- Trying to choose between the 50mm 1.2 and 85mm 1.4? In this video I show you guys a comparison of the two using the same settings + shooting in the same spot.
Also, I know these lenses are very expensive...I started photography with kit lenses, then eventually upgraded to the 50mm 1.4. After 8 years of professionally photographing I recently JUST bought the 85mm 1.4 THIS YEAR. I put off buying it because it cost so much money. So don't worry if you can't afford these exact lenses, if you are looking for something a bit more affordable the 50mm 1.4 and the 85mm 1.8 are GREAT alternatives and do NOT disappoint.
THANK YOU AMELIA FOR MODELING

To me, the more important comparison would be both of these lenses with the same composition. Meaning, moving a few steps forward to fill the frame the same way with the 50 as you did with the 85
agree. but im pretty sure Jessica did already something similar.
Agreed.
Yeah, I agree with this too. That's all I was thinking while watching the video. I think almost everyone did.
Completely agree. It doesn’t make sense to compare lenses with not the same composition. 50mm vs 85mm is not that bad but imagine if she does the same thing with a 50mm vs 135mm without taking a few steps back/forward.
Agreed... I don't see the point in comparing the two lenses if the composition isn't the same....? Especially the "waist up" shots, where neither one was really "waist up" anyways.
I think to compare, it needs to be the exact same shot with both lenses...moving forward with the 50mm.
Second that.
Agree
This comparison serves no purpose. She should have moved away 85mm or come closer with 50mm so that the frame composition would be identical, and then we would see the difference. The girl completely missed the point.
It's needs both so that you can really compare them.
Being that you're staying in the same spot for both lenses wouldn't that give the advantage to the 1st lens that you create the composition with?
this
Should anyone else be studying but instead are watching JESSICA!?
🙋🏽♀️🤣
👇🏼
I mean I can always take another semester... lol
Story of my life
I love both lenses but I do like when more of the scenery is showing so I really loved the 50 lens
"Ever since you got lased you've been different Amelia!" lol. You're so funny Jessica!
This is exactly the kind of video I've been wanting someone to make. Show me how differently 2 focal lengths take the same photo from the same spot. It's a great visual learning experience for the newer photographer. A nice companion video to this would be to then show how you would compose a shot with these 2 lenses to come out with as close to the same image as possible.
But the thing is that it basically doesn‘t matter which lens she chooses if she is not moving because you can always crop the 50mm image closer and it won‘t be different from the 85mm because nothing but the focal length changed and the effect (the object looks closer or further away from the camera) is the same. The actual difference between both lenses would be seen if you take e.g. a full body shot with both lenses and move so you change your perspective and the images look totally different
Charles Dunkley Agreed. There are other things I want to see as well, which she kinda showed with one of the pics. Framing the model the same between the two lenses shows us the background compression differences between the two. But not having that doesn’t make me not give this a thumbs up! I still appreciate it!
It would be interesting to see a 50mm lens on a camera with cropped sensor vs the equivalent (75mm or so depending on the crop factor) on a full frame camera so the view is the same. Could you tell a difference besides different dynamic range or sharpness if the aperture is the same on both lenses? I mean for example a different lens compression or something in the background.
I'm so glad you posted this! I mainly shoot with a 50mm but I've been debating picking up an 85 and you just convinced me.
I love the 50.. I love that extra space it gives. Definitely something I love in my pictures.
Loving the 85 in this vid! Also, you should do something with a 35mm & your 5d Mark iv - that’s the set up I have and it would be cool to see what you do with it🤗
Jessica actually inspired me to start my TH-cam channel! It's not photography (fitness/health) but I wouldn't have started without her!
cannot explain how weird this was, literally looked up this exact title all but to find one of my favorite TH-camrs posted a video about this a few hours ago. Great video!!
Awesome video Jessica! You really helped me choose between the two.
Just in time, Jessica! I have been thinking about buying a 50 mm or a 85 mm! I think it's going to be the 85mm, since I have a fullframe camera and I love shooting portrets :)
This was a fun video. Jessica and Amelia really were enjoying themselves. Both lenses look nice but it seems like the 85 gets the blurrier background more so than the 50, like from a distance but once you get close both do really well at isolating the subject from the background. Love your videos.
i love these videos because they are so fun to watch and i am also wondering if i should get an 85mm lens because i love the bokeh for it. this actually was a great help so thank you!!
