This LENS is a Food Photography ROCKSTAR

[@DennisThePrescott]

Anyone else LOVE a 35mm lens?!

[@tjmperez]

First lens I buy regardless of the camera system! I had one with Canon, Sony and now Nikon the 35mm 1.4 is a beast! Super creamy deliciously smooth and buttery and savory and slow cooked and every food term you can think of! (courtesy of Peter Mckinnon) -TJ

[@HVRIS]

Yooo I’ve been using this recently for my food photos and man it changes the game 🙅🏻‍♂️🙅🏻‍♂️🙅🏻‍♂️

[@ArtintheKeyofMe]

I don’t have that one. I have the 16-35 one but am dying to own that in the future. Anyways, great lesson brother. Today you felt like a teacher. Very great teaching. Can you do a video explains and showing how you setup your lights. I got much to learn in regards of that and although I know you talked about it on the Peter Pizza episode, it would be nice to see more of that. Thank you for the inspiration brother. Take care and never stop!

[@milankollar4780]

I have the 35 f1.4 ii and i love it.

[@DennisThePrescott]

Yeah dude! Such a killer lens

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

I found myself shooting zooms almost exclusively for 3-4 years (an 18-50 PL and a 50-150 PL - shooting RED) and my primes (18, 25, 35, 50, 85, 100, 300) were sitting in their cases... unloved. Recently I kicked my own arse out of it's funk and started shooting primes more and more. Love the results; I think because it slows me down, makes me consider the shot more closely, and plan. Planning is huge when shooting food. Zooms have a place - but not every shot.

[@pasalking7760]

Omg this is so cool!

[@Deadeye00813]

Would love to see a video about your lighting setup for your awesome food photos.

[@jeffreysiegel8890]

I'm on a cropped sensor camera (T6i). My favorite lens is the EF 85mm 1.8. (On my cropped sensor, it's like a 135mm...more or less.) I *like* that it forces me to think about what will go into the shot.

[@thechrishau]

Killing it dude! 35mm is one of my favsss

[@DennisThePrescott]

Thanks homie! Rockstar lens.

[@RamboBaggings]

Hau you are awesome too man. Cheers!!!

[@deniseprichett2619]

People always say the best lens is the 50mm because it mimics the way our eyes see naturally. But when I got my hands on a 35mm. I fell in love. I finally had a lens that looked right to me. The 35mm is the best overall lens for me!!! I love your images!!! Great video!!!

[@DennisThePrescott]

Thanks so much! And agreed. I love 50mm, and use them often, but there's something about the versatility of a 35mm that is just fantastic. Not to mention the beautiful quality of the images :)

[@microsalttv9993]

A very cheap but underrated prime lens alternative would be the 40mm F2.8 pancake lens. One of my go to lens.

[@cookinmum]

50mm so far I love it. I am shopping for the next piece of glass. Now I will look at this one too. Thank you Dennis.

[@JonathanThompsonStoryteller]

I'm really feeling the pull back to primes. I've been shooting zooms because of the wide range of shots I need to get, and produce quickly. Having said that, practicing with primes really gets you engaged with the story. I've recently been keeping my zooms at particular focal lengths to have me work the scene. There's also a look to primes which I love... Trouble is my list of primes I'd like to have it's a big chunk'a'change.. Have recently tried out the new 85 1.4L IS, and it's gorgeous... Me and my buddy are going to shoot my 85 1.2 along side the 1.4, to see the differences. Anything which makes you move and engage in your photos is a great thing. Great advice, now stop tempting me to buy new glass... ;) Cheers JT

[@DennisThePrescott]

Hold onto your wallet :) Appreciate the kind words. And I hear you. I use a 24-70 and a 16-35 often, especially when travelling. There's just something special about primes (especially for print, in my world). 85 1.4 is a BEAST lens. So good.

