24mm vs 35mm for Photography

24mm vs 35mm for Photography



All photos edited with my new preset pack Sage (coming soon):

Hey everyone! I created this series many many years ago and I thought it was time to revisit it with fresh photos. This time we’ll be starting on the 24mm vs 35mm focal lengths as I never created this comparison in my last series. I am taking all these photos on a full frame camera, you also don’t need the exact same lenses as me to see this field of view – ANY 24mm or 35mm lens will work.

Let me know which focal length you prefer!! Next up in the series, we’ll be taking a look at the 35mm vs 50mm focal length.

    I have a 24-105mm zoom lens. I like the versatility of the 24-105mm lens. I can get wide angle at 24-35mm and macro at 105mm.

    You posed a question today, 4/23/23 about our favorite focal length… Mine is my new 50mm 1.8 I love the bokah & just how much light it lets in in shaded situations.

    I apologize for sending this on a different video, but I lost today's video…

    Great review. Haven't used either one of those length and it is great to know and see the differences, quality and side by side. Thank you Julia. Great video and review, explanation and points that you make on the topic.

    Thank you for the links to your gear! I didn't find a link for the dual camera harness you're using in the video; could you tell me what brand/model it is?

    My street kit is two bodies (Sony A7C) with 24mm f1.4, 35mm f1.4 and 85mm f1.4. This covers everything I want to do.

    85mm vs the 105mm would be a good one to test for beauty shots. The 85mm is likely more flexible 3/4 length to headshots, yet the 105mm has been the classic portrait lens for over five decades for a reason. Not sure about the 135mm – that focal length has a little too much compression making faces look heavier.

    Ofcourse a 35MM killed the show for me πŸ”₯

    Hey Julia, Thankyou for these great set of videos. Can I ask what filters do you use on these 24 and 85 prime gm lenses ? Do you also use cpl filters other than uv ? Can you suggest some specific ones in Hoya or any other recommended ones ?

    This is such a useful series, thank you! Also, please please please if you can get your hands on the new Sigma 50mm 1.4, would love a portrait comparison between it and the Samyang 50mm 1.4 as well as the GM 50mm 1.4. I will be buying one of these soon. πŸ™

    Believe it or not, I've actually been using my 20mm quite a bit when taking my portrait shots! There is some distortion, but I love placing the subject in with their environment and really trying to tell a story, like you said.

    Hey Julia! Loved the video and can’t wait to see more (hoping to see the 50mm 1.2 as its my favorite lens of all time and just want more of your photos with it!) would you ever consider doing a video about the application of Lightroom presets across different branded lenses to get them all consistent? I use Samyang/sigma/tamron/Sony lenses and when applying presets they can vary so widely and can take so long to get consistent and clean across the board. Would love to see how you handle that.

    (Also bought some presets from your website but never received them. If you could respond to my email that would be much appreciated πŸ™)

    Hey Julia, thank you very much for your video. I have been waiting for such a comparison. I've also been trying for months to decide on one of the two focal lengths. The videos that are available on YouTube so far, always compare the two focal lengths with the same distance to the model. So you can only see the differences in the angle of view, but not the different effect of the focal lengths. Due to your identical framing you can see exactly the different image effect. For me, the 24mm lens has something very special.

    I have recently purchased the a74 after owning a A9 , and I am so happy with the A74..it left the A9 in the dust for image quality in my option, the A9 , whilst fast, was soft no matter what glass I put in front of it , the a74 is ..beautiful! I currently have a Tamron 35 – 150 and while it is a big unit, I am happy with the shots I'm getting with it , but I think a 24mm is the next move for me !

    Hi Julia. I've been watching your videos for a while now and I can't help to notice that you shoot at the widest aperture almost all the time. Just because you can? The photos all look gorgeous though..

    Great comparison Julia, quick question, is there a reason why you dont use the View Finder ?? Thanks

    gm 24 and 35 are amazing. 35 is my favourite. But for shooting like this i’m glad for 24-70/2.8, It’s so comftable In good light.

    I personally like 24mm focal length as it captures details in the background when shoot portraits and also so useful when I want to make videos and do street photography as well. Very versatile lens for my own use.
    I love the both lenses.

    While I can appreciate a good 35mm, 24 is my go to! My A7iv has plenty of resolution to crop if needed, and the 24mm lens gives me flexibility to shoot wider if I need to, and then crop a bit in post.

    But do I still plan on buying 35 eventually? Yes. The answer is always yes πŸ˜‚

    Awesome video!

    Sorry, once you get to know your camera and lens that's all you are going to use, it's the type of photography your using it for
