Thanks for the breakdown, very helpful!
Your various videos on the Sony 35mm f1.8 have finally convinced me that I need one. Adding the 35 to my Sigma 16mm f1.4 and my Sony 18-135mm covers all the bases for me for the type of photography I do.
Dude I love you're reviews. So honest and so detailed.
You're videos are super helpful!! This was exactly my debate on which of these two to get!
Been watching your videos for a little while now - great stuff man. Thanks for your efforts
Your videos are very informative and do a great job at explaining details! Keep it up!
Great video, I really appreciate your videos. Thanks for all the hard work. Looking forward to the comparison between the kit and prime lenses.
Great review, I'm pretty new to photography and am buying my first lens for my A6300. I'm looking to do indoor portraits and this video was exactly what I needed detailing pros and cons of each lens as I was debating between 35mm or 50mm. Thanks for the help.
I've been debating back and forth which one to buy for a while now, and your video helped me decide. Thanks. I think I'll be going with the 35 for versatility sake.
Thank you so much for this amazing video!! Great content and comparison. Learned a lot
Thanks for the comparison! Appreciate for the all the videos you have been posting for the last couple of months. Great job!
Thanks for the support! More to come! :)
Hello! I liked the review of both lenses. I have both and I like them equally well.
I also have the 18-105mm. All three lenses have some really good features but none are perfect. I use the 18-105 during the day and towards the evening I will shoot with the 35mm for wider any low light shots. I use the 50mm outside a lot especially in lower light.
Video with the 35mm is outstanding! I do find I use the 18-105mm to zoom in and out and I feel I can be a little more versatile and creative. I guess it comes to down to your budget and what you absolutely need to do the job. . .
very helpful again!
Thank you for your video. You just made up my mind for me.
Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to seeing more great stuff from you
Very helpful! Thank you so much for this review!
Thanks for the reviews bro! 😎
Thanks man! Very helpful and simple comparison for newbies!!
After surfing down all reviews and articles, you are the one who could convince me to buy 35 mm over 50 mm. Thank you so muuch!!
I bought 35 mm 3 days ago and never regret it 😁😁
That was a amazing review. Helped a lot! Thank you very much. I would like to ask you to make a video comparison between these two lenses. Or even put another lens you would find interesting. Sony a6000 is loved by youtubers. Would be nice to have some professional tips how to obtain better results with it.
Tysm, all of your videos are really useful to me!
Thanks for your videos mate. Watched many of them, and they have been really useful.
Awesome, thanks for the kind words!
i waited for this. thanks
Thanks so much for helping me to decide whether to get a 35mm or 50mm. I've been trying to decide which is more versatile. Great video!
This was the video I needed thank you 35 it is!
Great video, cleared all my doubts. 999th like from my side.
I really enjoyed the review, helps a lot! I was looking to get one or the other for my a6500 and to use on a trip out west. With a lot of landscape and videos being taken, which one would be better for video related work rather than photos?
Thanks so much for your video! I was thinking so hard on which to get and now i'll get the 35mm. :)
Thanks so much! You've no idea how timely this review is. I have the 50,1.8 and was thinking of getting the 35,1.8. Thanks for making my final decision clear (:
Nice! Glad it helped!
Super helpful comparison! Thank You. Cheers!
Another nice review and good advice. Keep up the good work.
You helped me so much with your video! Thank you so much mate!
Thanks. Exactly what I needed. I'm debating these two for indoor video use and I was worried about getting backed into a corner with the 50mm. I think I'll go with the 35mm.
Great review, however there is an important difference of background compression between the two lenses which you didn't mention. For some photographers, the longer focal length of the 50mm would be much more preferred over the 35mm when dealing with background compression. Having more background compression with the 50mm f1.8, would make the background less distracting and more pleasing than the 35mm f1.8. Background compression is a very important aspect of all lenses that should also be taken into consideration. Simply moving forward with the 35mm as you described, does not make the two lenses identical because the background compression would still be different. For me, i would rather favor the 50mm f1.8 over the 35mm f1/8 for portraits due to this fact. Just a point i figured would help aid your review better. Good job on the review. Keep up the great work.
dreamnight4178 I don't understand why the 35mm is significantly more expensive than the 50mm.
dreamnight4178 Agreed. Exactly right. Also because you have to move closer with the 35mm to get the same image size the perspective of the face changes and is less flattering. There’s a reason professional portrait photographers use an 85mm on full frame.
Mohsin Sait demand for 35mm is greater. It is a better lens for confined spaces and street photography.
valuable input even 3 years later, thanks. allowed me to make a decision btwn those 2 lenses. just coped myself a SELF5018 on ebay.
I think this is the best comparison I've seen, thank you!
very helpful video. i bought the 35 but wanted something to verify my decision and this video did that. thank you!
Thank you for this comparison video. I have both of these lenses. The 35mm is on my a6000 most of the time, but I switch to the 50mm when I'm doing a female model shoot. Both lenses are excellent.
im literally going through your really old videos!