[@JonathanThompsonStoryteller]

Yeah I hear you for print. I shoot for Art Culinaire Magazine in Europe. So I'll ask around for an upcoming shoot in London, see if I can borrow a 35 just to see ;)

[@TheHappyWhisk]

The colours really pop on your photos. I'm just learning about prime lens. Well, just learning all around. Pretty frickin' fun.

[@robertj5156]

Hey Dennis... great stuff as always! I really appreciate the way you and the Canada crew (Pete, Matti, Teppo, Chris, Alen) share as much as you can with everyone. You aren’t afraid of giving away your “secrets”. Just like you credit Jamie Oliver for teaching you cooking, I hope to someday be on the level to give you all credit for teaching me photography when I share with my future audience. All the best✌️

[@DennisThePrescott]

Thanks so much dude. All ships rise together! go crush it with your channel!!!!

[@jamesdelmage986]

Hey Dennis. I bought the 100 macro based on your other video. I barely use it now because of space issues. I pretty much use a 24mm pancake for my flat lays now with a crop. Love how light it is. Still trying to develop my own style. Thanks!

[@DennisThePrescott]

Hear ya for sure. The 1 draw back of a 100mm macro is if you’re shooting in a tight space, it can be challenging (especially on a crop sensor camera). Still super (unmatched) for close up images, of course. Haven’t tried that 24 pancake - heard great things tho

[@Soke1y]

The lighting in your home is amazing

[@DennisThePrescott]

Thanks dude. Basically a wall of windows that we installed when we moved in

[@napsterproductions709]

All around amazing video! Definitely agree with you that wide angle lenses have its benefits. I used wide angle for a while then when I got a 50mm lens I had to get used to moving back more than I was used to.

[@DennisThePrescott]

Thanks. Love (and use) both the 35 & 50 all the time. Rockstar lens options.

[@4theyevisions515]

35mm is like a go to for me for everything until I get more lenses it's so versatile regardless

[@monicafarber]

I have a 50 prime and a 24-70 zoom. so glad that I found your video, I was going to shoot some food photography and behind the scenes kitchen stuff with the 50, but def going to rent a 35 instead.

[@PierreBurnaugh]

Great videos Dennis! Yeah, my 35 f2 prime has been my favorite all around travel and street lens for a years. Its great to get food shots while traveling light and mine lets me focus in very close as well. My other favorite prime is the 85mm great for portraits. A lot of times I'll just take these two lenses when doing travel and street stuff, with the 35 as the default on the body.

[@MichelleCoxPhotography]

I love the 35mm for like... everything. Not just food! :)

[@DennisThePrescott]

Agreed!

[@andrewfrost8866]

I'm mainly shooting 35mm. It really works, and is permanently fixed on my X100T 😉

[@richardpcrowe]

Love the 35mm on a full frame camera. The Canon 35mm f/2 IS lens is my favorite....

[@Quionynavarro]

Finally! I hope to see your experience in every video from you! I love your job! Saludos desde Honduras, América central! 🤘

[@DennisThePrescott]

Thanks so much!!

[@success762]

I love my crop frame Fuji 23mm f1.4 with xt3 camera ..

[@RamboBaggings]

Seen a “handsome devils” hat in there... that’s where I get my beard done!! Love the videos and love the pictures bud. Cheers.

[@DennisThePrescott]

Thanks dude - love Handsome Devils! Great dudes/work/vibe

[@RamboBaggings]

Dennis The Prescott looking forward to checking out their new pad. Cheers man.

[@eddiesimonmusic]

Hi there… I’m a Canadian musician living in Christchurch, New Zealand 🇳🇿 🇨🇦 I just came across your KZbin Channel and this about the Canon 35mm Lense for Food Photography… I think this is a great lense. I use constant lighting and use a Godox 150 watt light on a tripod and boom with a diffuser What do you like Thanks Eddie Simon Media

[@simplerecipesbydona]

you are an amazing teacher, thank you for all your advise

[@BrieWilly]

Yessss bro! I have been waiting for a video like this to hit KZbin. This is one of a kind and it answers my question for my next fixed lens 🤘🏻

[@DennisThePrescott]

👍👍👍

[@thegreencreator]

Thanks for this! How much difference is there in quality compared to let's say a 24-70mm?

