, 1D, R, etc.) since you have to step back further and lose your blur.
There can be a lot to discuss but if you love JUST portraits and less video, perhaps the old 6D plus that 50/1.8 might wow you more, and you can forget the kit lens for a while since the 50mm will be more versatile on a full sensor.
This is honestly the best focal length example video I’ve seen this far!
Thank youuuuu 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much!
Thanks for going SO in depth about the strengths and weaknesses of each focal length at their various distances. These kinds of videos are super helpful and even though I’ve watched many of them I still learned some great intricacies from this one!
Honestly this is the best comparison video I’ve seen so far! Exactly what I was looking for, thank you!
I'm now addicted to your channel. I just love your videos
I've seen several focal-length demonstrations before, yet this one, while expanding the range, remains practical, while the gallery views enable simple, immediate comparison and insight.
Have been watching your videos for a while now, and this is fantastic. Thanks so much for your content. You’re clearly passionate and fiercely knowledgeable about what you do.
fantastic! this video was truly helpful! thanks for putting in all the effort! the side by side comparisons of fullbody, halfbody and closeup is exactly what a lot of people like me are looking for
After watching a lot of your videos a decided to buy a 16-35mm 2.8 and a 85mm 1.8 to work with my sony A7III. I have to say I don't really need any more lenses for the kind of (travel, friends, family, scapes) non professional photography I usually do.
This is an excellent comparison for people to decide. Thank you!
Saludos desde Chile!
Thanks for sharing !! you did great and the model was working it ! lol she def knew what she was doing.. great video !
Thank you Julia. I watch lots of RUclips photography videos, and I have to say that is the best lens comparison video I have seen. Straightforward and to the point demonstration of the results and what to expect from each set up. Splendid!
Thank you :D
Such a great video - it's so helpful to see direct comparisons of these prime lenses. My favourite is definitely the 85mm but I love to use the 35mm or 50mm as an all-rounder lens when I'm on roadtrips with my friends.
this video is really helpful! my fav lens is the 50mm but I want to get a 35mm for street photography.
what a perfectly done job. My favorite are 50mm and 135mm.
Fantastic video! Thanks Julia for sharing especially since I am such a newbie when it comes to understanding which lens is best for what I want to accomplish. Superb!
This is SO HELPFUL! It makes me think about what I'm really missing in my selection of lenses for portraits. I was thinking about adding an 85mm (I shoot with my 50mm all the time), but now considering the 135mm. Thank you!
The way you say "Hey everyone" melts my heart every time omg. I keep listening to that :(
SiMP
All you need is an 85mm it's such an amazing Portrait Lens
The comment below yours states the 35 is best. One of you is wrong!
Another awesome video, Love your work! My current Prime line up is the 35mm 1.4 ii, 50mm 1.2, 85mm 1.4, 100mm 2.8, and the 135 2.0 and I love them all. Really hard to pick one because each one has its own style and use on a photo shoot. If I had to pick, thinking back on my vacations and the kit I bring along, it would be the 35mm and the 85mm, as well as the often forgot about gem, the 24-105mm f4 ii.
Thanks for taking the time to make the video! This was a fresh look at all the different focal lengths, I'm currently debating on a 135mm sigma or Rokinon.
I just got the 35f1.4 (on Sony) and I love it. Particularly for environmental portraits that contain some context. Absolutely love it. We also have the 85f1.8 and as you say it’s amazing as well.
On the A7III with Super 35 they will cover the 50 and 135 roughly as well so we’re good!
Jetlag for Two just remember in Super 35 mode the quality of the picture drops quite a bit
So in other words, you like the 85mm lens best for a full frame camera, which means the "nifty 50" would probably be the closest match on an APS-C camera.
no, the 50mm on an apsc isnt even near the 85mm on a full frame in terms of bokeh
@@martinfont4577 But we're not talking about bokeh, we're talking about the distortion. Besides, the equivalent 2.8 is as low as I usually go with my 85 1.4 anyway, there simply isn't enough in focus in 1.4.
Martín Font I shoot almost exclusively on a 50mm lens on a aps-c sensor it absolutely crushes the background and bokeh is phenomenal. If you want to check out some shots my insta is holladayphotographyinsta
The distortion does not change, 50mm has distortion of 50mm always, which changes in the APSC is only framing: with 50mm in APSC you have the frame of the 85mm, but with the same distortion of the 50mm
@@IRMProductions Distortion is caused by how close the lens is to the subject, not necessarily it's focal length
This is one of the best photography videos I've ever seen. Thank you for doing this.
