great video, I used to have this lens but I'm a prime fan and ended up selling it in the end. If you like your primes Jessica I highly recommend the canon 135mm f2 its amazing!!! I use it along with my 50mm 1.2L for fashion and general outdoor portraiture
Hi Jessica, will you do a workflow video especially how you proof images for printing, how you show the pictures to your clinets and what printing service do you use? Thanks!
85mm f1.2 it's the best. 70-200 is nice you will get more shots. The 85mm f1.2 when you hit its spectacular. 70-200 is for wedding ceremonies and for soccer. I would never shoot portraits with it. I own both. Just the reaction people give you when you use the 70-200 they feel intimidated.
The 24-70 (original version) was my first L lens 10 years ago...the cropped macros are actually amazing, a very sharp lens. Glad you're having fun with this...
I know it's been 2 years since this video was uploaded, but it helped me a lot with my decision. I use for portraits a lot my 50 f/1.8 that is really good but I wanted something new and also sharper. So I got myself a Canon EF 24-105 f4 L lens I love shooting outside with natural light after a whole bunch of reviews and this video I decided to order it. maybe tomorrow it will arrive.
Hi Jessica! Just wondering when you edit your wedding photos are you using photoshop or lightroom? How long does it usually take you to edit those wedding photos as well? Im hoping you do a workflow video on editing the recent wedding you did! 😃😇
I LOVE the edit of your fashion photos! I spend days and days and days searching tutorials of that kind of tones but I don't get that effect in my photographs. Maybe a tutorial of the 2:08 to 2:26 photographs? I absolutely love the tones and I need that tones in my photographs. Love your channel, you are an inspiration to me :)
ah i completely agree! when i first got the 24-70mm 2.8 I kind of freaked out because i was trying to use it for more portrait based shoots and it wasn't working out. Then i started using it at more event/fashion shoots and it was a godsend! Its also really great for traveling when you don't want to carry more than one lens since it works for everything! I still use the 50mm 1.2 and the 85mm 1.2 the most since I shoot mostly portraits but I'm so glad I invested in the 24-70mm. :) -Natasha
+Meghal and Natasha Heya! I just saw both of your websites and instagrams! so talented! thanks for writing this comment on Jessica's video because I found another photographer to follow and aspire to be. I shoot with a 85mm 1.8 and 50mm 1.4 and your portfolio is filled with awesome portraits. I've only been shooting portraits since October and as much as I want to get an 85 1.2, Im not sure which way to go with my lens purchases. Do I get a 24-70 like Jess or do I get a 35mm 1.4? Right now I'm doing TFP shoots and eventually I'd like to get paid haha. So, at the moment, I'm just doing portraits, but I'd like to start making money with senior pictures, then family portraits then weddings. I really want to do fashion portraits like you and Jessica do; I see you guys use a huge window for natural light, but do you use big strobes as well? Should I bother getting a 35 1.4 that costs $1300 or should I just get the 24-70 for several $$ more? I'm on instagram @kingrosalesphotography Your insight would be awesome!
+King Rosales Photography hello! If you're just starting out I wouldn't bother getting a new lens at all. Once you start doing paid work then i'd consider getting a new lens. I used the 50mm 1.4 for about 3 years before i considered upgrading (all of which i did client work with and i only upgraded because it started to break). If you do plan on getting into weddings, i'd say the 24-70 2.8 since its versatile. Yet, it is all up to you! I did weddings for a couple years and hated it so i still suggest waiting to buy a new lens until you start to do a lot more client work because you will get a feel of what you need. Even for the fashion stuff my sister and I do, we pretty much just stick to prime lenses. I use the 24-70mm for when i travel. I have the sigma art 35mm lens but i don't use it thatt much. As far as our lighting setup, we just shoot in front of a large window:) a couple of the photos we have done we used a large softbox but we haven't used that in a year or so because we just stick to window lighting. I hope this helps! -Natasha
it's a brilliant lens. you can see me using it on my Dark Desert photoshoot. It has prime quality at all zoom lengths. I've tested it against several primes and it holds itself strong with them all. it's costly but this lens plus a 70-200 2.8IS L (mark 1 or 2) is all you need. I've also got a 35 1.4 art as it's beautiful. those 3 lenses are all I could ever need.
