Side note I might be old old what's F/M/K

Sorry to be one of the only people that's not super positive about this video, but IMO it's not that helpful. When comparing lenses it's would be more effective to see how they match-up in similar circumstances (shot from the same distance, or shot to include the same framing on the subject). And also seeing how each would be superior in different situations. Your style is great and works for your images, but for a review like this it doesn't help to see what a 135mm lens will do for a full-length portrait. It's strength would be the compression you'd get from a tight headshot, like the 70-200 (shot at 200mm). Your videos are, of course, gorgeous and well-produced, not discounting that, but if you're gonna go to the effort of this comparison just figured it could have been a little more practical. Just my thoughts.

definitely understand your viewpoint. we tried taking similar portraits at the end (like the thumbnail photo), but what's also important is demonstrating how each lens is utilized to showcase its own strengths. so we wanted it more like "here's how we'd shoot with this lens" as opposed to "here's how each lens looks at 15 feet away from our subject" because in reality, you likely wouldn't shoot like that. other channels are probably better at doing more precise comparisons.

@@MangoStreet What Jaron Horrocks wanted to say is that you didn't show the real advantages of some lenses. His example with the 135mm is great. You said in your video that you wouldn't feel connected to the model with the 135. But you didn't showcase the potential of the lens. Get a tight headshot, get some backlight and maybe some blurry foreground and the lens will show its potential at f 2.0 and 135mm. It's not necessary to shoot each lens from the same distance, but as you have shown the potential of the 24mm 1.4 you should explain the advantages of the other lenses for people/portrait photography.

Wonder why there's a cheap one for 50mm and not for other focal length

Out of your photos, the 35mm and the 85mm are my favorites. Thanks for making this comparison between so many different focal lengths.

24-70 is my favorite. Macro lenses are in general having less distortion so they are better for everything. My sigma 105 macro is fantastic for portraits.

Love all the lens but the price makes me hate them.

35 is my favorite of all time! i just love how it looks very documentary and allows you to be closer to your subject

24-70 is my favorite, because you can use it for literally almost anything. It's so versatile. And I HATE having to switch lenses when I shoot, and as I shoot on the extremes at 24 and 70 it's nice to have the zoom.

I enjoy the 24-70mm and the 85mm combo, I agree that it really depends on your style of shooting as well as the type of photos you want. Great video!

Great video, but the “nifty-fifty” is actually the 50 1.8, at least according to most, since it’s a great lens and for a very inexpensive price

I'm a sucker for my 50mm because it's not the lens I learned on but the lens that made me fall in love with photography. It feels pretty versatile to me, too. I was able to get a lot of different kinds of shots with it when I only had a couple lenses.

That 85mm and 100mm macro shot was so amazing guys ! Also the 24mm lens and the 35 can't choose with those photos because all of it are just fantastic.

I appreciate this video. "Here's the lens, and here's how we used it." I'm a big fan of the Mango Street videos because of the practical approach-coupled with the beautiful way of showing the different subjects. This one let me figure something out about a lens I've been struggling with using. It has been chosen for a project I am working on for it's aesthetic. Reading the comments, I am in disagreement with some of the more technically oriented comments. Here's why: Any lens we choose becomes a creative choice. It's all subjective, a decision made by each of us as individual content creators. None of us knows everything. We never will. That's the beauty of what we do. Constant learning, constant dynamics. This video may not be what some would term technically precise, but does an extraordinary job to let you see the emotion created by each lens. It's valuable to any of us charged with generating compelling content.

Love that shutter sound that goes with the music. GG!

If the background isn't complex with many objects like pic taken on a busy street or on a architectural/landscape photography where background is equally important, cloning the same background to the white parts is not that hard work. I assume you're taking portrait or anything where background is significantly blurred by the lens which is even easier to work with. Just lookup cloning tool, Photoshop basics like selection tool or the easier spot healing tool then you're fine. I assume its takes not more than 7 mins

I always love these kind of videos. Its really helpful when choosing another lens purchase. Thanks!!

