Which Focal Length For Food Photography 35mm, 50mm or 100mm lens

Choosing the right lens and focal length for food photography is a tightrope. In this video I go over the three most common options with a 35mm, 50mm and 100mm lens.
In my bag I have;
Canon 90mm TS-E lens amzn.to/2YBUPxh
Canon 45mm TS-E Lens amzn.to/33iZwel
Carl Zeiss 100mm Makro Plannar Milvus f/2 www.wexphotovi....
Sigma Art 50mm f/1.4 amzn.to/2N0yi6D
Sigma Art 35mm f/1.4 amzn.to/2M99No6
Canon 5DS. amzn.to/2KpHjnX

    Ridiculously good. A completely unique and useful way to think about focal lengths.

    Thank you so much, I'm beginner and I just bought my 100 mm canon. It's great lens but not the best when you just started food photography and you wanna take top shoots. 100 mm is too narrow and as You said you have to be so far from subject. If I found your video earlier I would have done a better choice. Thanks again for sharing all these experiences

    Needed this info so badly. I’m always left wondering why don’t my bowls look perfectly circular even when I’m shooting straight from the TOP using my iPhone. Looks like I gotta take note of these things.

    Hey Scott. Verbal vomit is good. I have been following for a bit now, and though I am not a food photographer am finding useful and helpful insights into the practise of photography. This one was particularly helpful enabling me to think more about the use of different focal lengths. I am also interested in your experiment with the cambo actus. Are you now shooting more stopped down for depth of field - or do the those lenses just give greater sharpness across the frame? Today I have also viewed your portrait critique. I thought the succinct way you articulated your response was great - from the perspective of someone who didn't submit a photo - it was a great learning experience.

    I think much of what you are calling "distortion" is really just perspective. The reason the glasses look like they are "leaning out" with the 35 is that you are down among them and seeing the sides of the glasses. That's just perspective, not distortion. If you look at the slats of the table they're straight, there's no significant pincushion or barrel distortion.

    @@TinHouseStudioUK I think a lot of people use the term distortion for the odd perspectives wide angle lenses can give, I guess because both of those tend to occur more with wide angle lenses, and they can both make photos look different from what we see with our eyes.

    Very helpful video! I am shooting on a micro four thirds camera. Does the distortion (on a 35mm lens) and lack thereof (on the 100mm for instance) also apply to MFT lenses? I have a 45mm lens which I love and I was wondering if it behaves similarly to a 100mm lens you've talked about in the video thus creating the most pleasing and a non distorted image? Thanks!

    how do you or can you avoid reflection spots on food for example on the beans on your Food 1 page? can you avoid those with a certain light set up?

    I guess the saying, "Two peoples separated by a common language" is somewhat accurate, especially as it relates pronunciation (or, lack thereof). While I very much enjoyed the images in this video, I did have a bit of a problem understanding the speaker who tended to speak rather fast and "swallow" a variety of words. That said, I believe I got the gist of the information. And, again. I do appreciate the information and look forward to seeing more of your videos.

    If its ok it would be great to put a link to see the example jpegs since (while looking at your video) I can't see the difference on the distortion you're mentioning. Also your comment on the sharpness I'm thinking your zeiss lens would blow them out of the water in that regard, even if you compared it with another 100mm. I'm guessing because of your experience, you start noticing the distortions right away (It happens to me when looking at lighting). Also do you make C1 correct the distortion based on their profiles? Does it help?

The thing is I genuinely didn't notice the differences he was mentioning. And you can notice them more if you have the jpeg on your computer and you quickly change between one and the other. Still if he does not want to share the jpegs it's ok too. He's taking the time to make vids and that's good too.