It is a great lens and I use it also for wedding photos, Jessica i recommend you get the 85mm 1.2 II L, for your portraiture, you'll fall in love with, very sharp, and the bokeh is magnified, it's gonna be ur number 1 lens ;)
Great thoughts and relevant even in 2020. Loved the non technical practical review which is far more useful than some of those technical reviews using brick walls!
Although you said the bokeh isn't too prominent with this lens, the image at 2:00 looks great with that blurred background. This is the first time in about five years I've felt the need to get a new lens!
Hi Jess... I owned both this lens and the 50mm you spoke of...Ive since sold them and switched completely to Zeiss Prime lenses. This is a Good Review, but not understanding how you are comparing quality of the 24-70 against a 50mm Prime? You said the photo came out sharper with the zoom compared to the prime. There are so many factors that play into image quality and sharpness. Comparing a prime lens to a zoom is like apples and oranges. The only way to properly compare them would be to shoot an image with the 24-70 at exactly 50mm focal length at the same f stop and shutter speed as an image taken with the 50mm prime... Otherwise its not really true comparison. I find it hard to imagine the image would be sharper with a zoom over a prime lens. But then again your camera settings play a big part in that too. I do agree that the 24-70 zoom would most likely be a better choice for you shooting weddings though...I'm not fan of zooms.. but the 24-70mm is a very good lens.
A 50mm, 35mm or a 24-70 zoom are not recommended for portraiture. Portraits gain a lot of benefit from the compression of longer focal length lenses. an 85mm up to a 200mm will give the most flattering results for portraits.
I have this lens and sigma 14-24 2.8 ART. Canon 24-70 2.8 ll sometimes is too tight on the events so it is good to have wider options. And yeah this zoom lens along with canon 85 1.4 IS is perfect combo for the events
And the 24-70 at 35mm compared to my sigma 35mm at the common aperture of 2.8, they are both identical! which is amazing because 2.8 for the 35 art is stopped down whilst for the Canon it's wide open! also the 35 is prime vs zoom. This fact alone means this lens should be bought period. don't buy the Tamron or any other counterparts. it's like night and day.
+Freddie Slaughter Yeah... as an 'upgrade' for sure, but if one could get a decent price for the used mki, the mkii would then be a definite go (at least for me) as I find the lens 'sharper' throughout the range, except for around 35mm (softer in the corners on the mkii) yet the 'center' of the mkii photos are unbelievably 'tack sharp'. Too bad such a pricey lens doesn't come with IS!!
Have you tried an 85mm prime? I think you might like it, 50mm has some perspective distortion when you try to fill the frame with a person, torso or head.
Jessica, thanks for the review. I was going to invest in that lens, but now after your review I think I'll focus on saving for the 85mm L lens. Is that the one on your desk behind you in the video. Question: how do the 50mm L lens and the 85mm L lens differ for portraits in your opinion?
+Christopher Soule Hmmm...I've used both the 85 and 50, personally I prefer the 50. The 85 is WAYY too close for my preference, BUT if you're doing more portraits and like that creamy bokeh then the 85 would be perfect for you. 50 is more in the middle where you can do a full body portrait as well as close up.
Do you find that you miss your 35 or 50 primes? I’m considering selling my 35 F1.4 in order to get the 24-70 F2.8. For weddings it’s a no brainer but I wonder if I would prefer it for outdoor portraits. Don’t worry, I also have the 85 F1.4 and the 70-200 which is what i prefer for portraits but I would occasionally pop out the 35 F1.4 when I want it a bit wider.
Hi. Ok so like let me start off by saying a older guy who is jumping into photography really late in life. I bought the lens and yes it heavy and bulky. I have not mastered it just yet but my question to you is, does it make a difference what type of camera body you have? I am using the canon 7TI body but noticed you use like the R5 or R6 by the way are super expensive.
What's the camera you are using? Just wondering why your portraits do not have bokeh, are you using any post to your photos?, they look a little bit flat, less dynamic.
Thank you so much Jess! After watching this video you cleared all my doubts about making my first investment ever (I'm 17 years old) with this lens. I'm a fashion photographer from Argentina and I've been using the kit lens that comes with the camera, and I don't feel that the pics are coming as sharp as they could. You are an inspiration to me! THANKS! XOXO
