The old mage talked about Nikon Sharp, Canon Soft Light and Pentax Oil. Which do you prefer for portrait shooting?

I don't think I can reach the level of the old mage, but I am still very touched by portrait photography.

Nikon's sharpness, Canon's softness and Pentax oil have become a style of the camera brand itself. Naturally, carrots and vegetables have their own tastes. Especially Nikon and Canon, which brand of camera is more suitable for portrait shooting from the beginning?

The SLR I am using now is Canon, but Nikon was the first to see the masterpiece of SLR. At that time, college students bought a Nikon SLR, but I don't remember the specific model. The first impression of the portrait photo is how it can be so clear and clear, and it can be seen after zooming in. At that time, everyone joked that no matter how beautiful people are, they can shoot flaws.

In fact, at that time, SLR was still a new digital product, and people's pursuit of it was mainly high pixels, so Nikon's sharpness added points for itself.

However, when I started my own SLR, the price was very beautiful because it was a second-hand SLR eliminated by my colleagues. I have no choice but to use Canon 60D and begin to appreciate Canon's gentle interpretation of portraits. In fact, Canon's marketing promotion is also based on portraits, and the style of the film is more suitable for the tone of the studio and more easily welcomed by the audience. Nikon portrait film feels closer to realism.

Pentax oil, my understanding is a kind of color interpretation, just like I like the color of Fuji. The "oily" feeling of Pentax film should be said to be a taste and a texture. This kind of texture is generally not liked by girls who like Japanese, Indian and light, and it is also a minority taste. I think Pentax should shoot Tibetan portraits, and the film should give people a more tasteful, kind and vicissitudes.

So it depends on which style of portrait the photographer prefers. If your style is changeable, creative and experimental, try various brands of SLR.

Please make clear the allusions before editing the questions. It's really embarrassing to make up a puzzling sentence. ...

The correct legend is: "Canon is charming, Nikon is sharp and Pantex is intoxicating."

Among them, "Pantex" is the transliteration of Pentax, which is also the name of the older generation of photographers.

This allusion originated from the film age and summed up the lens characteristics of Canon, Nikon and Pentax.

Times have changed, and now Pentax is half dead, with a market share of less than 2%, and a large number of lenses are made by Longteng. It's no use flattering Pentax with such outdated jokes.

Some people say that "Mount Olympus" is "Leica of the East". What a ghost ...

After all, the old mage is old, and after all, he has a little old vision of the movie era.

I can't agree with the level, but there are still some subtle differences between different brands of lenses. Different lens materials and different coating processes determine the color difference.

Old-fashioned optical design theory, large lens contrast. The details must be poor (for example, the old Nikon lens tends to Gao Fancha), the lens contrast is low, and the details must be excellent (for example, the Canon FD lens tends to have high details); The lens is designed to balance contrast and detail.

However, after entering the1990s, the application of simulation design in optical design is very popular. Therefore, lens convergence is a common situation in this world. Including the coating that we often say has a decisive influence on color, it is simulated in advance in the design software, and any coating you want can be used. Including temperature changes, spectral range, which can be simulated. The lens hasn't been made yet. In addition to understanding the imaging performance of the lens, the software even helps you calculate the approximate weight of the lens in the future, and even cost analysis.

Now Canon and Pentax are not necessarily Gao Fancha without Nikon, and Nikon is not necessarily without details of Canon.

Because everyone uses the same original plan. So there are fewer and fewer things that can determine the difference in lens description ability.

Tell me about my own feelings. Nikon, Canon, Pentax and Sony cameras have all been used. At first, the university used Nikon D90, which was used everywhere with a pullover lens. It turned out that Nikon was really sharp. Later, I used 70D and 6D, and gradually fell in love with the warm colors of Canon. Then I accidentally went to 6D this year and bought Sony A7R2. Sure enough, it was produced by Sony, and the photos and videos taken were even clearer than Nikon's. But then I thought about taking more portraits, so I started the 5D4 that most photographers dream of.

Each brand of such a machine camera has its own characteristics. In fact, the current retouching technology is so mature and the retouching ability is better, but it will not affect too much shooting. Camera shooting just gives you some feelings before the final work comes out.

But then again, I personally like the softness of Canon and the brilliance of Sony. Just all kinds of fun.

Canon has done a good job in marketing, but it is a little worse than Nikon in technology. Canon's definition is not enough, like a hazy layer, so it looks very soft. Nikon's definition is very high, so it looks sharp. Canon spends money on advertising marketing, while Nikon spends money on specialized research technology.

All three brands are in use, Pentax's favorite,

Hasselblad and mamia medium format were used in the early days, and 135 format was not used until the digital age. Nikon was used at first, 10 years. Later, I liked to use Canon directly for 7 years, and later I changed the Sony micro-single for portability and focusing convenience. ...

The following is Canon.

Florence, Italy

Milan, Italy

4/3 is also a good choice. Olympus is also my favorite. Em 10 will always be with me. Look at its direct cinema effect.

20 19 Nha Trang, Vietnam

Only Olympus is with me most often.

In 2020, due to work needs, Sony's micro-single was added. Sony is another style. The most prominent Sony's focusing system rarely goes wrong. Basically, you can shoot with confidence.

I wish all my friends job satisfaction.

The question itself is incorrect. The original words are: Nikon Sharp, Canon charming, Pantex intoxicating. The so-called Pantek is now Pentax, mainly Nikon is Sharp and Gao Fancha, so many people say it is suitable for scenery; Canon's portraits, especially the yellow people, are really pleasing. As for Pentax, it is the most German in Japan, especially for its green performance. Speaking of the development of equipment now, Pentax really lags behind, but it cannot be denied that Pentax has made historic contributions and profound knowledge in optics. Just like Minolta, even if the brand has not been preserved for a long time, it has left many classics. In the past two years, Pentax's new 720 lens and Star Wizard are no worse than any focusing market segment of Nikon Canon, and the biggest gap is focusing. Good control and good picture quality. Nova Elf is the first star head with electric aperture. Pentax is backward because it can't give up the original bayonet. Unlike canon, I dare not let go of the original bayonet. It always carries a heavy load. I hope Pentax can stand up and return to the front line this time!

Canon is not enterprising and is ready to change doors.

I don't deserve to be an old mage. Tell me about my experience! Canon is still the first choice for portrait shooting, and there is nothing to say about the color and imaging quality of the picture. After the wedding dress is controlled, it can be straight out. This photo was taken by 5D3+ Sigma 85 1.4.