What if in the last shot you would get closer with the 50mm and compare it to the 85mm
I died when she was like "ever since you got Lasik, Amelia... you've changed" lmaoooo
Hey Jess, just wondering what your computer setup is for editing? LOVE YOUR WORK X
I learn so much from you . You motivate me
I watched this video 3 times and still I liked 85mm 1.4 lens specially because the bokeh are more soft creamy and giving the beautiful contrast to foreground. It's making all 4 photos more captivating 😍📸👌🏼. My favourite is the 1st 📸👌🏼
Thanks for taking the pictures from the same spot, to see the difference in FoV and DoF while having the same amount of perspective distortion! Most other youtubers change distances to get the same framing, but that doesn't make sense, you can't get the same frame if you change distances, because the perspective changes.
“Ever since you got lasik you’ve been different Amelia” I’m crying 😂😭
Awww man, I was hoping this would be a test with the RF lenses...
Jess you should do a vid on what you think of the eos r. We'd love to hear your hands on opinion of it :)
Absolutely loved this deffo do more videos like this of other lenses please
Fun video. A more meaningful comparison for me would to frame them similarly then see the difference in the optics of distortion, bokeh, color. I have the 50/1.2 RF now and am thinking about blowing (I mean spending wisely) more money of the 85 RF.
Clint Woosley I had a 85mm and I got a 50mm... It’s hard to compare the way she’s doing it because she need to get closer wit the 50mm... U also need to compare it on the computer to see how sharp it looks
You should compare 50mm 1.2 on APSC vs 85 mm 1.4 thanks ;)
Yesss
will you choose the 85 over the 100mm macro L lens when it comes to shooting everything Jessica?
Great video. I'm going to have to buy both lens and hire that model for sure :)
What other settings did you change besides the big 3?
Do you spot focus on the eye and then recompose the shot to shoot or how actually do you focus to get the focus on the eyes right? :)
I like the 85mm too, I guess there is a reason why some wedding photographers have two bodies one with a 35mm and one with a 85mm.
I'm supposed to be working on a client's project right now and here I'm watching youtube videos.
That was a tough choice, it seemed both were useful for the shoot at the set distance. But if I was to choose one, I would choose the more versatile one which would be the 50mm
1.2 because it gives you room to walk in closer and capture the same shot. Just gotta walk a bit and your good. The 85mm 1.4 is a beautiful lens, looked like exact same bokeh too! Incredible! But again, the 85mm 1.4 doesn't have the versitility, it's quite tight and like you said, if someone is just a portrait photographer, that would be a good investment. But I do weddings, and many other things so I need more.. great video! :)
Nice comparison. I also have 50mm f1.2 and 85mm f1.4 IS. I like the rendering and expression of 50mm f1.2, so I'm interested in ef 85mm f1.2L. What do you think about ef 85mm f1.2 vs 85mm f1.4? Which one are you more satisfied with?
凄く勉強になった😭❤️
I own and use both all the time. They both have their place based on the subject. I would recommend both without hesitation.
I think this is a case of style. Right now im in Environmental portait mode so i picked the 50 everytime. Heck i would even go 35
Hi Jessica, Love your videos and style! I would like to see Amature photographer vs pro photographer using a 35mm , 50 mm, and an 83mm lens please? :)
A little help I have a crop sensor cam, what lense to buy 50mm or 85mm I been debating on these two?
Thank you Jessica for all your videos, I am totally new to the channel but I am already addictive to watching your channel,,, and one more thing your videos made me choose the right lens to see my future so THANK YOU SO MUCH 📷
1- 85mm (no need to say anything)
2- 50mm (it is more balanced with the surroundings and catch the eye interest like hey there are objects with different colors and lighting but keep in mind that all are blurred and the model is our focus)
3- 85mm (as a viewer seeing the background is the same {50mm has more of the tree and wooden fence than 85mm} and no more objects visible also I like how the sun light behind her left arm is closer as it adds more vibrant color to the shadow) BUT I would honestly say that 50mm looks more naturel for the photo of a model in a garden and typically more suitable for the scene, but I choose 85mm cause it makes the photo more aggressive and adds more blurriness to the tree leaves so it does not distract the eye away.