I am sorry but after watching this you clearly don't know what your talking about. 2.8 is more than enough to get things out of focus and you need to learn how to use it. To me some of your images looked soft and not tack sharp. This lens is one of the best zooms out their. I suggest you try the 70-200 you will see as this lens is probably canons sharpest lens. Put some distance between the background and your subject then you will see what bokeh can be achieved from this lens.
Technologyadvisor1 I was thinking the same thing.. this lens is amount the sharpest on the market. Like you said, step back... zoom in and bam bokah! This lens is made for portraits.. her saying she wouldn't recommend it for portraits is 100% false.
Advice. I already have the 50mm 1.4 however on a cropped sensor cam. Would you guys recommend I go the 24-70 or 35mm 1.4 for portraits? I had the issue of the 50 being far too zoomed in on a cropped sensor.
this looks like an awesome dance I have to do my research. I I love your photography and the way you posing them or guiding. do you have any tips on posing I have a very difficult time still
This lens is a bit more sharper than the 50. Personally I felt in love with it and I am shooting a lot of portaits with it. Greets from Germany, Jess :)
Fyi, the blurred background, or bokeh, function of the camera accomplished by choosing the right settings. On a Canon the "basic" menu is P, TV, AV or Manual (with customized presets). On a Canon, AV is the setting used to accomplish the "blurred" background, or bokeh (again, not the lens) ;-)
Great review buuuut really nice fashion pictures. I bought this lens a few weeks ago for fashion shoots but I'm finding that it is not that great for fashion photography. The images are a lot less sharp :(
i'm thinking of buying a " real camera " for the futur. For now, i'm okay to try hard with my smartphone and focus of what or who i'm shooting ( i'm currently in street portrait ). Would you suggest me to take a crop sensor relatively new like 77d or 70d, or saving a little to directly get something like a canon 5d mark I or II ( depend if i'm into video ) ?
If you are not in a hurry to buy a camera, wait and save to get something you like. I have bought crop sensor cameras as a beginner and now they are collecting dust since I upgraded.
thx for the reply :) Maybe i will follow this and get a 5d mark II ( not be able to shoot video other than with my smartphone may hurt my heart in the future ). On other hand it can be a blessing to not be able to shoot video to force me focus on photo and take video with my smartphone for fun ). I also think about not getting a new camera for the moment and pay a little in order to repair my father's old film asahi pentax camera.
I'm going to take a guess and say that you got this lens because of Lara Jade? I saw you comment on one of the photos in her group on Facebook and I may have fangirled a little. ^_^
+Katherine Johnson Aw :$ !!! actually Lina Tesch is the first photographer I noted that uses this lens..and she's one of my favorites by far :P So I knew I had to get it!
That's really cool! I'll definitely look up some of her work. And by the way, I just want to say you are doing an amazing job. You've grown a lot in the two years I've been watching and I love how down to earth you are! If you're ever in Grand Rapids, say hi!
Buying this lens would quickly devour my wallet and bank account into obliteration.
Coming here after8 years, thank you for the precise review!!
You can get good bokeh with that lens if you zoom in to 70mm and open to f2.8. I'm guessing you already know that now though.
great video, I used to have this lens but I'm a prime fan and ended up selling it in the end. If you like your primes Jessica I highly recommend the canon 135mm f2 its amazing!!! I use it along with my 50mm 1.2L for fashion and general outdoor portraiture
Hi Jessica, will you do a workflow video especially how you proof images for printing, how you show the pictures to your clinets and what printing service do you use?
Thanks!
I've gotten more answers and have learned more from binge watching your videos that i have in a semester.
How much did it set you back? and did you think about the 85mm 1.2? or the 70-200? i am thinking to get these......slowly... one kidney at a time..$$$
+Kel Simmons 70-200mm over 85mm anytime. .
85mm f1.2 it's the best. 70-200 is nice you will get more shots. The 85mm f1.2 when you hit its spectacular. 70-200 is for wedding ceremonies and for soccer. I would never shoot portraits with it. I own both. Just the reaction people give you when you use the 70-200 they feel intimidated.
ModernMen that depends on what you shoot

