@@BennyBlawnk smh. desperate for saying someone is beautiful? You better than that bro. I think its better to build someone up than tear them down. you don't have to push someone down to lift yourself up. i respect your opinion. i just hope you don't have to take a stab at me to do it.
The model is so gorgeous and she pose so well. I don't really know if I prefer photos with 35 or 50, I think it depends of the background is nice to be seen or not
For those who don't know, the above images are taken on full frame camera with 35mm and 55mm lens. For you to know how 35mm will look like on Crop(Aps-c) censor camera refer 50 mm photographs of the above video. 35mm is more or less within 52-56 mm on crop censor camera after crop factor.
Really great to see the raw photo before you apply your edit. Not necessary every time but it’s always interesting to see how people shoot for the edit. Great work once again.
Thank you so much! I really like that you show bts, photos of before and after, and the video quality was awesome! I really like 35mm for showing the environment and 50mm for a closed up shot.
Currently trying to decide if I want to purchase the 35mm lens. I have a 50mm. This video was perfect to watch. I'm a bit late in watching as it was posted in 2019, but it's still relevant. Thank you so much for posting! Love the video and love the images you got.
The photographer is a pretty as the model but that doesn’t matter. Your videos are just amazing. Good job. I was hesitating between a 35mm and 50mm on full frame camera and now I know for sure I want a 35mm. Thanks a lot.
I do events indoors and 35mm lens is indispensable. Not too wide but you have to know how to move with you legs. It forces you to think about your composition. I'm trying to transition into all primes now. Thanks for another great video tutorial. Both lenses are great but if I was starting out, I will get a 35mm first before a 50mm lens. It's just a personal preference, not the rule.
I LOVE 35mm but using it for portraits can leave me wanting to grab longer lens for compression sometimes. To me, 35mm makes you work more for portraits and consider the surroundings more. That said, your work is amazing and you got one more subscriber here :)
@@chellmcwags6229 from personal experience, I'd go with the 35mm if you're indoor ...you'll have a little more freedom ...plus on a crop it'll be closer to a 50 anyway 👍🏼
The 50 did a great job, I own one and it's my favorite, the 35 mm overpowered the 50 in the walking shots, this has got to be my next lens. Love your videos.
@@dragonfist25 also the flowers as background doesn't blur that much as the 50 it's not noticeable until I saw this comparison 35 won for some and the 50 mm is a lens I love regardless.
Love your photography😍😍... Was wondering if u could post a beginners guide video... Cuz I am really interested in photography but don't know how to handle a camera with all the settings. Love ur work❤️
This is sooooo on time . I just started photography . I have my first photo shoot this weekend and one next weekend . I’m super nervous . I’m using the 50 mm 1.4 lens. I’m nervous but excited at the same time .
Great video. Also saw the pics on the blog. Just the information and comparison I was looking for. I'm always juggling between my 35 and 50 in my street photography and I think I'm developing a slight preference for the 35. But the question lingers about whether it's too wide (as I've been told) for portraits. From this vid I see there's no real issue. Much thanks. And that model - Shanice - is just so enchanting!
Love these comparison videos. I just bought a Sony a5100 and was debating which of these to go with. I've been using a 35mm f 1.8 on a Nikon D3200 for a couple years, I think I still prefer the 35mm over the 50mm, I like having more of the background in my images. And technically couldn't you just get a little closer to the subject with the 35mm to crop out more of the background for similar effect to the 50mm minus the stronger bokeh effect?
Try the Sigma 105f1.4 Art and the Sigma 40f1.4 Art. I purchased both and am stunned by the contrast and sharpness. My 5DMiv recognizes both as native lenses. Throw in my 7DM2 and 2 lenses turn into 4.
