This is one of the best videos about lens out there. Actual practical creative use comparisons as opposed to showing us a brick wall and talking about numbers.
Thanks so much!
135 = headshots
85 = waist-up portraits
50 = knee-up portraits
35 = full body
24 = group shots
I feel like there is 35-50mm overlap, a bit
What this actually shows me is that 1) Your'e an amazign photographer 2) it doesn't really matter what lens you're using, if you know what you're doing. Btw, that Black & white shot with the 135mm was breathtaking...
Thanks dude!
I have always been struggling between the 85 and the 50 on my second body, your simple exercise has made my decision. 50mm for indoor, 85mm for outdoor. No idea why I didn't see that before.
Great information and sample shots. It's shocking that you only have 1K+ subscribers. Keep the great content and you're bound to have many more before you know it.
Thanks dude! I’m literally taking first baby steps here on RUclips - started in mid Jan this year. Also - love your channel, I’m into drawing but so far I use my skills only for those thumbnails 😂
Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Holy cow dude, photographers dream about taking shots this beautiful. Your style and editing is just so inspiring.
I keep coming back to this video. It is really well done, pleasantly explained and very well presented.
It deserves 6-digit views.
You are giving me the answers i am searching for a really long time. Plus its kinda nice to hear you speaking. Thank you really much!
Absolutely phenomenal video… I’m still learning and lord this has helped so much compared to the usual. Not only does it go over the focal lengths and their characteristics, but it’s used in a practical setting… just wow 🎉
Good methodology and presentation! I liked that you mentioned inside versus outside and when people can possible get in the way.
Super helpful. 35 & 50, great shout, I was beginning to forget about the all important 50 until now! always thought these would be too close. Thank you
You did well to illustrate the effects of different focal lengths under similar settings. Thank you for the good work!
Glad it was helpful!
I am that photographer that just loves compression and higher focal lengths. I shot a whole wedding using the sigma 105 f1.4 art lens. But normally I use the 85 and 50mm for all weddings. I just did a small wedding and it was in a little pavilion and all I could use was a 50 mm and a 35 mm. It took me right out of my comfort zone and once you start going so wide you lose that nice beautiful Bokeh for wider photos. I was all excited to use my new 135 mm F 1.8 GM but not at this little venue. I did get to use it for the bride & groom poses. If I can I try to use 85mm for everything, group photos and I just love how it looks
With the amazing 24 1.4 out, and the newly launched 35 1.4 and 50 1.2, this is exactly the kind of video I’ve been searching RUclips for. You just gain a new subscriber! Keep up the great content!! Cheers!
Glad I could help!
new to sony so looking at YT vids for lens options and you popped up. thank you for the effort and the sharing. wonderful demo of the power of different focal lengths. impressive. BIG thumbs up.
I'm a commercial photographer and I have to say I love your YT channel! Great tips on the Sony platform and, yes, I even learned a few things. Well done and Thank You.
Dave
WOW! your pictures gave me that wow-effect I haven't had for a long time when looking at pictures. Great shots, lovely editing
wonderful video!..Me personally I like the 35mm and 85mm combo..for events I shoot. keep up the good work!..
lovely combo!
Great video, really helpful that you provided a set of images from each focal length, thank you!
I LOVE the photos you presented in this video. LOVE it!!!
Focal Length and Composition MASTER CLASS!. Very SUPERB. THANKS a LOT. It was like watching a movie. I viewed this video at midnight. 🙏🏼
Thanks so much my friend!! I’m really glad you enjoyed this one!!
Thank you dude! Super helpful, and your images are really really nice!
Great input and in depth analysis, much appreciated my dear. Amazing portraits, i really liked them and i can easily feel the vibe. All your edits are unified in terms of contrast and color pallet. Perfect
If i happen to visit your country land i will definitely order a shoot from you, seriously. Subbed to your channel
Thanks so much, glad you liked it! And yeah - come to Poland!
The best video on the topic I have seen so far! Thank you :)
Wow, thank you!
This is so so helpful! Thank you for making this!
I’m so happy to hear that!
Love the video! Have been working on switching from the zooms to just primes. Since I carry 2 x R4s, I try the crop mode to have 2 focal lengths per prime. Thanks for your insights! More power to you!
Thank you my friend!
Superb review, one of the best demonstrations of the GM's I've seen. Subscribed.
Thanks for the sub! Glad you enjoyed it!
damn..you have me convinced for shooting a 35 and 50 combo - awesome work and thanks!
great combo :)
Awesome! Much needed with all the GMs out there and very nice photos
glad you liked it!!
Thank you Magic! I love 35 and 50 but I wasn’t sure that this would be a good combo, and you explained so well! 35/50 GM FTW!
35 and 50 for the win!! :) Glad you liked the video!
@@MagicWeddingPhotographer loving your Chanel! Thank you!
its 2024 now and youre still helping a lot of people, specially new/amateur photographers or some like me that is starting photography from hobby now a side hustle and hopefully a pro, but one thing i want to mention R.I.P. Replay button from 2:35- 2:37 this 5 seconds made me now your number 1 fan and subscriber. thank you again for all your videos. it is very very helpful for us beginners
Super helpful comparisons! Thank you.!
