When I began my photography education I took a class that was taught by a prominent newspaper photographer. He stated that the 85mm lens was like permanently attached to his camera for his work. He used the 85 for 90 percent of his photos. He stated the 85 was more close to his natural eye. This man produced amazing photos as a news photographer. The 85 has been my #1 lens ever since.

I love my 70-200, but the sony 85mm 1.8 is such a compact little gem, I may need to pick one up at some point. It's all well and good doing street photography with a 70-200, but when people think you're aiming an RPG at their face it's hard to stay inconspicuous.

My 2 favorite primes to walk around with are the 35mm and the 85mm (or 90mm Macro if it's spring). If the 35mm is too wide 85 is perfect, and if the 85mm is too tele - the 35mm is perfect. I used to use a 50mm but I realized that I was either too close or too far away. In the end - I looked at my metadata in Lightroom (based on my 24-240mm) and found that a lot of my shots were around 35 or 85 rather than 50. I think the key to falling in love with the 85mm and not feel super constrained is to also carry a wide (whatever your FL of choice is there).

This boils down to two things: 1.) the 85mm forces you to do the work inside the camera (and with your feet), where it should be done. 2.) If you have a talking head in your video (not a VLOG), then 85mm gives you that distance to remain personal, yet your subject will not feel crowded. The 85mm Batis is spectacular, and I've owned quite a few 85s in my career. Good video.

For beginners don't be discouraged. If you get an APS-C dslr/mirrorless camera, most of the time you get an 18-55 kit lets, and you can multiply that to 1.5 So you basically get 27-82mm which is close enough to 85mm FOV You can also set it to 35mm on the lens and multiply by 1.5 you get a pretty close to 50mm FOV. And if you want a 35mm FOV equivalent set it around 24mm on your lens.

@@nadrenders4149 It's not always that obvious, but focal lengths in photography world are stated with regards to full frame sensors : 36mm x 24mm. For most APS-C sensors, the sensor size is 24mm x 16mm, which is respectively 1.5 times smaller than the full frame sensor. Yes, we talk about single dimension, not the area (you square it up for area, which is 2.25 times, but skip it). Because the APS-C sensor is 1.5 time smaller, the field of view of the photo is 1.5 time smaller than the full frame one. You can search google for photography field of view. Field of view is, however, inversely proportional to focal length, so for APS-C sensor, the full frame equivalent focal length is 1.5 times bigger than the same focal length if attached to a full frame camera. If you read more on the internet, it is called crop factor.

With a pure prime being out of my budget, I like to use the 90mm 2.8 Macro lens for similar use. It's even a tad closer and 2.8 isn't 1.8 but it allows for getting close for details where the 85 would not focus. So it's a lovely compromise in spring when all the stuff bursts into bloom.

Naturally, it would make sense to do that same thing with landscape.

What isn't stressed enough when talking about focal length equivalences for crop sensors is that they are optically the same. It is the field of view that changes when you use a lens on a crop sensor. This is important because if you are trying to get an 85mm equivalent on a crop sensor camera, you'll end up with the same FOV, but you won't get the level of background compression that you might expect.

And yes on the top of that mountain the quite expensive but probably worth it F1.4 version. Owning a Sony 85mm F1.8. It is smooth, fine... great auto focus, and image quality is delightful. Once a year I go off to a renfair, well kinda like a renfair, and use the Sony 85mm F1.8 at full frame of course and offer people pictures. Trust me, that lens is big enough and with the right gear around it you look pro! My other lenses? A 35mm prime for a nice walk around. And a 24mm Prime if I need just that bit more width and effect.

sigma 56mm 1.4 on apsc (eq 84mm) is my second lens and I love it!

I'm considering it..But really confused between sigma 30mm and 56mm

Because I use an apsc camera, my third lens was a 75mm f1.8 equivalent lens.

I got mine today and I love the F/1.4 for taking pictures of things and the blurry background. Btw it is quiet nice to carry since it is not too big. But I still have to take some portraits.

I borrowed the Sony 12-24 mm wide-angle zoom for a landscape session, accompanied by my 85mm. 90% of my favourite shots were taken with the 85. I love telephoto landscape photography

I’ve got an A6600 and my favourite lens is my 50mm which is equivalent to something near of 80mm. A lot of people whom I’ve taken photos for and with prefer this and I’ve ended up shooting with this more. I really like it! I guess it depends on your style and how you prefer to take photos yourself but love the video!

For me, photography is skies the limit. No focal length can stop you for being creative on your shot. A photo definitely depends on how we picture out the scene :)

Hi Jason, Love your videos to begin with, and you thankfully reminded me about the 85 mm. I have a Zeiss Batis 85 that I bought when I purchased my Sony Alpha 9. I shot some great shots with it, but soon deferred to the 24-70 Sony Lens. I am going to give more love the the 85. Thanks, Wilfred

Totally agree on all points Difficult focal length to use but the Sony GM 85mm 1.4 look is magical.

@audioxix 4 жыл бұрын
sgpork can you just ask why do you bring a 16-35 and also a 35 prime lens, if you have that focal length on your zoom lens. Is it the type of lens that you use for the 35 or is prime lens just better for certain situations ?
@sgpork 4 жыл бұрын
@@audioxix my 16-35 is F4.. I use it more for landscape & indoor photos only.. The 35 prime can go to F1.4.. and 35mm on Full frame is my favorite.. I basically use it for everything. It's on my camera 80% of the time. The 85 come in handy if i need some reach or when i really need to blur out the background.. I choose this 3 because they just work for me n they are lighter/smaller to pack. Hence easier to bring around.
