Magic, you're dropping knowledge here... Minimal, no fluff. Functional, tried and true practices. And best of all -- creative, the special sauce. All wedding photographers should be subscribed to you channel! keep up the great work!
Thanks so much! Appreciate your comment!
Thank you Artist ! 👍 My "special Lens" for portraits is the Sony GM 100mm STF
Love your videos magic. Ever since video one when you had only a handful of us subscribers. Anyway this is so insightful to hear what you do with your focal lengths for a wedding.
Thanks for sticking around brother!!! Appreciate that!!
Good grief magic some of your photos are absolutely wonderful❤❤❤ (all your photos )
Awww thanks so much!!
I love your videos, so much to learn. Why does the aperture change when you punch into crop mode on your A7R5 ?
The exposure aperture doesn't change so you don't need to worry about it changing. However because it is cropping in the perceived depth of field changes.
I currently shoot 16-35GM 24-70G MII 70-200 GMII 35F1.4 GM and Sigma 85mm f1.4 art. I am thinking of going all prime If I move to A1 cameras, so like you I can use APSC mode which I have done on my A7RIII. I can't live without my stacked sensor and silent shooting which I get from my A9. I do find it interesting how you and other wedding photographers manage with 24 being your widest, and often 35mm. My 16-35 does not get used a lot but when needed its the only lens for the job, I could cope with the 20F1.8 . Very large group shots both inside and out and fireworks are just two cases when I reach for the 16-35gm
Over the decades, the prime lenses I have used for weddings has changed.
I shot my first wedding in the late 1960s.
I shot my last wedding just before Covid.
1. Yashica-mat medium format TLR with 80mm lens
2. Mamiya C3, C22, C220 medium format TLR cameras with 180/80/55mm lenses
3. Mamiya RB67 medium format SLR with 180/90/50mm lenses
4. Nikon 35mm SLR with 180/85/35/24mm lenses
5. Olympus micro 4/3 compact with 45/20/14mm lenses
6. Fuji APS-C X-Pro 1 and X-Pro2 with 135/56/23/16/12mm lenses
I usually shot with two camera bodies and had a third body as backup.
Always look forward to your vids. What Canon EF to Sony E adapter do you use with your tilt shift lens? Thanks!
Thanks so much! For tilt shift I'm music cheapest mechanical adapter (no control over aperture) which is fine. Before that I've been using borrowed sigma mc-11 and it worked great, but I gave it back and haven't really find a reason to purchase such expensive adapter for mechanical connection that I need
I don’t understand how you can use these large aperture f1.4 or f1.2 for couple shots or group shots. The depth of field is so thin that’s impossible to get both or all of them in focus.
Switched to Fuji for events wedding and cooperate headshots. Do enjoy shooting a lot more, but I do miss the GM's and the sigmas dg Dan. They are just so good.
Same as the bodies, so good that they become boring. Still miss then ;)
Definitely great to have those "creative" lenses as an option and fun to have..like the ones you have mentioned..I just recently picked up the Helios 44-2 lens with the "swirly bokeh"..lol I am intrigued with the "tilt shift" lens..I have seen in your previous videos..that is something I want to try for sure later down the line..
Totally agree! Helios is a great option! And definitely try tilt - you will love it or hate it :P So start with the cheap one haha
Rarely will if ever happen BUT I was documenting a running race and had my camera freeze on me 10seconds before the race started!!!😅😅😅 2 cameras is great advice
Is the aperture of 1.4 for example really effected by the crop?? I don't think so. You can keep your shutterspeed just as fast as it would be without the apsc crop. You don't lose any light. Just Megapixels. Or am I wrong???
Not it terms of the light coming to your sensor, so you can still keep shutter speeds, but in terms of depth of field effect - you loose out on that
Love your Content! On a sidenote: A lot of the pictures are quite personal. Are the people in it ok with you showing it? Do you have them signed something related to that?
Thanks! Obviously some clients do not wish their photos to be published and then it's reflected in contracts. But (to me) that happens rarely - on maybe 1 wedding per 20. Most of my clients are rather chill.
