Thanks for the motivation MABO. Awesome looking shots and I especially like 0:42 with the lens 😍 Just as a tipp for anyone: Don’t forget to correctly set the focal length manually within the stabilization settings on the sony, so it doesn’t warp around when you use manual/vintage lenses. Menu, 2 Red menu (cam icon), 9 Image Stabilization, 3 Focal Length. I put that option onto the Fn button/menu for quick access when switching lenses!
Yep. Ive been shooting portraits, both photo and video, professionally for 20 years. I START at 50mm and will go out to 135mm. I prefer 85mm but 50 is great too. Some of my favorite videos were shot around 120mm. You can still get plenty of the background with a 50mm though, take a few steps back from your subject and shoot at f/4 or so instead of stopping down so much.
I shoot at 25mm in MFT, and that's equivalent to 50mm on full frame. I love that length. It's my favorite lens and I use it to shoot video most often. I love results