Wonderful content. Love these focal length comparison
Thanks dude! And thanks for comment on my IG profile!
Thanks for sharing. I would love to see a comparison, showing or documenting the distance differences needed between photographer and subject for some typical shots. ie. full length body, close-up head and shoulders at 35, 50, 80, 135.
This is an excellent comparison and fantastic shots.
Thanks Tyler! Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the video.
I started shooting weddings back in the late 1960s. At that time, I shot complete weddings with only a normal lens (50mm equivalent) on a medium format film camera.
Later, I shot weddings with a normal lens (50mm equivalent), a wide-angle lens (28mm equivalent), and a telephoto lens (135mm equivalent) on a medium format film camera.
Today, I shoot weddings with a slightly wide lens (35mm equivalent), a wide-angle lens (21 or 24mm equivalent), a slight telephoto lens (85 or 90mm equivalent), and a telephoto lens (150mm equivalent) on a digital camera.
I also have two or three zooms in my wedding backup kit.
Great photo examples.. thank you
Amazing video. I love the comparisons.
Thanks Brandon!
This was SUCH a helpful video … thank you so much ❤
Thanks very informative. The colors of photos 🔥🔥🔥
My pleasure!
great video, just bought the 135mm 1.8 and the 50mm 1.2, now waiting for the A1
Thanks! Good choice!
Great advice. Great video!
Fantastic demo!
Excellent representation of the amazing different sony lenses.. keep it up embassodor 👍
Thanks, will do!
Thanks for the sharing! very insightful!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
I have 24 50 and 105 primes and 70 200 and I was thinking of using the 50 and 24 for a wedding coming up
Bardzo fajny materiał. I przede wszystkim piękna sesja 😍💪👏
Dzieki wpuszku, sesja wyszła niczego sobie 🕺🏻
Thank you sir your video is very informative ive learned a lot today.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the knowledge, now I know when to use my 35 and 85 in a wedding situation 😄
hello from Puerto Rico!! love your content, it very helpful.
Awesome! Thank you!
Really nice comparison Magic! As I shot Sigmas, I usually pair 20&85 or 35&105. I think one day (I hope) I will switch to GM's so I think I would go for 35&85. Again, thanks for the great guide and keep posting!
Ah sweet combos you have! Thanks for kind words, appreciate it!
This is a very good video - thanks for posting. Just subscribed.
Thanks for the sub! Glad you liked it!
beautiful photos man!, you make every lens look amazing here,
I feel like 24mm and 50mm is a perfect combo for a wedding day, if it's candid photos, but i would swap the 24 for 35mm, and 50 for 85mm if it's posed,
24mm allows you to get so much in the frame wich can be nice in a lot of situations
Thanks dude! Totally agree wit 24-35-50-85 quad-combo :)
Hello Maciej,
Thank you for this video!
I am new to photography and videography.
As a social dancer myself I am interested in event photography.
I already have a full frame 35mm f/1.8
After watching a few of your videos my next lenses will probably be
a 24mm f/1.8 and later the 50mm f/1.8
With a combo of 24-35-50 you can cover 95% of your needs.
This is such a fantastic video, thank you.. I've been using an 85 on one camera and a zoom 35 - 70 on the other.. I've wanted to upgrade the zoom and think I'll either go for a 35 or nifty 50.. thanks again
I'm using 35mm gm and sigma 85dg dn and i love it. Thank of your vedio.
Super helpful. I currently have the 24 and 35 1.4 GMs because they're just my favorites. Debating between 50 and 85 for the next lens. 85 would probably make the most sense but I do find its uses kinda limited, and it also feels way less intimate than the others. Almost an outsider's perspective. Leaning toward the 50 for this reason for the times when I want to take full body portraits. I also feel like full frame 1.4 lenses are way more versatile than the same focal length at f2, 2.8, etc, so the rules of thumb don't always apply.
There's no way you have only 2.8k subscribers. I just love listening to you speak!
Thanks so much! That’s just the beginning!
Great information. I use my 135mm a ton. More than all my others. I tried the 50 but wasn’t too happy with it. I will definitely try the 35mm and now I want the 85. I tend to use my tamron 17-28 f2.8 more than the 50. I’m getting rid of the 50!
Nice running caps by the way, what brand??
Really great explanation of differences between the various primes and helped me a ton in making a decision for myself. Can you tell if those slight distortions on 35mm are correctable in post processing or not? Does lightroom have a profile for it? Or should we be using in-camera-lens-correction
perfect and beautiful content/photos. instant subbed
Thank you so much!