I'm assuming when you use the adapted focal lengths on the lenses that make them punch in, that they don't actually have the same compression or depth of feild effect that the new focal length has in reality?
It matches the focal length and compression. The only thing you loose out is depth of field - so 1.4 becomes 2.1 (you also need to multiply by x1,5). Check my FF vs APS-C comparisons:

Magic I don't shoot weddings, but would like to learn how to use flash for family portraits. Would you course help with this?
Hello, great video. A little help, what is the code for free presets? Thanks a lot
Hello there! You can get 2 free presets when signing up for my newsletter: geni.us/magicletter
Love your content. May I know on what camera you record the videos? Is it with A7R5? I observed A7R5 overheats in 4k 60
Thanks brother! I use A7SIII :) But it did overheat for me couple times in the peak summer, when my office was like a sauna and I was recording long sessions (over 1 hour).
Thank you so much for the response! I bought an A7R5 recently. I’ll go through your setup videos and configure my camera. Thank you for all the great content. Happy Thanks giving 🙏
My pleasure! Great to hear you find it helpful!
🔊 this is how we do it 🔊
haha!
Let's flip the track
Bring the old school back...
Mam pytanie odnoście ustawianie czułości śledzenia AF, na jaką czułość ją ustawiasz w swoim Sony A7R V do robienia reportaży ślubnych,. lub jaką w ogóle polecasz ustawić.
Hi Magic. Another great video - it's got me thinking about your set up. One question if I may, when using a lens at it's native focal length on the A7Rv are you shooting at 61 MP, or can you set the A7Rv to shoot 26MP on say 35 and still be on 26MP when you punch in? I'm not familiar with the A7Rv, I've been an A9 user for years but love the idea of what you do.
Hey Neil! Thanks! Yes, so on A7RV you can use medium RAW (it’s called lossless compressed medium) that has 26mp. But whenever you turn your camera into APS-C mode it does crop from full RAW, and that also gets you 26mp.
Hi Magic - thanks for getting back to me, very interesting. Any news on a new 85 1.4??@@MagicWeddingPhotographer
Oh my god) what are you talking about… tamron 28-75 g2 with a7 iv. And thats it. And only one memory card. Okay… 2 batteries. And flash with umbrella and you will get unbelievable photos.
Just wishing and waiting….forever…..for the 85mm 1.2 they showed photos of a couple years ago!!!
Don't remember Sony showing photos of a new 85 1.2 🤔
Try use on for Weddings SONY 11mm apsc:) on a7R5V:) I have tested and superb effects that will gives you around 16 mm on FF mode:) Every one each depend photos or Videos on Weddings are very ok..
If you would only choose 2 prime lens and 2 body… which lens would be it?
For me, 35mm f/1.4 and 85mm f/1.4 on full-frame bodies or 23mm f/1.4 and 56mm f/1.2 on APS-C bodies.
i like 20, 50, 85, and 135, but no 35, it's too close to 50, thanks for video
🙏🙏
Thanks!
Tamron 35-150.
My choice would be Sony 24mm 1.4 GM which also works as a "35mm 1.4" in APSC mode on Sony A7RIV+V with 26 megapixel, Sony Zeiss Sonnar 55mm 1.8 ZA, ZEISS Batis Sonnar 85mm 1.8 and Sony 135mm 1.8 GM, two Cameras, one with the 24mm and the other with either 55, 85 or 135mm.
Vert good choices! Just to add my few cents to this as I was considering 24/1.4 on main body switchable to 35mm, but... then it's a 35/2.1, which I don't want for my main lens. I really want that 1.4 on 35.
Just remember everyone, a 50 will always be a 50. In crop mode it still has the compression of a 50. No different than cropping in post except you save on file size .
Yes but because magic shoots in medium raw 26mp he uses crop mode to crop in camera without loosing resolution. He can’t crop in post to the same level unless he shoots at 61mp which would case a workflow slowdown because of the unnecessarily large file size.
@@bartonyszko4512 Yeah what I did NOT know is that if you shoot Medium Raw at 26mp then change the crop mode, it still has 26 mp. Thats pretty awesome. I assumed it would shave that down to lets say 12 mp.
Absolutely, it’s super handy
