85mm is fine with a professional model. With regular people, less comfortable with having a camera pointed at them, 135mm is brilliant. You get to stand back and people act much more naturally.

@IreneRudnyk 7 месяцев назад

85 is already pretty far back, I disagree.

@josephpeppard561 Год назад

Gorgeous portraits Irene. I too love the 135mm focal length for portrait photography. It can be challenging to use but the results are stunning and worth it.

@hectorsantiago8221 Год назад

Your style is just 🔥! Amazing work as always! 💪🏻

@sols9449 Год назад

One thing you could do with the 135 better than an 85 is that if you’re in a place where you have a lot of busy backgrounds that you don’t want to include but you want to isolate a certain part of the background maybe some flowers on the tree maybe some leaves coming off of a tree maybe you’re in a parking lot but there’s one specific spot that looks nice this happens all the time as an event photographer who has to shoot portraits places that aren’t exotic and beautiful using a 135 or even better a 200 mm from I 70 to 200 helps to isolate those patches and create portraits that don’t seem like they are in the place that you are actually in. Also the compression that you got from the 135 or the 200 mm from a 70 to 200 is very unique and creates an image that clearly cannot be hard on an iPhone it just looks very professional.

@michaelcliffordphotos Год назад

I love, love, LOVE shooting 135 1.8. It's the lens I use most often. My camera and 135 1.8 have a very close, loving relationship! I think most of my favorite photos are ones I've done with that lens too. I love my 85 1.4 and 50 1.2 as well,, but they don't excite me as much as the 135 does. There's a 3-dimensional look to the 135's images that I don't see with any other lens, On the other hand, if I don't have a lot of space, the 135 isn't a very good choice.

@AdrianWilsonBridders1234 Год назад

I’ve found that the 105 mm F1.4 Art the ideal focal length for me, it offers a nice sweet spot between the 85 and the 135

@MrBraveTurtle Год назад

I agree 100%, both Canon and Sony need to come out with this lens!!!!

@kenschwarz8057 Год назад

I preferred the 85mm examples here, part because I think the 135mm has too much compression for this sort of portraiture. But technically, they look to perform at the same level at least in this video. Thank you for this great demonstration!

Irene we just love your work!! And your approach!! You make any lens a dream ❤

@UnconventionalReasoning Год назад

While the 85-105mm range is used most often, the 200mm f/2 is simply sublime. Using it for outdoor photos like the first ones on the path, the background becomes painted colors. I tend to stay closer to the subject, almost filling the frame with a full length or even a upper-body framing. Even with city portraits, there the combination of soft yet discernible provides context while keeping the attention on the subject.

@TariqHasanAnjan Год назад

once u shoot with the 200mm there is no going back and u see urself not complaining about weight anymore :3

@Tap-a-roo Год назад

Honestly anything 200 f2 and up you can’t compete with bokeh and rendering.

@c2ranger Год назад

These shots are amazing. I’ve been waiting to see real world work with the MK2 and the RF135mm

@derbagger22 Год назад

I agree. For couples, get them and blur out the backgrounds with the 1.2 of the 85mm. I do love the compression and how everything looks around a focal object with a 135 and the 1.8(or 2.0 for us poor EF adapted guys) is low enough to still get images that are stunning.

@Capcity44 Год назад

These are gorgeous images and really inspiring. I prefer the 135 rendering, especially for backgrounds. My 135mm is manual, so I don't use it as much as I would like.

@seasterl 9 месяцев назад

I had the EF 85 f/1.2 and thought the DOF was too shallow for closer shots. The eyes would be in focus but nose and ears out of focus. So I used the 135mm for tighter shots and 100mm for waist/bust shots. When I switched to RF, I got the 50 f/1.2 and 135 f/1.8 but got the 85 f/2 macro for those few macro shots I do. I would have preferred a 100mm f1.4, but figured it’ll be a while before Canon makes it and that’s why I got the 135mm. The 50mm does whole body with nice separation and 135 for tighter shots. For more than one person in the shot (or for events), I just use the 70-200 f/2.8. These RF lenses are so sharp and perform so well that I thought about just using the 70-200 and 50 1.2 (with R5), but I still have a soft spot for primes from back in the FD and EF Mount days. Thanks for a great comparison video! I think most all of those shots would have been better suited with a 50mm, and comparisons with the lenses you selected should have been limited to bust or tighter. It doesn’t make sense to stand so far away unless doing events or if model prefers it.

