I used to run a 24mm + 85mm prime combo, than I sold them for a 24-70, after that I got a better 85. I bought a bunch of lenses(200-600, 35-150) and I'm now again looking at the 24mm... What a rollercoaster

I shoot Fuji and bought a 16-80mm for an overseas trip. I sold my 18-55 because I thought I needed the extra reach. However, I soon realized that I went wider rather than longer: I was constantly shooting 16mm. For travel, it is ideal: indoor shots in restaurants, cityscapes and architecture, it doesn't fail. After the trip I immediately bought a 16mm prime and absolutely love it for street photography. Great video, thanks.

The 24 is my only GM lens. The way it shows a lot of the scene but at the same time doesn't have that wide look by staying mostly undistorted and introducing more bokeh than the eye expects at such a wide angle gives it such a unique look. If I had to pick one lens forever, it would be a zoom but if I was asked for my favorite lens, it would be the 24 1.4 GM.

I’ve had the 24mm GM and the 85mm GM as my only lens. While the rest are either borrowed or rented to play with. Often times I end up taking for granted how powerful my 24mm is usually after playing with another lens. If you can do one of the 85mm or 50-55mm for entry photographers who really wants to do portrait bokeh (some do consider bokeh as overrated but it still will always serve a purpose), that would be cool Pat. Or doing with a more niche mm explanation would be awesome as well. My goal is to be the minimalist nomad photographer for as much utility/versatility with the least amount of lens for my particular style.

I’ve been considering getting a 24mm for sometime now-preferably, the EF 24mm F1.4 L II, for specific reasons-but I am sceptical about “pulling the trigger” because I’m unsure of how I will compose with it. I am a boudoir photographer [primarily], but I also shoot landscapes, products-on my downtime-and even weddings throughout the year. So, what do you think? I’m conflicted about my decision… 😅 Current Lens setup: Canon RF 24-105mm F4 L, Canon RF 70-200mm F4 L, Canon RF 50mm F1.2 L, Sigma 35mm F1.4 (Art), and Viltrox 85mm F1.8 RF. Current Camera setup: Canon EOS R, & Canon EOS R6.

Hey Pat, great video. I use my 24GM in crop mode all the time on my A1 too. One thing you said is that that the 1.5x crop applies to the focal length and aperture, but my understanding is that it ONLY affects the focal length. The Aperture remains f1.4. Additionally, if you are shooting jpeg, you can do use Sony Clear Image zoom and get another 2x on top of that if you need making it very versatile.
@rexykoh6010 Жыл бұрын
It is true that the Aperture remains 1.4 on paper, but if you're in crop mode you have to step back a bit in order to fit your frame or subject to that cropped 24mm(equals to 36 something mm) focal. With that said, if you step back from a subject, your bokeh blur gets slightly clearer as if that f1.4 is equal to an f2.1. I hope that makes sense, and also CMIIW.

I opted for the 35GM and the 20G. Such a lovely combo. But passing up on the 24GM was not an easy choice. I was very close to grabbing that one, but I love the 20G too much to get a lens that would make me question which of the 2 to use. I still might own the 24GM later on down the road.
@chadaztig07 Жыл бұрын
The biggest decision why i took the 24mm 1.4gm lens is that my a7rv has 61mp and i assigned a button to toggle between full frame and apsc. That literally gave me the capability to swap between 24mm and 36mm. Its as if i had 2 prime lenses in just 1 go. Its probably the smartest decision i have ever made haha... I was laughing at the store when i realized this 10min before i was about to buy. I was like oh shit. That was genius. Its not my fave focal length but its my smartest decision in purchasing.

What do you think of this lens vs the 35mm which you previously ranked higher on your tier list video? I was thinking of getting the 35mm equivalent for APS-C since "it just works". Very similar to how a shooting portraits with 50mm feels to me. Just shoot something decent and it would automatically turn awesome. 24mm looks so good when you get it right but feels like it has a much steeper learning curve for a beginner like me. It's hard to take a photo of something without it turning out to be like something the average person would just take with their phone. In the rare chance that I do get that one photo, it does really look like a work of art. I was almost set on getting the Sigma 16mm (24m eq.) on the APS-C but I'm now a bit hesitant after messing around with my kitlens and more than half the photos not looking how I wanted it to be.

