In this video @carlo.obrien and I compare two prime lenses (Canon RF 35mm 1.8 and EF 100mm F2.0) to a single zoom lens (Tamron 35-150mm f2.8-4.0). Hope you guys enjoy this one!

@Long Johnson It's not just a matter of being able to shoot in low light, it's about being able to shoot extremely shallow DOF for a different look altogether. There is a very big difference between an 85mm shot at f/1.2 and f/2.8, for example.

When you start shooting primes, you just don't go back to zoom lenses. Primes are just so much sharper.

@antdx316 3 года назад

It depends on the persons style. Originally, I got into photography/videography to capture examples of what Should be seen. Reach, macro, wide-angle, bokeh, AF performance can lead you to select the perfect lens for your task. You can't reach with a 20mm, you can't wide-angle with 200mm. You can't have great portraits unless you smear the background out with f/1.8 and say 135mm. You can't take photos of insects or things super super small unless you have a Macro lens. You can't take a great interior or Huge building exterior w/ little room to stand back unless you are say 14mm. I got a lens for Every single purpose. I used to have cases for Each lens until I got so many I just put them all in 1 bag. I used to carry only 1 lens in a backpack but you are limited to what it does best. I have 2 gimbals for video, a slider, and a Jib. I hardly use any of them anymore. I also have many drones as you need to be able to capture in the air.

I love primes but as I find myself frequently shooting beach portraits, changing lenses on a windy day can expose your camera and lens to a lot more sand problems than if you just left one lens on the whole time.

@kanarie93 2 года назад

a open zoom lens like most will also expose the internal parts as they move out into open air, thats why i would prefer a closed zoom, but unfortunatly they are barely made. The 200-600 being closed zoom pulled me to the sony system as new buyer.

Primes and zooms both have their place. In the past I would say clearly primes were superior, but with some of the new glass designs on the market these days the zooms are incredible.

@ThreeCeeProductions Год назад

On a studio shoot I’d go primes for ultimate quality. For weddings and events where you don’t have time to switch I use zooms. A trade off based on time between shots to get the photos.

@joylox Год назад

In my experienced, getting used prime lenses, even ones that are 10 years old, are just as good as the new ones. But zoom really suffers when you go with anything older. The exceptions in my experience (with Canon EOS R and RF adapter) is that the Canon EF 50 1.2 L is horrible on new cameras (I went with Sigma 50 1.4 instead) and the Canon EF 70-200 2.8 L is pretty much the same as their new RF version, just a bit heavier and a tiny bit slower to focus. But anything else, go new for zoom and used for prime.

@lexentwistle413 2 года назад

I feel like to described what to get first a little backwards by saying to shoot zooms and then move into primes. I may be an outlier, but I started on a shoe-string budget and found that primes were the more affordable choice for getting those wider apertures that made my photographs look more professional. Then, as I acquired more money, I was then able to afford the Trinity of 16-35, 24-70, and 70-200 at 2.8 that would cover most common focal lengths but still provide a nice shallow depth of field at 2.8. I can’t tell you how many hired shoots I did with just a nifty fifty 1.8 over 4 years as I saved my money for the trinity. That being said, I did really love letting friends or family use my gear and when they ask how to zoom, needing to explain that they can walk forward or back. Good video though. I enjoyed the perspective from you.

@ten-tonnetongue 2 года назад

Can't go wrong with an 85mm. I also like the idea of keeping an 11mm or a 16mm in there, too. I think the best lens for first-timers is a 50mm, especially over any Zooms. Zooms are better for filming, in my opinion. For photos, primes are where its at. Be sure to do your math if you have a cropped sensor. Zooms are much more versatile if you need to constantly change focal lengths but that takes a bit more complex strategy and isn't really suitable for first-timers. I think it is better to develop an eye for one focal length at the beginning because it forces you to learn what f-stops are and how to compose properly rather than simply getting your subject in frame.

I can only tell low light, this lens is versatile but very bad in low light. Indoor events i could scream and now I bought the 85 1.8 too for more light and it’s way smaller. Got the 35 1.8 too and will sell my sigma i guess after buying a 24 1.8

@@escooterpovaustria6699 ~ I bought a 24mm f1.4 recently, and I was SOOO excited about it! Unfortunately it was the worst buy I've ever made. . .I expected sharp, popped subjects with dreamy, creamy bokeh in the background. What I got was (even when shooting wide open at f1.4) a shot that looked as if it was taken with a 50mm at f5.6 ~ NO creamy bokeh backgrounds!!! :( I honestly think the 24mm lens is a waste of money, if like me you shoot people. If you are a landscape photographer, it might work for you. I sold mine within one week of buying it!

