This video makes me wanna go out and take photos!

50mm is perfect for those close ups 🔥

FLC is probably one of my favorite series for you. Great to show to those who are learning. It's entertaining and also very informative. As always, great job!

Finally!!! Waited for these series a lot time!! Time to watch 🤩

SUPERB shots👍👍 Even my wife, who has no interest in photography, was glued to the screen and praised all your shots.

Really love this series! Helps gives newbs like me an idea of what is possible with each focal length 👍

i love these two. No other way to put it. They inspire me.

Good to see this series back. Great video!

The 50 is a great one to have in anyone’s camera bag! I’ve shot a ton with it, and then got my hands on an 85mm 1.8. By far my favorite lens for portraits and cars! The compression is just too good!! 🔥💯❤️ But, with all that said, the 50 1.8 is definitely my favorite lens for indoor portraiture.

Love this couple! Your chemistry is refreshing! 50mm is always clutch.

I've using a 50mm prime most of my life. One of my favorites. Great video.

Amazing video as always and super excited to see this series return! 😁

Absolutely amazing as always! Love your guys videos, thanks. 👍

Love the vibe of your photos❤️

I always go back to the fixed 50 mm ... I actually enjoy the process of moving , searching for the right angle without zooming in / out . Great series

Love this topic and i love the 50mm focal length. I use it a lot for most of my photography.

Great series

It's fun to see what people prefer as their primary lens. I prefer to use my precious 85mm lens (with my CANON! 😙) as the obvious primary fixed lens for portrait photography and it's probably mainly because I have been using it for so many years that it's become an extension of how I view and photograph the world.

I’ve been using a 50mm f/1.8 exclusively since I got my 6D Mark II back on March 2020, and I absolutely love it. Best lens for portraits

Finally a becki and chris video, before my academic year starts.

Hey back after 3 weeks its great to see you becki love your videos..

50mm is my FAVOURITE focal length lol for every reason you just said! I like the fact that you can get these wide but also somewhat compressed look!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your editing style. LOVE IT!

Thank you for creating this video for us.

Great product shots and a good lesson in giving yourself challenges to improve your creativity.

Crushed it! I love my nifty 50, not expensive and it almost always lives on my camera

Great vid! This compliments Pete’s video a couple weeks ago. I have since made an effort to shoot with my 50mm every day. Have a great week!

It doesn't matter how many videos of yours I watch, you guys have the best color grading skills out there. 300K ! Way to go up !

Conveniently just bought a 50mm. Loved this!

Love the Fiddy! Chris' Blue Steel game strong AF!

This video makes me happy. Also makes me want to go out and shoot

Love the 50mm. And I really like this series you’ve got going focusing on different primes. Great video, thank you!

Your edits definitely make them photos 🔥

oh snap this was such an easy to understand yet complete explanation "it looks how it looks" so rad

Love these tips

50 is a lot of fun to work with. I think you can challenge yourself with it as well. It’s always my go-to “start” lens for a photos session (depending on what I’m shooting.) I was always able to shoot a lot of a wedding day with it, and I love it for portraits and details, like you said, as well as for shooting candids during events. This is the first video I’ve seen from this series, so I’m going to go back and watch the rest now! And the Facebook group is awesome! Thanks Becki!

Perfect timing for this vid. Just picked up the Samyang 50mm f1.4. It’s been glued on the body. I love my wide primes and in the past felt limited by the 50. I’ve been playing to its strengths and I freaking love it. 😊

Epic content, as alway!

Love these videos! Thank you!

I cannot wait for 85mm and 135mm focal length challenge

Video series like this and channels like yours focusing on the practical matters of photography instead of comparing specific pieces of gear are majorly refreshing. I would like you see you two do a video on the 35mm focal length!

Love this series! Would love to see how you approach/explore/expand your comfort zone into the telephoto range!

Thank you, glad for this video.

Nice video! Great passion. Great honesty. Loved it

Great video. Thanks guys.

Awesome, awesome, video! Thank you Becki and Chris. I learned a lot from this one (trying to level up my photography). 😎

I have the 55mm f1.8, which is very close to 50mm f1.4 but smaller and lighter. I do love how you described it! The result is looking like a home magazine when they are shooting for objects! I do understand why these lenses ( 50mm and 55mm) have become very popular for lifestyle and home decor bloggers!

I haven't owned a 50 in YEARS, just ordered one yesterday and can't wait to do stuff w/ it

Love your work. Love the channel. Slapping on my Sony 55mm Zeiss for the weekend.

Thanks, I need and wanted to learn about different lenses and when and why to use them. This is excellent.

a really fresh approach... keep up the good work.

damn chris is a doctor, filmmaker, heli pilot, (sure many other things), AND a model. you go boy!!! lol

Wow! Great Video!

Great video! I have my nifty 50mm 1.8 D Nikon lens on my Nikon D750 and I LOVE it! Thanks for this...

50mm is awesome BUT those edits are the real star of the show....

I bet you two don't get bored with each other.

You guys rock! Appreciate your work :)

This was really awesome! Waiting on the 85mm 😋

Chris looks amazing in those shots 50mm is one of my favourite lenses bc of how well it shoots and the photos that come out of it. The focal length for me its perfect for a lot of what i wanna get and the depth of field is great, and i only have a 1.8

When I bought my first dslr I had the option to buy the kit with the nifty fifty as an extra and dear flipping lord it was the lens that made me fall in love with photography so much more! And still is the lens i use the most!