She already own the 85 1.2, 50 1.2 as well!

This is my next lens. It's the perfect range for most stuff and complements the 70-200 nicely.
It has been interesting to watch you grow and develope into the great photographer you are. Thank you for sharing your journey.
I know this doesn't have anything to do with the video...but I love how to crop on the direct sunlight photo, the street sign says "calm".
Best and clear explanation. You answered all of my questions. Thank you
"If you're like 20 lbs, try to get up to 30 so you can hold it..." 😭
it's a brilliant lens. you can see me using it on my Dark Desert photoshoot. It has prime quality at all zoom lengths.

The 50mm is pretty sharp too, just close the ring to f 3.5 and you'll see the difference ;D
It is a great lens and I use it also for wedding photos, Jessica i recommend you get the 85mm 1.2 II L, for your portraiture, you'll fall in love with, very sharp, and the bokeh is magnified, it's gonna be ur number 1 lens ;)
Was on the fence about getting this lens as I also typically use a 50mm. Thanks so much for your review and feedback!
Still one of the best lenses in my box.

nice review, hope to see more pics in next vid !
You’re amazing and hilarious and I love you. You literally make me laugh out loud, not just blowing air through my nose! ;)
Hey Jessica! You should do a video with your old photoshoots, like when you first started it, and then how they are now. That could be amazing.
Jess have you tried out a Fujifilm camera ?
Hi Jess... I owned both this lens and the 50mm you spoke of...Ive since sold them and switched
completely to Zeiss Prime lenses. This is a Good Review, but not understanding how you are comparing

I’m torn between this or the 35 1.4 ii. I wish I could buy both.
This is also a common lens used by many content creators to make videos so I would consider this investment if you’re into film and photography.
I have this lens and sigma 14-24 2.8 ART. Canon 24-70 2.8 ll sometimes is too tight on the events so it is good to have wider options. And yeah this zoom lens along with canon 85 1.4 IS is perfect combo for the events
this girl is so cute
I do makeup tutorials here on YT i bought this lens today , is it good for those types of videos ??
This was really helpful, thank you!!
Hi Jessica. So, did the 24-70 becomes your favourite lens?
And the 24-70 at 35mm compared to my sigma 35mm at the common aperture of 2.8, they are both identical! which is amazing because 2.8 for the 35 art is stopped down whilst for the Canon it's wide open! also the 35 is prime vs zoom. This fact alone means this lens should be bought period. don't buy the Tamron or any other counterparts. it's like night and day.
This video is really awesome and helpful but I have a question.
Which lens would you rather recommend 55mm or 21-70 for portrait and landscape.
It is not worth the upgrade from the 24-70 f2.8L MK1, it might have been if Canon would have put IS on it, just my 2 cents.
+Freddie Slaughter
Yeah... as an 'upgrade' for sure, but if one could get a decent price for the used mki, the mkii would then be a definite go (at least for me) as I find the lens 'sharper' throughout the range, except for around 35mm (softer in the corners on the mkii) yet the 'center' of the mkii photos are unbelievably 'tack sharp'.

Have you tried an 85mm prime? I think you might like it, 50mm has some perspective distortion when you try to fill the frame with a person, torso or head.
Amazing video
I had version 1 and it sucked in my opinion. Switched back to shooting primes only but I am curious about this version II
Jessica, thanks for the review. I was going to invest in that lens, but now after your review I think I'll focus on saving for the 85mm L lens. Is that the one on your desk behind you in the video. Question: how do the 50mm L lens and the 85mm L lens differ for portraits in your opinion?

Hi. Ok so like let me start off by saying a older guy who is jumping into photography really late in life. I bought the lens and yes it heavy and bulky. I have not mastered it just yet but my question to you is, does it make a difference what type of camera body you have? I am using the canon 7TI body but noticed you use like the R5 or R6 by the way are super expensive.
You said it’s number 2 favorite what’s your number one ?
so funny how i am going to buy this lens because Jessica uses it :)
Man, I love your work, but I will not trade my Sigma 50/1.4 Art, Sigma 35/1.4 Art, and Nikon 85/1.4g ... the sharpness is just too good.
What's the camera you are using? Just wondering why your portraits do not have bokeh, are you using any post to your photos?, they look a little bit flat, less dynamic.
Great video Jessica, can you compare 24-70"f 2.8" and 24-70 f/4. I want to buy this lens but confused about both. Plz help
Great review! Can you do a review of the Sony 85mm 1.4 or the Cannon version 85mm 1.2. Thanks!
Thank you so much Jess! After watching this video you cleared all my doubts about making my first investment ever (I'm 17 years old) with this lens. I'm a fashion photographer from Argentina and I've been using the kit lens that comes with the camera, and I don't feel that the pics are coming as sharp as they could. You are an inspiration to me!
THANKS! XOXO
Great info definitely will get this lens Thank you
i want to get this lens but tight on money. i do have the 17-40L wondering if i should trade in for this one, or just keep saving for this one?
I really like your videos! Could you do one on when you have you raw image what you do with it? Thanks!
Do you think i’ll miss the lack of IS for wedding photography with this lens?
Also Jessica you said recently on a live feed you couldn’t live without your 50 would this lens surpass that ?
perfect review! can relate completely!
I am sorry but after watching this you clearly don't know what your talking about. 2.8 is more than enough to get things out of focus and you need to learn how to use it. To me some of your images looked soft and not tack sharp. This lens is one of the best zooms out their. I suggest you try the 70-200 you will see as this lens is probably canons sharpest lens.

