I like wide angle prime. The wider the focal length, the deep the dof. so to have f1.4 for 24mm, 35mm can really see the difference. but for longer focal length even with 85mm, the dof is very shallow with f2.8. Over 100mm on full frame can give you really shallow dof even at f2.8 and f4. So to me for longer lens you do not really need f1.8. It can be too shallow the background. so my suggestion is get a prime for focal length like 24mm, 35mm 50mm. and then buy a 70-200 f2.8 to cover the rest focal length. That works well for my need.
I never thought about it this way!
very good point not a lot of reviewers mention! Furthermore, DOF is more noticeable on photo vs video depending on your style, because of the movement. Then again wider lenses let in more light.
@Henbu: I wonder how you stick to the #frames/shutterspeed rule in that regard!?
I agree with you. A 70-180/200 f2.8 is plenty enough for shallow dof. On the wide end (16-28) I often need f8 so dont really need lower aperture. But on the 35-50mm range for portrait I always feel f2.8 is not enough. To verify this, I got the sigma 35 1.4, that I will use with my tamron 70-180 2.8. Hope it will be a nice combo for portrait :)
@@HorusTheFalconX Right. When I use 24-70 f2.8 for portrait I often find not enough shallow dof when at 35mm 50mm is ok. But when I use 70-200mm f2.8 I find over 100mm the dof is very shallow, many times to a degree that I can not recognize the background.
Yes.. Very good point.

I always will pick the No Lens. Let the Sun or LEDs just shine straight on the sensor.
As much as I love my sigma prime lenses, I’ve found the Sony 18-105 stays on my camera the most. Yeah it’s not as sharp or as fast, but the versatility is so clutch.
exactly! I'll take versatility over sharpness or wider aperture any day!
found the exact opposite for me. have the 18-105 but use the Sigma 30mm 1.4 99% of the time
@@DDHDTV same here
@@DDHDTVI have this exact combo
Really liked the feel of this video! I've honestly been surprised how much I've just left my 24-70 f/2.8 on.
Great video. I love my primes, but the large aperture of the more expensive ones could also be a downside in my experience. When blurring half a person's face this is generally not a desirable effect. Even if my 24mm GM can go to f1.4 I often don't like to open it up more than f2.0.
Hey bro what lens specifically did you film with at 4:13-4:25? I love this video by the way, it’s very informative
I need a 14-600 f1.2
I need a 8 - 800 f0.95
😂🤣😂 word!!
How much are you willing to pay for such a lens?
I'd love something like a 24-50mm f/2. I rarely need the longer end of the spectrum, that bigger aperture would be a great tradeoff.
Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 on APSC equiv to a 28-52mm in FF
@@firehorseweddingphotograph3995 But the DoF is roughly f/2.9
Sigma 18-35mm 1.8, a zoom that is 1.8 the whole range and zooms in barrel. Sigma made a wide zoom.
hey henbu what do you think about the sigma 18-35 1.8 for sony a7iii?
If I have all the time in the world a 24mm would probably never leave my camera body, with maybe a 50mm or 75/85mm to round it out for some reach every now and then. Zoom for me is just if I don't have time, like in an event situation, that's when zooms really shine imo.
If there was a 24-75mm 1.4 zoom that wasn't a tank tho...then I'd probably just use that. Maybe some day...
24mm prime..& 100 to 400 is my combo I enjoy
I think eventually a 24 and 35 prime will be added to my collection, otherwise I tend to prefer the versatility of the 24-70 & 70-200 combo. Also, loved the example shots in this vid, beautiful
After a year, are your thoughts still the same?
@@shayan_shots I do still love and use my zooms religiously; BUT, as soon as I can I'd love to add an 85mm prime. I find myself wishing I had just a little more after 70mm without having to go to the 70-200 (plus, my 70-200 is canons RF F/4 version) From everything I've seen with 85's, I feel like it'll end up being my go to for so many different things!
after another year, are you thoughts still the same? :) @@c.h.imaging
Can you recommend a cheapest mobile lens but result using it will be better
Great breakdown of Primes vs Zooms, this conversation has been on going for years. And I’ve been on both sides of issues at times. At this point in my life I use a 50/50 split of what kind of lenses I’m going to use. But I use more zooms now than I used to. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.
You stay dropping the knowledge! Preciate you man!
I have sony 55 1.8 and the apsc 18-35 1.8 for video with a7lll . Now I'm looking for some zoom lens full frame I think for the price tamron 17-28 2.8 or the samyang 18 2.8 but I can't decided
Id recommend the tamron!
@@Henbu thank you!!!
sick bro!
I shoot primes and zooms.
