The Best Lens For Food Photography and what to buy

[@Twobarpsi]

Brilliant! I am starting with a 5D MKII and a 50mm 1.8

[@pickle2k]

Thanks Scott, just watched in the office with the sound off and the auto subtitles must be one of those 100 people who doesn't understand an English accent. It must be due to all these American sitcoms and crime dramas that makes everyone think our accent is weird.

[@Sonybo100]

Im happy you use macro extention tubes :D I have several but haven't put them in use because I watched videos saying it isn't true macro.....which doesn't matter in the end. What does bugg me is that the focus is very strange when you put the extention tube.

[@TheNewArtSchool]

Love your work!!!

[@paulchiu]

Can a 14mm with 8” close focus be good for food photography too?

[@EdAb]

Well done! I love my 45mm TS for the same reasons and more. You know you are producing great work, when professionals with 30+ years of experience are watching and enjoying your "amateur" videos. Spot on!

[@global001]

He's not an amateur though :/

[@EdAb]

@@global001 I was quoting Scott. That was his statement, not mine. If you reread my comment you will see that I am wholeheartedly praising Scott.

[@julianray]

Scott you are rocking it! Sound is way better. Keep on Keepin' on.

SH1t can't stop watching your videos! Thanks for all the awesome content.

[@imranmazar7558]

Amazing stuff...binge- read all your articles on fstoppers...now the vids...you are killing it ...would be a dream to visit your studio ...next time im in leicester ...great stuff man

[@julioestebanperezescudero6246]

What about the tilt and shift 85 mm 2.8?

[@gillianstippa9738]

Would you use your TS 90mm if you were photographing one dish overhead? Or would a 100mm do just fine?

[@qwe1231]

Good video. But please remember to state that you're recommending lenses with focal lengths / fields of view for *full frame*, which you don't really state (but do mention your own FF body). If you don't recommend APS-C cameras you might start off mentioning it and why, or else make suitable recommendations for crop-sensor bodies: Nifty-50 f/1.8 on crop sensor is equivalent to 80mm f/2.9, for example, so if you're recommending a 50mm FOV you might want instead to mention the EF 35/2 (or one of the Tamrons/Sigmas) instead.

[@qwe1231]

@@TinHouseStudioUK Yes. Canon is 1.6x, Nikon/Pentax/Sony is 1.5x, micro four-thirds (Olympus/Panasonic) is 2x. :)

[@ferossan]

Great, ... but where are the pictures as examples? That would be interesting in particular for the Tilt and Shift lens. It's a photography channel, Isn't it?

[@dimaaboulhassan2517]

I was about to comment the same thing ! Great vid :D

[@eltoro3172]

Really like the new content. Could you intersperse the narrative with some example shots please?

[@WildHorseProductions]

Does the tilt shift lens help avoid the issue with flat lays where the dishes, glasses on the edges look tilted outwards?

[@omenworks]

I wish you included some examples as for someone starting it's hard to understand the differences between 50mm and 100mm etc.

[@joshwilson6400]

The biggest difference is the higher the number, the more close up it is. E.g. if I shot something with a 50mm lens and then shot the same thing the same distance away using a 100mm lens, the object will appear closer. There are other differences but that's the biggest. I also don't think he needs to explain the differences because these are part of the fundamentals for photography which this video/channel is not focused on covering. Best of luck!

[@kapurar]

Thank you for you wonderful advice.

[@anamarija2612]

Thank you for the great content! What do you think of a 90mm tilt shift for food photography? I *love* my 100mm macro so this sounds like something similar yet different enough to experiment with

[@anamarija2612]

@@TinHouseStudioUK Thanks, I'll be looking into that one - the fact that it can be bought used helps a lot!

[@___Stephan_D___]

Great advices, good videos, nice to look, hope to see more, well done :-)

[@justinsisson2465]

keep these videos coming!

[@matthewpreval7662]

Love a good debunking

[@Tiffinandtea]

I use Prime lenses but always wondered if zoom lenses are a better option for food photography. Great info re extensions too. Only just heard of them a couple of months ago. Making my way through all the vids today so i might be commenting a lot 😂

[@varadkotnala9764]

Hey since u make videos, wanted to ask u if a prime 50mm is good for food videos, like cooking tutorials? Thnq

[@FilNenna]

The 45mm TS can also take the Canon tele-converters to make it a 65mm or 90mm portrait lens

[@laurisgalsons1540]

HI ! could you please give link to extension tube ?

[@aymanahmed9540]

For Canon? Would inexpensive cheap ones (auto) be a problem?

[@laurisgalsons1540]

@@TinHouseStudioUK I use canon. Just saw this tube in this video, but in describtion you didn't mentiond the link :)
