Why 28mm for Portrait Photography?

Great video and fantastic shots!

[@fixedkorea]

I really appreciate that, thank you

I have my 28 on today - it's been great for the money - and is also very good as a rapid 'candids' lens too; set at f/8 in good light you don't need to zone focus as the AF is fast enough to feel instantaneous

@@DrZeeple well said and I agree on that ability when closing down iris

Great portraits, mate. I have the 28 but the 55 seems glued to my camera. Might have to whack the 28 on this Christmas. Thanks, mate.

@@davidmcc6666 haha indeed. 28 for the Christmas win!

Great vid. I mainly use 35mm for environmental portrait work as this has always suited me but have recently bought a Nikon ZF with the 28mm f2.8 - going slightly wider (from the 35mm) REALLY works well. I've now done 2 shoots using this combo and plan to continue with it for a few more ...

[@fixedkorea]

thanks for the encouragement, I really appreciate it. ya the 35mm is great, feel like you can anything with that lens. Funny thing is I actually traded my 35 for the 28 that I was discussing in this video. Knowing me I'm sure I'll find my way back to the 35 in the future in trade again for it. The cycle never ends....

Need to get yourself a Q3!

I loved seeing your point of view. I'm the opposite. I prefer at least 50mm and often 85, but what I like in your POV is that of course there's a lot more flexibility. Plus, I love learning things I don't often do myself. Great post. Thank you for this!

[@fixedkorea]

That's really kind of you to share, thank you. Ya recently I picked up a 55mm (similar to 50mm) and have kinda fallen in love with that one so I totally get where you are coming from.

@fixedkorea it's fun that we can try so many varieties.
