    For those who don't know, the above images are taken on full frame camera with 35mm and 55mm lens. For you to know how 35mm will look like on Crop(Aps-c) censor camera refer 50 mm photographs of the above video. 35mm is more or less within 52-56 mm on crop censor camera after crop factor.

    I LOVE 35mm but using it for portraits can leave me wanting to grab longer lens for compression sometimes. To me, 35mm makes you work more for portraits and consider the surroundings more. That said, your work is amazing and you got one more subscriber here :)

    I do events indoors and 35mm lens is indispensable. Not too wide but you have to know how to move with you legs. It forces you to think about your composition. I'm trying to transition into all primes now.
    Thanks for another great video tutorial. Both lenses are great but if I was starting out, I will get a 35mm first before a 50mm lens. It's just a personal preference, not the rule.

    Hey Julia
    I shoot Nikon and absolutely LOVE my 50 mm F/1.8 it is amazing for portrait photography. I have to agree with what you said, even with Nikon, the 35 mm is better for editorial style photos and struggles with close up portrait shots. I owned a 35 mm for a bit and really didn't like the results I got from it, so I ended up selling it.
    I also found the Nikon 35 mm struggled and missed focus on more shots. I rarely miss focus on my 50 mm. Right now I shoot APS-C but switching to full frame in the next couple months, so I may but a 35 mm again plus an 85 mm just to do a comparison between the 3 lenses. But I will never give up my 50 mm

    • @robertsellsatl
      @robertsellsatl 4 года назад

      If you shoot aps-c then the 50mm lens is actually a 75 for the effects of this video and your 35mm lens is actually a 50mm. This is because of the crop factor aps-c cameras have (1.5x or 1.6x if you have a Canon.)

    Love these comparison videos. I just bought a Sony a5100 and was debating which of these to go with. I've been using a 35mm f 1.8 on a Nikon D3200 for a couple years, I think I still prefer the 35mm over the 50mm, I like having more of the background in my images. And technically couldn't you just get a little closer to the subject with the 35mm to crop out more of the background for similar effect to the 50mm minus the stronger bokeh effect?

    I've been torn between the 50mm and the 35mm focal length especially for portraits but for Sony cameras getting a 35mm would be the smart choice as the aps-c mode on Sony full frame cameras can turn the 35mm into essentially a 52mm lens. You do lose megapixels from 24 to 10 on a7iia7iii but for me that's not a big deal saving 1000dollars and having to carry another lens.

    Very nice video! The conclusion is that for portraits, 85mm is the minimun focal length that can be used... The depth of field is ideal, the distortions is less. 35mm and 50mm are great options for other kinds of photography - I use 35mm lens for portraits too, but only for specific works (mainly in cases that I want the background to be not so blury...).

I would like something that would isolate the subject a little more, so that sigma 135 f/1.8 seems to be poking at me, but then again... I may want something a little more discrete like a 400mm so I can stand WAY back haha.

    35 is so versatile

    So if I want *less* distortion, I ought to go for the 50mm rather than the 35mm? How bout the 85mm? Will that focal length completely eliminate distortion on the subject's face?

      I have a video I uploaded recently called “What lens should you buy?” Which compares the 35 vs 50 vs 85 and I think that will answer your question with some photo examples 😄 but yes an 85 will have less distortion, then a 135 will have even less, etc

    If I download the app Digital Film on my phone and subscribe to it, will I be able to access your Lightroom presets?

    You show how one needs to compose differently for these different focal lengths. They are not really "interchangeable."

    35 all the way!! ALTHOUGH I will admit for close up couple portraits, the 50 is a really beautiful lens!
