I said the same thing he helped me choose the Sony A7RIV & the Sigma 105mm during the pandemic & I've taken off into greatness I'll always remember Brandon Cole!!!!

Thx Brandon and Sarah, you guys rock to the MAX. Great shots!

They’re definitely in the same ballpark. The 35mm seems to say “I am in this place”. The 50mm seems equally weighted between the environment and the model. The 85mm emphasizes the model and says “this is who I am”. The 105mm and 135mm takes that to the next level. They seem to say “look at me because you can’t look anywhere else” as the model commands attention. The 200mm f/2.0 is so extreme that the bokeh almost becomes the star of the photo. My 300mm f/2.8 brings the background in so close and blurry that it almost looks like a bad photoshop.

Traded my Sigma Art 135 1.8g for the 105mm 1.4E. Before my favorite focal length was the 85mm, but since I got the 105 it is my favorite portrait lens. Awesome video as always. Keep up the Awesome work.

Great Job!!! Absolutely amazing. I have had every single prime lens from the 35mm to the 135mm made by Sigma. I personally prefer the 40mm and the 105mm. This sums up my personal preference on those. You literally can't go wrong with any of these lenses. She killed it with the outfits and poses, and You brother ... you are right up there!!! Keep grinding.

Hi Brandon, I have been watching different videos of yours from time to time. Very nice work my man! Your videos are really, I quite like your artistic style how you show your subject doing different things, how you show the background/surrounding area, the way you speak looking like you are having fun with it and also teaching us too. Great work man!

It is exsolerating to see how true art and gadgets falls in a hand of an artist photographer who can portray, frame by frame, combine and elevate glory of it all in One ....well done

You are a dope photographer. I definitely enjoy your videos and the knowledge you give. I am an aspiring photographer and you make it look so easy and fun. I’m a canon guy now but man are you pushing me to make a switch to Sony. Keep going bro!

Another awesome video. Thanks for ensuring we know WHY one would us the 85mm and 105mm. I remember years ago I was recommended and purchased wrong lens for portrait photography. The lens my buddy was using which I purchased was a wide lens for landscape not portrait. Lol. I think it’s dope how you make it make sense. You take it down to parade rest for us. Thanks again for great video. You are the complete package when it comes to photography.

Great video! I liked the energy, and the content. I have the Sigma 85mm and just love it. I'm definitely thinking about adding a telephoto to my kit. I'm considering that 105 or the 135 as my next lens. You got a new sub!

Actually preferred the 85 shots on the bridge. Since it was a pretty sweet location. I feel if you have a somewhat nice location grab the 85 1.4 or A 50 f1.2. If you don't want to show the environment too much and focus on the model, like in a busy street I'd go with the 105.

Thanks for review. Hello from Kazakhstan!

Another great video. Super hot model and great shots. The video is really clean looking too. I had both these lenses when I shot Sony, loved each of them for different reasons. My work has completely changed this year. Im using Canon Rebel DSLRs and plastic toy lenses and doing that soft lo-fi film look which is completely opposite of this and what I used to shoot ha.

Good shoot A few questions If you are on a set fun shoots why not double light? Why not use a dish like the mola Demi ? Lenses as you know are just tools in our trade if you have an 85 and you want to isolate the model I would have gone to the 135. Happy to see where you are now from where you started. Keep working

Hi , nice , tutorial, what should I use for Movie shooting ? Sigma , 105 mm or the Sigma 85 mm ? Thanks

Whoever edited the video mislabeled the second half of the shoot with 105, they labelled it as 85 in the stills. Great shoot!

I was looking at the 105mm prime, thanks for the video

I already had the 85mm and now I own the 105mm. I can't wait for the weather to break so I can get out and shoot with it. Also, can you give us the name of the 22 inch softbox and ND filter that you used? I have the Glow 24 inch beauty dish. How do you think the Glow compares to the one you used in this video? As always, you are my go to guy for instructions. You always deliver great content while making us all feel inspired to go out and shoot! You always get the most out of the models. Thanks again!

Another great video, thanks. How much power were you using on the AD400 when able to stay within sync speed? Since using 6stop clip in filters I’ve found my AD300 has plenty of power. I actually sold my AD400 because since using ND’s. I used to own the 104 mm f1.4 Art, and loved the output I got from it. It really has that 3D pop. But the Sigma 85mm I’m using now, has ‘almost’ as a good a look but is so much smaller and lighter. Plus I prefer the closer working distance to the models.

@ErwinRoossien

Жыл бұрын

@@steverogers1039 Could... But slower recycle times, more heat generated, cuts the life of the light. So I'd stick with the 400, always good to have that extra light to overpower the sun. Sometime the 400 isn't enough, why gamble with a 300? I would even prefer two ad200's and bring a duo head bracket. Way more versatile than a 300. In bright situations, use 2x200 400w. In a little less bright or dusk, you can place 2 lights.. A key and a hair/rim light. I guess it's personal preference.

Great shooting brother. The lenses are almost twins. But I just like the 85 mm focal distance.

Hey Brandon, Amazing videos, the only thing I don't get, is why you search\look all of these amazing locations and shoot with 1.4 and totally blur them. But apart of that amazing channel.

I traded the 105 for the 85. It was a little long for my studio space. Plus I also have the 35 and it was too big of a gap. Also the 105 is SO damn heavy!

Funny to hear because my lens choices are the GM 35mm, Nikons 300mm 2.8 with the adapter and now this 105mm from Sigma which I just recently tried and ordered, which I will be having in place of my GM 135mm that I sold! Can't believe I spend that much money on a 135 GM, when this lens has been right in front of my nose all this time and now thanks to my friend, I had a chance to do a shoot with it and soon it will be in my main kit!

Great video as always! Buts lets be real the only one that cares about the focal lengths is us photographers. Our clients just want fire shots. 85 is my go to 80% of the time mainly because of space.

Very true but focal lengths are extremely important because they are the tools that gets the job done. And in order to know what tool to use depends on the wishes of the client. Yep they might not understand but thats why they pay us.

Sometimes even at 1/8000 of a sec is still not enough to stay underexposed but more so the ability to get the full power out of your flash. When you go into HSS you lose power from your flash
