35mm VS 50mm VS 75mm FOR VIDEO 👉🏻 HUGE Difference!! | Ft. Sirui Saturn Full-Frame Anamorphic Lenses

[@ConradSly]

I think it's worth mentioning that the effect he's describing is called compression. I think it's worth knowing this term if you're really getting into photography, you will hear/read about it plenty. This term refers to the distortion caused by the focal length, not file compression. Longer focal lengths compress the subject and background to make them appear closer, which also has the effect of flattening the subject, making them appear slightly wider than shorter focal lengths.

[@undefwun2135]

Perfect example of this on a photo job yesterday. During summer on Sundays I work on a party cruise boat here in Sydney, Aus taking pics. When taking pics of people with the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the background, depending on where it is in relation to the boat I try to zoom in as much as possible given the space I have to work with to make it much more prominent in the frame. I actually do it on phones to, because a lot of people ask me to use their phone too. Try to at least set it to 2x to get the shot and then I always get the comments on how the shot looks different and better than the one they tried to take.

[@nexttvc]

I love the 75mm More in every shot. more cinematic

[@Changiz]

Your videos are always very educational and informative. One can always get a lot of value by spending time watching them. Keep up the good work. Well done.

[@Neil_Hasnat]

Wow! It’s 200k ❤ 🎉 Congratulations Joris. Have been watching u since u had 3k All the very best mate

[@MarkHawk]

As someone who has been doing a lot of VFX post production only for sometime, I found this super useful. Especially the segment of examples around @5:30. Great breakdown of lens differences and use cases while in motion.

[@joaocardoletto]

As a storyboarder I spend a lot of time testing different focal lengths to make my scenes and compositions work on 3d sets, with hand drawn characters added on top of the render. A video like this is awesome for me to understand with real life examples what I see simulated on the software. Focal length can completely change the mood and dynamic of a scene. Awesome video!!!

[@dankelly]

Wow!! This is so cool! Seeing the comparisons is fantastic to prove your point.

[@KipJackson]

Bro I don’t really be on these tutorials like that anymore because people really push products but I really like the way you broke down the movement aspect of focal length and how that could create a different feeling in your videos Overall man, I’ve been following your channel for quite a long time and love the fact that you have shorts, Content and longform contact and you’re doing a great job

[@GTheoMedia]

Awesome comparison bro , you really highlighted the telephoto distortion very well in these cases. Hopefully amateurs will see the difference and never say you could use a wider lens to get the same focal length or vice versa.

[@blacksheep7576]

I knew about how the background compresses on longer focal length lenses, but I never realized how dramatic it can be until I saw these comparisons Very cool!

[@robertlewisvideo]

Love it !!!! I have the same problem explaining things to people that do not really listen due to their own issues. People that really matter actually listen. Their choice. Listen, Don't listen.

[@pizzazemle6262]

2:34 That rant 🤣🤣Made my day

[@AustinHartt]

Great reference shots for doing shot prep on future projects! Love seeing these kinds of tools put out by creators.

[@JaredHoyman]

Excellent explanation on the focal lengths. I usually just delete hecklers comments and not engage, but your approach is more entertaining.

[@Fedorevsky]

Yeah, kind of reminds me of how comedians tackle hecklers when doing stand up, use them as an example in their routine

[@jiasheng]

love the head shot and the feet shot for movement; generally like dialling the focal length down for more intentional movement shot, like of the feet, while the head shot is on 75mm to feel more personal to the subject while distancing the background away from them. great video

[@SuperHappyGiantRobot]

I’ve been creating for a long time. This is one of the best films I’ve seen on focal length in awhile.

[@ХЕЙТЕРЫ-ы2б]

Great comparison, bro! It would be superb to compare an anamorphic lenses to normal one with the same focal length and the doubled.

[@achildofanarchy3299]

Agreed. I'm watching this because I'm interested to know how, if I need to at all consider different focal lengths for anamorphic vs spherical.

[@ХЕЙТЕРЫ-ы2б]

@@achildofanarchy3299 interesting and sad fact: there is no such a comparison on the internet. Thsnks to Joris we have at least these videos..

