I agree with this graph. I've been doing photography for 12 years. I started at a high f-stop because that's the only thing I had :D then went down to increase that f-stop, and I thought it was the greatest thing ever, but then I started to compare shots I had at 35mm f2.8 vs 35mm f1.8, and I'd say that half of the time, I prefer the shots at f2.8. So now I'm often stopping down. Exactly as you explained.

Arthur, as a comment from Germany noted, and I declare with capitalisation: you are The Calm American. I have learned and been guided by your years of reviews, videos and photos. Your point about f/1.4 suiting some work on APS-C cameras was another lightbulb moment while you displayed your X and Y graph. Hint to others with a tendency towards online sales and exaggeration - being chill reduces delivery of hyperbole, spiel, auto switch-on fake exuberance and just plain shouting at audiences.

Another great video. I loved your chart. I could relate to it because it's exactly the path I followed with shallow DOF. I finally realized that portrait shots are best at ~ f2.5 - f2.8 so that my subject's entire face is in focus and yet the background blur is still excellent.

I bought my Sony a7c in the summer of 2021, effectively switching to E-mount. At that time I was wondering why they are not more options for 50mm. Since then we got 3 Sony 50mm lenses, new Samyang f1.4 lens and 2 Sigma lenses - f1.4 and f2. What a rollercoaster of emotions for anyone loving that focal lenght!!

Great vid! And this is honestly why I love the Sony 24 2.8, 40 2.5 and 50 2.5 so much. With something like the A7iv being so good in low light, that extra depth of field for both personal and client work, can be super ideal. Damn, so many great options these days.

@ac4pres310 Жыл бұрын

Hi there, I agree with the graph following my own experience. I do back you up on the 1.4 for APS-C as well, those small sensor Sigma primes especially are lovely and you should in my opinion too try to get as fast a lens you can to manage that low light but also background separation much better on crop sensors (a thing a bit more effortless on FF). As some of the other comments have mentioned, you can always stop it down if you need to but it won’t open beyond it’s max spec 😜. For my full frame right now I find aperture is not that critical anymore. I currently own no lens going below f2 (58mm manual focus prime) and all the others are f2.8. It is plenty enough blur in most situations and even in low light with today’s ISO capabilities you can get away with f2.8 if you are on a tighter budget (think maybe that fast of a shutter speed is not necessary and it could win you a stop of ISO). A full frame f1.4 50mm with AF is on my long term shopping list but this time the reason is really the low light aspect and not the thinnest DoF you can squeeze out of your camera. Because in terms of how much bokeh you get the truth of the matter is the person that cares the most is the photographer, you have the eye that is looking for that, the client won’t even notice most of the time if you don’t show a side by side and make them pick. For FF, I wouldn’t worry too much if your lens is „only” f1.8 or f2, just go and get those great expressions out of those in front of it 😋

@bufftheowl 3 ай бұрын

You hit the nail on the head with your chart. This is why I'm happy with my 70-200 f4. I shoot a lot of pets and if it's a small dog, even f4 is too wide open, at 200mm with a small dog to get sharp separation from the background it's more like f8 and 5.6 for a medium dog 😮 Recently seing, just how amazing 3d pop can be from such lenses as the Zeiss 50mm Sonnar T, has made me realise you need the sides of you subject sharp for proper separation.

@m.bauer2024 10 ай бұрын

I like the chart at the end of video (aperture vs time). It fits me well. I used to feel bad when I could not use f1.4 at day due to too much of light. Now I use most of the time Tamron 17-70 2.8 and I usually don't even get to f2.8. Blurred bg is just one of the tools in photography, it won't make a bad picture any better.

@AlainKapture Жыл бұрын

I‘m happy that Sigma have now a a 50mm 1.8/2.0 option. Like you said, the 1.2/1.4 options are nice but they are huge! And because my A7C is limited to 1/4000s with mechanical shutter, I already have to use a ND2/4 in daylight on my 1.8 lenses, what is OK because I don’t need big ones for that kind of lenses.

I do a lot of commercial photography. Mostly shoot with my 35mm and 50mm f1.4 on a full frame sensor. When I first bought the lenses I was shooting mostly at 1.4. Now, I mostly shoot between f2.8-5.6 or even f8. Depending on the source of light.

@normandy2501 Жыл бұрын

Since I started out with street and more documentary photography, I always preferred at least f/4 when it came to portraits. If I wanted more of a blurry background, I would just use a more telephoto focal length and maybe reduce the clarity tiny bit with inverted subject masking in post.

@SeventySoyer Жыл бұрын

I am a fan of APS-C for this reason. You can open up as much as your fast lens permits and still not overdue with bokeh, but receive a ton of light and reduce noise. APS-C is like a generation behind in a low light performance which is a few years ago when the noise performance on FF was considered "great for professional work". Think about it.

I really like Sigmas f2 primes. I own the 20, 24 and 35. This new 50 seems to have the exact same size as the 35 (20 and 24 is a bit bigger). Filtersize 62 for 20 and 24, 58 for 35 mm.