[@DennisThePrescott]

Both are killer. Primes are always sharper lenses, by nature of their construction/elements/other science stuff. But I shoot a 24-70 2.8 all the time and love it.

[@Dom5451]

Great vid. I take it this vid is made assuming a full frame sensor? Would the 35mms versatility translate to a 24mm on a crop frame?

[@success762]

Dominic Holding about 23 -24

[@justinengel5083]

This is a great vid! Thanks for all the tips - I managed to pick up the 100mm macro as was more in my budget. If you have the time would be great to get some insight into your actual process - especially around lighting! Thanks man

[@ramiroloyola]

ey man regards from san luis potosi mexico, i would like to know if you use the 85mm, i have one rokinon 85mm and it is marvelous but i would like to know what kind of tricks or tips you have for those who use the 85mm regards and buena vibra, ORALE

[@Maestromarksherwin]

Need your advice. I already have a Canon 50mm 1.2L but thinking which one I should get between Canon 100mm 1.2L IS USM or Canon 85mm 1.4 IS. Im more of a food photographer but do a lot of video also. Thanks

[@Mike_Barker]

Great video Dennis. I'm really curious to try one of these out. The only prime I use currently is a nifty 50 on an 80d. I haaaate how far away from things you need to be, maybe a 35 is the ticket... Or a full frame camera 😅

[@DennisThePrescott]

Thanks! Definitely try one out - think you’ll love it/the extra mm flexibility

[@reeseb8520]

Try your 50mm on a full frame and you'll be pleasantly surprised at the difference.

[@Mike_Barker]

Reese B - that's the eventual plan. For now I think I'll give some rentals a try. But when the time comes I'll move to full frame 😀

[@Darkcrimsonfall]

You said about 35mm i have a 35mm lens but my camera is a crop sensor nikon d5500 35mm is equivalent to 50mm lens. what camera body are you referring is it full frame or crop sensor and if its full frame what about us what lens should we use since we are using a crop sensor?

[@pablolupa1603]

Can you show your light setup? Or you already have a video of that? Thanks

[@touseef220]

I have sony a 6600. any advice which lens to buy for food videos & photography?

[@mdmahmudul]

What about Sigma 30mm F1.4 with Sony a6400? will it work great for food photo and, videography?

[@Creative7inc]

Amazing video Dennis! Lot's of good info and amazing shots in the mix... ok now I need to go eat something... cya!

[@DennisThePrescott]

Love it - thanks!

[@szabi_nagy]

Great video, my favorite lens is the sigma 24mm f1.4 art!

[@chadwickestey]

Gonna look into this! Thanks for the insight Dennis!

[@michaelcarvalho3796]

which would be the best RF prime lens to use on EOSR (mirrorless) camera? Right now I shoot with a 24 105mm lens. I can share you the pics of my shoot on an email address.

[@therasiathecook]

Hi I have a crop sens camera and have a 60mm macro crop fact 1.53 is this close to the 100mm? I also have a 90mm but that one is hard to work with...

[@pruett89]

Great video - it's good to get some secretes from a person with the work to back it up.

[@DennisThePrescott]

Thanks dude - appreciated!

[@DanielaObertas]

I use it for my food photos.

[@zainabmejja9936]

Loving the content! Thanks for the advice!

[@russellharrison619]

85 is my beast of a B roll use to use a zoom lens and just could do the low light with them cause F stop wasn't low enough

[@DennisThePrescott]

100% 85 is a BEAST focal length. So freaking beautiful

[@russellharrison619]

Dennis The Prescott and you add the Stabilizing into it and 1.8f it just is beautiful for just about everything

[@rebecca29912009]

Great video! What about on a crop sensor? Should I be looking at the 20mm canon prime lens?

