I am demonstrating the differences between three popular fixed focal lengths: a 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm. I begin with side-by-side differences with the same pose. Next, we do a set of images where I use each lens how I typically would in a photoshoot. Lastly, we go indoors and use all-natural window light so you can really get a feel for the proximity that comes with each focal length.
LENSES USED:
Canon 35mm f/1.4 shrsl.com/2ra19
Canon 50mm f/1.2 shrsl.com/2ra1c
Canon 85mm f/1.2 shrsl.com/2ra1f
I wanted to use all Canon lenses in this tutorial. In my own collection, I have a Sigma 35mm art but for the sake of consistency, I taught using only Canon lenses instead of a mix of brands.

Just a tip for beginners: Start with 85mm , then 50mm to 35mm as you progress. Wide lens is much difficult to use and get a nice photos as it needs more consideration on your subjects,backgrounds and skill on composition!
@joansmith7649
@joansmith7649 9 ай бұрын
Start with the 85mm only if your intention is to increase subject-lens distances and thereby fatten up your subjects. This could be useful if you are shooting anorexic models who could benefit from appearing a bit more substantial and healthy. On the other hand, if you are taking portraits of your average American, you may want to start with a 35mm lens to facilitate portraits taken from closer distances that will shave off a few pounds. If you occasionally come across an American with a BMI lower than 30, you can always move back a bit with the 35mm lens and then crop in on the computer for the desired framing of the final image.

Great tutorial. I currently shoot w/ a 50mm f1.8 vs a 1.4. Though it’s my favorite lens thus far (I want to try out a 16mm & 35mm w/ a 1.2 or 1.4 f stop). As someone noted below, when shooting with a 50mm f1.8, you have to be mindful of the <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="245">4:5</a> Instagram ratio. You have to shoot your subjects from afar to avoid them being cropped out on Instagram. I want to try 16 or 35 that allows you to get closer while still blurring out the background.

Yes for me is perfect as well I just want to buy 35mm and 85mm from sigma art. It gives you a lot more options to shoot, a little of wildlife, astrophotography, landscape, interior of the buildings, more megapixeles in long distance objects (less or none crop), best macro capabilitys, this canon 50mm have very slow focus.... I don't hate the 50mm but for me is no the best option...... I totally agree with you!!!!!

@@leodejongful true. 85mm is a specialized lens. I love the images it produces. But it's mainly for portraits. Not versatile for variety of events. If I would just bring one prime lens with me it would be 50mm. No distortion and you can still include a little background for context of the image. 35mm is too wide for portraits and there's distortion.

@@bieaye3233 Hi. The "f" value is for aperture. So, f/1.2 will give you more blurry background & focus will be only on the subject while f/1.8 will allow much of the background to be in focus. The f/1.4 is between the two of them.

85 mm is my favorite focal length. When I finally do buy a full frame camera, one of the first lenses I am going to purchase for it is in 85 mm f 1.8. Then at some point after that I plan to purchase and 85 mm F 1.4 Sigma art lens. The auto focus kind of sucks on the winds though so it's really only good for Photography in which the subjects is willing to hold still while you get the focus correct for certain.

each length has it's specific look, and purpouse. Overall if you like to shoot wide with more surroundings than go with 35, if you want to isolate your subject shoot with 85, and If you want both some kind of in the middle (allround) go with the 50mm. I would go with 50mm if that was my only one lens. It's best of both worlds, but also neither so isolating as 85 and not so wide as 35. Now when I got 50 than 35 and now I want to check 85mm for myself. all F1.4 of course. that's what makes them so "photographic". hope it helps! cheers! ( we are talking on a full frame FOV not on a crop like APS-C)

on the other hand i personally think that 35mm is most true to life and captivating and you can see the context, as well as it requires more compositional skills from the photographer.

Such a well made comparison video! I have enjoyed it from a-z. I have personally a 50mm 1.8 (like almost everybody) and upgraded to a 35mm 1.4 Sigma Art lens since I am shooting a lot of travel style / Instagram pictures. My issue with the 50 usually was the <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="245">4:5</a> crop from Instagram. I missed so many nice "perfect" pictures because of it. Instead of having an 85mm, I'm having a 105mm 2.8 but Macro. It gives me that extra reach if the 35mm is too far but since it's a macro lens I don't have to back off. I can even take a close up of the coffee mug, the eye, hand, or whatever. I find it because of the Macro feature to be very versatile and still way lighter than to carry a 70-200 2.8 around with me. Ohh, and I am having a 14-24 2.8 for those reeeeeaaalllyyy tight places, hotel rooms or in the city if I need the whole building in the frame. It's a lifesaver. To sum up, main: 35mm 1.4, 105mm 2.8 macro, if needed 14-24mm 2.8 :)

This has been super helpful! I started out on a 85mm 1.4 lens a year ago and I've worked it to death lol. Now with my first wedding coming up I think it's time I added another one to my arsenal. Your video has been very informative and helped me see what I can I do with this upcoming shoot based of my choice of lenses. The 35mm is really what's calling my name, I think having my 85mm will make up for the loss of the 50mm, plus the second shooter has one, so I think we'll be fine. Thanks for making this video, keep 'em coming love.

I prefer the 50mm because its good when it comes to fashion photography it doesn’t look flat and there’s more movement in your camera angle(my opinion)

This is one of my favorite videos I just wish you would do this same review on the a6400 using a Sony E35mm, E50mm and sigma 56mm lens. That would be a wish come true.

Did you wind up with the 85? I would guess that would give you the easiest professional looking shot for someone that doesn’t have time to become a professional photographer

This is the best comparison of the three focal lengths that I've yet seen, anywhere! You really show how each focal length affects how the model and environment are shown. The 35mm gives a great sense of environment (but sometimes to the detriment of the subject), with lots of leading lines; the 50mm shows balanced proportions for everything in the frame, with just enough of the environment; and the 85mm has a dreamy, other-worldly look, flattening out the background and making you focus on the subject. All three lenses have their time and place!

I don't know much about photography, just picked it up as a hobby and trying to learn as much as possible. If you were to pick one lens from the three to do a little bit of different types of photography, like portrait, landscape, travel, sports, night, etc. Which one would be the best option?

Awesome video, 35 is ballsy to use for shooting people but you got really good looks doing that. Solid tip on the downward angle. I'm not a portrait/fashion specialist, but a really cheap sleeper lens for canon APS-C is the 55-250 kit lens for the occasional environmental headshots and corporate shots I do, which generally call for a longer lens. They're not the highest build quality but my copy is as sharp as any zoom I own, or at least as sharp as you need for shooting faces IMO. It's a poor man's 70-200 that looks pretty much as good as a pro 70-200 ;) If I were a beginner with a canon apsc DSLR, or a mirrorless with an adapter, I'd seriously look into one, they're $150 or so used.