[@AndreSjoberg]

The world of «the less you know the more you think you know» is a wonderful place, filled with wonderful people with wonderful urges to tell other people what they think they know … not. Love videos like this, thanks for the examples, the lenses look sweet :)

[@DavidWinstead]

Dang man, that was a great demonstration of different focal lengths, awesome job, Thanks for Sharing!

[@peterleix]

I was a photographer before lucking into professional cinema and I believe it should be part of training for would be cinematographer to make fine art photographs or commercial portraits . When you have one frame to tell a story all of those things you mentioned above, characteristics of different focal lengths, distortion, foreground/background relationship you have to learn and employ to be successful. After a year or so I had a great visual vocabulary and when I was given a shot a cinema I succeeded because of that knowledge. I had a class where we had to make 50 portraits with one focal length in two days, staring at single frames of one focal length you get a lasting idea of what they all do differently and then can make educated choice when to use them

[@cafier]

This review of the Sirui 75mm was exactly what I needed to hear ! Thank you for that very well composed rant haha!!

[@fellowcitizen]

Excellent video; and especially the illustrations. Subscribed!📡🌠

[@SpectreSoundStudios]

Wonderful example with the walking shots! That's an instant subscribe from me :)

[@FranciscoAlvarezTV]

I'm looking at this anamorphic lens as a great talking head video that will enlarge my studio. Do you think I can get away with sharp videos if I were to stay still? I'd also love to use it for anamorphic photography. What are your thoughts?

[@smokingkippers1173]

That was all well shot. Nicely done, in a few minutes I picked up a lot. Thanks.

[@marcosuozzi]

Sadly sony and Canon don‘t offer open gate recording 😞 So I ordered a 50mm Saturn for my Lumix S5ii. Still hoping for a Firmware update for my Canon 🤞

[@daeuslamb8191]

Love this. Would be cool to have some breakdowns about why you personally choose certain focal lengths for different short

[@mr.b6789]

Yes, I know in movies wide angle lenses are used for establishing shots, close-ups are often made with longer focal lengths. Obviously switching these around doesn't make any sense. But other than its practical use, is there a reason Hollywood uses lenses this way?

[@stuffa01]

great video!. for Narrative film making, closeups with a wider lens makes the viewer feel "in the action" up close and with the character whereas the longer lens makes the viewer feel as if there watching on from more of a distance. both are very useful in story telling.

[@jeydubc1828]

Really nice breakdown. One of the best comparisons I've seen. Thanks!

[@nickdorenkamp959]

Yeah focal length is important to know. I do alot of painting and while I don't use professional cameras, I still have to decide stuff like that even though the camera is not moving. In other words it's helps me think like a cinematographer and director in setting up my shots.

[@michaelbernabe9868]

thanks so much for this! now I know which sirui focal length lens I'm going to purchase first. great video!

[@CichlidCharmer]

This video is a masterpiece. I love your videos so much I can barely take it! 🤩🤩🤩

[@wellingtonoliveira3254]

Can you make a video on the wider angle? Like 16 vs 20 vs 24.

[@Frank-yb9hf]

I do photography. No filming. But man, your video helps me a lot. Thanks for this comparison. ❤❤❤

[@DynamicPhil84]

There are definitely some interesting storytelling opportunities associated with using lens outside of their "normal" use cases for sure. But in general, it is just more convenient to use a wider focal length for wide shots and a longer focal length for closeup shots. Like, you're not going to shoot a wide shot of a building or architecture with a 75mm lens, it requires being too far away from the building and makes getting the shot more difficult than it needs to be. 35mm is a unique and versatile focal length. But wider than that, other than for vlogging, I wouldn't shoot portraits with a lens wider than 35mm.

[@PedroPascoaPedro]

I too enjoy the look of the 75 mm better. Do you think it's plausible to use this lens without a good stabilizer?

[@FabioCormack]

That's a really great video, thanks buddy!

[@PlushDez]

Never thought about this in the same way. Very informative video.

[@chromaticvisuelle]

Please get the 50mm !!!! So curious to see the difference now! Great video!!!

[@alenlenia]

how i wish there was a 50mm involved here ... amazing review!

[@f.l6316]

This was perfect! Thanks for sharing this knowledge my friend. You gained a subscriber.

