Two of the most common focal lengths in portrait photography are 24mm and 35mm. In fact, every camera maker, from Canon to Sony to Fuji, has one or more wide aperture prime lens options for each; and third party manufacturers, like Tamron and Sigma, add to the assortment of options. Why are these lenses so common and popular? In this video, Pye Jirsa explains why 24mm and 35mm lenses are his favorite primes, discussing their versatility, their affect on the emotion of an image, and more.

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.

@edurmissa 3 жыл бұрын

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

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.

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.

@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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