Can you do a video on how you learned to shoot in such a low aperture while still getting the entire face in focus? What your aperture should be at compared to the distance you should be from your subject when shooting at 1.2 or 1.4
Thank you so much! And yes I have, I usually use the 28mm for when I'm travelling as the Sony f2 version is a really tiny lens, I have a portrait photoshoot coming up with it soon 😄
I LIVE for your comparison videos! Would you be able to compare 1.8, 1.4, and 1.2 lenses? The 1.8 lenses are so affordable, I want to know if it’s really worth it! 🧡
I have the 50 and trying to decide if I need the 35mm also. So similar but yet different depending on the shot. Also have a 15-50 2.8 so not sure if that is good enough
Hi i am from India, and I have Canon M50 cemara, so EF_M50 F/1.8 lens is good for portrait photography (use with adapter) it is also use group photography (4 _to 5 person)
Hey Julia I shoot Nikon and absolutely LOVE my 50 mm F/1.8 it is amazing for portrait photography. I have to agree with what you said, even with Nikon, the 35 mm is better for editorial style photos and struggles with close up portrait shots. I owned a 35 mm for a bit and really didn't like the results I got from it, so I ended up selling it. I also found the Nikon 35 mm struggled and missed focus on more shots. I rarely miss focus on my 50 mm. Right now I shoot APS-C but switching to full frame in the next couple months, so I may but a 35 mm again plus an 85 mm just to do a comparison between the 3 lenses. But I will never give up my 50 mm
If you shoot aps-c then the 50mm lens is actually a 75 for the effects of this video and your 35mm lens is actually a 50mm. This is because of the crop factor aps-c cameras have (1.5x or 1.6x if you have a Canon.)
@@robertsellsatl oh I know...I still love how my 50 mm is even on the APS-C (Nikon D3200). But I am switching to full frame soon (buying a D850 and Z6) so I am excited to see the results I get with it and my other lenses on them.
I heard somewhere that with a 35mm lense, you're supposed to shoot portraits very perpendicular to the floor as the lense tends to distort (make things a LOT bigger that are closer to the lense). However, in 6:05 where you did those crouched down/angled upwards shots of the the model with her arms dangling downwards, everything seems pretty good and not a lot of distortion going on. Im confused.
It's depends on the angle of lens to the subject.. If your lens' angle to the subject is too extreme (too much tilting up or down relative to the subject) than distortion will appear.
I am looking at these focal lengths. To give some added info, I have two little ones so it's mainly to capture them. I imagine the 35mm might be more ideal, but I'm really not that sure since I haven't done too much research unfortunately at this point. Any thoughts would be most appreciative. Perhaps it'll be a great idea for a video. It'll certainly help parents who have kids and are looking for a lens to capture them playing together and other moments. Just a thought.
MHN yes! I think that’s a great idea. I have three kids and trying to figure out which lens would be best capturing them all together. I would love it if she did a video with a family or kids photo shoot.
I have a 50mm 1.8 and 35mm 1.4 and 85mm 1.4 and I mainly use my 35mm its so good so worth it. I would suggest perhaps hiring the focal lengths you are looking at and testing them out yourself to see what works for your style of photography.
I always shoot with auto focus since it's more accurate and I like to use a shallow depth of field which you can't actually see through the viewfinder. On my 5D series I normally use one-shot as I find servo modes to not be that accurate. On mirrorless cameras I like to use Continuous focus for movement :)
Julia Trotti thank you for being one of the few creators who is willing to reply to your subscribers! This helps!! I’m assuming for a camera like the 5D, once you AF on the subject and start walking backwards, you don’t have to re-focus? Also, I currently have the Canon 6D and realized that the shutter speed only goes up to 1/4000, whereas yours goes higher. Are there any disadvantages to this as the max? I’ve been trying to practice and I take a lot of inspiration from you, so I’m wondering if this speed is “acceptable”? I notice you shoot with the widest possible f stop and pretty low ISO. And combined with a high shutter speed, your images come out great!
@@musicsoulhaysgrl Aw of course, I'm happy to help! So on the 5D with one-shot AF mode, I am focusing in between every single shot that I take so it's a little bit slower. On a mirrorless with continuous AF i would just half hold down the shutter the entire time and shoot away. The main advantage for being able to go up to 1/8000 is that I can shoot wide open at f1.2 during the day/bright sunlight. Since you can only go up to 4000, you would just need to bump up your aperture a bit until your photo is properly exposed. But to be honest, the only time I have to shoot during the middle of the day is for weddings and fashion shoots where I am normally at f2 minimum anyway. I only do my personal photoshoots wide open and I tend to plan those for later on in the afternoon.
Julia Trotti Thank you so much!! Okay, that makes sense. I was taking grad pictures for a friend and had her walk towards the camera, but I wasn’t walking backwards to keep the same distance and I also didn’t refocus every time and just held down my back button focus and kept shooting...wish I had seen this video beforehand 😅 (as you can probably guess, most of the shots were out of focus) And ah, the shutter speed makes sense. Explains why it’s been hard for me to shoot wide open directly in the middle of the day with harsher sunlight. Also, in terms of upgrading the camera body, what do you recommend (preferably Canon) that’s the best bang for your bucK? I won’t be doing this for a while, but just want to know your recommendation!