[@DennisThePrescott]

Hi! I haven’t used that one, honestly. But the 24mm is a fantastic lens.

[@Ur0n]

Is there a cheap 35mm canon option? I need to shoot food photography, and I'm a newbie, also the gear would be the canon sl2.

[@atomgun2]

There is. Your options are: used or refurbished Canon 35mm f/1.4L mark I (still an awesome lens), Sigma 35 1.4 Art (if you get an AF consistent sample or copy, you win, it’s unbelievably sharp), Canon 35 f/2 IS USM or the cheapest option: a used canon 35 f/2 (old model, not usm)

[@SJ-gj7mx]

Very good video

[@matanelbroder6551]

I love the 50mm

[@mountaincreativeco.7091]

So good! Making me want to go scoop up that 35 mil right now so I can get some of that crispy goodness!! Keep on rocking Dennis. 👊

[@DennisThePrescott]

Love it - thanks!!!

[@spacewolf6]

I shoot workout videos with a 19mm 2.8 sigma on my a6500 APSC sensor. Next purchase will be the 30mm 1.4! Been dreaming about it for a long time

[@izakburlo]

Always an inspiration. Thank you

[@DennisThePrescott]

Thanks dude!

[@SpartanParker]

Great video! Been thinking about a 35mm for a while now. By the way I'm in Nashville!

[@DennisThePrescott]

Love it. Nashville is so rad (and so are 35mm’s)

[@abdelrahmanhassanhussein4822]

35 is better with the cropped sensor cameras than 50 mm...but in full frames can definitely the nifty fifty is better

[@GabeRodriiguez]

Yo!! Great video!! Thanks for these awesome tips

[@fbueno000]

Amazing explanation Dennis! So cool 👊

[@annetted5794]

Glad you posted this. 👊

[@DennisThePrescott]

👍👍

[@VisiVisuals]

In your previous video you said 100mm is the best lens for food photography, which one is your go-to lens?

[@success762]

Victor Sidharta macro not like wide angle lens

[@LoverofAllThingsGood]

What would you say is the best lense for video?

[@remileclair]

A bit of Handsome Devils love in there! :)

[@DennisThePrescott]

Gotta support local homies 👍

[@GabeRodriiguez]

Great video! Lots of value outa those one ☝🏼

[@malonecustomdesigns]

So is it a macro lens?

[@WhiteThunderBBQ]

Do you shoot prime for video too? I could really use a prime inbetween the 16 and 50 that I have.

[@WhiteThunderBBQ]

guess I shoulda watched the whole video first lol.

[@DennisThePrescott]

lol love it. We use both primes & zooms, honestly depends on the shot. Primes a lot for interview style sections

[@EmmanCollective]

how about the 24-35 sigma art F2?

[@nicholasgz890]

what f stop do you usually use for food photography?

[@janetikkuri567]

I love my 35mm! Very informative video! 🙂 .

[@DennisThePrescott]

Thanks!

[@seausexplore]

What the hack? Your first camera was a 1dx ii? Ok.... but great video and very nice pictures. The 35 is soooo great! I have the sigma art one :) Keep on doing

[@milankollar4780]

I shoot on 35mm f1.4ii, 50mm f1.2, 85mm f1.2ii

[@DennisThePrescott]

Love it - killer kit

Hi Dennis! Came from the notification.

[@davidholyoake5256]

Lens don't tell stories!

[@sebastianjay8049]

could it be that you wanted to say 35 instead of 50 at 2:17min?

[@DennisThePrescott]

Hey! Yeah, I’m a fast talker sometimes :) Said 15mm, difference between the two primes

[@codyharsh2525]

Ayeeeee

[@DennisThePrescott]

YES!

[@rouf5013]

Alen Palander did a video about this lens, and now Dennis did, it looks like everybody wants me to buy the goddam lens 🤔