Your a legend! Listening to every word your say. YES this video was VERY helpful, I feel I can look at the 35mm as my general wide lens, but now I see the use of the 50mm over the 85mm, but I think I would like to have both in my bag, because you know you dont want to be close in some cases maybe the bridge is not as approachable or something, so that 85mm will have it's use, also in bigger spaces. But I could see in a tight space going between the 35 and 50mm because I would natrally have to be closer.. Very interesting, great comparisons. What amazing oranges you get from those flowers, I assume they are all "fake flowers" lol as I have never seen anything like that, but damn they look so awesome, that is my new favourite colour!
Magical shots🤩
Master of master! Great Magic:D
🙌🏻🔮
Great work as always, Magic Man!! My 35 GM arrived today. Just an awesome lens. And I think it may replace my 24 GM and I’ll go 35/85GM as you suggest! Keep up the great work
Thanks dude! Omg, so jealous of your 35GM, I have to return the piece I had to Sony and haven’t ordered mine yet 😭! 35+85 it’s a great combo!
@@MagicWeddingPhotographer it’s amazing! I sometimes found the 24 too wide, but 55 too tight. 35 seems just perfect to me. Just wish I had your mad photography skills! Are you going to be offering presets? Really love the tones in this shoot
Yup, sounds like you’re 35 and 85 guy haha! I’ve been planning to make my presets forever and have been working on it for a while already - hopefully they’ll be available soon 🙌🏻
learned so much! liked and subscribed!
Awesome! glad you enjoyed the video!
Great video, huge help! I use 35, 85 but now considering a 50 1.4 sigma.
Haha I kinda knew you guys gonna love those 50mm shots! Make sure you check my 50GM review to see full set shot with 50mm focal length: ruclips.net/video/oCjL_yRlggM/видео.html
Wonderful information! Thanks You.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching :)
It’s amazing how fast your channel has grown. I remember watching this thinking why doesn’t this guy have more subscribers
Awww thanks so much! Thanks for the comment, hope you enjoy the content!
Really great video! Subscribed
The OCD is so real! The urge to get the lines straight if not in real time then in the post😄... Great Vid brother!
Love your videos thanks for the information I will love to see a editing tutorial from you :) do you use Lightroom for your editing? Thanks again
Hey Dude! Thanks so much! I do use Lightroom only and I use very simple editing with one preset. I do have a masterclass video on how I edit in my preset store if you want to check this out: store.magicweddingphotographer.com
Oooohhhh great job! I like your style.
AH! thank you!!
interesting video. i have my first civil weeding shoot on friday. in my Back 2 aps-c cameras and 3 lenses: 24mm, 75mm, and 112,5mm (already calculated 1.5 crop).
This video was absolutely amazing. Thank you so much!!! New subscriber here.
Thanks for subbing!
This picture set is crazy good! Did you use flash on any of these or all natural light? Is this a real couple or models for a shoot?
Keep up the good work! 👍
Thanks, will do!
You should have called this the “definitive guide to sony primes”. amazing vid, super helpful.
8:52 in shots like this with the 50mm, if you take the time to straighten/level the walls in the background, it'll look like a fine art photo.
Love your videos and really enjoyed this one!!!! You said shooting with 50 1.4 but photos were labeled 1.2? Was this the new lens??
Great catch! So all the portraits I showed when talking about the 50mm were shot with Zeiss 50/1.4, but the one photo used for the same scene with all lenses were shot with 50GM :) Glad you enjoyed this video!
Really helpfull🎉🎉🎉
the 135 is more of a specialty use portrait/headshot lens, so make sure that's exactly what you're buying it for.
because that's basically all you can do with it (beautiful outdoor portraits).
wow... gold content here!! Thanks!!
Glad you enjoyed it! More to come!
Really cool video! Enjoyed it a lot. What's the sharpest lens in this video? In your opinion?
Looking forward to the next video.
135 gm
Amazing video!
For fuji, they have 16mm (24 mm FF), 23mm (35m FF), 35mm (53 mm FF), 56mm (85 mm FF) and 90mm (135 mm FF). So yeah, principles you've mentioned in this video are applicable for Fuji, or sony and canon aspc system for that matter. Just saying...
excellent. Thanks!
thank for knowing about of different of lens Can sony 14mm f1.8 use in prewedding?
Here a friend from Spain learning English just by following you. You are the RUclipsr that I need in my life!! Do you think I will be able to understand your preset without knowing English? At the moment with 35 GM and 85 with the Sony A7 IV, for the third lens in wedding reporting, 24 or 50? thanks a lot!!
Brilliant thank you so much.
Great video ... your work is awesome ... congrats! Just a quick question ... when shooting 24 or 35 ... do you correct ´distortion control´ in LR? Greetings from Brazil - Thanks :)
Thanks so much dude! I keep it off in LR! :)
mind blowing shot boss
Great review.
Congrats on monetization! Haha your channel is excellent!
Haha thanks dude! Keep that google cash 💰 flowing !!
Very nice!
great video thanks!
Hi Magic, I like the look of the 35mm and 50mm. Would the Sony 24-70 2.8 GMII achieve the same result as both of those lenses or would they look different at those focal lengths. Thanks
very helpful
Great video. Thanks.
Thanks so much!
