    F/M/K: 35mm, 50mm, 85mm?

    What 24 – 70 mm would be best for canon? Such a helpful video!

    First Off great Video!

    Im an Amateur but really enjoy taking photos. I got the a6000 and mainly use the Canon 50mm f1.8 with an Adapter on my camera. That gives me 75mm right? Is that an ok set up or should I get an other lense for Portrait without an adapter?

    Thx in advance 👍

    Personally, my face looks most pleasant at 200 mm, and 24 – 28 mm disfigures a human face.

    I'm a fan of subject isolation in portraits hence leaning more towards the longer lenses, 85, 100 and 135

    Except 50mm. All the rest looks great. 😁😁

    I thought a 50mm is closer to your eye which is why they call it normal

    Is Canon still making cameras?
    That's… Cute… Or extremely large…
    I'm confused.

    My 135/1.8 Gmaster 👍🏽👍🏽
    Great bokeh and compression and not as big and heavy as a 70-200

    Can I just say that this is one of the few videos that show the characteristics of each prime lens rather than technical stuff that you can look for online if you do the research. Thanks

    As usual, good model and excellent photos, congratulations. As for any lens, any one fits in the right hands, the 24mm is not intended for more conventional portraits.

    Static and boring 135mm? Ha. It's the photographer and not the equipment.

    Nice video = ) I would have liked to know more of the model's opinion. What does it feel being on the other side? What's the difference from working on one lens or the other.

    Nice music and models in this video! I use Nikon 50mm 1,8 D and 55mm 2.8 macro lenses for my portraits along with a 24-70mm zoom!

    What happens if I buy a lens 18-70mm does it still have the same focus as a 70mm individual lens?