Thank you so much!! I'm 100% sure of getting the 35mm now.
This is a great review. Thanks for your effort!
I have bought both of them. Thanks for the review.
thank you for the explanation, I have put my eyes on those two lenses but now I'm sure which one should I get.
35F18 is called "cafe lens" and 50F18 is called "girl friend lens" in Korea. becuz it depends on the place where we use each lends.
Haha thats awesome! Cool info!
이솔 what does "girlfriend lens" mean? lol
The girlfriends lens means that if you take the pictual of your girlfriend (just example, because girlfriend is not real), 50F18 shows the best view of angle for her. It's just nickname you know, 50mm is good for portrait haha
i see..hahaha
definitely
your channel is so damn good that is the first photography channel that I subscribe,, your sony lenses reviews helped me perfectly, nice channel for sony owners
nice video ...sir I really appreciate your videos ...you review deep and honestly ...keep it up
Thanks a lot! Helped me for my decision!
Absolutely the best reviews around - you are my go-to for a6000 information! By the way I bough a 35mm and LOVE it! Cheers!
Hi, ordered mine two days ago near new in Amazon ;-)
The concave element was a technique used by the very desired Carl Zeiss ULTRON 50mm F1.8; famous and expensive.
Good review. Thank you. Like
Totally agree. I have the 50, for. One/two person portrait shots the 50 has lower perspective distortion; people’s noses are smaller if you like.
Having to step so far away is really inconvenient a lot of the time.
The 35mm is more expensive for good reason. I imagine it’s lighter too.
Very informative. Thank you very much!
Great review! Thanks.
Watching this in 2020 during the pandemic. TY!
Now I am sure about about my lens purchase. Thanks a lot!!
When I got my a6000 (I now have a a6300) I got both of these lenses: the 50mm for medium distance outdoors or large indoor rooms) and the 35 mm for low light indoors and medium distance. The 50 is definitely sharper than the long zoom lens at its minimum (50-210mm) and the 35 definitely helps indoors. I just wish they had a APC capable E mount 17-70mm at f2.8.
@Drakeil T Just curious to know did you find a big difference in going from a6000 to 6300. I am on the same boat and looking to upgrade my 6000 to 6300 but cant able to justify almost double price difference? Looking forward to your opinion.
I have the 50mm for portraits and isolating objects in outdoor shots, i can see a use for both but it's hard for me to justify the cost of both. It's a toss up, move in closer or move farther away for portraits and objects. I do like the smaller size of the 35mm for walking around and shooting so I might use it more but I think the 50mm takes slightly better pics even if only a tiny amount. Judging from various comparison videos of 85mm vs 50mm for portraits I do find myself leaning towards the 85mm, but not having image stabilization on a 85mm would deem it strictly a tripod lens.
Fantastic job - thank you so much!
Thank you so much, helped me made my mind.
thank you! Have you used ND filters outoors?
Thanks so much! This is awesome!
Great video, and having the 50, I have to agree with the 35 being more useful, especially when shooting indoors.
On a side note, what lens were you using for the video? Man, it was constantly hunting. Your sofa and "J&A logo" in the back left corner kept zooming in and out showing some focus breathing.
Very good comparison, thank you very much.
Thank you so much for your wonderful reviews! I recently bought the a6000, and plan on creating a lot of content for my channel with this particular camera. Have always been loyal to Sony, and I really appreciate the effort you put into your videos. This lens comparison helped me out a lot. Thank you, TM! 😊
good video! thats really helpful!
Finally, right on time when i'm having so much doubt ^^
everything become very clear when you put side by side comparison, thanks man!! i'll will pick the 35mm to be my prime partner
Best comparison channel!!
I had to get both, great for ever change the situations when you need that low light capability teamed with the sharpness and a professional look.
And the dead on AF don't hurt ether
Hey Mafia, been a fan for awhile. you convinced me to get the neewer 35mm lense for my Sony a6000. I'm considering the sony 50mm as well. how do you think they compare, I'm already used to the manual focus! haha
thanks!
you sold me on the 35mm bro. good review. you earned my subscription.
very informative video! 2 thumbs up.
idk why I just cant stand others doing review but I enjoy so much of ur video!!!!!!!
btw hav u considered getting a telephoto zoom lens?
Wow, thank you! I have thought about it. I have been looking at the 18-105G....
Super helpful video- as I've been scratching my head on which one to buy. However, one thing which should be mentioned is that there is almost a $150/150 euro price difference between the 2 in most places I look. So I might go for the more affordable 50mm and keep the NEX-5R kit 16-50 for group pics. Thank you again and God Bless.
Thank you! Running forward is easier than running backwards to frame your subject. 35mm way to go.
thanks for the video very helpful! subscribed! ;)
Very good reviews Sr. this videos are soooooo help full, now I have a question, which one is best for landscape photography?
