Possibly the best straight to the point, top of the line tutorial. I have a wedding gown commercial shoot and was contemplating sticking with my 50mm or renting a 35mm lens in order to capture the whole grace of the gown without cutting anything out.
I got the most information from this video. I've checked several and FINALLY it's put out in a sensible and visual way that truly demonstrates these two lenses. Thank you!!
Definitely love 24mm for landscapes, and love 35mm for portraits. I would own multiple copies of each focal length if that's all I shot! Plus timelapse too, nothing beats a sharp 24 1.4 for timelapse work...
The 35mm focal length on a full-frame camera is my favorite for general subjects. When I need something wider, I have paired it with a 20mm, 21mm, or 24mm. My personal favorite pairing is the 35mm f/1.4 with the 21mm f/1.4 on my Leica M6 and M10 rangefinders.
I've been shooting with a 24 and 35 for years now. I have a 15 and 20 but I only use them for interior work. It's great having it explained why I possibly might be doing this tho. I never found the 85 thing interesting enough. Video also those two lenses work well.
I absolutely love my 35, 1.4 🙌🏽📷🔥 But have been eyeing a 24, 1.4 lol 🤔 Even tho I already have a 16-35, 2.8 for landscape and environmental portraits. I know it covers these ranges but I absolutely love that prime look 🤤
theFATEfactory Omg this is exactly the same situation I’m in!! Thinking of trading either my 35 1.4 or 16-35 2.8 for my friend’s 24 1.4 for a few weeks, just to see how i like it! 😆
hello, and what is your feeling now ? i hesitate between 35mm and 24mm. 35mm seems to cover more situations with less distorsions. i already used a 35mm 1.8 with my old d300 DX (so like a 50mm on FX) and it was gorgeous.
A couple of years late in commenting, but... I began shooting way back in earlier film days (1970's). f1.4 wide angles were not yet available, with the 50/1.4 being the only lens available as a 1.4. And the 1.4's in the 1970's and '80's were really awful wide open. The 1.4 served only for easier focusing. You still had to stop down a bit for better sharpness. Also, back in the day, the 28mm wide angle lens was the top choice wide angle, and usually the first wide angle that a photographer would purchase. In a sense, it is a single compromise between the 35 & 24. However, today the 28 seems to have lost its popularity. The 35 was always simply considered a "wide" normal lens.
Thank you for this video! Too many people these days think you can only shoot portraits with telephoto lenses, and the result is too often voyeur like isolated photos that lack any kind of context. They claim wide angle lenses are not flattering to the subjects, but as you have shown the result can be extremely flattering and interesting. As long as you know what you are doing and don't put the lens right on the subject's nose for a headshot wide angle lenses can be amazing portrait lenses with a great presense. Personals the 35 mm is my favorite focal length.
Nice. I especially like the creative veil work. I don't have a 24, but do have a good 20 and of course a fine 35....which pairs nicely with my battered old D700.
I absolutely love the cinematic look of the prime 24mm. It's just so close to 35 that I haven't added it to my workflow.... Maybe I should change that. 🤔
I get the 24mm STM for video, yet I have not gotten the oportunity to use it for a serious video, but i have been using it in many photoshoots and Im kind of impresive. I may consider it an all around prime lens, so versatile like a zoom lens, but at just a single focal lenght. The 24mm cut off to looks like a 38mm seems like a sweet spot. It is a wide angle lens, it keeps that separation from background, the little exagerated perspective, but the barrel distortion is nicely controled due to the 1.6x cut. Is distored, but in fullframe could be a lot more as it could be a lot more wider, but its conversion makes somehow tight enough to shoot once you go closer, but also focus nicely near so you hace a pseudo macro lens. This tiny lens does so many things, sure, it lacks of any way of specialized capabilities, but it shows your point of how well is a 24mm lens lml
2:23 is a good reason to get 24 f/1.4. What's the lowest shutter speed used to get a night shots that would have well lit up background along with subject on foreground? I usually set Shutter speed at 1/15, but I use Image stabilized lens. Would image still be sharp when taken with 24mm f/1.4, handheld? Or smudge is inevitable? 3:33 image is not sharp. There is background separation and contrast, but image is not sharp. 3:56 Did you use the flash or light? At this dusk time I'm very much doubt that people on foreground would be illuminated with natural light considering that sunset is behind.