@justinholding02 Год назад

Another great video Irene. I used to absolutely love my EF 135 F2, but I found it reached it's limitations once I got the R5, so I got the RF 85 1.2. which we all love. Got to admit though, this newer version looks stunning as well as being a fair bit cheaper than the 85. Good job Canon

Love your images. I have the 85mm but if the 135mm was out back then, I'd say 135mm is more my style. 135mm and 50mm combo would be wicked to have for portraits

@SummersSnaps Год назад

This is actually my combo for event work. I find that the 135mm instrumental to give some breathing space for some shots, speakers or candid, its nice to have that reach and space rather than getting too close with an 85. But the 85 is more versatile overall, but I can't justify really keeping both in my bag so it becomes a 50 and 135 combo.

@DanielFazzari Год назад

Yes, also a great combo for events as another viewer mentioned.

@MarcS4R Год назад

@@SummersSnaps i am considering the 135 for events, i already have the 70-200 but i feel that the 135 will give a nicer subject isolation

@Tegneaufreak Год назад

The 85 and 135 are very similar. Your shots will look almost the same. Most people won't see the difference. The 135 just makes you stand further away.

@SummersSnaps Год назад

@@Tegneaufreak Yeh, I think the main choice between the two is whether when snapping certain people appreciate additional breathing room. I find the 135 nice for that at events with speakers etc, instead of composing for the same shot and kinda entering their personal space.

@Creative_Squad Год назад

Your portraits are so good! By the way i think it would be easier for you to hold a bigger lens if you hold camera your camera with right arm up like other way, i think its more stable grip

@deebea6364 Год назад

Speaking from Experience with my EF lenses.... the 135 actually replaced using a 70-200 for me - it was lighter, faster and sharper, and with a crop you got closer to that 200mm anyway.., I think both 85 / 135 can be amazing portrait lenses, and would have loved to have seen you do a few shots with a closer / more headshot style portrait, and heard your opinions on how you felt the lenses were for closer portrait shots - I find each lens can suit different faces better

135 1.8 it is just pure magic, easly eats 85 1.2 in terms of bokeh, but we have to choose how much compression do we need, and working distance. As usually top video

Hey Irene, I am still waiting for my RF 135mm to ship. I am still rockin the EF version. It's my favorite lens and hardly leaves my camera. I use it mostly for weddings along with my 35mm and 50mm. I have never used a 85mm. I think I would prefer the closer distance to the couples but my 135mm is my only telephoto since I dont own the 70-200. Thanks for sharing your test. Always love your art, so beautiful!

@rodneyturnerphoto Год назад

I think it's a great lens to have. I'd consider using it if I wanted to pull in the environment closer to subject due to compression.

@ricardobatista4371 Год назад

Hi Irene! You have an amazing and inspirational style. Congrats! One minor but an important comment about your comparison that I consider could confuse some viewers. I took your pictures as an example around 6:30. You have exposed the 85mm by 1/250, ISO 100 F/1.2. The exposure for the 135mm was 1/200, ISO 100 F/1.8. The result is a slightly less exposure picture using the 135mm. You comment that the 1.2 provides you this extra juice of ligth. However, to get the same amount of ligth in 1.8 that you have using 1.2, you need to "recover" 1 stop. By reducing the shutter speed from 1/250 to 1/200, you recovered 1/3. To achieve the same exposure and keeping the shutter speed at 1/200, the correct ISO should be 160. I suppose the noise resulted would be less than recover the exposure in post. Hugs from Brazil from a huge fan.

@@cristirenault Release of Z85 f1.2 is almost imminent. Soon there will be side-by-side comparisons of RF85 f1.2 and Z85 f1.2. Looking at the current pre-release Z85 f1.2 reviews (albeit with limited approach, whereby reviewers cannot show 1:1 zoomed pictures), I can already tell you that the Z85 will have nearly impeccable image quality. Also, It can already be seen that the focus mechanism in it is silent, as opposed to RF85 f1.2

@cristirenault Год назад

@@Jawad.1 They where already compared one to one. As I said, both are equally extraordinary good.

@ryancooper3629 Год назад

Imo both are incredible lenses but my two cents is that the 85 is a superior choice for most. I have a 135 1.8 in my kit and while I love it, I still use 85 far more often due to space constraints. I feel 85 is just the perfect portrait focal length. It isn’t ideal for all situations but I feel it is phenomenal in the widest variety of them of any prime. Id love to see canon make a 105 1.4 R, i think that could really give the 85 1.2 a run for it’s money.

@erniebrandt9762 Год назад

Do you think there would be any advantage to using the 135 f/1.8 for tighter portraits/head shots? I don’t know, just wondering. It looks like they’re both very similar, while the 85 f/1.2 requires less room to work with and is also a bit better in low light. I don’t own either lens, but if I had to choose I’d probably get the 85, because if I want longer focal lengths the 70-200 f/2.8 isn’t bad for portraits. I have the RF 50 f/1.2 and absolutely love it, but since I don’t shoot portraits professionally I haven’t been able to justify getting the 85 f/1.2. Most of my hobby work is landscapes and a bit of wildlife/birds.