35 mm
I just bought the 35mm and love it. I’d really like to see a comparison between that and the 85 1.8. The 50 just looks repetitive.
Nice video...
How do you usually go about selling a lens and how much should you expect to get from a excellent slightly used lens?
Love my 50mm f/1.8 OSS lens. It is bright and contrasty and the AF is speedy and is very accurate with Eye-AF! Don't have the 35mm but, I use the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 with the Canon MC-11 adapter...
Wow you solved my problem, keep up the good work.
Nice, thanks!
really useful !!! Thank you alot !!!!!
I wonder y is 50mm not creating more blur background , although its more zoomed in
There is not enough of a difference to own both. Also, its always easier to move closer to your subject than back away giving the 35mm a huge edge.
I'd say a 30 - 35mm for standard portraits + 85mm for super compressed portaits is the way to go.
It's like pokemon; got to catch them all
I decided to start learning more about photography and how to use my a6000 and I have enjoyed more of your videos than most of the "professional" photographers out there. You have a more engaging tone and less obnoxious high intensity transitions. Please keep it more of a homespace instead of the rapid fire regurgitation of detail and nonsense that most youtubers do. I am really learning a lot!
very nice video sir ...you helped me alot and reviewed deep..thanks
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching!
Hey man, great videos. Thanks for the effort. They're all very complete, theoretical and practical-wise. I understand you like the 35mm for indoor use, but would this apply for food photography taking into account the object is smaller than a person? And how far away from a dish would the difference be, shooting with a 35mm and a 50mm? Regards from Colombia!
go to google.com type "dof simulator" and check out the first link, it's a simulator of lenses on different cameras, you can see how much the camera sees with every lens ;)
My 35mm and the new a6600 is on its way! Can't wait to start shooting
Could you do a VIDEO comparison of the 35mm and the Kit Lens? Or the 35mm and 50mm?
Very nice video. Loved the images. One more subscriber here!
Hi... great review! I recently purchased the 35mm f1.8 for my a6000 after seeing your reviews and comparison videos and it is absolutely amazing! But sometimes I do wish I had a wider angle lens when taking pictures of landscape and large buildings. With that I'm considering to purchase either the 16mm or 20mm f2.8 prime lenses but yet to find a good review and comparison video on either both. Would appreciate if you can do a review / comparison of these lens in the future! Thanks :)
20 mm is sharper, sigma 16 mm 1.4 ultra sharper
informative, what are you shooting on, background on intro minor distract focus judder?
Its useful video. Thanks!
how is the 35 for videos? let me say i have to travel and i can have with me only the body and the 35mm ... i'll be fine shooting video either? anyway, love ur channel. since i found it, i'm "studying" it the most i can ... u explain in a super easy, clear and good way. thank u.
Good review! If you are on limited budget and cannot afford both 50mm and35mm and you need lens for a more wide usage scenarios, 35mm is the best option, as you get good indoor/outdoor portraits and sort of wide angle lens in one. If you want sharper subject, stronger compression and space isn’t issue, 50mm gives a lot better result. An option is to rent both lenses for a day and test them on your real life scenarios before you make your decision.
Very helpful
Thanks alot. Was thinking about the 50 for some outdoor portraits, aleady have 35. So I don't think it's necessary. Bokeh difference is small.
Great comparison! 1+ sub.
Thanks for all your videos of Sony A6000. I've been watching all of them and learning a lot. I made my decision and bought 35mm a week ago. I'm happy with the 35mm of indoor and low light shooting. However if I want to do portraits with more creamy soft bokeh background. Should I buy another 50mm? Does it worth to own 2 close focal lens?
buy sony fe 85 1.8
Hi I just saw this video of yours and I instantly noticed the pulsing / kidder on the edges of the frame. What lens are you using to film this. I ask since I just bought my a6400 with the 15-50f3.5 kit lens and it’s doing the exact same thing. Pleas advise.
I'm addicted to your channel! Very helpful and direct. Congrats! I'll get a A6300 and won't go for the kit lens. So I'm thinking about a wide angle one and a portrait lens. Going for the Rokinon 12mm and onde those two in the video. My question is: since I'm already buying a lens that can be use to street photography (Rokinon 12mm), do you think the 50mm is a better fit in this kit? Thanks for all of your videos! Cheers from Brazil.
If you want a dedicated portrait lens, get the SEL50F18. You will only be able to use that lens outside though. If you want slightly more versatility with a portrait lens, you can get the SEL35F18.
Thank you for the reply! I'll probably go with the 35mm
I am a basketball trainer who records all my personal and group training sessions. I currently shoot with the A6000 with the kit lens on, but I am looking to upgrade. Is the 35mm lens the way to go, or should I purchase the 50mm? Or neither?
which one of these lenses would you recommend for taking fish pics outside on the water... i was sold the 50 1.8 but seems like the 35 might be better with the larger depth of field....