super tuto. many people promote 85..200mm for portraits without distorsion of face. i dared to use 50mm on my d750, never below. how do you avoid distorsion of faces ? you mention you place subject at center but lot of your examples have people offset to the left or right, not centered at all. i have read that 24mm 1.2, 1.4 is nice for cityscape at night to grab the colored lights of scenes.
I enjoyed the video very much as I too love these two lenses. One thing though, can you site the mike out of your face? I don't know about others but I find it in the way and automatically keep moving my head. Again thanks for the video, loved the pano with the bright door silhouette.
For sharpness and better contrast would you get sigma art 24mm or nikkor 24mm 1.8 g for a Nikon d-750. I am also starting night photography of the milky way.
Amazing video. Do you think similar results can now be achieved with the new RF28-70 f2.0? I noticed you shot at 2.0 in several cases on those primes. I had the EF 24 1.4 and lived it but I just needed the money to replace all my EF lenses by RF ones…
Very interesting. Here I was thinking that 85mm was too short, and that maybe I need a 70-200, but then you show we don't really need extreme focal lengths for extreme background blurs to make great pictures.
Jason Lomeda, I’ve never understood the 70mm end of those zooms. It’s a useless focal length, IMO. 24-85 makes more sense, but those are always poorer kit lens quality.
Why i love 24mm On Sony A7RIII = 24mm 1.4 full frame is 42 megapixels and in crop mode it becomes super 35mm but at 20 megapixels. So that’s 2 focal length in one lens. 😎😎 Technically you wont need to buy 35mm lens if you got 24mm.
@Pye Jirsa - So when you shoot at f1.4, and your focus point being the subject's eyes, dont the other parts of the subject go blurry from the centre of the focus point? Also, when shooting portraits at a distance using 24 / 35 / 50mm prime, at f1.2, f1.4, f1.8 , only their eyes seem to be in focus and not the remaining parts of their body... Could you tell me as to how that can be sorted out?
I'm a longlonglingtime photographer and Pye has ALL my sympathy and admiration (and no grudges) I dont get the sens of conviction at all one should supposedly get from the samples ( 3:20 for one minute statement ) as to the low-light advantage when f2 or f2.8 would still alow these photos to be done from the shutterspeed point of aspect.
So if one is shooting with a crop sensor Fuji camera, to get the same field of view, 16mm and 23mm lenses should be used' correct? BTW, I enjoy your video tutorials !!!
I agree that 35mm and 24mm are my favorite wide angle focal lengths. 35mm is more interesting than 50mm and 24mm takes in enough to be interesting and noticeably wider than 35mm. The next stop for me would be 16mm which I consider to be ultra wide.
At the risk of being seen as a pedant ... given that this video is a tutorial, I have to comment on the use of the term "depth of field" at around 2:35. Depth of field refers to the region which is in reasonable focus. Shorter focal lengths increase DoF, but I don't believe this is what Pye is referring to. I believe what we are seeing here is whatever is the opposite of the "lens compression" produced by longer focal lengths. Short lenses on the other hand increase the apparent distance from the foreground to the background. Since I haven't encountered a term for this, I'm going to call it "lens expansion".
Thank you @adorama for the collab. Looking forward to next week's video!
I like that there was NO B ROLL waste of time and you got right to the point of it all.
Possibly the best straight to the point, top of the line tutorial. I have a wedding gown commercial shoot and was contemplating sticking with my 50mm or renting a 35mm lens in order to capture the whole grace of the gown without cutting anything out.
24mm F1.4 is my favorite prime lens. For me, it's the perfect mix of versatility and character.
I got the most information from this video. I've checked several and FINALLY it's put out in a sensible and visual way that truly demonstrates these two lenses. Thank you!!
My favorite focal length! 16mm f1.4 on fuji (24mmf2 on FF) 🙌🏻 Loving it for portraits! Just magical to look those shots and feel in the moment!!!
Same....yes and yes yes!
Thank you for the informative video and look forward to the series!
Definitely love 24mm for landscapes, and love 35mm for portraits. I would own multiple copies of each focal length if that's all I shot! Plus timelapse too, nothing beats a sharp 24 1.4 for timelapse work...
Love my 35mm! One of my favorite lenses of all time. Great video!
You're a really great photographer and have the best voice to teach from the whole youtube. Thank u for so much content!
Great stuff... Ty Sir for dropping knowledge...
good to see you guys here at Adorama!