@@musicsoulhaysgrl Nice, glad I could help! I've only really used the 5D series from Canon from the 2 to 4, there's not much difference between 3 and 4 so the 3 can be a good option and you could probably find it cheap somewhere. Otherwise I really liked the EOS R as well during the few shoots that I did with it! I would like to try out some more cameras from their mirrorless series, I'll definitely make some videos about it when I do.
Great video! This made me buy the 35 mm equivalent 50mm for my crop sensor. I feel it is worth the money. Beautiful model too, and if she is every in Texas I would love to book her for a photo shoot.
Great video. I bought the 24mm because I was shooting crop before. I have grown to love the distortion the 24 makes. Next lens will be the 35. Also, really love the LA presets. What tag do you use for your presets?
So which one between both 35 or 50 will be the best for walking around street model mostly like instagram model …so we can get whole body….much details….& wide angle please?
Hmm. What i see is that both lenses work well in this kinda shoot, but the most pleasing photos are those with background being well composed in the frame. Especially related to shots with garage door/flowers/
9:36 Julia I think you are being unfair to the 35mm when you say you prefer the 50mm because the 35mm shot had more of the background which you said was distracting. I think 35mm is great for environmental portraits where the background also tells a story about the subject
Hi Juls! 😀 After have using for a 1y 85 1.4 and few month 35mm 1.4 my fav it's 85 but 🤔 think i need 50 1.2... why because it's close to eyes view point. When i think "nifty fifty" i think rf 50 1.2... a waaay better than old 50's 👌
So if I want *less* distortion, I ought to go for the 50mm rather than the 35mm? How bout the 85mm? Will that focal length completely eliminate distortion on the subject's face?
I have a video I uploaded recently called “What lens should you buy?” Which compares the 35 vs 50 vs 85 and I think that will answer your question with some photo examples 😄 but yes an 85 will have less distortion, then a 135 will have even less, etc
Julia if you had to choose between the 85 and the 50 1.2 as a portrait photographer who loves Boca and in all around good lens to start with what do you recommend? I have the Canon 51.8 but once something more. And also just to say I'm not sure the 1.8 versus the 1.2 50mm if I'd really be blown away by the 1.2 50 mm?? Ugh, Please give me your recommendation so I consider that in my decision too. Thanks Julia for all your great content Love you!? 😽💕
I like the separation from the 35, and I just don't see the need for a 50 in my gear. I have a 16-35, 35, 70-200. Basically covers all my ground. I would like something that would isolate the subject a little more, so that sigma 135 f/1.8 seems to be poking at me, but then again... I may want something a little more discrete like a 400mm so I can stand WAY back haha.
I do wish we could also see the differences of focal lengths. I loved the video, and I tend to like the 35mm more. However, seeing them both shot in the same spot would have been cool.
If you had the choice of using a canon 50mm 1.4 lens or selling that one and buying the sigma 35mm 1.4 art would you? or would you stick to the canon 50mm 1.4? thanks xx
The model is a ray of sunshine! ☀️😍 Gonna go with the 50mm first bc I’ll also use it for video (I hear the auto focus can be painfully loud on the 35mm) Thx for sharing!
I have all the focal lengths for ff, but the 35... I struggle with it. At least for any portraits. It just feels very wide... For me it's a landscape lens, but I feel like i'm not using the full potential of my Sigma 35mm art on landscapes?
If you want some inspiration I have sooo many behind the scene photoshoots on the 35mm 😂 I love that focal length so much! It’s not a typical portrait focal length, but when you compose the shot in particular ways you can definitely get some nice shots out of it!
Hi Julia love your vids they are both beautiful and helpful! But I still struggle between 35mm and 50mm having known the difference lol... May I ask what focus mode you use more AF-C or AF-S? As the model usually keeps moving all the time..
Please can you clarify this: If you look at your metering and the line is in the middle on zero, do you take the photo or do you underexpose and have the line a little to the left before taking a photo? Where is your line usually at please?
Hi i have a question, I have nikon d810 with 24-70 lens, if I set in 35mm f4. I Dont have enough depth of field for sharp my subject, how did you do it in this session?