Luv this video..... so well done. You got me thinking of getting that 135mm lens. I already have that amazing 50mm sold that 24mm a while now. Thanks for this informative video.
The 105 of my fav lens but would love to get my hands on a 200 f2
I just discovered your channel and I really like it! You are one of the few female photographers on youtube and that's great to see some more diversity! Personally my favourite prime lens would be the 35mm (APS-C). It's the lens I'm taking with me anywhere I go when I can't take more lenses with me. It's a really versatile lens. I love it!
You're saying this maybe because 35mm turns into 52mm in APS-C?
@@edknight9153 yes, indeed ^^
Such a great and useful video. I love your insights. You are becoming quickly one of my favourite channels. Great Job : )
Love this video - I am a photographer, still learning and have found this struggle of wondering which lens to use for diff shoots. This sheds some light on that subj. Thanks!!
Awesome vid and quite timely - I had been debating adding a 24 F/1.4 prime to my kit. This vid confirmed it’s a bad idea for my photographic style
Learned something about my 20mm and the distortion. Gonna work with 35mm more often to get eye for the shots.
A good model like her that knows how to move without direction makes it so much easier.
I've just bought some of your presets. I am overwhelmed by the high quality! These are the first presets that really work out. Thank you so much!
Your videos are really amazing, too. I learn so much within a couple of minutes.
Ahh thank you that makes me so happy to hear!! 💛
Thank you so much for doing this video. It’s so helpful to all photographers and all levels.
This is probably my favorite video so far. Soooo helpful! I’ve been trying to decide on my next prime. I love my 35 and have really been leaning towards an 85. This sealed the deal. Thank you💗
Thank you so much!! The 35 and 85 are such a great combination, love those 2 together 😊
Nice pictures! All pictures are raw and unedited but have vignette effect at 4 corners. Is this a normal feature for the 5 lenses?
I seriously want to thank you so much for such a straightforward comparison showing the differences between all these lenses.
I love love these kinds of videos. The 85 is my absolute favorite for close up photography. Thanks Julia! 💗
Thank you so much! The 85 is also my favourite for closeups, the 135 is nice but it's a little too much background separation for my liking.
135mm by far👌🏼
Even though it’s not that versatile, if you want a beautiful depth of field then it’s such a nice lens to work with
Also do a review on the EOS R!!!
But only if you have the room and space.
My 85mm on crop is around 130mm, but you do feel like you are really far away from your subject. The results are really great.
Awesome video!!!! ..
Maybe I'll buy either 35 or 50mm as it fits the budget....
Will you do a video on how to take stunning portraits with kit lens of aperture f/3.5(not below than that like f/2.8)....
I'd go with the 50
Thanks so much and yes definitely! I'm working on creating the kit lens video/photoshoot right now actually 😄
Thank you for another great and informative video Julia!
Great video, I really appreciate your comparison of so many different focal length lenses. I am a newbie to photography but am trying to figure out which primes I need to add to my kit.
New subscriber from South Africa 🇿🇦✌ great content 💯
Thank you 💛
24 and 85 mm are the perfect combination
50 85 and 105
@@robstyles2675 goodbye landscape.
@@staLkerhu i never shoot landscapes i shoot ppl so this would be a good for that im rarely shoot people at 24mm or anything under 35mm
Really helpful video review and comparison here. Thanks for putting this all together
She is an amazing model; switching and holding poses to each click! Soooo professional and talented!! Both of you!
What a fantastic video Julia! Very helpful and easy to understand.
Although it's pretty clear you love the 85 😂
Thank you for your amazing content! ❤️
Thank you so much! Haha honestly the 85 really impressed me getting to compare it like this with all my other lenses. It's still not exactly my style, but it's an amazing lens and I want to use it a little more often!
Great video :)
I loveeeee your videos compared to others so much because you make it so simple to understand the differences and being able to see you take the pictures and how close/far you are to the model makes it 1000% easier to understand the comparisons ❤️🥰
Ahh thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
Great tutorial. Besides my zooms, I felt complete adding my 35mm to my 50 & 85 primes. A trinity! And for the reasons you mentioned.
35mm is my favorite focal length hands down
3:41 I have one doubt, how do you fit these vertical photos on instagram without white borders? as there is less space in left and right hand sides!!!!
unfortunately i don't think you can. unless you take a wider shot and crop it in. But then you lose the quality and the look of the image. Thats the downside to instagram.
