I have a lot of respect for 85mm primes. They're fantastic for protrait photography, product photography, and maybe even landscape photography. I take a lot of photos at this kind of focal length, but do you need a lens like this for photography in the mountains? In this video I talk about whether I need what is typically considered a portrait lens... Also I get very wet walking around Snowdonia...

@CarolyneMacMillan 3 года назад

If you're wanting to shoot minimalistic type landscape shots a longer focal length makes it easier to pick out a small part of a scene with less in it than a wider angle that takes in much more. It's a good way to get your eye in if you're not used to shooting simple pared back images. Later on after a bit of practice you can use whichever focal length you need for your subject.

I appreciate that despite you using primarily one make and system of camera, your videos are more about technique that can apply to any system. Even a "review" such as this was more about strengths and weaknesses of different kinds of lenses rather that a review of a specific lens.

@reinhardtdebeer5132 3 года назад

I like using my portrait lens once in a while instead of just using my wide angle at every landscape shoot, limits me in a way and changes things up a bit. I usually pull out my portrait when I find nothing interesting in the landscape in front of me. Great video!

@TheAccidentalPhotographer 3 года назад

I've been using the 85mm 1.8 Nikon Z for landscape & woodland photography these past few weeks and have been really pleased with the results - have a 50mm on order for those instances where 85mm is a little bit too zoomed in but I just really like the results and the fact I get the low-light performance given I can't currently afford the 14-24 or 24-70mm 2.8

@forneverarrow 2 года назад

I understand your points about DoF. I am using only one Lens for years now, the ZEISS Planar 1.4/50 on my Canon APSC DSLR (80mm equivalent) for everything. I am shooting mainly cityscapes and landscapes. There’s a unique feel in that focal length, not wide yet not too much narrow! But in order to achieve a good DoF I am usually using aperture values south of f/5.6… sometimes, especially if I shoot lower, I even need f/13! The f/1.4 of my lens is great for low light though and I even used it artistically with the addition of an ND1000 for long exposure and a very narrow DoF.

@bennyamst 3 года назад

@CamillaI 3 года назад

Just made a video on the Sony 135mm f1.8 GM for wildlife photography, ended up doing a few landscapes it can be surprisingly useful and incredibly sharp. Loved the video 👍😍

@kwchalky02 3 года назад

Good video. I agree. I have the Pana Leica 42.5mm F1.2 which I use (with my G9) for portrait and small venue indoor gigs where the low light capability / smaller depth of field and focal length is perfect. It's a brilliant lens. A beautiful lens. But for me it's only for these unique situations. For most of my landscape photography I use my 14-140 zoom, which covers a huge focal range (and I also carry my 7-14 for some wider shots). Neither of these are fast, but they don't need to be for what I'm shooting and the lightweight and compact characteristics of these two excellent MFT lenses are perfect for taking on a trek in the hills or a walk along the coast. But I agree the 85mm (full frame) focal length prime is great for certain situations. 👍

@JamesPopsysPhoto 3 года назад

Ahh I tried that f1.2 once, great lens :)

@JoachimSchlosser 3 года назад

@paultaylor5513 3 года назад

The depth of field (DOF) would not be razor-thin at F/1.8 at 85mm when shooting a mountain (which is far away) because DOF is a function of subject distance (and aperture and focal length). At 85mm and F/1.8 focusing on something 2000m away the DOF is from 127m to infinity.

@steveschnetzler5471 3 года назад

Those two "next" lenses are also on my list, especially the 24/25. I got a S1r a while back (at a good deal), and I used it for some morning & evening shots in the Dolomites last month. But my G9 went hiking with me most the time, hanging on my backpack strap with one of 3 favorite zoom on it (7-14, 24-60, and 45-200), and just a gorilla pod. None of them very fast, but light, weather sealed, and sharp enough. When you hike with an impatient wife, you must learn to be ready and shoot fast, or you spend a lot of time running after her.

@meganh1966 3 года назад

I think I love your videos so much is because you have the same luck as I do. I see so many photography videos where they just happen to have perfect conditions.

@borderlands6606 3 года назад

Someone has no doubt said it, in your comparison you said telephoto a few times before finally saying zoom. Which is obviously what you meant. I agree with you on zoom lenses for landscape, which is about what you leave out the frame as much as what you include. As the difference between a 24mm angle of view and a 70mm one might be a muddy 20 minute walk through a stream to the preferred viewpoint, a zoom is especially handy.