Primes are better than zooms except when the reverse is true.
For my APS-C digital cameras, I use the following prime lenses:
16mm f/1.4
23mm f/1.4
23mm f/2
56mm f/1.2
135mm f/2
I also use the following zoom lenses:
16-55mm f/2.8
50-140mm f/2.8
What is the definition of F number? Focal length divided by diameter of aperture. Therefore, if you wanted an 800mm f1.4 lens, the diameter of the maximum aperture would have to be the best part of two feet! Probably you would need a crane to pick it up.
What lens and filter set up for this vlog look? obviously HLG2.709 but love the warmth and softness in the image.
When would you zoom into frame better instead of moving the camera closer to the subject, does it affect the image?
Well my choice is 14-24 mm f 2.8 sigma and 24-105 f4 sony, as a travel vlogger...
i hope that sony makes a 70-200 f2.8 the same size as the canon rf version
My weapons of choice: RF 15-35 for video and RF 70-200 for photos. For travel I only use my RF 50 1.8, so lightweight and easy to work with. I am however waiting for my RF 24-70 to arrive (2 months of waiting already...).
Got everything I want my bro thanks a lott
Sheeshh ...
I have a Sigma 24-35 f2. Other than being big and heavy it is fantastic. One zoom lens acts like three prime.
Thank you for always making such high quality content
One of my go to lenses is the 16-35 2.8 gm and I will say that for the most part 2.8 is good for low light however having those extras stops would be such a game changer even if it was the type of thing where you could only get the wide open app at lower focal lengths
This is some very valuable information no matter what your photography skill level is. Great video, great info! Thanks
Canon 55-250mm F4-6.3 is always on my camera.
Sigma actually has a 18-35mm 1.8 lens
You're gonna have to buy the MC-11 adaptor to attach it to sony cameras if you're a sony shooter 🙋🏻♂️
If in telephoto lens 18-140mm and set in 24mm and other side use wide lens 18-35mm and set in also 24mm the result is same?
I'd love to have zoom lenses covering from 17mm to 200mm f2.8, and then have one f1.4 prime lens with the focal length I use the most (which I think is 35mm right now)
Do you mean a real 35mm or a 50mm equivalent? I'm trying to figure out what people means when they say they use 35mm most of the time, without being specific about the sensor size
@LELO A real 35mm in my case (I have a full frame sensor). I think most people usually mean the real focal length when they talk about it, unless they specifically say it's a crop sensor
I was just thinking about a new lens
Great
Good video bro. Nice job
yessss!! im the 1K like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We don't buy, we make our zooms DYI from scratch with our androids. What planet is this vid from ?
Just a minute, I happen to have a 35-100 2.8 Konica from the 70's. But it's for crop sensors bc @ full aperture corners are like 70's, a bit to alcoholic.
such a great video and great facts comparing zoom vs. prime, thoughout the video i was wondering about the canon 28-70/2 and bam right at the end you've mentioned it. The size and price is pretty deadly, but do you think the f2 would give you the cinematic effet. i know i know it's the photographer not the gear, but i'm a gear junkie. I wonder if the f2 zoom lens is too big for carrying around street style or photojournalstic style of shooting
Thanks bro. You sold me to get Cinnamon Toast Crunch over Reese’s puff cereal
for wide angle perspectives it really pays to use primes to get cinematic, dreamy bokeh. there's inherently depth of field at 20mm/24mm to the extent that f4 would be disappointing. f/1.4 is gorgeous at 24mm, especially in a city at night
Random question what is that intro song haha? Also I am a videographer in San Diego if you ever want to meet up
Thank you for this
Those Japan shots 😍😍😍
Better? Let's measure "better" by priority: Better for convenience? No. Better for overall cost, when a zoom lens can cover several focal lengths? No. Better for image quality? Generally yes, for a very well designed single focal length lens. Better if you need a fast aperture? Yes. Better if you're an "artist"? Possibly. Better if you're a photojournalist? Most often, no.
👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏💯💯💯
hey henbu! quick question. i realized some of your slow mo videos had the flickering light / unsync frame rate issue. do you have any way to fix this? thanks for the video!
Thank you so much for the explanation bro.. love from chennai..♥️
good job henbu, keep at it bro
Great video i would advise to always state what focal length you are shooting yourself in for this video !
Love your videos 👍👍
thanks henbu for this tipsss.... I really appreciate it
definitely helped me thanks :)
Thanks for this : )
Amazing!
@henbu what's your thought on the Sony 50mm 2.5G do you think it's good enough for portraits? it's either that or the cheapest one Sony 50mm 1.8 FE and do you have a new twitter account if yes let me know please