My favorite photographer on RUclips 😍....I rewatch all the time. I got the 85mm cuz of you and now I just purchased the 135. Your videos are so informative and have helped me improve so much.
There is no one I love more in the world than you, Julia. Thank you for your services. I wish the world knew about you.
The photographer is just as beautiful as the model 😍
Model is so skinny, not good
hahaha stop joking men, the only beautiful one is Julia !!
nope the photographer is way more beautiful
@@Ynotnow9900 The model has a perfect body!
wow man!!! Hundreds like for photographer... Sinly beautiful
i prefer 50 mm cause I have only a 50 mm..thanks julia

how rupees did you buy 50mm
@@emmanuelmaganga1520 32000 rs. its the cheapest lens , not compromising quality
Great video, Julia. Excellent demonstration. Just what I needed to know:)
Thanks a lot, just what I needed !! I'm more of a telephoto shooter and your samples totally validate my choice of the 85mm. Your images are gorgeous, as always, thanks for your channel, I've been watching for a while, but just subscribed :)
85 and 135 were my favs
Omg same!!!! 😍😍😍
I've been looking at 135mm lenses lately and this has just made me want one more
Thank you Julia! I’ve been waiting for someone to make this video for a long time. It’s the 50mm for me because it’s the closest to replicate what my eyes see. I love being able to reproduce the vision I see before I put my eye to the viewfinder.
Absolutely amazing! I was always curious about..well..exactly this! Thank you!
I'm gonna go with the 50 mm if I were to buy my first ever lens. THAT'S A REAL WINNER FOR ME, to have a prime lens that's that good already. BUT 85mm IS ALSO A MONSTER.
Yea I'm thinking an 85 is on my list as well.
on crop sensor 50 mm is best
For a crop sensor, my favorite lens is 17-55 f/2.8
Google UserX sigma 18-35mm f/1,8 the Best
@@user-dq5ij5sw2p No. Not enough reach. 17-55 on 1.6 crop factor is the same as 27-88 mm. Mine is great for indoor (wide enough) and for portraiture (close to 85mm).
This was really useful and illustrative. Thanks for taking the time to make and share it.
Seeing these three shooting styles (same distance, full length, close up) with each of these five lenses is very informative. Thanks for saving us all the trouble of having lenses and location and model.
50mm is a portrait beast for its price
I'm using 50mm on Sony A7iii for all my portrait work
APS-C crop mode converts it to 80mm lens of I need it and I love it 👍🏻
wrong, its a 50mm cropped, not a 80mm
Martín Font it is an effective focal distance of 80mm
Given that the image is gonna end up on someone's 1080px wide phone, no one cares if it's cropped
@@MaxRovensky True, but there is a point where it is just a cropped 50mm. If you are shooting in a cropped mode on your full frame you are effectively only using 60% of your sensor... which is worse than just shooting on a regular APS-C camera haha
Hi Julia! At 02:21 how do you get the entire model's features super sharp even with a shallow DOF? Is it just because of how far you are from the model? I always have these problems when the model starts moving around. :( Also thanks to your videos I finally decided to go for the Canon 5D Mark IV next year and the 35mm as my 1st full-frame! :D
YESSS I hope someone answers this. I’ve been really struggling to get sharpness all the way through at 1.6-1.4!
With a 24 and 35 you have a little more leeway with what's in focus at a shallow dof because it's a wider angle lens, it also has to do with the way I'm shooting, I try to shoot for hip height to the model as her head and feet will be at a very similar distance away from my lens leading to everything being in focus. If I were to shoot on the 35 at 1.4 and I was standing up straight and pointing the camera down, her head and torso would be sharp but it would start getting out of focus closer towards her feet because of the angle of my lens/camera. Hope that helps!
@@juliatrotti when you say hip height... your hip height as the photographer or the models? This helped so much and a lot! Ty for always taking the time in answering our questions! Super ty! Oh so that's why it's a different approach on each lens.
So helpful to see this and have them compared! That 85 has beautiful bokeh and compression, find I preferred that one if I had to go with one, except when it comes to the midlength landscape. Thank you Julia!! Great video!!
Great video again julia,i have a canon 85 1.4 and im in love with it,its just amazing.
Was it the same aperture (f/2 or f/2.8) or did you shoot wide open for each lens? Thanks for the video.
