My pleasure! Aah don't worry, the 135mm is a fantastic focal length, it just gives a different look and I would use it in a slightly different way, but I do love my 135mm

Seem so far from you but I do like your explanation and how to use different tape of lenses that is I looking for, I got 3 lenses 28-75mm f2.8, 85mm f1.8, and my new lens Viltrox 16mm f1.8, now I’m looking new lens sigma 105mm f1.4 but I can’t get it at my place. I do love shooting but my problem is I don't know how to edit. Thanks for sharing and your English very clearly how me secondary English listens easily. I'm happy sub- and follow you.

I prefer longer focal lengths, shooting most of my portraits with an RF 85mm1.2 or the 70-200mm. I have a plethora of other lenses but waiting for Canon to release both a 35mm1.2 and the 135mm. I am really considering the 35mm even though it is outside of my comfort zone. Btw, my favorite of your images was the close up with the 35mm. Interesting.

Great video. Thanks for creating and sharing it. Lots of helpful information on field of view and the types of images you can create with these 3 different lenses. And you got it all done within a very short window with the lighting situation. Great work. 👏👏👏👍

They are all great, I will shoot a full wedding with a 35 and 85, but I also absolutely LOVE MY SIGMA 135 that I try to get out every once in a while

I have all these lenses in the GM version and although the 135 is amazing if you can only have 1 portrait lens its hands down the 85. It's much easier to work with and will give similar results in most situations.

I have Sony 35mm f1.8, Sigma 85mm DN F1.4. I use them a lot. Would love to own the 135mm one day.

Hi Neal... great video. For me, the 85mm is the winner as you get a nice balance between subject and environment... grea foreground and background bokeh. Congrats!

Definitely the 135 for me. It has the most delicious bokeh. The 85 is a very close second, with dreamy bokeh. I do love the 35, as it’s my favorite “storytelling” and intimate lens. Great video Neil!

I have all the 3 un GM version ! 135 was my favorite !! Awesome lense

I also have the Sigma 135 Art (in EF mount adapted on my Canon R6), yes it's huge, but it's also my go-to lens for portraits, both indoor and outdoor; I ditch the 135 for the 50 f1.4 (also the Sigma Art in EF mount) only indoor if the space is tight and/or the place is super dark and I can't supplement light. Otherwise size and weight penalty are the price to pay for that beautiful 135, so I've to say that it's the lens I would suggest to any portrait and/or wedding photographer. I would change it only for the "bokeh-master" Sigma 105 f1.4 but that thing cost too much for my pockets right now...but the moment I'll have the possibility, I MUST OWN IT 😀

35 close up is the best but as a group I pick the 85 group, “O” and when looking for long grass in a wooded area it will only be found on the outskirts or a clearing Hope this helps your navigation skills!!

35 is my favourite (as you don't have a 50) - way more context. Completely blurred out backgrounds aren't particularly interesting (after you've seen so many of them.) So 85/135 have their place but are one trick ponies for me.

I agree with you, the 135mm really requires the foreground and background to be interesting to give more interest

Great video, I am still looking at which one I take. Just wondering which 360 camera you are using and which wireless audio? Thanks,

Hi Neil it has to be the 85 but the 35 comes a very close second. I’ve got both of these lenses and love them both but use the 85 more than the 35, I am starting to use the 35 more and more though. Great video again.

The 135mm seemed cloudy, or in other words the 35mm and 85mm are sharper. If I recall the Samyang 85mm is an exceptional lens.

school boy error with the camera straps. I did that other day at a wedding and had to go sprinting back to my car. Cannot afford to drop a 4k camera on the floor with a 3k lens Hahahaha. Neil please respond as I am looking at the 135mm as I have the 35mm, 50mm and 85mm lens. I was at a wedding the other day and I really needed that reach of the 135mm. How is it with weight? I generally stick with the 85mm on a wedding day and then the 35mm comes out afterwards. I have recently got the f2 Canon 28-70mm which is amazing, however I love the prime lenses. Please let me know with 135mm as I will just buy it as some weddings I have found certain situations often require that additional reach. Thanks for doing these videos and just as some feedback if reading this, I have met a few photographers in the Wirral and Bamber bridge who have mentioned you and also met one of your clients over at Sparth House on one of my weddings towards the end of August who spoke highly of you that you did at Last drop. Hopefully our paths may meet in the future.

Hi Jon! I know, I hated not having my camera strap, I don't know how I forgot to pack it - I was convinced I would end up dropping mt camera - it has happened before! Haha I agree, the 135mm, although not a lens I use a lot, is pretty invaluable to have in your bag because it does come in handy on a wedding day where you need extra reach. The Sigma is heavy - Sony do a 135mm which is a bit lighter but also much more expensive. That's lovely to hear too, thank you. I don't believe I've worked at Last Drop though?? I will take the kind words though! 😂 thanks again

And I know that Neil rocks a number of bodies to a wedding (2xA9, same as me), but just going out on a little fun shoot there's not a great deal of need for that. At a wedding, you're probably still going to need to swap your lenses out once or twice though, perhaps for a couple of macro shots - or a wide shot. I have a third body, but to be honest id rather just keep things simple and stick with 2 SD cards and use two bodies. (I prefer the 85mm but do like the 35mm shots... )