I'm glad I have the 35mm. This video makes me love my 35mm even more
So many awesome compositions and images I just love your videos!
A looking forward to more of these videos from SLR Lounge on Adorama.

Amazing tips! Thank you so much. I have 24mm! I'm excited to use it for portraits now.
Wow amazing photos 😍 I've just got my SIGMA 24mm F/1.4 and I'm pretty excited for it 🔥
Awesome very usefull to us, Thanq sir
Fantastic pictures and explanation, thank you.
Mad props for your teaching skills. Very clear, very concise. 👏👏👏👏👏
I've just picked up my first 24mm 2.8 prime for super cheap. Very happy!
I absolutely love my 35, 1.4 🙌🏽📷🔥 But have been eyeing a 24, 1.4 lol 🤔 Even tho I already have a 16-35, 2.8 for landscape and environmental portraits. I know it covers these ranges but I absolutely love that prime look 🤤

Awesome tutorial👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nice to see pye in adorama.
Pye as alway good job and we always learn something from you.
Wow such a amazing fhotos!! That lens 24 mm is good for shoot models in a small studio ? 🙏❤

Nice informative video. Thanks. Greetings from Chowdry Photography, Bangalore, India
Love how you presents.
inspiring and informative video, please make more like this!!
on point... no unnecessary stuff...great video and tutorial
The 35mm is my absolute favorite. Use it on every single one of my portrait sessions
You never had a 200mm 2.0 ..imho
@@WojciechKalka for video?
I have the Sigma 24mm art lens, have yet tried it out, now I can’t wait.
I have the Sigma Art 24 f1.4 love it - my favourite lens.
I absolutely love the cinematic look of the prime 24mm. It's just so close to 35 that I haven't added it to my workflow.... Maybe I should change that. 🤔
DId not expect this collab!
More things are brewing!
I like the shot at 2:15

Awesome video!
Welcome aboard Pye.
Great content as always! 35mm for sure is a must have lens.
Hmm, & here all this time I've been using a 28.
A ton of excellent information
If you could answer it ill loved it! How about lx tz41 has 24mm does it peform like this?
Great points!
Cannot agree more!
4:56 thats a killer photo my gawd!!
Love this great video straight one
This was really great man!
Im sold with the wide lens. Thank u so much. 20 1.8g for me
one of the bst tips. how to use lenses in different ways
This motivates me more to be creative with my 35mm
when i see free pro tips, i subscribe.

how do you avoid distorsion of faces ? you mention you place subject at center but lot of your examples have people offset to the left or right, not centered at all.
i have read that 24mm 1.2, 1.4 is nice for cityscape at night to grab the colored lights of scenes.

why not. keep your EF. just decide between a zoom or a prime
very nice video
Very interesting. Here I was thinking that 85mm was too short, and that maybe I need a 70-200, but then you show we don't really need extreme focal lengths for extreme background blurs to make great pictures.
If I can only get once lens between 24 & 35 at the moment, which one do you recommend for weddings and portraits? Thanks
I've always thought that 24-70 would cover most things, now I want a 24 1.4......
Sometimes too slow ...
Get all primes mate. It'll force to you think in "lengths." Sell that 24-70 get all primes and I'll guarantee you you'll become a better photographer.
Jason Lomeda, I’ve never understood the 70mm end of those zooms. It’s a useless focal length, IMO. 24-85 makes more sense, but those are always poorer kit lens quality.
Is there a reason to get either if I already have the 24-70mm? If so, which of the two would you suggest? (can't afford both...)
Why i love 24mm On Sony A7RIII = 24mm 1.4 full frame is 42 megapixels and in crop mode it becomes super 35mm but at 20 megapixels.
So that’s 2 focal length in one lens.
😎😎 Technically you wont need to buy 35mm lens if you got 24mm.
Great Video Pye! I've just added both lens to my Wish List. Glad to see the collaboration and looking forward to the next episode in this series.
About Full Frame you talkinjg or APS-C cheaper dslr?
Very nice. Thanks
Would the 24mm and 35mm lens apply to a Canon ASP-C crop sensor with 1.6 correction or should I start with a different lens?
I love my sigma 35 1.4 but I’m getting a lot of miss focus shots ... has anyone have a opinion on the new tamron 35mm 1.4 for Nikon ?
I use the Tamron 35 1.4. It's fantastic!!!!
Your Nikon DSLR is the culprit, not the lens.
The Tamron 35mm is amazing and super sharp 💯😎👌🏾
@Pye Jirsa - So when you shoot at f1.4, and your focus point being the subject's eyes, dont the other parts of the subject go blurry from the centre of the focus point?

Great
That was awesome, thank you.
How does the Sigma 24-35 F2.0 ART compare to these primes? (I am want a 35, F1.4 but might buy the 24-35 for 550$)
What do you think about this lens sigma art 24 35 f2 or 35 1.4 art with 24 1.4 art
Great Video!
So if one is shooting with a crop sensor Fuji camera, to get the same field of view, 16mm and 23mm lenses should be used' correct? BTW, I enjoy your video tutorials !!!
Yes. But I don't believe that there are any 23mm lenses. A 24mm lens is used as a 35mm equivalent.
Excellente!!!! 👍👍👍
Just got the sigma 35mm 1.4... it's perfect for me
More please
More to come!
24mm vs 35mm Whose 1 is Bast For Wedding....????
35mm is definitely one of the best prime focal lengths in my opinion. You should consider the 20mm haha!
I agree that 35mm and 24mm are my favorite wide angle focal lengths. 35mm is more interesting than 50mm and 24mm takes in enough to be interesting and noticeably wider than 35mm. The next stop for me would be 16mm which I consider to be ultra wide.

Can someone explain what he meant buy not shooting folks in the edges?
Just as I’m shopping for a 35 1.4 II lol.
Ordered my 1.4 yesterday :D
That’s a lens you’ll never regret owning!! Have one for almost 2 years now, and it’s still my all time favourite.
For some odd reasons, your voice reminds me of Tony Northrup.
a single lens for portrait and landscape photography ,which lens is you prefer
