p.1 #9 · p.1 #9 · What focal length in your opinion makes the most sense being 1.0 1.2 1.4? | |
James -- For a fast lens on FF (I see you have a 6D), I like the 50/1.2L. I have a Samyang 35/1.4, and while nice, it doesn't' thrill me as much as the look I get from the 50. Near wide open it is velvety soft with beautiful colors, and stopped down my copy is extremely sharp. And the 50 is smaller too. I like the DOF and OOF areas best in the 50 compared to the 35/1.4 and 85/1.2L (too big, too heavy, and too slow of focusing for the high price). I find the 50 nimble and quick to shoot.
The 50 would be my choice for shallow DOF video too -- just enough DOF to get by.
I would undoubtedly like the 35/1.4L better than my Samyang, but not enough to go from the EF 35/2 I own for its AF. I will likely buy the new 35/2 IS within 6 months, but no plans for any other 85 than the Samyang 85/1.4 I have. You might want to look at the Sigma 35/1.4 if you decide on that focal length.
Good luck choosing! They all produce beautiful visual effects.