@escooterpovaustria6699 Год назад

@@lynettelove191 hey lynette:) happy that you ask / I try to help as much as I can. 24 1.4 must be a beast, but its not that easy to use. Things like distortion if you get close would be annoying for me. And 1 thing, only cause you buy 1.4 doesn’t mean you always use on 1.4 / this number tells only the quality of light and sometimes it just for high range people if you buy the originals. Your right, some of these people use it for landscape, but a lot for people too. But not that way you maybe you have looked for. If you really want that bokeh monster you should get a 85MM. You must only know if you always have that space. That was my problem cause i only wanted own 1 single lens where i can do all my paid jobs like event, portrait and street photography. I was already leaning more to 45-35 cause with this lens you can get the whole scene and still if you want nice bokeh you can get nearer without a big distortion. After having this one for a long time I could afford a second one that was the sigma 24-70 2.8 / I only bought it cause a videographer told me this is the GO lens for paid works. He was right but not totally. I had bokeh, but still for my option not enough, and the low light. I had big trouble at my last event cause it was light like in a cinema without light 🤣 just some spots where with lights. This made me buying a 85 1.8 It’s a great lens now for low light situations and it was close a 3rd price of that sigma. But if you have no space to stand away far enough (~3m) you are Fckd. So choose yourself and check my photos on insta :D I often used the hashtags of the focals @shotbytad 👋

@charleshill506 9 месяцев назад

Why would you think that a prime lens at x mm is any different then a zoom lens at the same focal length? Modern zoom lenses are so sharp you would have to use a magnifying glass to see any difference in a very large print. It's not like in the '70's when zoom lens were decidedly inferior. Any difference in the photos will be differences in exposure. Or maybe the lens you are comparing are not of similar quality.

GREAT! It was super helpful to hear about thinking in terms of focal lengths. I am new to photography and just purchased a Sony a6400 and Tamaron 17-70mm (24.5-105 full frame). You nailed my thoughts exactly when you said for beginners to buy a zoom lens and experiment with various focal lengths. I did not know that I can use Ligthroom to help determine which one I seem to be using more often. One big reason I bought the 17-70 was the constant F2.8 focal length but I can already tell that I would like to have a lens with F1.8 or 1.4 handy.

Canon R6 and a 20mm 1.4 Sigma Art

@michaelbell75 2 года назад

Ive been a prime lens only shooter for 17 years but zooms have gotten much better recently. I sold my R6 and RF primes and switched to Sony primarily for the upcoming Tamron 35-150 f/2-2.8 Its going to be a prime lens killer, will replace 5-6 primes and have some awesome features like the focus set button. Using the Tamron 70-180 f/2.8 right now and love it.

@TwinSquidzLLC Год назад

Latest Sigma e mount 60/600mm is the true prime killer.

@joylox Год назад

That explains a lot actually. I've tried a lot of older, used and adapted lenses from EF to RF for the R and R7, and the fixed ones seem to hold up much better. My favourites being the Sigma 50 1.4 and the Canon 100 Macro. The only zoom lens that held up to a 30MP+ camera that I tried was the 70-200 f2.8, which is known as one of the best Canon lenses, and for good reason. I was really surprised that the Canon EF 50 1.2 was one of the worst lenses I tried with the RF adapter, and that little tiny lens had so much praise when it came out. That's why I love having an in-person store that sells used gear, so I could trade things in and try out lenses on my own camera in person, and get a feel for what it's like before buying it. My dad sticks to Canon L series everything, but they're not always the best choice in my opinion when Sigma, Tamron, and others make great quality lenses. The only downside to me sticking with the R series is that they all need the adapter. But that came with my camera, so it's no big deal to me, as long as I know where it is (usually I keep it on my 50, and swap it as needed).

@lukasvandewiel860 6 месяцев назад

While the zoom lenses have indeed gotten much better, the prime lenses also got much better. They have tons of corrections and their sharpness is insane. The implies your prime lens can effectively zoom by cropping, and you will have the same sharpness as the zoom lens zoomed in, although admittedly you will not make the 35-150 range.

Prime all the way!!! Just got the R last month and now purchased the Tamron 35 1.4, now I’m saving for Samyang 85 1.4.

@GamerDaPeter 3 года назад

Sigma 85 1.4 is also great

@cameron3116 3 года назад

that’s the exact kit i am buying right now

@olofmeisterrx5963 3 года назад

the sigma 85 1,4 dg dn is better than the samyang. I know it costs a little bit more but there is a significand difference between both. It is really fucking sharp and has a much faster AF. I mean the sigma is on the same level like the sony but way cheaper and a little bit lighter.

