Sis this is an outstanding lens and food photography breakdown. I watch a lot of Photography reviews and sometimes they waste your time. Lenses is one of my favorite things to review on my channel sometimes it takes me weeks to research shoot and edit it. I'll definitely check out more of your videos. Respect

Don't need it anyways. This is photography ... There's no "right lens for _you_". ALL lens are perfect... it's about what works for the shot. In simplicity, crop factor is nothing more than (what your camera reduces to * The lens) = ACTUAL mm your lens equals. Nobody had time for all the math mess. Just makes you sound smarter. You know your camera when you shoot with it.

Ive been using 800d for almost a year for food photography. Coupled with 100mm L series macro and sigma 50mm dg. Both lenses are designed for full frame but i like how they behave on each photo that i took. 100mm would be around 160mm and 50mm would be around 80mm on a cropped sensor camera.

@LaurenCarisShort3 жыл бұрын
You'd want something that you can shoot at a very narrow aperture with, if you're going to be close to your subject you're probably going to want f/16 upwards to keep the background in focus. It's a mix of aperture and the depth of your scene and perspective that affect the background blur. Hope that helps!

I already have a 35mm (which correspond to a 50mm full frame so I would use that for flatlays) and I'm still considering which lens I should buy to add to my kit. I checked the 60mm macro and the 55-200 but I don't know!

I don't have personal experience with Fuji lenses, but I would personally go for the 60mm if you're on a crop sensor. That's what I had when I was on a crop sensor and loved it!

@ryank79113 жыл бұрын
Also out of curiosity, were the lenses you used for the three photos used on a full frame or a crop sensor camera to mimic the a 28mm, 50mm, & 100mm length?
@LaurenCarisShort3 жыл бұрын
You're welcome! If you move back with a long focal length, you wouldn't get the same distortion but you'd need to move SUPER far back to get the same subject size! Hope that makes sense! The images in this video were shot on a crop sensor (so the mm are equivalent), but I use a full frame now :)
@MA-hd4or3 жыл бұрын
there are a lot of differences between full frame and crop. When you say : Well... not really.... it is a very big understatement. Also if you put a crop lens on full frame the mirror will hit the lens and possibly damage your camera so it is more than just vignetting ( at least for canon ef and efs)
@LaurenCarisShort3 жыл бұрын
Well yes, if I gave every single difference between a crop and a full frame in one video it would be very long ;) as per the video... this was about lenses, so focal length is the most relevant comparison.

I have the Nikon 60mm micro, and it does fantastic! Most of what I shoot is with the 60mm, depending on where I shoot space wise, then I use Kenko extension tubes to bring it to 105mm, and if you want to be more creative, use a crop sensor camera like the D500 with a 1.5 crop factor, even closer without moving the camera. The 60mm micro lens is the sharpest Nikon lens there is, less glass elements in it.
