    On Sony I love my 55mm 1.8 Zeiss.. such nice colors and super bright for 1.8. not cheap though. if you can find a nice used copy go for it! I've shot sports with the lens and the AF is super fast!! No problem shooting full speed on an a7iii.. 10fps+

    Another excellent video!!! I realize you’re not from BC, but you are fellow Canadians, as I read your “about” page. Thanks for all the work you put into this video! I take photos and video around the Vancouver to Chilliwack area. Still learning!

  • @CreativeRyan

    50mm is perfect for those close ups 🔥

  • @AJ-em2rb
    @AJ-em2rb Před 10 měsíci

    4:40 you got it backwards (or i very much misunderstood your delivery). to get roughly 50mm equivalent on crop bodies you want 35mm. it's when you put 50mm on a crop that you get something similar to a full frame 85.

    The 50mm 1.2 is out of stock everywhere that i looked... makes me so sad. (the RF mount version for my R5 that is) I WILL have this eventually though, so excited.

  • @daniel.francisco
    @daniel.francisco Před 3 lety

    I love the 50mm. I agree with many of your points but I wish this had been less redundant. Watched the full video because appreciate y’all, but thought this could’ve been half the length and been just as meaningful. 😅

  • @pusadolfo

    I loved the 50mm for a lot of time, until I got the 24mm, maybe I should go back to it

  • @jessbreheret
    @jessbreheret Před 3 lety +1

    I always go back to the fixed 50 mm ... I actually enjoy the process of moving , searching for the right angle without zooming in / out . Great series

  • @josemocha
    @josemocha Před 3 lety +2

    Even my wife, who has no interest in photography, was glued to the screen and praised all your shots.

  • @mattduncan5500
    @mattduncan5500 Před 2 lety

    @Becki and Chris you guys always have the best looking footage on youtube. seriosly always looks stunning...
    if possible i have to ask/try to get you brief opinon on the comparisons between the Sony Camera in your collection. I know you have been using the A7S3 A7R4 a6400 a7sII.
    Do you think there is any major advantages or disadvantages between them, for a young photgrapher entering the Sony Cam/film world.
    Or are the differences more minor/top shelf details etc
    My last cam was the 5dii, but i have scored some work in the new year which will have me travelling and focusing more on film. Predomenatly making montage content for instagram.
    Would love to hear from y'all, much thanks in advance :)

  • @TuckerPearce
    @TuckerPearce Před 2 lety +1

    Really enjoyed this one. I have a 17 to 28mm f 2.8 for my A7C and then a 70 to 300 both from Tamron.
    Is a nifty fifty (Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 Lens) for $299 a good starter lens for 50mm or should I save up for say the Sony FE 50mm f/2.5 G Lens ($598)?
    Other option is the Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 GM Lens but even at $1998 there is no image stabilization.
