I love my Sigma Art 24 1.4 for webcam and at-home vlogging. It's not as intense for the viewer as a 50mm, like how it shapes my face, brings a lot of the room in, and gives a lovely shallow DoF with loads of light. However it's huge and heavy and would much rather travel with 3x lighter primes.
I grew up in Barrie and spent many a summer and winter in North Bay, I can remember seeing the northern lights all the time, so awesome. It’s one of those things I hope to show my kids one of these days. Sadly in London where I am it’s pretty tough to see them.
I’m not a Canon shooter #sonygang , but I couldn’t agree more… I own pretty much 5 lenses (Sony G 20, GM 35, GM 16-35, Sigma 24-70 and a Tamron 70-180) and every lens has its own purpose. The 20mm f1.8 is also a very interesting lens…perfect for landscape, astro or video shooting in low light, it can be a 24mm actually with focus breathing compensation and active steady shot turned on… (x1.2 crop with those). The 35 f1.4 is great environmental portrait lens or street photography at night. The 24-70 f2.8 is my ultimate go to video lens on the FX3 or a good one and done lens on the A7IV if I can take only one lens. The 16-35 & 70-180 is my go to travel combo for pretty much everything… video and photo!
About the Fulji comment you made. I have a question, I saw this on the internet: focal length is a physical aspect of the lens, regardless of sensor size. The only thing that changes is the effective FOV to be used which is what FF needs. The focal length is the focal length Is that right? I get the FOV point. But 24mm on a crop sensor is still not going to be flattering for portrait like a 35mm. I’ve gad this dilema for months since I want to buy my first prime lens for apsc and Im stuck between 24 and 35 mm. I want it to be wide enough while being flattering for portraits
I might need to make a full-length video on this, but you have the right idea! Lenses are marked what their actual focal length is regardless of system. The main difference between FF and APS-C is the change in field of view. We call it cropped-sensor because it effectively "crops-in" on the view. You will often hear people say things like full-frame equivalent, and it's one way photographers compare field of view between different camera formats. For example a 24mm lens on an APS-C camera (Cropped sensor camera) would be (roughly) a 35mm full-frame equivalent in terms of field of view. Speaking from personal preference if I had to pick a portrait lens for an APS-C camera I would still go with a 35mm lens.
What about in body lens correction? Does it work well on your camera? Which ones does it work well on? Which lenses does it work with? I currently only have one lens. Sony FE 85 F1.8does not seem to have distortion. Looking for a lens for product photography, where I dotn have to be so far away. So considered 24mm but not sure cus of the distortion. I want zero distortion.
I bought the Nikon 28mm 2.8 for its size and weight...and i haven't used it that much. Now that I have the Nikon Z8 that might change since I can punch into DX mode for a longer reach.
Similar to you I'm often shooting with 2 lenses on any given shoot and it's usually my 15-35 2.8 and either 70-200 2.8 or 100-500 4.5-7.1 and for the most part I'm at those extremes; 15, 35, 70, 100, 200 and 500mm ranging from landscapes to portraits to cars to sports and wildlife. The focal length I actually almost never use is 50mm as I find it's a compromise in almost every setting I'm in. I'd rather shoot closer to 35mm if I'm capturing a full body or group portrait and something longer like 85-200mm for tight portraits. For cars I try to shoot as long as possible to avoid distortion and only go wider if I don't have any space
Pete McKinnon and his cronies always used to say the 24 1.4 was their favourite focal length and I never understood this. I hate that focal length for most things.
I used everything from 18 to 70 because thosr are all I owned I would say you mean "Close-up", "Half-body" portrait where you don't use 24mm and lower which is more exactly But tbh, we know the rule to break the rule. I shoot portraits at 18mm, as long as you know the moodboard, reason why you do that. Highfashion, they do use a lot
The widest i have for my R7 is the Sigma 15-35 f1.8 which I only just got, so I haven't played around with it too much yet. I'm sort of saving up for the R6mkII and i want to slap on wide angle lens, and keep my R7 around with the 15-35 and my 150-600.
I have 24mm (mainly for interiors), 50mm and 70-300mm lenses but it's a hobby although recently I'm doing shoots for our social media clients and their businesses
