@@idrisstdj A 24-70mm and 85mm are two lenses I couldn't live without doing portraits/weddings. I would love 50mm and 35mm primes, but the compromise would be having the 24-70mm and it gives me those focal lengths as well as 24mm for groups which is super useful. And serves double duty as a general purpose lens. But 24,35,50 mil primes are on my wish list. Already got so many lenses, need to pace myself.😆

I vibe the 50mm and 85mm combo, it's not as much difference in focal length, but the 50mm is kinda like "focused environmental" and the 85mm is just the true portrait length. Also it's easier to accidentally get wonky face effects with the 35mm vs the 50mm.

The 2 for me, after doing this for a couple years and trying a handful of things. I’m on my f/1.8 nifty fifty. Ol’ reliable. HOWEVER, i use it less and less and on some occasion don’t even take it with me. Because my f/4 24-105 is just giving me some terrific results. I also love moving around with only one lens. And I do mostly shoot portrait but if and when I can, I think I’ll upgrade the nifty to a 85 f/1.2. But the 24-105 is going to be a staple for me for a very long time

Give me more freedom in the exact amount of compression vs either a 135mm or 200mm prime. For me a bg bokeh with 2.8 is more than enough. And if I want even more blur, there's photoshop.

For portraits, 24-70mm f/2.8 and 85mm f/1.2. If I had to add a third it be a 70-200mm. If I could only have one, it be an 85mm. And this is from practical experience because when starting out the 85mm f/1.2 was my only portrait lens and I could make do with just that. It is wide enough I can walk back and get a couples shot or get in close for a tight head shot. The extremely wide f/1.2 aperture allows for great background separation but not only that a gorgeous fall off of DOF that renders sharp eyes and the rest starts to fall out of focus. In my opinion any portraits kit should have some kind of 85mm prime in there, it is indispensable. And I would have to agree, a 35mm prime is SOOOO good as an environmental portrait lens. I can see why he loves it.

@@PuReXtremeGamingBecause if the 35mm. That lens is the number choice for learning and sets you up to add the 85mm. Gee...isn't that what Ortiz said? There's a reason why he mentioned it. If you had to choose for a first all around lens, the 35mm. If you want to take pictures of just people close up, then 85mm. 50mm is kind of in between. Tbh, there's no right or wrong answer, but with a good 35mm like the GM f1.4, it covers every situation better than the 50mm.

@matrixate 9 ай бұрын

@@PuReXtremeGaming Sorry bro. Conveying all my thoughts in a sentence, can be a bit challenging. What my reply implied was that he used a 35mm and discovered that he needed a lens with tighter framing. It doesn't mean he's a better photographer, it means that he was able to discern from his style of shooting that he typically goes tighter. You see...he couldn't have done that with a 50mm in smaller places, but he could with a 35mm. That's usually the case with everyone that gets a 50mm first...they find that they want tighter shots. However, people that go with a 50mm lens as their first lens typically find they need a wider lens. If that is the case, then the perfect combination is the 85mm. This is well-known to all professional photographer. Any pro photographer has a 35mm and an 85mm in their bag. Now, on the other hand, a 50mm marries up with a 24mm. The best option is to rent a 35mm and a 50mm. Seriously. If you really are into this, you'll make the small investment because a good lens...is not cheap. I say, the 35mm is better because you can take wider shots in small places. You can't do that with a 50mm. A 35 covers the 50mm field of view. The 50mm doesn't. The 35mm is more forgiving for shakiness. The 50mm is just a little more demanding of steadiness. This is especially true when filming video. Ok...that should be enough now. Any more information, I'll have to bill you.