@troycuenca 3 года назад

@@cameron3116 yes, I was rooting for the Samyang RF version. That Sigma works if you have the adaptor.

Weird that you posted this a day ago, as I was looking for videos on this exact topic over the last couple of days. Also, I think it's madness you put your lens on the ground with no caps on.

@CloudyBaska 3 года назад

50mm USM or 50 mm STM ?

@thispak 2 года назад

If I had to choose the one lens to use for the rest of my life, I'm gonna stick with my Sony 35mm f1.4 GM prime lens for all situations. In my personal opinion, it's the most versatile prime lens available. Better than the 50mm because it's too tight for indoor shots such as events or real estate photography and it's a better option than the 24mm because it's too wide. The 35mm f1.4 can get the job done in any situation, you just have to move around more.

@ProfFrank 2 года назад

I agree. When I was shooting film back in the 70s-90s, the 35mm was my favorite "normal" lens, because it frequently let me "get it all in" when in close situations. That doesn't mean I wouldn't switch it out for an 80mm when I could, but my Rokkor 35 was a champ.

@photographsdaily33 2 года назад

I get kinda confused by this because i have a 24mm lens but my camera crops it to make it about 38 I think and I think its good for most situations! But when people say 35mm I'm like is that cropped or.. 🤣

@photographsdaily33 2 года назад

@@thispak thanks for replying! Ohh I see! Okay so my 24mm would be quite similar then, in that case I absolutely agree with it being the best lens for multiple situations! 😋

@denniscornelisse341 3 года назад

It's always good to have some primes for a shoot with a model, instead of a zoom.

@jtravelz8197 Год назад

Is EOS RP worth it or NIKON Z5 is a better option?

@backyardwindow 3 года назад

I like primes, but the ability to dial in your background more perfectly on a zoom can be a big advantage you didn't mention. Sometimes you just can't move yourself and subject in the perfect position when limited to a few primes.

@ascelot 2 года назад

other advantage of primes, depending on lens, is they tend to be more sharp, especially around the edges, have less chromatic aberrations and nice bokeh

@Stasiek_Zabojca 2 года назад

@@ascelot But if you can't get perfect framing and you end up cropping photo to get it right, you will end up with lower resolution and less sharpness at the end.

@samadcpp4080 3 года назад

Excellent photography and comparison. Recently I brought m50 with 18-45mm lens additionally I brought sigma 30mm do I need to buy Canon EF-M 55-200 lens ? Actually I don’t shoot telephoto. Please advise..

@Purposefullguy 3 месяца назад

Don't get me wrong, I am having a doubt that f1.4 has very shallow focus depth then how can we focus a full body (head to toe), I cannot focus even from head to waist with my 55-200mm variable aperture nikon lens at f/4. In this video the subject is nice and crisp, how is that! I am an amateur photographer, so please help me figure it out.

@Afslv Год назад

Can you show the difference between Canon 35mm f1.8 with settings ( f4.0 ) and Tamron 35-150mm f2.8-4.0 with settings ( 35mm , f4.0 ) Will the pictures be the same?

@dkcoffee47 2 года назад

I have been trying to decide which lens I wanted but after viewing your video , I am leaning towards the prime lens to fit my needs!

@lavapedunordarticlesdevapo8495 3 года назад

I find the modern high-end zoom-lens to be of such quality that the gap between Prime vs Zoom is being very narrow now unless you go with a crappy entry-level zoom or kit lens. That's why my current bag consist of: - Tamron 24-70 F2.8 VC G2 - Canon RF 70-200 F2.8 IS - Samyang 85mm F1.4 The only reason I bought the Samyang was for the F1.4 and have my "official portrait lens" as otherwise I can have the 85mm into the 70-200mm already, and F2.8 ain't that bad already but also that prime Samyang is sooo lightweight and fun to use.

Hey Mitch one question I have is where do you get ideas for poses? I’ve been doing photography for a while and I understand the camera settings and what focal length to use and everything but I’m having trouble telling my clients what poses to do.

@lifewithoutborders1348 3 года назад

find good models....its harsh, but a model who knows what to do and if shes beautiful you jo as a photographer becomes much easier...specially if you are new to portraits..models can pose on their own as they know their good angle and all...after working with shitty models ..i just decided to work with beautiful models and little experienced atleast....so when i give them instructions and tell them what i want they immediately get it...Dont underestimate the power of Mood Board