I’ve been using the 50mm for about 8 months, recently got the 35mm and i’m loving it!!

The 85mm stood out IMO. ☺ Also liked the 135 and the 70-200 👌 but they're too heavy, 85mm is the sweet spot IMO

The 35mm is actually pretty legit, fo sho! Dig your vids! Love your content! And you guys are always so fun with your subjects! It helps those who haven’t worked with talent before, get an idea for how to direct/include them with the collaboration of the production. 🤓🤙🏼

I liked it best on the 35mm and 85mm. Nice video, thanks!

Wow great timing for this great video! I have a big portrait project for school and I also happen to be looking for a new lens for my personal clients! Thank you, this video was ssooo helpful and informative.

I’m glad you showed how all of the lenses captured the exact same shot at the end. Its hard to compare how they work when you’re using different backgrounds and lighting.

Great video, I personally love shooting portraits with 50 & 24. 24-70 is a great lens as well.

85mm just spoke to me the most! Thanks for the nice comparison, guys!

I like how you guys sound very natural in this video and not scripted like some of your other videos! 👍🏼

This was an awesome video. My personal favorite is the 35mm but I'm saving up for the 85mm. Thanks for making it!

for me, the 105 1.4 art is my favorite, when in studio, outdoors its a toss up for me with an 85 1.4 or the 24-70 2.8

Yay new video! * grabs popcorn *

The Canon 100mm f/2.8L used to be my favorite portrait lens because the sharpness, lack of distortion, and the compression but then I got the Canon 135 f/2L and it instantly became my favorite. Ended up selling the 100L since I don't shoot macro. I personally think the 135L is the most beautiful, as far as sharpness, shallow depth of field (not that I'm a bokeh junkie) and the lack of distortion. I also own the 70-200 f/2.8L but almost never use it. I think the 135L looked the best in the images you shot as well (at least as far as what looked most flattering on your model).

Guys this vid is fantastic! Thank you! I have a 24-70 and a 50. Definitely feeling the lack of a wide prime. The 35 is a winner.

Sooooo, it seems like you just need Jasmine to get great photos, regardless of the focal length.

The distortion at 28mm in close on the model's face actually widens it lending to a more innocent expression. The focal lengths have their strengths and weaknesses. I like them all.

I honestly enjoyed the nifty fifty. Looked amazing!

they've shot so many of these videos with jasmine now that i got invested and followed her on instagram

I personally love the 105mm macro lens and 70-200mm :D

omg i love the model's hair!

I think the 50mm F/1.2 wins at the portrait session, because it does separate the subject, but not too much, creates a lovely bokeh and it is one of the sharpest out of all.

Gorgeous model ❤

@The Last Sword Nothing is really the best as it comes down to personal taste, but the 85mm and up distort very little and give a very balanced look overall, especially with a few subjects in the frame. The DOF is amazing on them as well, you can choose to separate the subject completely from the background creating a backdrop of any place you want. The most practical advantage though is the distance makes your subject feel much more comfortable, especially if they are not professional or experienced, with people like that I will usually choose to shoot 85mm at least so they wont feel that 'in your face' effect the 35mm might have doing headshots.

@The Last Sword are you shooting on a crop sensor or full frame camera? On a crop sensor I would say an 85mm isn’t ideal but on full frame I like it for portraits!

When I first picked up my canon 7d I got a sigma 35mm and fell in love with it since it was the only one I had. I have the R5 with the 35mm 1.8 RF and it’s great but I did just pick up the 50mm 1.2 RF so I’m excited to do some portraits with it.

This channel is extremely underated

for me without a doubt, my favorite is a 135mm, but it totally depends on the situation, the 85 mm is also really good, but you´ve got to always bring your 35mm aswell

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

i think the 35mm and the 85mm balance both extremes of focal length really well. neither are too wide nor too far with the separation of foreground and background.