@paultaylor5513 3 года назад

That Sigma lens is an old model. The latest DG DN version is much smaller and lighter.

@MrJapanforce 2 года назад

If you want quality, you think of Panasonic. I use MFT Panasonic cameras since 2008. They re made like a tank. They re robust and more importantly, the reliability of theirs is second to none. Panasonic re the best. And the 85mm (and more...) is the perfect focal length for out of ordinary mood in photography

Love my 85mm but I definitely prefer to use my 70-200 2.8 for landscape for is flexibility but then weight does come into play but in the scheme of things it’s just an additional Kg at the end of the day so can live with that.

@thephotographist2624 3 года назад

You really should try Sigma's MFT f1.4 trio of lenses in low light. As for landscape photography, I regularly use portrait and telephoto lenses because I'm disabled and can't walk to my locations; I'm limited to where my 4x4 can carry me. Also, I've never allowed myself to be ruled by convention, which lens is for what subject, so for sixty-two years I've just used whichever lens gave me the image I wanted.

@Martin-nu6ym 3 года назад

Maybe you should try the L-mount Sigma 105 macro? It is f/2.8 but you get flat-field sharpness.

@RealRaynedance 3 года назад

If you ever really needed an 85mm f/1.4, Sigma's dedicated mirrorless 85mm f/1.4 isn't too much bigger than the f/1.8 in this video. Twice as expensive and weighs 630g, though. (Weight doesn't bug me but you did say it's important to you.) I don't know why Panasonic sent you the adapted DSLR version.

@michelslangen6633 3 года назад

@JamesPopsysPhoto 3 года назад

@culinarykid92 3 года назад

With all due respect James, at 8:16 you would be right IF they were both used on the same sensor camera. But a f/1.7 lens for micro four-thirds is equivalent to a f/3.5 full frame lens. So your bigger f/2.8 lens is actually a half stop brighter. To be fair though, the weight and size difference are still big. I still agree with all your points though. Just want to make sure people have the correct info. For example, if the micro four-thirds Panasonic 35-100 f/2.8 was equivalent to a full frame 70-200 f/2.8, instead of a f/5.6, the size, weight, and price savings would have flipped me to Panasonic years ago.

@bencushwa8902 3 года назад

I am personally not a huge fan of huge, expensive, modern primes that are "perfectly sharp, wide open, corner to corner". I don't see the point. If I'm shooting wide open, chances are that I'm going for subject isolation or shallow depth of field, which means that my corners will be out of focus anyways. Why do I care if they're sharp? If anything, I prefer older primes specifically because they're soft in the corners wide open. Finer detail rendering in the center, sure, I can definitely see the benefits there, especially with higher and higher resolution cameras. But this corner sharpness thing? Not so much. But that's just me. Great video, sorry about your luck in the field this time.

@thedavidbrother2 3 года назад

Agree up to a point. The benefit of having everything sharp is you can then blur out the parts you want in post... Depends on your style.

@bencushwa8902 3 года назад

@@thedavidbrother2 I think you missed my point. You can't have everything in a scene sharp unless your entire scene is in focus, and you can't have your entire scene be in focus unless you're stopped down or shooting a flat subject. See the problem? Physics is working against you. You can't over-engineer a lens make something that's out of focus render more sharply.

Did I leave a comment on the last one? I can't remember. Same old, same old, I'm just so busy I've not got the time to leave one this week. Next one.... Possibly 🤞😊🙏

Have you considered second hand camera bodies? Do you always buy brand new?

@JamesPopsysPhoto 3 года назад

i've bought plenty of bodies second hand - lots of bargains out there :)

It's really weird how some geographic locations can totally screw up your sense of direction ! Oh yeah was going to say, try and get yourself the Panasonic 70-200f2.8, it's a bit good. Ps if you don't try the Sigma 85f1.4 you're denying yourself something very good indeed.

Great video. But more importantly, why did someone build a ladder over a wall right besides gate in said wall? Was this a Trumpian prototype? What's the point of the wall? Is there a plan to string barbed wire over the ladder but then dig a tunnel under the wall?

haha, no idea!

Well, learing the Sony menu would take a lot patience and time. At least for die A7III

I’m not liking this Snowdonia stuff, I don’t know the peaks at all so enjoyed those, but I felt like I knew Snowdonia pretty well, but in the last few videos haven’t a clue on where you are when there...

That makes 2 of us! :)