I've been torn between the 50mm and the 35mm focal length especially for portraits but for Sony cameras getting a 35mm would be the smart choice as the aps-c mode on Sony full frame cameras can turn the 35mm into essentially a 52mm lens. You do lose megapixels from 24 to 10 on a7iia7iii but for me that's not a big deal saving 1000dollars and having to carry another lens.
would be weird to say that even though i have a 50mm f1.8, i like shooting portraits with the kit lens at 35mm, and at times at 50mm ? ( i'm a complete beginner though XD)
Hello Julia! For engagement or wedding photos which one do you use the most between 35mm and 50mm? I am trying to get 85mm f1.4 and I do not know which one I should buy next between 35mm and 50mm. Thank you!
If you haven’t yet, you should check out my 2nd last video that I uploaded about 2 photographers and the best 2 primes lenses you need - that set up is exactly how I shoot the majority of my couple shoots, engagements, weddings, etc!
Very nice video! The conclusion is that for portraits, 85mm is the minimun focal length that can be used... The depth of field is ideal, the distortions is less. 35mm and 50mm are great options for other kinds of photography - I use 35mm lens for portraits too, but only for specific works (mainly in cases that I want the background to be not so blury...).
Check out the all primes lenses on crop frame video I linked in my description, it will show you what each focal length looks like on crop + full frame :)
35mm is much better for a crop body in general (works better for a general walk around lens) but if you later decide to go to FF, it might screw you up from what you are use to. You could also consider the Sigma option which is less than $700 right now and is said to be just as good. Matter of fact, the Sigma 35mm and 50mm combine cost as much as one of the Canon L lenses and is rated just as good (and sharper in the case of the 50mm). When I had my 28mm 1.8 on my crop body it was perfect for me and sharp (because it was on the crop where the center of that lens shines). When I went to FF, the lens was just too wide for general use and not as sharp because FF uses more of the lens and not just the center.
The 35 is my most used lens, so yeah I think it’s definitely versatile! I use it for portraits, weddings, travel, lifestyle, etc. There are also more budget friendly 35s that are really good! I just uploaded a couple of videos about the Tamron 35 1.8 and 1.4 - I really love these ones as an alternative to Canon
you are the queen of the 35mm ... I would love to see you use the samyang 45mm F1.8 on your Sony... Its my go to lens along side my now 85mm F1.4 Samyang for my portrait & fashion work
Oh my GAWD!!! that model is so beautiful. Thanks Julia for the vids . I really learn a lot . I think 35mm will be my thing

@@GreenRC24 when shooting low aperture, we should keep distance not too close to the subject to get the entire body in focus. thanks your advice.

Since you can only go up to 4000, you would just need to bump up your aperture a bit until your photo is properly exposed. But to be honest, the only time I have to shoot during the middle of the day is for weddings and fashion shoots where I am normally at f2 minimum anyway. I only do my personal photoshoots wide open and I tend to plan those for later on in the afternoon.
Julia Trotti Thank you so much!! Okay, that makes sense. I was taking grad pictures for a friend and had her walk towards the camera, but I wasn’t walking backwards to keep the same distance and I also didn’t refocus every time and just held down my back button focus and kept shooting...wish I had seen this video beforehand 😅 (as you can probably guess, most of the shots were out of focus)
And ah, the shutter speed makes sense. Explains why it’s been hard for me to shoot wide open directly in the middle of the day with harsher sunlight. Also, in terms of upgrading the camera body, what do you recommend (preferably Canon) that’s the best bang for your bucK? I won’t be doing this for a while, but just want to know your recommendation!
@@musicsoulhaysgrl Nice, glad I could help! I've only really used the 5D series from Canon from the 2 to 4, there's not much difference between 3 and 4 so the 3 can be a good option and you could probably find it cheap somewhere. Otherwise I really liked the EOS R as well during the few shoots that I did with it! I would like to try out some more cameras from their mirrorless series, I'll definitely make some videos about it when I do.
That model is so gorgeous. I hope to one day be as talented as you are and be able to get models that can really step up my portfolio.
Great video! This made me buy the 35 mm equivalent 50mm for my crop sensor. I feel it is worth the money. Beautiful model too, and if she is every in Texas I would love to book her for a photo shoot.
you should do two similar photo shoots with the two most extreme lenses in your kit. like compare a 24mm and 200mm??
Always love a lens comparison video!
What sucks is that I have cropped censor camera, but these videos help a lot. Currently have a 35mm. Want to rock the 50mm 1.4 in the future.
