The 85mm Is One Of My Secret Weapons For Unique Images

[@danielx555]

I just bought an 85 mm lens and you are correct, it really does make you think a lot about your shots and setting them up. One of my favorite things to do is to spend several hours out on the street with just one lens, and I can't wait to take this thing out.

[@TheOneMonk]

85mm 1.8 is a very good alternative when you cannot afford the GM version. One advantage of the 85mm is being discrete - which does not work well with big white Zoom lenses. Thanks for the video, as always very clear and well delivered.

[@overland_cam]

I picked that lens up for less than $350 and its amazing for the price

[@ZackStrifeAMV]

Bought the Sony 85 1.8 a few years ago for portrait. It's my favorite lense now I bring it everytime everywhere, for any kind of photography.

[@mitchell.breedlove]

When I first started shooting with my A6000 I purchased an 85mm f/1.8 and it very quickly became my favorite lens. I use it for street photography and portraits. By far my favorite lens.

[@DalsPhotography-Daniela]

OHHH yeah !!! I have been going out with my 85, and also 90 mm macro lenses since ages! I loved them! Not so invasive, and I can shoot landscapes, portraits, plants, etc!!!! Thank you Pat !!!! Best wishes from Uruguay :)

[@charminbaer2323]

I LOVE my 85mm 1.8! I've had the 85mm and a 35mm 1.4, and have been using my 85mm more and more for my portraits. I recently got a 20mm 2.8 and have been using it more than my 35mm. I love the more dramatic distorted shots i get from that as well, especially shooting from low angles.

[@brent.cowley]

People always recommend a 50mm as the first prime lens you should buy, but I recommend a 35mm or 85mm as great choices for prime lenses, because the 50mm sits in a weird middle ground for me. I have a 35mm 1.4 and 85mm 1.4 and the 85mm is definitely my favourite lens. I'm always blown away by the phenomenal images it produces!

[@fakebriancross]

I kind of feel that. The 50 doesn't give any special "effect" like the compression of a longer focal length, or the exaggerated perspective of a wider lens. It's more "what you see is what you get". That said, I sold mine and quickly regretted it! New on one the way :)

[@olwanziro]

How do these lenses do in video?

[@boostftw123]

well said. For me personally I go even wider at 24mm as I can crop into 36 using super 35 mode with the 24mm 1.4

[@joshuamarc]

I am a serious procrastinator, and can talk myself out of anything, have been "going to buy" a prime since the day I purchased my camera, always talking myself out as I could always find different info on different lengths. After watching this video I packed my stuff, left the house, and bought my 85mm.

[@FedThePoopy]

I remember Pat giving this advice in an earlier video that I found when I was just starting to get into photography. I bought the Sigma 85 Art lens and since it's been by far my favorite lens. I only really shoot street and I feel like it gives just the perfect amount of reach to dial in your compositions. And the 1.4 makes for some really really dramatic images in low light!

[@martingreenberg870]

How has the 85mm focal length been working for your street work? I just commented below I just bought the Sony 85/1.8 for street. I live in the 35-50mm zone. Very traditional street photography focal lengths. I value a broad depth of field so I’ll be shooting at f5.6-8 or more stopped down. I may try taking street portraits. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

[@MulliganAl]

Excellent talk, I just purchased an 85 and can’t wait to give it a try for street photography and travel, you made me feel more confident about my purchase. 👍🏽

[@SourPlanet]

You covered everything really well, and with great photos attached. 85 is like 24 in my head- it's so good for one thing that when you bring along for *everything* it delivers amazing results and unlocks a lot of creative thinking. I use an 85/1.8 around NYC and it's just indispensable. Nothing else gets the compression and the isolation yet still allows for some compositional leeway.

[@careylymanjones]

Bring along a 24mm AND an 85mm. The 24mm for the wide shot to give context, and the 85mm to home in on details that would get lost in the 24mm field of view.

[@SourPlanet]

@@careylymanjones Yes, I understand how each lens functions. My point was that both function in such a unique way that when you break their convention use- the ones you've outlined here- it brings in a creative aspect otherwise unavailable.

[@mrenovatio3739]

I like using 85mm stopped down 3-4 stops, f4-5.6. Makes composition more difficult, but you can layer more elements since the background is not a full blur. Also, on some older design lenses the fall off at F4 or F5.6 can look more "dimentional", than the "cut out" look wide open, or of newer lenses.