[@GaryCunninghamyouareenough]

Always so helpful - cheers, Joris...great video 🤘🙏

[@secretgoldfish]

Nice description.....but I sill don't understand why you'd shoot anamorphic on a good full frame digital sensor (with LOTS of subsequent post crop if you did) ....or if your camera didn't have a larger (and more square) open gate option. On the 5RC for instance it has a large (bigger than 2:1) full frame sensor like the RED where you can achieve a 50mm anamorphic feel with a fast 25mm prime.

[@hpraarts]

big focal length makes object looks and feels small, while small focal length give more action

[@KEHA14]

Great video. Let be the comparison especially with how the background moves differently

[@dirkwitthuhn5496]

WOW! Very good comparison. Learned some new things

[@templarCH]

Great video and explanation!

[@Panther-]

This is a video I am storing on my favourite bas for sure.

[@xavidub]

That video earned you a sub. Excellent exposition.

[@CaleMcCollough]

Some times you have to get rid of eye sores in the bg so longer focal length works better.

[@JulieMeikle]

Hi Joris, can you give me advise on a lens to use for makeup videos? I've purchased the Sony FX30 to film and live stream. I'm confused on what lens I should get.

[@TheKlovin]

Thanks a lot for the review. Nice quality, really love it.

[@toneohm]

love that Ramones shirt!! i have one somewhere but i ended up shrinking it down too small years ago

[@BlackMagicFools]

Question! What’s the difference between a regular fullframe lens vs anamorphic next to eachother? I’m a 50mm guy but a 50mm anamorphic is slightly wider due to the compression… right? I have no way to test myself, but if you can compare let’s say 35mm full frame regular lens with 35mm anamorphic? I’d be down :)

[@ekshoe-kun]

Damnn!! Excellent Man!! Such a great work.

[@The_Cat666]

Finally, I get it. Thanks for explaining so well.

[@onlinetraderucom]

Thanks. Saturn 35mm + 100mm set good?

[@topicruben]

You’re 💯% right! Thanks for all the good info. Cheers

[@zzalg]

Super explanation. So easy to understand.

[@nusamedia]

Pure knowledge.. Tqvm!

[@victorfranzani6427]

what a great explanation!!!! congratulations

[@ayohbami]

Question about anamorphics, How does one get the full image without the vignetting that comes after a desqueeze?

[@vikknesvidz825]

I love 35 & 50

[@MathiasAmling]

Joris to be honest I would have preferred more variety in your example shots, I didn't care about the guy that told you "these lenses are for that, those lenses are for that" as much, I came here to see how the lens characteristics are in different locations, you did that perfectly with your 35mm video :) In this video you used the majority of the time to debunk the guys remarks, wich could be a topic for another video, but not necessarily for a specific niche of lenses. But take that as constructive criticism, I still like your videos so thank you for that!

[@JorisHermans]

Noted! 💯🙏🏻

[@Obscurainc]

wow this video really helps..I can only pick up one lense for beauty fashion shots, do u recommend the 35 or 75 for me? thank uu

[@graemetowner7257]

so size doesn't matter ! very nicely explained..

[@eyesonren]

I love telephotos. My Sony fe 85mm is such a fun lens to use I just wish I could get closet with it

[@ShiningJMaster]

I really appreciated this video!

[@juanenco]

I bought the 50mm, thanks for the video ¡¡¡¡¡

[@J.K.productionsDE]

With just a 50mm lens you completely defied the message of the video. Or I am wrong and you already have other focal lengths

[@JorisHermans]

Neutral or blue flare? 🤔 I'm curious about the neutral flares 🙃

[@juanenco]

Neutral, L mount. I have a Lumix S5 II

[@juanenco]

I only have this anamorphic. I took risks but I am very happy. If you only have to buy one, buy the 50mm lens.

[@monroyfilms9085]

You're awesome for this. Thank you

[@brawmedia]

Excellent video learned alot there . Tempting me to get a 75mm

[@jimmoss9584]

Great Presentation.

[@keef69]

Nice demonstrations

[@CyndiCaviedes-z1b]

So helpful I bought the 35mm but I actually like the 75 more now :( damn

[@YoungBlaze]

question , what nd filter ?