good to know!
no matter how you frame the subject, there are things a prime can do that a zoom can't. so she wasn't that far off.
Advice. I already have the 50mm 1.4 however on a cropped sensor cam. Would you guys recommend I go the 24-70 or 35mm 1.4 for portraits? I had the issue of the 50 being far too zoomed in on a cropped sensor.
Theresa Ly I’m in the exact same boat!!!!! What did you end up going with?
Have you try 24mm 2.8 fix lens ?
this looks like an awesome dance I have to do my research. I I love your photography and the way you posing them or guiding. do you have any tips on posing I have a very difficult time still
Hey Jessica, do you have a second shooter at wedding events? Or do you do all the photographing yourself?
So if im looking to shoot strong fashion portraits similar to Jessica's style, would this be the best option for me? or maybe a 35, 50 or 85mm?
In your current videos , i've noticed that you have not been using the 24-70 lens , what have changed ?
This lens is a bit more sharper than the 50. Personally I felt in love with it and I am shooting a lot of portaits with it. Greets from Germany, Jess :)
Great review Jessica.
Great review, Jess :)
can I ask what metering mode you use for wedding and fashion photography?
Loved this review:)
if possible can you please give us some tips how to use it I have it but hard for me to use the focus
Jessica,thank you for review.I also use 24-70 2.8ii and 85 1.2ii(^-^)
would you recommend this for food photos?
where is the difference when i use this lense on a 5d or on a eos1200d?
Your voice made me subscribed!
Who's your favorite photographer?

;-)
Do your research. You said it all wrong
@@jrwilfred - Yup ;-)
@@DJWRailroad the camera can help in portrait mode just a little but bokeh mostly depends on the focal length (ie compression) and aperture solely
this lens can take all of my fortune
do I have to use any filter for this lens if used indoor?
what camera do you use in this video canon 5d mark vi?
Great review buuuut really nice fashion pictures. I bought this lens a few weeks ago for fashion shoots but I'm finding that it is not that great for fashion photography. The images are a lot less sharp :(
i'm thinking of buying a " real camera " for the futur. For now, i'm okay to try hard with my smartphone and focus of what or who i'm shooting ( i'm currently in street portrait ). Would you suggest me to take a crop sensor relatively new like 77d or 70d, or saving a little to directly get something like a canon 5d mark I or II ( depend if i'm into video ) ?
If you are not in a hurry to buy a camera, wait and save to get something you like. I have bought crop sensor cameras as a beginner and now they are collecting dust since I upgraded.
thx for the reply :) Maybe i will follow this and get a 5d mark II ( not be able to shoot video other than with my smartphone may hurt my heart in the future ). On other hand it can be a blessing to not be able to shoot video to force me focus on photo and take video with my smartphone for fun ).
I also think about not getting a new camera for the moment and pay a little in order to repair my father's old film asahi pentax camera.
Idk if I want the 24-70 lens mark ii or YOU!
okay that got weird fast!
Jasper Atman lol
Guys, don’t be creeps. That’s how you stay single.

I am gonna get this one! :)
In the photo at 2:36, the building in the background looks really distorted at both sides.
It's called pincushion distortion. Zoom lens have that.

Hello girl, have you tried the 75-300mm, can you give me some advice about it.
Thanks, greeting from Costa Rica, you have helping me alot.

Is this lens good for videos as well?
I'm going to take a guess and say that you got this lens because of Lara Jade? I saw you comment on one of the photos in her group on Facebook and I may have fangirled a little. ^_^
+Katherine Johnson Aw :$ !!! actually Lina Tesch is the first photographer I noted that uses this lens..and she's one of my favorites by far :P So I knew I had to get it!
That's really cool! I'll definitely look up some of her work. And by the way, I just want to say you are doing an amazing job. You've grown a lot in the two years I've been watching and I love how down to earth you are! If you're ever in Grand Rapids, say hi!
+Katherine Wright Im pretty sure Lara go to lens is the 85mm 1.2 prime
Nice sharp lens.