Great video. I bought the 24mm because I was shooting crop before. I have grown to love the distortion the 24 makes. Next lens will be the 35. Also, really love the LA presets. What tag do you use for your presets?
Great work and comparisons on your clips! Very helpful on deciding on either the 35, 50 or 85 👍🏽📷
So which one between both 35 or 50 will be the best for walking around street model mostly like instagram model …so we can get whole body….much details….& wide angle please?
Finally the 35mm is just more polyvalent but the 50mm help to blur more the background ?
Hmm. What i see is that both lenses work well in this kinda shoot, but the most pleasing photos are those with background being well composed in the frame. Especially related to shots with garage door/flowers/
Nice shoots, what lense do you recommend for a starter in photography? i have a dslr canon 250d and I am learning a lot from your videos
Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8
9:36 Julia I think you are being unfair to the 35mm when you say you prefer the 50mm because the 35mm shot had more of the background which you said was distracting. I think 35mm is great for environmental portraits where the background also tells a story about the subject
love your leather body strap! where did you get it from? let me know
Hi Juls! 😀
After have using for a 1y 85 1.4 and few month 35mm 1.4 my fav it's 85 but 🤔 think i need 50 1.2... why because it's close to eyes view point.
When i think "nifty fifty" i think rf 50 1.2... a waaay better than old 50's 👌
So if I want *less* distortion, I ought to go for the 50mm rather than the 35mm? How bout the 85mm? Will that focal length completely eliminate distortion on the subject's face?
I have a video I uploaded recently called “What lens should you buy?” Which compares the 35 vs 50 vs 85 and I think that will answer your question with some photo examples 😄 but yes an 85 will have less distortion, then a 135 will have even less, etc
Love the video and the photos!!! Could you do this but with a crop sensor too?? Like 35mm & 50mm using crop sensor vs full frame
Julia if you had to choose between the 85 and the 50 1.2 as a portrait photographer who loves Boca and in all around good lens to start with what do you recommend? I have the Canon 51.8 but once something more. And also just to say I'm not sure the 1.8 versus the 1.2 50mm if I'd really be blown away by the 1.2 50 mm?? Ugh, Please give me your recommendation so I consider that in my decision too. Thanks Julia for all your great content Love you!? 😽💕
You have the best comparison videos.
Easy to watch videos also.
Thank you.
As usual great video,and that model is...WOW.
Still a great video 3yrs later!
Great job, Julia. Love your style.
Wonderful video. Your model Shanice is simply awesome. She is one of the best that you have used.
Thank you very much!
All photos are great but 35mm is definitely my favorite
They both look great. It would just come down to what your friend or client needs the images for. I always carry both on shoots just in case.
I like the separation from the 35, and I just don't see the need for a 50 in my gear. I have a 16-35, 35, 70-200. Basically covers all my ground. I would like something that would isolate the subject a little more, so that sigma 135 f/1.8 seems to be poking at me, but then again... I may want something a little more discrete like a 400mm so I can stand WAY back haha.
+1 for model choice! Her skin, body vibe is everything! If you know how to use the 35, it’s super versatile
Does shooting at 35mm with a 16-35mm lens for example give you the same look?
If I download the app Digital Film on my phone and subscribe to it, will I be able to access your Lightroom presets?
Love this, How did you find your photography style??
Please do a 35mm f1.4 vs 35mm f1.8 comparison vid
I do wish we could also see the differences of focal lengths. I loved the video, and I tend to like the 35mm more. However, seeing them both shot in the same spot would have been cool.
If you had the choice of using a canon 50mm 1.4 lens or selling that one and buying the sigma 35mm 1.4 art would you? or would you stick to the canon 50mm 1.4? thanks xx
Love this video! The model is so pretty! I like her clothes as well!
The model is a ray of sunshine! ☀️😍 Gonna go with the 50mm first bc I’ll also use it for video (I hear the auto focus can be painfully loud on the 35mm) Thx for sharing!
I have all the focal lengths for ff, but the 35... I struggle with it. At least for any portraits. It just feels very wide... For me it's a landscape lens, but I feel like i'm not using the full potential of my Sigma 35mm art on landscapes?
If you want some inspiration I have sooo many behind the scene photoshoots on the 35mm 😂 I love that focal length so much! It’s not a typical portrait focal length, but when you compose the shot in particular ways you can definitely get some nice shots out of it!
Hi Julia love your vids they are both beautiful and helpful! But I still struggle between 35mm and 50mm having known the difference lol... May I ask what focus mode you use more AF-C or AF-S? As the model usually keeps moving all the time..
