How to choose 50mm f 1.4 and 85mm f 1.8?

Both 50F 1.4 and 85F 1.8 belong to portrait lenses, and the blur effect of both lenses is very good in shooting experience. Because the combination of 50-angle and large aperture is more approachable, he has a very good shooting experience in portraits and humanities, while 50 is good at indoor, outdoor, whole body and bust, which are his main shooting ranges.

85F 1.8 is a bit radical, and his positioning is more inclined to portrait photography. Because the focal length is lengthened, I feel a little nervous indoors. If you want to shoot indoors, you must have a wider environment to play. Outdoor is the world of 85. You can take pictures of the whole body and chest circumference, and then you can take close-ups further.

There is no obvious difference between the two shots in blur. Although the aperture of 85 is a little small, it is almost imperceptible in the blur because the focal length is longer than 50.

If you are a novice, it is more appropriate to choose 50 as the shooting theme. This focal segment is very suitable for introductory learning, portraits, humanities and subjects can be photographed, and the blur effect is also very good, while 85 prefers portrait photography. If most of your subjects are portraits and there are many outdoor scenes, 85 is recommended.

After answering, I hope my answer can help you. Please give me some advice if there is anything wrong. Thank you.

How to choose 50mmF 1.4 and 85mmF 1.8?

What lens to choose depends on the subject matter you shoot. Radish and vegetables have their own tastes.

I have both 50F 1.4 and 85F 1.8 lenses. The longest lens I use is 85F 1.8, which is suitable for outdoor portraits. I basically take it with me every time I go out.

General outdoor photography, like me, is mainly 85mm, and most of them take portraits outdoors. I used this focal period for a long time and took many portrait photos. If I mainly shoot outdoor portrait photography, I suggest that 85mm is more suitable.

The viewing angle of 85mm lens is around 28℃, so it is easy to take pictures outdoors, especially suitable for half-length and whole body, but not as convenient as 50 focal length composition. But 85 doesn't have to be indoors at all, unless your studio is big enough to have a shooting distance of about 6-7 meters.

If you want to take private photos of indoor portraits, environmental portraits and humanistic photography, I suggest you choose 50 mm. The visual range of this lens is 46℃, which is more suitable for shooting in a narrow space.

If you already have a zoom lens with a focal length of 50mm, there is no need to consider it. I think 85mm is more suitable for these two lenses, and the price is not good.

I have bought a 50-focus lens for a long time and seldom use it. Generally, when traveling or taking only one lens, I will choose Sigma 35mm, because it can take into account portraits and take some photos of people and scenery.

If this is your first fixed-focus lens, I suggest that Sigma 50F 1.4 is more suitable for these two lenses. Because the viewing angle range of 85F 1.8 is too narrow, it is difficult for beginners to adapt.

How to choose this category is too difficult … many people buy both lenses, because the two focal lengths do not conflict and there is no competition!

Simply put, 50 is more suitable for hanging up than 85 (personally, 50 is not the most suitable for hanging up):

More flexible indoors; Cheap price (like Canon's 50f/ 1.4 and 85f/ 1.8, the price difference is not big, but the 50f aperture is larger); Recently, the focal length is closer, 50 is more than 40 centimeters, and 85 is nearly one meter, so 50 is obviously more convenient in still life shooting!

Judging from the actual sales volume, the sales volume of 50mm fixed focus must be higher than that of 85mm fixed focus, which is caused by various reasons including the above factors.

But 85 also has its advantages:

The blur is stronger. Needless to say, although the aperture is smaller, the focal length is longer, the actual blur is stronger, and the depth of field is wider (the blur at 50 meters away is not as obvious as that at 85);

The perspective effect is more suitable for portraits, and the focal length of 85- 135 is the most suitable for portraits; Focus faster, just like the comparison of the above two pictures.

As for the picture quality, this is influenced by too many subjective factors, so there is no need to compare it.

See what you need to choose:

Only portraits are taken, mostly outdoors or indoors, and 85 is more suitable;

Everything, street shooting, close-ups. 50 is preferred.

85 mmf 1.8 is better than 50mmf 1.4. 85mmf 1.8 is a built-in zoom, annular USM motor, suitable for outdoor portraits. The whole body of the 85-head racket should stand far away, and the safety shutter is 85mm* 1.6, which is 1/65438. Usually, this shutter is difficult to meet the exposure indoors ... 50mmf 1.4 is an external zoom, USM is not a ring motor, and the focus ring feels worse. With the same AV value, 85mmf 1.8 blur is better than 50mmf 1.4, and 50 MMF 1.4 has aperture advantage and is better than 85 MMF6544. The bust is 85mmf 1.8, and the whole body is 50mmf 1.4, and 85mmf 1.8 is not considered indoors. Most people will choose 50mmf 1.4 when watching the auto show, which is suitable for their families, and they are not afraid of being blocked by others and do not need a big speaker. The aperture of 50 mmf 1.4 is large, and they are like people at night. It is suggested to buy 50mm f 1.4, hoping to help …

In terms of resolution, Nikon 85 1.8 is better than Nikon 50 1.4. From the perspective of portrait shooting, Nikon 85 1.8 is more practical, with better blur effect and more beautiful portrait. So just choose 85 1.8. The advantage of 50 1.4 is only that it is near dark, used when the light is bad, and used for indoor portrait shooting.

50 portraits, mainly environment+portraits, 85 portraits are mainly portraits, and the background is blurred.