[@wildsfilms]

do you know of a monitor that can de-squeeze the 1.6X? Absolutely love the look of these lenses.

[@maximux777]

I think Atomos Ninja V or Feelworld. You have to make little search. I'll do that when I will have money for anamorphic lens

[@BrendanMariani]

Small HD monitors will

[@Parisevecreates]

Great video 🎉

[@achildofanarchy3299]

Great video. I learned something I didn't before. What I'm interested to know how, if I need to at all consider is do I need different focal lengths for anamorphic vs spherical? Example being will a 35 in anamorphic fit the same scenario that I might use a 35 spherical for? Is it simply the change in aspect ratio or is there more. ASide from the other interesting looks that anamorphic provide.

[@madedigital]

very good overview

[@jandzoe9249]

Since there is a Fujifilm X-mount version of these I was wondering how they will behave on the APS-C sensor. Is it the same as with "normal" lenses so that with the 35mm Saturn I would have a 56 mm anamorphic lens on the APS-C sensor?

[@johnclay7644]

good lens video.

[@mr.b6789]

I'm very curious if one could buy a 50mm lens and use focal reducers and focal extenders to make shots comparable to 75mm and 25mm? I recently bought a 0.5x reducer, but unfortunately it only acts as an 0.765x reducer on my aps-c camera 😄 I should have known the crop factor would play a part in it.. But maybe it could be a cheap alternative for buying the full set?

[@a2roland]

Cool! Thanks!

[@dogdadoutdoors]

I hate this fact about perspective, I'm saving for my first camera for video (but done lots of photography) and whilst I'd love to buy a cheaper APS-C camera and lenses, I just prefer the perspective of greater focal lengths and that would make the working distance too far. Dam it!

[@anandaceramicart6951]

Thanks a lot for that video! I have to make a decision and i was sure about choosing the 50mm because its closest to what we see in natural. I have to do product photography as well and the fokallenght as well has an effect on the shape of things. When you imagine that a tree is closer or more far away.....the shape of a thing in a closeup will be effected too. You might say omg why fucking use an ana for product photography ahahaha yeah I know but I want something that can provide my needs in every creative direction that I fallow atm and thats not only product but its too and money is low so.....let me say again I do appriciate this video a lot. It shows the matter so clearly! I wasn't concious about the dynamicthing but yeah sure. So thanks for that. This is gold!

[@VergornTruthSeeker]

Omg I was really looking someone like you to explain that . I wish I can call and get advice from you?

[@adilakreyi7225]

You are correct, it seems that a 75mm lens is better than a 35mm

[@LGPhotoArt]

Nice comparison, thanks!!! Now you make me spend 3 times what I had planned to spend..lol :)

[@fernandopadua1643]

Thank you for making this type of content. I am relatively new to video making, I am trying to learn as much as I can, and your videos explain with the perfect amount off knowledge and humor. I just L/S/B (Liked/Subscribed/ Belled). thanks again and keep it up.

[@Rodemptionfilms]

How does it compare to Sony 85mm f1.8 for video?

[@JorisHermans]

Completely different tools. Impossible to compare.

[@DawoodMurad]

excellent information

[@oceanus123]

Thanks a lot man.

[@DrFurb]

Brilliant thank you ❤

[@lucabastianello9830]

Rantman we love^^

[@nothingtobeconcernedabout7477]

Anyone to give me some input about the difference between the Saturn and Venus line of Sirui's anamorphic lenses (besides weight and the possibility of getting either neutral or blue streaks on the Saturn). I havent seen any reviews that actually talk about the differences between the two anamorphic lines. Until now it just feels like the newer Saturn line is basically a Venus which is less heavier and cheaper. That just feels like there is some other difference between the two nobody is telling us about...

[@fremekwame]

I can tell this commenter REALLY got to you. Thanks to whoever it is... we get some great education lol. win win

[@johnrpittenger]

Thanks good video.

[@joesworld933]

Great Video..

[@jkapp374]

No worries re: haters..the decision process with lenses you're describing- aka using different focal lengths as tools to give certain visual feels, to a scene with camera movement...? This is part of something called.... "Movie Directing" (!) if some people out there don't understand this, there are some books they can read