Please can you clarify this:
If you look at your metering and the line is in the middle on zero, do you take the photo
or do you underexpose and have the line a little to the left before taking a photo?
Where is your line usually at please?
Lol thanks for these, I'm so lost in which lens to get for portraits, I love both of them for different reasons!
Hi i have a question, I have nikon d810 with 24-70 lens, if I set in 35mm f4. I Dont have enough depth of field for sharp my subject, how did you do it in this session?
you're videos make me so happy
also my 35mm is always my goto
much better effects between 35mm and 50mm lens, Nice photos
Best video ever! Great comparison and gorgeous photos.
Thank you so much!
Love the model. Do a shoot with her and Alice! Great comparison again.
I've been torn between the 50mm and the 35mm focal length especially for portraits but for Sony cameras getting a 35mm would be the smart choice as the aps-c mode on Sony full frame cameras can turn the 35mm into essentially a 52mm lens. You do lose megapixels from 24 to 10 on a7iia7iii but for me that's not a big deal saving 1000dollars and having to carry another lens.
I envy you! SO nice weather! I am a photographer in Canada, now days, I really need to keep the guests warm during the photo shoot.
Been trying to decide between these two lenses for my next buy! This helped a lot! Loved all the pictures and the model was stunning! ♥️👏
Where to get ur camera shoulder belt thing? Looks really nice
please tell me you found an answer! I really want one of those

would be weird to say that even though i have a 50mm f1.8, i like shooting portraits with the kit lens at 35mm, and at times at 50mm ? ( i'm a complete beginner though XD)
Thank you so much for sharing. 35mm is Gold🔥
What do you think about a 35mm and 85mm combo? Thinking of skipping the 50mm, for the time being at least.
More typical so you should be fine.
Hello Julia! For engagement or wedding photos which one do you use the most between 35mm and 50mm?
I am trying to get 85mm f1.4 and I do not know which one I should buy next between 35mm and 50mm.
Thank you!
If you haven’t yet, you should check out my 2nd last video that I uploaded about 2 photographers and the best 2 primes lenses you need - that set up is exactly how I shoot the majority of my couple shoots, engagements, weddings, etc!
Julia Trotti ok! Thank you!
After a while, the blurred backgrounds in the 50mm shots, start to get a bit tiresome.
Can you download the preset pack on mobile or do you have to have a desktop
Stunning model and great informative video!
Which lens do you recommend for video if you want a blurry background
85mm
Very nice video! The conclusion is that for portraits, 85mm is the minimun focal length that can be used... The depth of field is ideal, the distortions is less. 35mm and 50mm are great options for other kinds of photography - I use 35mm lens for portraits too, but only for specific works (mainly in cases that I want the background to be not so blury...).
Would you recommend the 35 or 50 for a crop sensor? I want a good overall lens, mostly for street photography.
Thank you.
Check out the all primes lenses on crop frame video I linked in my description, it will show you what each focal length looks like on crop + full frame :)
35mm is much better for a crop body in general (works better for a general walk around lens) but if you later decide to go to FF, it might screw you up from what you are use to. You could also consider the Sigma option which is less than $700 right now and is said to be just as good. Matter of fact, the Sigma 35mm and 50mm combine cost as much as one of the Canon L lenses and is rated just as good (and sharper in the case of the 50mm). When I had my 28mm 1.8 on my crop body it was perfect for me and sharp (because it was on the crop where the center of that lens shines). When I went to FF, the lens was just too wide for general use and not as sharp because FF uses more of the lens and not just the center.
Depends on style. I dont like going too close to people so I use 50mm and 85mm on crop for street photography. Works for me
am i right in thinking the 35mm is a better everyday type lense, for potrait, landscape etc...? also is it worth the extra cash?
The 35 is my most used lens, so yeah I think it’s definitely versatile! I use it for portraits, weddings, travel, lifestyle, etc. There are also more budget friendly 35s that are really good! I just uploaded a couple of videos about the Tamron 35 1.8 and 1.4 - I really love these ones as an alternative to Canon
@@juliatrotti thank you guys :)
So on an APS-C sensor 35mm or 50 mm? Thanks!
you are the queen of the 35mm ... I would love to see you use the samyang 45mm F1.8 on your Sony... Its my go to lens along side my now 85mm F1.4 Samyang for my portrait & fashion work