4- 85mm (I like how the blur is affecting the fence and sunlight behind her also the tree to her left more than the 50mm but no blur on tree to her right that gave focus depth in the photo also the 85mm zoomed in nicely fitting for the photo more than 50mm lens given the distance)
I always shoot 50mm and the other day I shot with an 85mm and I had such a hard time trying to centre my model in the shot. I suppose it's something that'll take some getting used to, those 85mm photos were beautiful
The queen has posteeed
I really love the 50...those shots were soo good on 50.
Gorgeous model. I don't think there can be a direct comparison or deciding a winner between the two lenses. They just give you different results depending on what you are looking for - each has their merits and serve their purposes.
ive been using 85mm foor portrait photography for a while now but Im wanting to get a 55mm or 35mm.
One thing I realise with the 85mm is that if the model is stretching her legs out towards the lens it makes them look really short due to the compression so Ive been considering something wider to use for full body shots
I would like to see that comparsion with more similar compositions in photos.
Love both lens and I have Sigma 85mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM which it so nice! Have ya try that, Jessica? 😊
LUCKY ME. I’m actually torn between both of these EXACT lenses. And it helped tons. Thanks so much!
I own and love both but I think a better comparison would be to get closer when using the 50L. I love the way people look when you get closer to them with the 50L.
I'm getting is the 35mm F/1.8 for the Nikon any good? I'm thinking of getting it soon. I know Jessica uses canon more but if anyone in the comment has an opinion?!
I think i love your shoot Jess 😁😁😁 always amazing
Hey Jessica(: Did you go to college/ university for photography?
I prefered the 85 :) Amelia is also just so stunning. Great video Jessica 👌
Very helpful, thank you.
Nice video. But it looks like the composition is weighted to the 85mm as the waist up shot greatly showed. Would love to see a video on the two with same composition as I'm more interested in how the bokeh would look. Still a fun video to watch!
I would have preferred to compare the unedited versions vs the ones shown which were heavily edited it seems. Lenses can affect color and brightness which get skewed by editing.
Can you please show a video on how you micro adjust the focus of your 50mm 1.2 on a 5d mark iv. I'd love to have this lens, but weary about my ability to properly set the afma distances and values. Thank you!
Thanks. Getting the 85mm right now, especially with IS for video. . . Emilia, whoawhoaweewhoa. . .
I went back and forth between 85 and 50 but decided on 85 1.2 and wouldn’t take that back it’s so beautiful
I’d say 50mm but I see so much more clarity in the 85mm . P.S I currently shoot with the 24-70 because of you Jess. I really hope to meet you one day.
50 vs 85 in a full frame camera?
I've used 50 1.4 all the time in the past. Now I am using 85 1.4 L and 35 1.4 L combo. But if i had to choose only one lens i think it would be 50.
50mm my Favourite... it can give ur photo a little bit composition using natural or adding some background make powerful the photo.. not only the subject but also the location.
Absolutely love my rokinon 85mm 1.4
I Would also recommend using a white or a silver or a gold reflectors for outdoor portraits photography
How is it fair for the 50mm if in every shot the distance favorite the 85mm???
I always restart Her videos until i get an Advertisement. I love her so much and Yeah we have the same mole on our face by our eye
What you're actually comparing is the ability of a lens to compress the background. Optical testing is so much more complex. You'd have gotten much better comparison results by maintaining the image aspect ratio between the two lenses. Personally, my preference is for the 85mm 1.4. The roughly 1/4 stop difference is nothing to be concerned about especially if the aiming and focus point on your subject is identical.
i love my 85 but i would never go out without my 50 !
Both lens are clutch, that 85mm though was super clean
I definitely find myself gravitating towards my Sony 85mm 1.8 more than my Sony 50mm 1.4. Something about it feels more personable whereas the 50mm feels more product like.
I use 85mm and 50mm Nikon f/1.8ts. For Me the point is to use most suitable lens for that specific situation. Story and telling it in the best way You can is more important. But overall I like better 85mm. :P
I preferred the 85mm. I have a Canon 50mm 1.8 and Sigma Art 85mm 1.4 and I definitely use my 85mm over my 50mm. I also have a Sigma Art 35mm 1.4 and I use that over the 50mm as well.
