    I've gone full circle. Was my first lens on the nikon and it wasn't until selling and experimenting with lots of other lenses thst I came back to this 85mm. There are more strengths to this lens than weaknesses. Become a master of the 85mm.

    you need so much space with an 85, i wish i could use it intuitively but i always have to step back with it when i put the camera to my eye. i prefer 50 for full-body vertical shots, i love how half-body shots look with 85 though..

    • @TaylorJacksonPhoto
      @TaylorJacksonPhoto  Před 3 měsíci

      If they’re on the same focal plane it should be fine. If you’re on dslr it also might require af fine tuning

    Am I missing something - I am paying for Patreon and Taylor’s new website, yet it seems like more videos are being uploaded to CZcams than the other two sites I am paying for. Is it best to just stick with CZcams, it will be cheaper for me...

    • @TaylorJacksonPhoto
      @TaylorJacksonPhoto  Před 3 lety +2

      No need to be on both sites, cancel Patreon for sure. The member site is where I upload all of my full length courses moving forward. Elopements course went up this month. Commercial/Social Media Sessions in Sept. then the new How To Travel The World for Nearly Free guide (basically using your camera to get paid to travel) is going up in October. None of that content will be up on CZcams

Been very happy with it but have been looking to upgrade for the extra stops on the 1.8 or 1.4. Do you think it's worth the money to upgrade?

    @thcwub3387 Před 3 lety

    Your songs are so god-awfully cringe; i love it!
    I recently picked up an 85mm 1.4 and there is a lot to love. I think one of my favourite parts about having the access to 1.4 is the confidence that you are always going to be able to find a shot, regardless of what the light does. The bokeh is nice too, i guess.
    The chromatic aberations are crazy at times though. Any tips for dealing with them? You mentioned stopping down in the video; do you have a sweet spot you know where you wont have to compete with them?

    • @TaylorJacksonPhoto
      @TaylorJacksonPhoto  Před 3 lety

      It’s all different and it’s a bit of a learning curve at 1.4. I know situations it will perform well, and I know situations it might struggle, and I always play it safe then.
