35mm vs 50mm vs 85mm Lens Comparison for Portrait Photography

35mm vs 50mm vs 85mm Lens Comparison for Portrait Photography

I am really excited to bring you this instructional photography tutorial! I am demonstrating the differences between three popular fixed focal lengths: a 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm. I begin with side-by-side differences with the same pose. Next we do a set of images where I use each lens how I typically would in a photoshoot. Lastly, we go indoors and use all natural window light so you can really get a feel for the proximity that comes with each focal length.

I am so so excited to be partnered with KEH Camera on this tutorial! I have been buying from KEH and I absolutely love their services. They are where I bought my replacement Minolta X370 from! It’s a reliable option for purchasing AND selling your used camera gear. All of the items on their website are throughly inspected for quality and each listing is graded, you can see the different lens option conditions (for example: excellent and like-new). Even before this video when I purchased from KEH my film camera arrived very fast, which I was pleasantly surprised to find!