[@silas1414]

Interesting

[@Kirill-q7i]

yes, even shooting at f8 for landscapes with Zeiss 85 f1.4 and Sigma 85mm f1.4, for portraits mainly at f1.4 if outdoors, for studio at f8

[@Iam_AsGod]

My Sony 90mm f/2.8 is always finding it's way onto my camera. I bought it for macro, which is what it's made for, but it's just so damn sharp. Super sharp and compact, it's always in my bag. I use it for macro, street, landscape, anything really. It's only flaw is slow and noisy autofocus.

[@philbertdeangelo2809]

Its been a while since last time I watched your vid, its so great to come back and hear your opinion on something that you love so much.

[@lgude]

I love this focal length and have an Olympus 45 mm f1.8 which is very close to the full frame 85. Fast enough too and so small it is easy to handle. I started before zooms so I tend to think primes.

[@marcmurison]

When I got a 56mm f/1.4 (90mm equivalent), it immediately became my go-to, favorite lens, especially for street. Months later, this is still the case. It's a fabulous, rewarding focal length to work in.

[@thegrayyernaut]

@@perryvalton4245 I owned a 35mm f/1.4 and 90mm f/2 before. I sold both to get a 56mm cuz it sits in the middle and I needed to cull my kit. My comment on the 90mm f/2 is that it's my favorite Fujifilm lens ever.

I've heard that there is a 85 1.2mm out there in the world somewhere, I really don't worry about that, but man 85mm 1.4 is a tone setter!

Totally agree on the 85mm. Not too expensive if you opt for the f1.8 and it creates a certain look you just don’t get with a zoom. It’s definitely my favorite lens too.

The 85mm f1.8 from Tamron for DSLR (Nikon D780), one of my best lenses, mainly surf photography. "Compact and light", relatively but fits inside the waterproof case and I can swim with it... Cheap, great glass, it has stabilizer, super fast for focusing and the focal length is really nice for it. It also is on that DXO Mark list, overall score 46 and standing 22nd I think. But I could even do the same with the Nikon 85mm f1.8G.

I believe that this 3 lenses are the best combination in my opinion. 18mm for the situation’s when I want to get more of the subject into the frame, 35 when I am shooting in close spaces and I need to have a wider feel of view and 85 for everyday and everything lol. Amazing video showcasing the versatility of a fast 85mm prime lens. Thank you for everything and keep up the amazing work

Just got my Rokinon 85 mm. can't wait to get it out and shoot. One reason I got was the aspect of it helping to narrow the landscape aspect, forcing me to look harder for the subject of the shot. Thank you sir for the video.

[@tshen]

Outstanding video, thank you. I haven't seen anyone else talk about the 85mm on KZbin, and you nail everything about this lens - 100% to all of this. When my brother had his camera stolen on holiday, I gave him my old Nikon DSLR with all the lenses except my Nikkor AF 85mm f1.4, which I have a visceral attachment to and now sits on my FM3A, which I also can't bare to part with. Then, when I bought my Fuji X-T2, I got it with the XF 56mm f1.2 (which is the APS-C equivalent) and was the clear stand out among the other primes I got at the same time. Funny thing is, I don't take portraits, but as you clearly demonstrate, 85mm can do so much more and so very well. Excellent stuff, Pat. Please keep it coming.

[@luism.2050]

The sigma apsc 56mm f1.4 made me fall in love with taking photos with my Canon ef-m M6 mk ii. Ultra light and compact. Superb optics. Forces you to compose carefully and as a result learn a lot.

I mostly shoot with a 50mm on an aps-c camera which gives similar results and I always felt most comfortable shooting street with that setup :)

Great video! Just one comment. Compression si not about the narrow field of view. Is about the distance from the camera to the subject. A telephoto lens requires you to be further away and that distance is what we see as compression in the final pictures. Cheers !

[@stevenyoung6841]

I have a small issue. I have an APSC and had originally kit lens 18-55. Then got a 35 and 85mm. And then realized too late that I essentially have 50mm/135mm equivalent full frame lenses... @patkay Think I can still shoot with the 85mm APSC lens like the 85mm full frame you speak of?

Question: I also have a Fuji camera(XT-3) but don't have the budget for the 90mm or the 56mm. So, I've been wondering if the 50 f2 will come close being more like 75mm FF. Do you have any thoughts about that?

You should try TTArtisan 50mm F0.95 with a Techart adapter. 50mm is much more versatile and easier to use than 85mm. Autofocus even at 0.95 is surprisingly reliable and you can pretty much wipe out the background if desired. This is my go to combination when I go for a night street photography and love the photos this combo creates.

