For those who don't know, the above images are taken on full frame camera with 35mm and 55mm lens. For you to know how 35mm will look like on Crop(Aps-c) censor camera refer 50 mm photographs of the above video. 35mm is more or less within 52-56 mm on crop censor camera after crop factor.

@brahmabeharrysingh5287 4 года назад

Great video. Also saw the pics on the blog. Just the information and comparison I was looking for. I'm always juggling between my 35 and 50 in my street photography and I think I'm developing a slight preference for the 35. But the question lingers about whether it's too wide (as I've been told) for portraits. From this vid I see there's no real issue. Much thanks. And that model - Shanice - is just so enchanting!

I LOVE 35mm but using it for portraits can leave me wanting to grab longer lens for compression sometimes. To me, 35mm makes you work more for portraits and consider the surroundings more. That said, your work is amazing and you got one more subscriber here :)

@es0516 4 года назад

Love these comparison videos. I just bought a Sony a5100 and was debating which of these to go with. I've been using a 35mm f 1.8 on a Nikon D3200 for a couple years, I think I still prefer the 35mm over the 50mm, I like having more of the background in my images. And technically couldn't you just get a little closer to the subject with the 35mm to crop out more of the background for similar effect to the 50mm minus the stronger bokeh effect?

@royandescartes 4 года назад

it was refreshing to see this video.

@viciwo3396 9 месяцев назад

I do events indoors and 35mm lens is indispensable. Not too wide but you have to know how to move with you legs. It forces you to think about your composition. I'm trying to transition into all primes now. Thanks for another great video tutorial. Both lenses are great but if I was starting out, I will get a 35mm first before a 50mm lens. It's just a personal preference, not the rule.

@abhikaulavkar 4 года назад

I seen ur video till end & I found tat 35mm lens brought more drama adding surrounding. The images u shoot from 35mm keeping subject in centre are looks dramatic than 50mm. & if we talk about lens distortion, nowadays it can be easily resolved by post process editing techniques. In my opinion in this video I found results from 35mm more faithful. Thanks for comparison & sharing 🙏🏻👍

@samgao 4 года назад

I like the separation from the 35, and I just don't see the need for a 50 in my gear. I have a 16-35, 35, 70-200. Basically covers all my ground. I would like something that would isolate the subject a little more, so that sigma 135 f/1.8 seems to be poking at me, but then again... I may want something a little more discrete like a 400mm so I can stand WAY back haha.

@mikebray48 4 года назад

Hey Julia I shoot Nikon and absolutely LOVE my 50 mm F/1.8 it is amazing for portrait photography. I have to agree with what you said, even with Nikon, the 35 mm is better for editorial style photos and struggles with close up portrait shots. I owned a 35 mm for a bit and really didn't like the results I got from it, so I ended up selling it. I also found the Nikon 35 mm struggled and missed focus on more shots. I rarely miss focus on my 50 mm. Right now I shoot APS-C but switching to full frame in the next couple months, so I may but a 35 mm again plus an 85 mm just to do a comparison between the 3 lenses. But I will never give up my 50 mm

@robert_trombetta 4 года назад

If you shoot aps-c then the 50mm lens is actually a 75 for the effects of this video and your 35mm lens is actually a 50mm. This is because of the crop factor aps-c cameras have (1.5x or 1.6x if you have a Canon.)

@mikebray48 4 года назад

@@robert_trombetta oh I know...I still love how my 50 mm is even on the APS-C (Nikon D3200). But I am switching to full frame soon (buying a D850 and Z6) so I am excited to see the results I get with it and my other lenses on them.

Hi Julia, Does it have sense to own both the 50mm and the 35mm as well? As a beginner I am always struggling when I have more than one lens, since I constantly changing them to check whether the one or the other is better. It does not let me to focus on the more important parts: posing, lights, etc. I was thinking about to keep only one. What do u recommend? (I have a FF body )

@juliatrotti 4 года назад

To be honest, I only have a 50mm because it was one of my first prime focal lengths. In hindsight I would prefer to have a kit of just 35, 85 and 135 - I feel like all these lenses are different enough from each other that they get a lot of use. The 50 is very similar to both the 35 and 85 and even though I like using it for youtube videos I have considered selling it off as it really doesn't get enough use in my professional life!