@stoikerty Жыл бұрын

That's why I'm glad I haven't sold all of my M43 gear after getting an A7 IV... M43 is way more fun while still getting great image quality. 90% of the time, do you really need more bokeh than the Full Frame equivalent of 112mm f2.8? Well you can get the Sigma 56mm f1.4 for M43 and there is no comparable setup that's as compact and light in the full frame world. Truthfully, I find it quite sad that we don't have ultra-compact premium plastic G-Master lenses. Although I will say that the recent compact F2.8 G lenses (24/40/50) are a nice step in that direction. These Sigma Contemporary DG DN lenses though? Not really. I don't want a extra metal weight, sorry Sigma but I appreciate lightweight lenses more. That's why I bought the Sony 55mm f1.8, it's the right set of compromises.

This 50 is actually very close to the 65mm in terms of lens design. The diagrams are almost identical. Will get the 50 as my only L-mount AF-lens. Paired with the SL 601 that should make a beautiful combo.

@Nathan_Lundstrom Жыл бұрын

One large benefit to 1.2 and 1.4 lenses on FF is that you can stop down to F2, F2.8, or F4, and generally your sharpness increases, vignetting decreases, and CA decreases, alongside having 1.2 as an artistic option. For most use cases, those shallow DoF shots aren’t necessary, but in the right hands with the right eye they allow for more creative options with the lens already on your camera.

@Drumaier Жыл бұрын

Yes exactly! I think reviewers (not Arthur, I'm thinking other one) shouldn't be so picky and clinical about 1.2 and 1.4 lenses at max aperture. I mean you can be critical with Canon L or Sony GM at their max apertures for sure, but when talking about relatively cheap, or really cheap fast lenses, as long as they produce some decent pictures at those apertures then great. They are more about having those extra stops for when needed or suitable rather than being perfect...and that's it. For great optics and autofocus etc you will have to pay big prices.

@trym2121 Жыл бұрын

@kanaheiusagi Жыл бұрын

I think one problem with the chart, from experiences in using the 50mm f1.2, is that it really depends on the subject and background distance, f1.2 is great for full body and environmental portraits, or when the subject is quite close to the background, it can still give substantial subject isolation, there are also added characteristics @f1.2 flattering for a portrait like the vignetting, soft falloff on the cheeks and face, and a dreamy feel to the photo in general. Having said that, I think as time progresses, one would get the feeling of when to stop down and when to go wide open (i.e. it wouldn't be a linear line but rather a min and max line as time progresses)

8:15 you could have simply said that the low light (noise) performance of APS-C is exactly half of FF, that is to have the same clean image on an APS-C you need exactly 1 stop faster lens, that is you need an F1.4 lens on APS-C to have the same "noise" results as F2 on FF.

@johnmakphotography Жыл бұрын

Excellent video! I really liked what you said about the most "usuable" aperture for portrait work or even street and travel. I would say, even for APSC cameras, the f2 is plenty if you know how to photograph and the type of photos you get. At f2 you just need to raise your ISO a little higher but the sharpness, especially at night with the f2 from corner to corner is insanely good! I think all the I series lenses have the same sharpness and image quality (I own the 35mm f2 and I couldn't ask for more for street and travel photography).

From having various 35mm,50mm, 85mm, 105mm,135mm wide aperture primes and loving them, but also not loving some things about them. 85mm never long enough for studio portraits, 105 is better in my recent years for headshots and 65mm is perfect for full length, as 50mm would stretch the head and feet too much, 105mm makes them look too short, 65 feels natural, even better than 85 in studio and also needs less space, so win win. In events 65mm has better reach and feel than 50mm and not as confined as 85mm,so for me, just right. 35,65,105... So happy. I miss 135mm sometimes but 105 is more versatile, 85 vs 65 is similar, 65 feels great. If I want wider, skip 50 and go to 35, thats my vote. Also there is no free meal, if you want f1.4 or f1.2 you have to carry it, so f2 is a great change for me, and the 65mm is tiny and light, perfect, for me. Thanks Sigma for all the great options, all the f1.4 and f2 DN lenses are amazing.

20,35,65 is such a great combo, I agree. I love my Sony 20 f1.8, sigma 35 f2 and 65 f2, but as I finally got the Tamron 35-150 f2-2.8, everything changed and I use my primes much less. Sad about that but that lens has so much variety in one lens and the image quality shows. No lens changes required, except for wide. Weight is the compromise but doable.

The promise of the mirrorless systems was that the cameras will be smaller, lenses will be smaller and easier to design because their optical formula does not have to take into account restriction that the mirror box of SLR/DSLR creates. Meanwhile it is 2023 and Sigma releases an f/2 lens for mirrorless system that is BIGGER than most of the 50mm f/1.4 lenses for SLR cameras from 70's, not to mention f/2, f/1.8 and f/1.7 designs!

Yes indeed, the DoF with f1.4 can easily become to shallow. I recently shot portrait photos on a wedding (these typical pictures where people look through a picture frame) with my Sigma 85mm f1.4. You have absolutely no chance to shoot this with f1.4 if there's more than 1 person in the picture, because the DoF is already to shallow. I had to stop down to f2.

Just give me a good quality 1.8 50mm!

I will not go down to 1.4 unless it's very low light.

I actually bought f 1.8 lens to shoot sharp in f 2.8 😂

50mm just doesn't do it for me... 11mm prime, 24mm prime, stabilized 105 F4.0 zoom is all I use... Yes, I can only shoot wide when its dark. That hasn't bothered me yet...

I got the impression that the 65mm f2 has better bokeh than this 50mm f2. I also think this 50mm f2 is better suited for videography than the 65mm f2. Do you agree?