I shot at f2 with all the lenses, so the 135mm is the only one that was wide open, but I wanted them all to be shot at the same aperture :)
The 135 is the standout lens here.
The 85 is also great but not as good as the 135.
I agree. I own a 35mm 1.4 and 85mm 1.8. I was leaning toward a 50mm next because sometimes I feel like I have to step in too close with the 35 or back up too far with the 85 but the image quality of the 135mm lens is making me rethink everything even though you have to shoot from so far back lol
@@stevenquintanilla9795 Haha. We're in a similar situation. I also have the 35 and 85 and for the first time I don't think I need a 50mm. I'm leaning towards the 135 as my next lens. :)
Great video again! I really like your relax way of explaining things.
For my own purposes I use the:
- 24mm for environmental shots
- 35mm for the instagram shots (lol)
- 50mm for more versatile shots (you can do pretty much anything with it)
- 85mm and 135mm for portraits only. Very beautiful but also very limited.
But now I am old and lazy and just use zoom lenses haha! keep it coming!
Great video.
I'm glad you popped up on my "suggested" list.
I've been trying to figure out which lens to get next, for my m50. With the speed booster, I should get similar focal lengths.
Gonna look for a budget 85mm.
Please do it with crop frame... always helpful
Love❤️
Practically the Sigma 56mm f1.4 (almost equivalent to full frame 85mm here) will be your best bet talking about Sony Alpha a6xxx as an example for the price and performance.
With the APSC crop factor, you'd be fairly safe to think of the lenses looking like the next longer focal length. (Focal length) x 1.5 = (APCS cropped equivalent). ie: 24=36, 35=52.5, 50=75, etc. Slightly over simplified but a good starting point on how to think of it.
I've never commented "early squad" anywhere.
Because I've never been part of it.
EARLY SQUAD!
To the no natives: What does that mean?
Really love your content and it's always helpful.
This was such a detailed video, Thank you! My first ever prime lens was the Nikon Nifty 50 and I loved it because I'm a blogger and it allowed me get amazing full length body shots and portraits. I then got the 35mm to be able to capture better group pictures but I didn't really love it. I got the canon m50 in 2018 and got the 22mm lens but find that I can't really get the sort of bokeh I desire. From this video, the 85mm is my absolute favourite! Your presets are Amazing!
Thank you so much and I'm glad it was helpful!
I believe 24mm and 35mm is not perfect for portrait shoot,it's better for street photography/landscape photography and astro photography...
I disagree, you need wider lenses for environment portraits and especially when getting full body shots indoors - when you don't have much space. The 24mm might be too wide, but I think the 35mm is just enough.
The colours of raw photos are so much better than lightroom presets.
Hi Julia ! Thanks for all
Your videos I have learned so much from you! I also just recently purchased my canon 35mm and I love it!!!
Thanks Julia,
I was so impressed and appreciative of your doing this test I immediately subscribed. Top Drawer!
Thank you so much!
How about 24-70/2.8&85 1.4
2.8 vs 1.4 is full 2 stops difference + IQ is not on par between modern 85 and any 24-70. 24-70 is better option only in the situations in which there is no room to use longer FL - studio for example or somebody looks for wide shot. There is still better to use prime for the available BG separation or to get better IQ.
This probably has nothing to do with photography but you are totally gorgeous :)
Hi Julia To start I love your video's helped me a lot, I have a Canon 500d & use to use servo mode mostly, since taking your advice of using one shot huge improvement, on image quality, servo a bit slow on the 500d models, so thank you, primes, I have one a Helios 44-2, 58mm /F2 my fun lens they call it the bokeh monster, which it is, I've had from my SLR days, my other lenses are canon 70/300mm IS 5.6 USM & canon 18/55 usm.

Great comparisons! I do a different sort of photography, adventure/off-road/vehicle photography. I've used the 35mm Sigma Art for E Mount & Sony FE 85mm on the a7iii & a7ii, respectively. I fell in love with the 35mm. It gave me the ability for some close detail shots & allowed me to use the room I'm given on trails in the mountains. The 85mm gives great results as well, but the length makes it difficult to work with in my case.
The model should smile a bit more :) She is beautiful, but this sleepy/drunk look does not fit her perfectly.
yea
Such a good and clear video about the different lenses. Thank you!
That was a wonderful video presentation. It cleared up a lot of my questions that I had in reference to which lens to use, and what effect each lens would produce.
Thank you so much. 😊
Such a awesome video... I love this comparison with Prime lenses... Keep it up...!!!
