HANDS DOWN the 2 lenses I CANNOT live without!  

You left out the focal length my friend.

Im dead xD

The laugh I just put down 😭😭

Hahaha

Yup, obviously not a photographer

50 1.2 for me. That lens doesn't come off my cam.

Amen the 50 1.2 and 70-200 2.8 are my go to duo. I stopped carrying my bag and only carry the 50 on me these days 🤣

50mm 1.2 definitely the sweet spot

Any 24-70 2.8

​@@idrisstdj A 24-70mm and 85mm are two lenses I couldn't live without doing portraits/weddings. I would love 50mm and 35mm primes, but the compromise would be having the 24-70mm and it gives me those focal lengths as well as 24mm for groups which is super useful. And serves double duty as a general purpose lens. But 24,35,50 mil primes are on my wish list. Already got so many lenses, need to pace myself.😆

Hope you find the right one soon😅

But 1% where?

@@agavaKostya Maybe he pulls out the 14mm f2.8 Rokinon for that specialty shot.

This made me laugh so much just imagining it 😂 ty

😆

😂😂

You shooting portraits of aliens with that 800mm bruh?

I swear by the 1200mm f0.8 prime

Go 135 🤘

@@heartshapedfilms 135 looks craaaaaaazzzzyyyyyy good!

@@MindYaBizz_Whiz love love love 135. Completely negates 70-200 for me. Just that sweet spot

I vibe the 50mm and 85mm combo, it's not as much difference in focal length, but the 50mm is kinda like "focused environmental" and the 85mm is just the true portrait length. Also it's easier to accidentally get wonky face effects with the 35mm vs the 50mm.

How about 135mm though??

@@arieldavid20 not my fav range. 85 and 105 are just the sweet spot I think. If I do need more compression for some reason I'd throw on a 70-200 F2.8 between the 105 and 200mm range. Give me more freedom in the exact amount of compression vs either a 135mm or 200mm prime. For me a bg bokeh with 2.8 is more than enough. And if I want even more blur, there's photoshop.

I’m debating whether or not to get the 85mm sigma vs gm 85mm. So you really like the sigma?

​@@jamessepulveda189 Bro sigma is really good.

does it get to heavy to carry around

@@hollywoodluxurymedia1044 its by no means light but it is manageable for a day

That made me actually laugh out loud 😂

Yeah that was hilarity lol

Yet Manny says he loves his Eye of Sauron... 🤔

I totally agree with you ! Hands down

Same

Totally agree.

Agreed!

Sans the prime lens magic.

Exactly. You're a better photographer because of that.

​@@matrixatebecause he's using 50 mm or? I'm deciding between 35 and 55 RN

​@@PuReXtremeGamingBecause if the 35mm. That lens is the number choice for learning and sets you up to add the 85mm. Gee...isn't that what Ortiz said? There's a reason why he mentioned it. If you had to choose for a first all around lens, the 35mm. If you want to take pictures of just people close up, then 85mm. 50mm is kind of in between. Tbh, there's no right or wrong answer, but with a good 35mm like the GM f1.4, it covers every situation better than the 50mm.

@@matrixate except your replied to a comment of someone saying they left 35 for 50 and enjoy both so it implies that going to a 50 made him better photographer that's how I saw what you comment wrote my understanding

@@PuReXtremeGaming Sorry bro. Conveying all my thoughts in a sentence, can be a bit challenging. What my reply implied was that he used a 35mm and discovered that he needed a lens with tighter framing. It doesn't mean he's a better photographer, it means that he was able to discern from his style of shooting that he typically goes tighter. You see...he couldn't have done that with a 50mm in smaller places, but he could with a 35mm. That's usually the case with everyone that gets a 50mm first...they find that they want tighter shots. However, people that go with a 50mm lens as their first lens typically find they need a wider lens. If that is the case, then the perfect combination is the 85mm. This is well-known to all professional photographer. Any pro photographer has a 35mm and an 85mm in their bag. Now, on the other hand, a 50mm marries up with a 24mm. The best option is to rent a 35mm and a 50mm. Seriously. If you really are into this, you'll make the small investment because a good lens...is not cheap. I say, the 35mm is better because you can take wider shots in small places. You can't do that with a 50mm. A 35 covers the 50mm field of view. The 50mm doesn't. The 35mm is more forgiving for shakiness. The 50mm is just a little more demanding of steadiness. This is especially true when filming video. Ok...that should be enough now. Any more information, I'll have to bill you.

Why not the 85mm f1.2 version?

I guess you only shoot portrait?

I have the v1. Love it except backlit, where it loses a lot of contrast.

good point

It's the babes

​@@daaljones9584 hahahah

for weddings yes, but not allways need light.

​@@daaljones9584they got some well stacked ladies in Chicago NGL.

It might be Devin Olson. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PrTyYvgil1k.html

It’s been a year.. did you ever get it?

@@CaliFamous funny that you ask, some stuff came in between (lost my job, life, but all good now) and I'm ordering it coming week 😂

Fancy lol

Get a 24-70 2.8 first and then get a good prime 35 or 85, in my opinion sigma art is the best value glass

Practise!