Great video! Just consider the fact that the focal lenght "conversion" doensn't affect the f-stop at all when using the APS-C mode on a FF camera or even using it on an APS-C camera. In fact, the only thing that's actually changing is how much of the viewing angle the camera capture of that original focal, because the distortion and so on keep being the same. If it's a 24mm, it will be a 24mm, but just with a cropped viewing angle.
@bryangarciafilms Жыл бұрын
as the subject moves closer or further away from the lens, the depth of field changes. it may not affect the f stop in terms of how much light is hitting the sensor but it does affect the depth of field. I think thats why some people do include the f stop in the conversion of ff to apsc

i know, but it also depends on how you think about it and want to communicate it. replicating the same field of view one vs the other will lead to a f2.1-like depth of field from f1.4, all things compariable. this is always on my mind whenever i'm using the mode because i'm thinking about the field of view in that way; just how i choose to talk about it i guess

It's a very different eye and mindset to shoot 24mm. I think I take for granted sometimes how hard it is to break out of that subject-priority tunnel vision, and shoot wider than 35mm well. If I hadn't forced the learning curve for framing things in and working a scene, rather than relying on my creative choices to help me exclude visual "clutter", I f never have levelled up my eye. It's easy to rely too much on bokeh, tight detail portrait framing, and even Black and White, etc. All that said: I have a lot of respect for people that can make anything wider than 35mm their do-it-all lens. 🙏

For my FX3 is use the 20mm 1.8g though, because with active steady shot it has a slight crop which actually brings me close to 24 and I get the smooth footage. 1.8 is also enough with the Sony for low light and bokeh is beautiful. 1.4 can be overkill unless you really want some serious separation. ✌🏻

Definitely underrated focal length and I'm glad you're making this point.

I like this video because I have just sold my Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 G2 for the Sony 24mm f1.4 GM lens. It is true that is prime lens is so versatile, and also good for beginers. Haha

What about 28mm? Wouldn't that be more versatile and still be able to do some landscape and architecture?

Thanks for the video, Pat! You are making some great points. But how come you don‘t mention any third-party lenses? Surely there must be some decent options, right?

I don't think Pat uses any third party lenses other than the Sigma 85mm. I could be wrong though. Sigma just released a 24mm f1.4 that's definitely worth looking into if its within your budget

Now that you've gotten a lot of use of the 24mm, would you say it's higher on your tier list than 35mm now? I'm a hobby photographer who got a 24-80 sigma lens for my Panasonic S5 because I was trying to do a one camera/one lens setup so that I wouldn't have to switch out lenses whenever I'm traveling. It's been nice not having to worry about switching lenses, but I agree with your notion that it does restrict movement and creativity. I'm starting to feel that curse lol. Right now I can't tell if the blessing of 1 lens is more/less than the curse of the creativity or moreso the lack of a 2nd lens that I could use for specific pictures like using a 35mm prime lens for portraits or street photography as you've done. Right now I'm satisfied with the images and bokeh coming out of the 24-80, but there's always the looming thought in the back of my head that if I get a prime lens, then I can get sharper images with creamier bokeh. I don't need it, but it would be nice. But at the cost of having to worry about 2 lenses from time to time. Been following your Instagram for some time and finally found your KZfaq. I can't wait to go home and watch more of your videos to help improve my craft. If you see this, then Youe thoughts/tips or perspective is appreciated! Thanks!

Been loving my new Canon 24mm RF. I've never had this low of an aperture with this focal length and I'm loving it. I still think 35mm is my walk around lens, but for landscapes and scenes like you showcased in this video, 24mm is unbeatable
@patkay Жыл бұрын
both of them are absolutely fantastic focal lengths! glad you're having fun with both :)
@zacx6970 Жыл бұрын
Can’t agree more. As an APS-C user, there’s no sessions that I never used my 13mm(20mm equivalent) that made me wow. This is probably the most versatile focal lengths. You can shoot close or even wide.

I was considering either a 24 or a 35 to add to the trifecta. I've used the 50mm for so long, I can tell what is the right distance for a wide shot or a tight shot. But with the 24mm, how close would you have to be to get something like this 4:07 ? 🤔
@patkay Жыл бұрын
pretty close! definitely around 1-2m i'd say. it's a great portrait lens in that respect because you can still be far enough away to take a portrait shot, but close enough to still communicate properly