I personally like 85mm :) I use a Nikkor 85mm F1.8G and the Zeiss 85mm F1.4 Planar! but on another subject! everyone should try out the Tamron 35mm F1.4! thats the latest lens I bought and its bliss
Nice video, beautiful model.
so... what exactly are you comparing? looks of 50mm vs 85mm from the same spot?
feels like all you did was compare your subjective preference towards compositions of different focal lengths...
Get both or buy the Tamron 50-150mm.
I liked the 50mm over the 85mm in all poses except the third one. But I've also noticed that I prefer a wider angle lens for portraiture such as a 24mm, 35mm or 50mm (even though that's not really a wide lens).
Midnight Daydreaming 24 for portraits? You’re a savage 😂
@@denyxrunner You should look at some 24mm portraits. It's a cool style. I got hooked on the look after watching several Mango Street photoshoots. They shoot a lot at 24mm. You can see some of their work on their TH-cam channel if you're unaware of who they are.
Midnight Daydreaming Yes I know their and yes 24mm can give that look if you want that but for me is just a big no. I use it very few times for portraits. For example if I want exaggerated the leg of a model or want to show the background otherwise I don’t like the compression as I’m more on the 135mm for portrait or 85mm for full body shot
@@denyxrunner I understand. To each their own.
could you do the same with 56mm vs 90mm?
wow i saw the tiny difference. glad i got my 85 1.2. But the 1.4 is good for other uses just not mine.
Most of the shots I did like the 85mm but the shoulder portraits I did like the 50mm better.
the 50 catches more of the background ... without being rude, thats not some optical brilliance, it's a photographer trying to compare two different focal lengths but forgetting to adjust her distance to the subject so that the framing is the same. Check out Matt Graingers channel for a far better explanation of the difference.
Could you try to make videos with some more affordable gear, i mean both camera body and lenses! Love your videos, but it's just not some lenses you use i can actually afford. So it would be lovely to see you use some more "affordable" bodies and lenses and show what you can create with them!
Still your one of my farvorite youtubers, so its just an idea!
love u! xx
Her video on gear not making you a better photographer kind of goes over this. She uses a refurbished Canon T61 with both the kit lens and a 50mm 1.4 and shows how it looks. It was a great video!
Jac_Dan_Mcl uh thanks, gotta watch that!
Of all those lens they are cheap version of them. For example if you like the 50mm there is a 50mm f1.8 on all companies system. The canon is cheap as 100€ for example. If you want video I suggest a more wider lens like a 35mm
@@denyxrunner I do have the 50mm f1.8 :) So im looking for something like in between, for cool portraits!
Jassica u great 😍 plz mention me i used 77d eos canon i m 'biggner which i used next lens i m' using kit lens 18-55mm 🥰
Why didn't you have the exact same framing with both lenses? That would have been an amazing comparison. Everyone knows the difference in focal lengths, but to see the difference with the same framing would be of great interest to all photographers. You should do this once more with the same framing for both lenses. It would be an extremely popular video and very very interesting. The present video above as it stands tells me nothing.
Can we get a comparison between the canon 50 mm 1.8 and the 85mm 1.8. Both those lenses are canon's cheapest lenses !
Navreet and Ramneet this will sound silly but expensive glass always has better quality obviously if you are budget 1.8 is perfect
But when you shoot between 1.2 to 1.8 lens the difference is like hd to 4K
What a been interesting if you would’ve walked in closer on the 50 to see which picture would give you better clarity and bokeh
I prefer longer lens usually as I normally shoot 105 for my portraits
Go closer with the 50mm, frame your subject as you would with the 85mm and you'll get get a much better portrait! The 85mm is much better in the zoo, or if you can't get close for a portrait. Its also a very good b-roll lens! both are a must have!!!!
One of the main reason why 50mm is so popular because if you go closer it is like a 85mm, if you step back a little bit it’s similar to 35mm. I really like you and your videos Jess, but it was a “how not to use a 50mm lens” video for me.
i love it.
Now, if we let the model take the pictures of Jesica and we get the same outcome, what will we have learned?
I SWEAR I WAS JUST RESEARCHING THIS
for a better comparaison you should make the same frame with différent apertures
You got yourself a new subsciber 85 all the way for me!
M i the inly one who loved more all the shots of the 50mm ?
You should do a dollar store photo challenge!
U allways using canon, is it better the nikon?