I love my 85mm and beyond. The 200-600 is a beast!

always love an obligatory 50mm appreciation video

Dude more focal length challenges these are awesome

Thanks, I love this series. Just got my first real camera, a Fuji XS-10 with the 15-45mm (FF equivalent 22.5-67) kit, which is great for all around. I actually love going into the telephoto range of my kit and I plan on getting a 35mm next (FF equivalent 52mm). That "background compression" makes it look very unique compared to all the smartphone photography out there. Not to mention, all the manufacturers have affordable fast 50mm equivalent options (for Fuji, the XC 35mm f2).

I love the FPV B-roll.

Stumbled upon your channel looking for portrait shooting info for beginners. Really loved this video and your presentation style. Thanks for the info!

I'm definitely a 50mm guy! It's one of only 2 lenses that I own and 90% of all my photos are taken with the 50mm. Love this series, so glad its back! Now I wana go out and shoot some pics 😍😎

YESSS i love this series!! and your cuts hoodie-that's a solid color! I've used the 50 for a while, but it never stood out to me; it kinda was like the middle lens in that i usually shoot wide or tight at 85, but seeing all the photos you took with it just gets me amped to pick up the RF one! Thanks for all the insight and fun video!!

Loved this video. So well illustrated with examples. Keep up the good work. Subscribed.

Sitting in a fishing village just now watching this, I'm starting an August photo challenge and today is something with the letter N. I feel excited to get out after watching this!!

Nice shout out from a Becki to a Chris 👍🤗👍 35mm is my favorite all round, but the 50mm f1.2 is also right up there on the favorite list👍😎👍

Fantastic video, Becki -- Loved the 50mm Telephoto~ness

Just discovered your badass channel. Love it!

Great video! Love the more telephoto focal lengths

It's like you read my mind before you publish every video....and I don't even mind :) Thank you!

Stunning photos and such a great series guys! Glad you managed to get back to it. And holy s. how much content did you bring from this little trip! Wow

I would love this series for video production. I want to know what prime lens to buy. Great video!

Really great and nice video, Becky! Congrats, Best regards from Barcelona.

Great video you guys! Would love to 35mm next.

I have to kind of disagree with you Becki.... For a beginner I always recommend the 50 mm lens for them as a started lens. Plus I never recommend them spending the larger sums of money on a F/1.2 or F/1.4 lens as they are generally double the amount a simple 50 mm F/1.8 lens. I shoot Nikon and use F Mount adapted lenses using the F to Z adapter and I love the nifty fifty F/1.8 lens. It is budget friendly where say I accidently drop it and crack or break it, it's not going to break the bank as I can always pick up a used one on Facebook Marketplace for between $100 and $200 or brand new $250.00. I will agree the versatility of the 50 mm lens with it's medium focal length is amazing for everything from product, lifestyle, portraits etc... I have even used mine for landscape photos. I will also agree for serious detail shots, I would invest in macro lens (like I own...the Sigma 105 mm F/2.8 macro, which I have also done a few headshots/portrait shots with and is amazing for it) Plus even with an F/1.8 to 2.8 you can still get a nice shallow depth of field and bokeh in the background with little to no distortion. But I will agree for landscapes I would go with a wider field of view or telephoto lens (though I have used my Sigma 105 mm in DX Crop APS-C mode on the Nikon Z7 which gives me a 135 mm focal length) for certain landscape as well as wildlife photos (my recent photos of the puffins in Elliston you saw on Twitter and the whales and fox). But for a lot of my wider shots I use my Tamron 24-70 mm F/2.8 lens or I will throw on my SIgma 10-20 mm F/3.5 DX Crop lens which gives me a 15-35 mm focal range.

really like the content. subbed. this is the first vid i saw of your channel

Ah! I knew I saw Chris’s photos in the past but didn’t remember where but now…I got you Doleboy!

Great video, I shoot exclusively with 50mm on my Canon T3i, I love it

Perfect ! Great info

yep! definitely my fav focal! I'm glad there are other peeps loving the 50 just as much 😊.. I hate it when some smartass photographers make fun of fellow photographers using a 50

I went with a Samyang 45mm f1.8 for price, but it’s become my favorite lens for my A7III all the reasons you state. It just makes such amazing images.

Back in the 50s when I was learning to take photographs the accepted method was to use only a 50mm on 35mm cameras. One article suggested taking a 1000 images with the 50mm lens. Honestly I didn’t. I knew no one that even got close. Though if you divided 36 into 1000 you really didn’t use up that many rolls. What it force me to do was learn how to process film and make contact sheets. That was my basic training. Figure out the composition, exposure, f stop, speed, and determine the distance to the subject. Then develop the film and make contact sheet. Learning all this in 8th and 9th grade put me way ahead of others when in high school I got on the year book staff. Anyway the 50 or a lens is close to that, maybe 45, with the field of view it produces should be the first lens on learning photography.

very nice ! so cool !!!

Lol sweet shout out to Jeven Dovey love that guy Much ❤️ great video.

If I could only have 1 focal length it would be 50mm! Love your bird of paradise btw!

Was considering the new compact 50mm from Sony and this pushed me that much closer to pulling the trigger on it.

oiy oiy !! .. bout time we saw you again !! .. missed you guys !

Love it. Keep'm comming.

Camera camp 🥰

I think the 50mm might also be my favorite lens😁🔥🙌awesome video.

I'd missed you guys

I’m on edge of getting a prime for my Sony, this confirms it! I had a 35mm for an old Nikon and used nothing else, but a 50 would be a good switch I’m thinking

50mm is my favourite lense it’s great in my opinion I like food and portraits that probably explains why I like it 🤩

Inspiring stuff, now I want to go shoot some more photos!

A 50mm lens is often referred to as a “nifty fifty” because it is so versatile and easy to use. It is also an inexpensive investment that promises to improve your photography without weighing down your camera or your bag.