I remember the 2nd lens I bought was a 60mm f/2.8. I used it some before setting my camera down for personal reasons. Now, about a decade later, I'm picking my camera back up and the 85mm is my next lens of choice. I just don't like zoom lenses anymore. If I use one, I only use it at the marked focal lengths instead of adjusting the lens to perfectly fit the subject. I prefer the mindset of using my feet to zoom and the creativity I have while doing so.

[@Looppehh]

I personally love my konica hexanon 57mm f1.4 on aps-c; coming to about 91mm. It's probably my favorite lens. So much character and for the type of photography I like to do, it works on every level. I highly recommend you try this lens.

[@ChristianThueringer]

[@jixal]

I bought a Sigma 55m f1.8 for my APS- C not realising at the time about the x1.5 zoom factor. Although some shots were harder to get it forced me to learn how to use the length and easily produced some of my best shot's ive ever taken. Forces you to get creative :))

[@d.j.harris2355]

Canons USM 85 1.8 was my first lens upgrade and I love it. I use it for work and get sports photos with it. It gives such a unique look and the speed of the lens is helpful in low light. The 1.8 for video is great too. The descretness of it is an added bonus especially when I don't need to be super close to the subject.

[@nubscrub]

I was under the impression that many photographers experience this focal length equivalent early in their journey. With Canon being the biggest camera brand, for users starting out with one of their crop sensor cameras the classic second lens purchase after the kit lens tends to be the inexpensive 50 1.8 which gives a focal length equivalent of 80mm with the 1.6x crop.

[@YVZSTUDIOS]

That's exactly what I had. Tho I had a sony aps-c instead. But my lenses were indeed a 35mm and then a 50mm f/1.8 I did use the 35mm (which is close to 50mm on full frame) more than anything else though and thought the 50mm was not necessary. But boi was I wrong. I switched to full frame recently and also brands: Canon RP with the RF lenses and with the 24-105 f/4-7 I very soon realized that I love the 85mm look. As of now, I just have that kit + a 50mm f/1.8, which is necessary for low-light. But I still haven't decided what to get next. the 24-105 f4 or 85 f/1.8 because don't wanna own a bunch of lenses like last time. I want the smalles amount and take only the ones I need on a shoot/trip. I mainly (want to) use my camera for Portraits and Travel.

[@charliejg]

Until I got an 85(XF56mm f1.2), I wouldn't have thought one could be glued to my camera. But, that is exactly what happened when I started using it. Love it. Also, have been using a 135mm(XF90mm f2) a lot. Love it's sharpness. I got both for doing portraits, but have used them for everything.

I'm just asking for the compression/distortion and overall framing

[@patkay]

[@seandmr]

You mentioned that for APS-C sensors, at ~56mm would be the equivalent, but I'm curious--is the compression you love from the 85mm a property of the lens itself, or the relationship of the lens and the sensor size? Basically, do you get the same compression with APS-C+56mm? Or if I were looking for that compression would I need to go with an actual 85 and adjust composition and where I'm taking the photo from to account for the crop's zoom-in?

[@Thirsty_Fox]

You get the exact same compression with a ~56mm lens on 1.5 crop APSC (ie. Sony, Fuji) as you would with an 85mm on a full frame sensor as it's the same angle of view and you take the photo from the same lens. If you put the 85 on an APSC, you'll have to stand further back for a similar composition and thus creating more composition. You do get around one stop more depth-of-field reduction on the FF compared with APSC for the same focal length and aperture. PS. If you haven't already and use APSC, just get the Sigma 56 f1.4. It's obscenely good and compact as well.

[@nateclarke1179]

Imo the "holy trinity of lenses" the 15 - 35, 25 - 70 and 70 to 200 lense range is amazing, but I reckon the holy trinity or prime leses is the 35mm, 50mm and the 85mm. These are the 6 lenses I have for my kit. My only difference is the 25 to 70 is a 25 to 100 f4 as I'm not a pro photographer and can't justify the cost of the more expensive 25 to 70s in the Canon range. I just need to add a 16mm, a 24mm and a 100mm macro prime lense to really round out my kit nicely for what I do. That being said I have been shooting a lot with my 85mm lense at the moment and loving it.

You talked so much about your love for the 85 1.4 GM so I went out and got one! It's great for the reasons you listed but you never mentioned it's a slowerfocusing lens compared to modern lenses and it makes some noise when it focuses. I'm hearing there's an 85 1.2 in the works so I'm super stoked about that. Anyways, I would love it if you could try out the 12-24 2.8 GM, I'd love to see how you make that lens work
