    This is SO TRUE! People used to shout about how usable and versatile the 50mm focal length was but I found I never had enough space for me to back up and was only really good in wide open spaces or controlled environments. Having switched to a full frame years later, I now see what people were talking about! And properly understood that I was actually at a roughly 80mm focal length on my APSC!

    For portraits I like to still stick to a 56mm to 85mm f/1.4 or f 1.8 crop or not. Regardless of having to move back sometimes, the compression plus the large aperture are hard to beat when working together for separation. People can also start looking a little unnatural if you happen to get too close with those wider focal lengths.

    Great vid! Thanks :) The number on the lens is usually the “true” focal length (on on super zooms or compact cameras you many times will see the FF equiv. field of view. What you mean is that a 50mm lens on an APS-C body gives you a 75mm FF equivalent field of view. This point is that we use the FF equivalent field of view as a reference to compare the field of view on bodies with ither sensor sizes.

    TIPS: If you have taken images on your kit-lense and you want to get a prime lens - your first job is to take your image library and sort it on focal length. Now - beginners have a tendency to use zooms either full wide or full long (depending on the kit-lense zoom range), so expect that most images are grouped around those two focal ranges. But also take note if a lot of images that you like are grouping around either 35 or 50 mm full-frame equivalent (23 or 35 mm APS-C). Then start to consider if the topics of such groupings vary (landscapes/arcitecture/friends around cafe-table typically group towards more 35 mm. More intimate street photography and portraits are probably grouping more around 50 mm equivalent as a rule of thumb). Now it is time to ask "why do I want a prime" while looking at your images. Do you like to get up close to the "action" while getting in some wider context as well? 35 mm is your first frame. Do you like to isolate people/subjects - the 50 mm is your friend (also because it will compress depth of field more and get you a blurrier background). When learning with a kit-lens we are usually not conscious about where we place the zoom-ring. But many will have an instinctive preference - indicating if one likes the wider look or the more closed in look. So trust your own catalogue of images. And remember, if you are getting a new lens and not a new sensor-size, one does not need to convert the millimetres. The only reason why we use 35 and 50 mm "equivalent" is that we grew up with pretty much only one "sensor" - 35mm film. Since the sensor on my Fuji is APS-C with 1.5 crop, it just means that 23 mm is equivalent to a 35 mm analogue camera/full-frame digital camera. Personally, I am leaning to 35 mm. But not totally. Because my first camera (for 10 years) had only one lens - a 40 mm 2.8. By shooting with that alone, the field of view became internalized. I did not really have to look through the viewfinder since I knew what the lens/camera/film was seeing. So I guess I can blame childhood for my "choice".

  • @vasilkosev900
    @vasilkosev9004 жыл бұрын

    When I started photography I got a kit lens and 50mm and most of the time it was difficult to get the frame I want with the 50mm. Therefore I went to 35mm on a crop body and it felt perfect for portraits. As for what tutorials I would really want to see "how to pose a model"'. Keep making great videos!

    I find myself going back to using a 35mm equivalent lens (that would be 23mm on an APS-C camera) for documentary images. Anything wider starts showing distortion, especially in faces near the edge of the image, and anything longer does not always let you get close enough. If I carry one lens it’s that one, not a 50mm.

    I came to a lot of these came conclusions when I started doing photography 😅. One thing to note is the crop factor on Canon is actually 1.6. On Sony it's 1.5. However if you're using a Micro 4/3s system, it's a 2x crop. Also the Canon M50 w/ the 50mm on a speed booster is pretty sweet. It gives you an equivalent focal length of 57mm.

    @@johnmcard3116 Nope. Focal length is a physical spec of the lens. And it's a measurement of how the light is being bent to be focused. A cropped sensor lens has the exact same focal length as a full frame version if they have the same numbers. A 50mm FF lens on FF body has the same 50mm focal length of a APS-C lens on APS-C body. . The thing that changes is the field of view. The optics behave the same. Field of view is cropped as long as you're not on full frame, so just multiply it. APS-C lenses are just made smaller so there's no light "wastage", but the field of view is still effectively cropped. That is why crop sensor kit lenses have a different range (18-55), so that it provides approximately the same field of view (after the crop factor)as a 24-70 kit lens on a FF body. Check out Gerald Undone's video on crop sensors.

    Long story short, A 50mm is the best starting focal distance for all-around shooting. Just know the crop factor of your camera, and what you want to shoot. If you're using a cropped APSC sensor, get a 35mm instead. If your focus is landscapes go about 1/2 that.

    If they wrote anything else but the true value of the focal length on a lens... they would straight up lie. Because a 50mm lens always remains a 50mm lens. The glass is shaped to have it's focal point 50mm from the center of the principal plane. Full frame or not, what you mean is that the angle of view is different when you put different sensors behind the lens.

    50mm is almost always better on full frame. On a crop sensor, it's basically an 85. Not terrible for portraits still, but you're going to have to have a bit of space in your studio. I would recommend for everyone to get a 50mm AND a 35mm.... Both are really close to the human perceptual range of 42mm, but one is slightly telephoto and thus very flattering for facial features on portraits and the other is slightly wide angle and thus you're able to get really close to your subject and shoot a bunch of different stuff in tight spaces. I use the 2 of these primes for like, 90% of my photography.

    Paul Blank wider lenses are closer to how we see the world, so we're not as taken aback when we realize we're too close to get what we want in frame. It's also not long enough in situations where you'd reach for a zoom. I only use my 50 when I have no other choice due to low light. 50 can be great if you have the time and space to experiment, but if your subjects are people they probably aren't patient enough. I havnt used one on a full frame though.

    John Smith They’re not marked with full frame focal lengths, but the actual focal length of the lens (physical dimension which will not change). What people mean when they say ‘full frame equivalent’ is they’re referring to the FOV that you will get if you’re using FF cameras. So the marking in mm is always correct, only the FOV will change according to what sensor size it’s being paired with.

    John Smith They can’t label it like that; that would be wrong. The only ways they can label it correctly are: A) Label with FL (in mm) which they are doing now) B) Label with FOV (in degs) in which case they would have to put both FF & APSC numbers for each lens. C) Put all of the above Sony uses the same mount for their FF and APS-C mirrorless bodies. So even though the lenses were designed for a particular sensor size, they can still be mounted & used on other sensor sized bodies. I understand that the current way of labeling in FL can be confusing, but I can’t imagine a better way to label them (unless you don’t mind super long names for each lens)

    The lens casts a projection onto the sensor. A FF lens casts a larger circle, but for a given focal length e.g. 50mm, the magnification remains the same. So lets say there's a dog in the centre of the image; in each case the dog is the same height on the sensor. There's no [sensor] focal length; there's just focal length. Because the FF lens needs to cast a larger circle than the APS-C lens to cover the larger sensor, the FF lens will usually be wider across. (modern lenses are more complicated internally than the basic single lens optics model which is used to designate their focal length).

  • @okaro6595

    There is no FF focal length or APS-C focal length. The lens has only its actual focal length which is not changed by the sensor size. You just should understand that with a smaller sensor one must use shorter focal lenghts. It seems that you have not understood this. I think you should first understand the basics, then you can use the crop factor and equivalences as tools. If you jump directly to them without understanding the basics you get confused.
