Try update V3, it fast(er) an accurate

I totally agree!

Especially for the price, it's surprisingly good!

And I put it on my Sony a1! The most expensive body and the cheapest lens cause the a1 took all my money 🤣

@@davidalangraham I use the 50mm 1.8 FE with Sony A7R4, it´s amazing.

So true, wish it was same price as 85.

Shoot the subject at the same exact distance used for the 50mm, and your subject's proportions will appear exactly same as that acheived with the 50mm, albeit a bit smaller in size. Crop into the image during post, and the framing will be the same. Oh drats, I lost some resoliution. As long as your camera is a modern high resolution full-frame camera, who cares. This loss of a little resolution only means you will have faster file transfers. So be happy about it. As long as your final cropped image size is at least 8MP, you will not have issues. Oh drats, what about my bokeh? My creamy dreamy bokeh? Forget bokeh at the time of capture. Rework the background in post, and adjust the blur to your heart's content. Do you want the blur to look like you shot the photo with a 1000mm lens? No problem. Therefore, feel free to get rid of your 50mm, get a fast 35mm, and turn your 35 into a 50, a 70, and an 85 in post production with cropping. There is only one situation that could throw a monkey wrench into your blissful life with just a 35mm lens. And that one situation would be if you had a client who absolutely loves to admire her 4 foot x 6 foot portrait from a distance of one foot away. So if you happen to have this type of client, she may actually be able to notice that there is a slight loss of detail in her huge portrait. If you do not have this type of client, then you can enjoy life with your incredibly flexible 35mm lens..... and not have any other lenses at all.

Then, 85 f1.8 would be better if you do portraits. And its cheaper than 35mm

Absolutely! I find a 50mm is super handy for portraits if you want a super thick defocused background to make them pop from the surroundings. Also, shooting at f/1.8 will help you to keep the ISO down in low light condition as there's a big jump between f/2.8 and f/1.8 in terms of light entering your camera. I hope this helps!

@@TomCalton Thank you 🙏

Main thing is the aperture, 35 f1.8 will be faster than 16-35 f4 or f2.8 . And prime lens are lilttle bit sharper too.

This isn't the 35mm OSS. It's the full frame 35mm f/1.8 that doesn't feature OSS

Thanks bud 🙌🏻

Thanks for sharing your view. Respectfully, I disagree though. I built a successful photography business that now employs 5 people and between us we own 1 GM lens. Quality is important, of course, but blindly buying GM lenses isn't at all necessary to be successful. There are plenty of cheaper lenses that are good enough (some even on par with GM glass) to allow you to capture brilliant images and make a living.

@@TomCalton Totally accept your disagreement. And what you are saying is totally reasonable. My opinion is looking at things that way is why there is a lot of sub par "professional" photography out there. Compared to most start up businesses starting a photography business is relatively cheap. No reason to buy "good enough" when it's a professional investment. And if you are chasing quality and striving to get the best results it's cheaper to get the top of the line glass in the first place. I've wasted thousands on budget or 3rd party lenses that always had some type of sub par performance or negative aspect that I eventually caused me to buy the more expensive lens anyways.

@@NickDelDuca that maybe is correct if it comes to Photography but for me as a filmmaker its a different situation. Today many people consume media on their Smartphones and you must have eagle eyes to tell any difference. Also im Film gear does NOT matter 😉

@@TomCalton thank you for this

Respectfully, I submit that respecting women is not related to the amount of clothing they are wearing. Similarly, being attracted to a person or showing them as attractive does not preclude showing them respect.

Am I in the twilight zone and living back in the 17th century? Are you a photographer, or are you the porn police? Apparently you are unaware that today's very modern and super innocent children who managed to escape abortion somehow, are occupying themselves with carnal knowledge in the back of school buses every single day. Kids are getting pregnant at 10 and 11 years old by their classmates. That's what's going on in our wonderful modern day society. So I surely do not think what Tom showed in this video would be shocking and horrifying to anyone, including a 10 year old. And since I shoot for Playboy and Penthouse and Victoria's Secret, I take offense to your remarks.

Go on, I'll bite. Please explain, how do I lose credibility by showing real world examples of what you can achieve with these lenses?

Tom gives every type of example possible. With and without editing. If you wanna pixel peep, there are a bunch of sites for that. Keep up the good work representing professionals in the youtube comment section. Im sure we are really happy with your leadership.

I like filters, it looks good
