  1. If i already have a 24-70 2.8 would you recommend getting the 85 mm focal length first or a 35 prime first even though its covered in the 85. I looove the 35mm focal length but I know 85 is very conventional for portraits tho ive never used it :/ my hearts being torn apart help Julia 😫

  2. I'd say your best bang for the buck combo for portrait photography and even wedding (if you have fast legs) is going to be:
    A canon 6D + Sigma Art 35 1.4 + Canon 135 mm f2 + an ETL Canon flash. I'd say you should buy the Sigma brand new with warranty but the body and Canon lenses can be bought from ebay. Flash can be bought ebay or local market place.
    If you really need a 85mm, then an used canon 85mm f1.8 is fine and will save you a lot of money, and it doesn't add much weight to the set up above. 85mm is the golden focal for beginner portrait photography (it's easy to frame for newbie), more versatile than the 135mm but the 135mm is just too good and the 85mm f1.8 would be more usable at 2.8 actually. Just skip the 50mm altogether.

  3. Great video, but I'd rather see the pictures you got without edit, just the raw image out from the camera. Some other thing that would be cool is showing the exif metadata of every picture, would guide viewers in order to know how the lens works best!

  4. Scissor paper rock…I've always known it to be the exact opposite…rock paper scissors. Just thought it was interesting! This vid makes me want to go shoot some environmental portraitssss i miss shooting people!

  5. I think this is the first comparison video that really shows the feelings you get with these two different focal length. Because most of the videos talk about technical stuff which is nice but what makes you choose a lens is what you want to share with the audience or yourself