I shoot often on an Olympus 12-40mm 2.0 lens (I know I am one of those weirdos who has Olympus and enjoys Micro Four Thirds) and because the 12mm is the widest focal length on the lens I end up shooting at the 24mm equivalent focal length frequently. I love it for landscapes and even portraits once in a while. Though like Will, I would like a wider focal length...been thinking of picking up a wider angle lens at some point 😅
I have 11, 16, 35, 28-70, 85 and 135mm. 28-70mm f2 is on the camera 90% of the time and is too close to 24mm to be bothered about buying one. The 35mm f1.8 is small and light and perfect for a morning street photography walk.
I was almost yelling at the screen in the first part of the explanation before "environment" was mentioned. Like, of course it'll be distorted a foot away from the subject!. Now I'm cool. For context, in a closed environment, for photojournalism and the sort of photo that wants to capture truth and not distort the subject to oblivion, that's the one. Also I shoot on a vintage nikkor lens cause I'm poor and cheap, but that small barrel distortion, and the small fringing defects which are no match to the correction software don't bother at all.
Anthony - how would your use/lack of use of 24mm affect recommending the 24-70? Out of the three 2.8L’s (15-35, 24-70, 70-200) would you say the 24-70 is the best one to skip, since having one is expensive, let alone all three?
It depends on what you shoot. If you're only going to go with one lens 24-70 all the time 100%. If you're only going to do 2 lenses (and don't mind changing) then 15-35 and 70-200, and then you can always pick up a cheap 50mm to fill the gap. I explain a bit more on this in my 24-70 review!
Actually could you make a canon camera and lenses over view? I thought to buy the 35mm nightwalker. Bc I could snap it onto my full frame OR I could put it on my M50 cropped canon and get a 24mm frame right? I'm a bit confused with crop and ff lens swap🙈
I didn't like wide-angle lenses before, but then I got my hands on a fujifilm xt5 camera and a fujifilm 16mm 2.8 lens, and the world became clear about how much you can do with it in different situations.
On a film SLR, most wide are 24mm or 28mm. There are often issue with wider than 24mm, either distortion or vignetting in corner due to light fall off the edge of the image circle. Most wider than 24 also doesn't provide f2.8 for a reason. Learn to read MTF chart instead of review to get the hint.
I own mostly canon cameras, but I will skip this lens due to the modern extreme distortion correction. It's really bad as 16mm and 24-240mm as a raw shooter. Useless, unless you shoot far away or put subject in the middle. Sony 24mm and 20mm has almost no distortion and no LoCA fringing in a similar small size form. Canon rf 35mm 1.8 is still a better buy. I really wish canon made 20mm. I will keep my sony 20mm 1.8 until canon could replace it.
This makes no sense. Going wider than 24 can be too wide, it's not "better". 24 is great for real estate for example. Foe portraits yes 35 > 24 unless you want the wide effect.
Bro I know this is a not very much appropriate but if you have and decent old camera which can shot upto 1080 p 60fps bro can you please donate to me I really need for my content creation and I am 16 years old and don't have enough money to buy😔
@@FaltuFokatVlogs In most situations you don't need 60fps, if you're shooting in midday and you don't want 30fps footage to look stuttery just use manual settings and set the shutter to 1/60 and iso to what you need, if 100 isn't low enough you can try to use some ND filters, even a pair of sunglasses should work.

I'm still using my EF 24 f1.4, mainly for video works. I absolutely love this focal length because it captures everything without needing to zoom
Still waiting for my shorts to be changed with Generative fill 👀
What about your R10 review. You can compare 24mm in R10 Vs 35mm in full frame. Canon need a fast overall zoom lens for APS-c

24 is my most used focal lenght, followed by 85. I don't own any zoom besides a 100-400 for wildlife

I don’t know why he didn’t like 24mm lanes because I am a photographer for 4 years and my most used lens is a 24mm 1.8
It's personal preference. I don't use 24mm often. This is explained later in the video.
I am a Sony shooter. I photograph cars and landscape. My current go to lens is the Tamron 35-150mm f2-f2.8.
You should use a 24-70, I hear it's the key to success...
So why exactly shouldn't people buy that specific lense?
