Thanks for tuning in today! What lens do you love most?
Nvm bokeh the main benefits of the longer focal length is the background compression to help isolate the subject when the background isn't that interesting and the slimming of the models face. Look how broad the face of the lady is in that 50mm portrait. That being said I always grab my 85 1.4 unless I'm forced into a 50 due to constraints.
This was an AMAZING video! Would love to see more comparisons with lenses!❤️
Been using my 85mm more and more. Still keep my 50mm on me for those tight spaces. Sometimes I might be on a trail and don't have the room I need with the 85mm. Then out cokes the 50mm to the rescue.
Almost want a second body but just not there yet in terms of need and cost
Great vid ..thank you 🙂
my favorite was the 50 until i saw your bts of a family of 3 with the 85 which i had but mostly stayed home. i have had it out more since that video and fell in love. i still use the 50 for 4 or more people and also for some theater and concert. its amazing in low light. dogs is all 85 or 18-135 3.5 which is a great portrait lens as well for moving kids
The groups are sometimes 20 plus
Hi , I love my Nikon 50 mm however sometimes I need to shoot large groups . I’m struggling with getting everybody in the frame . I’m using a Nikon D 5000 . It’s Not a full frame ( I ❤) it but it’s not ideal for huge group shots sometimes in tight spaces . Where I don’t have room to go further back .
Do you have suggestions maybe my settings are wrong ?
I’m thinking about getting a second body a
Nikon 6 11 kit it’s a 24 to 70 mm .
Please advise! I’m so frustrated!
