For crop sensor ones, the focal length values differ. There are benefits and downsides to owning zoom and prime lenses. It all comes down to what you are photographing. For more information on how to choose the right kind of lens, read our article here. Prime lenses tend to be smaller, lighter, faster, sharper with a higher level of resolution. They are the perfect partner for low-light conditions and a shallow depth of field due to their fast apertures.
Faster and wider aperture costs more money. But generally prime lenses are cheaper than zoom lenses with the same fixed aperture value. Unfortunately, photographers are becoming lazier and lazier while sacrificing image quality for zoom lenses. With zoom lenses, you can quickly change from a wide-angle to a telephoto lens with just a flick of the wrist. Meanwhile, the prime lenses ensure that you have to zoom with your feet, keeping you active.
The fixed focal length also means that you have to get creative and walk around as much as possible to discover the best distance from your subject. This can inspire you to have some new ideas, as well as discovering some interesting angles during the photo shoot.
A focal length of 35mm gives you a field of view of This is a great travel companion, as you get to see more of the scene. It is the wide-angle lens you should get if you are aiming to avoid too much distortion. Having a wider field of view allows you to get closer to your subject. It also allows you to keep a somewhat safe distance to capture candid moments. The 35mm lens is great in tight spots, as the wide-angle will capture those details just to the side of the main focal area. This lens is versatile, letting you capture close-ups and landscapes with no problem at all.
It lets you be part of the scene and interact more with your subject. The distortion is a little bit more aggressive. But it might fit well for full body portraits, as the angle lets you fit the whole person into the frame from a relatively close distance. It provides a wide aperture and an excellent autofocus system, meaning it is great for low light conditions. Also, it gives you more play in keeping your ISO low, therefore maintaining picture quality.
It is the standard of all lenses and has been for some time. It is the lens I would recommend to a photographer after getting used to their mm kit lens.
It provides much better image quality than the kit lenses. It also forces the photographer to move around and step out of their comfort zone. Perhaps the best advantage of prime lenses like a 35mm or 50mm is that they offer much sharper images than most zoom lenses. That's because primes don't have all the elements and moving parts inside them like a zoom lens does. With fewer "obstacles" for light to get through, the result is often sharper photos.
Additionally, prime lenses have much wider apertures, which means they can collect far more light than their zoom counterparts. With all that extra light, you can take low-light photos with far more confidence and better results!
That wide aperture also helps blur the background of images, which comes in handy for portraits. Another distinct advantage of prime lenses over zooms is that they tend to be smaller and lighterweight. With a smaller lens, you've got a greater ability to work lean and mean, which is great for things like street photography or travel photography where having a big zoom lens on your camera could make it difficult to find your way through crowds or take photos without drawing everyone's attention.
It's also worth noting that many prime lenses are quite inexpensive as lenses go. Something else that's important to realize is that prime lenses are extremely versatile. That goes for 35mm lenses and 50mm lenses as well.
You can use them for still images or video, portraits or landscapes, day or night photography And while 35mm lenses and 50mm lenses have all these things in common, there are some distinct differences of which you should be aware. When deciding between a 35mm vs 50mm lens, one thing to bear in mind is the field of view. Naturally, a 35mm lens offers a wider view of the subject, which makes it perhaps a little more versatile of the two.
This is particularly true of situations in which you're shooting in tight spaces or close quarters - that extra real estate from left to right that's captured by a 35mm lens makes tight shots much easier to get. Caption: This crop sensor camera has a 23mm lens, equivalent to a 35mm field of view. Lightroom gives you the option to filter your entire catalogue according to the focal length at which each image was shot, so that might be one place to start.
Another option might be to take your kit lens and lock if off at 35mm or the APS-C equivalent of 24mm and try shooting for a week. Then lock it off at 50mm or the APS-C equivalent of 35mm and see how that goes. Alternatively, you may wish to splash out on one of each.
If you have small children but also want to try your hand at more considered portraits, you may well need both the 35mm lens and the 50mm lens. Both are great portrait lenses, however, a 50mm will generally give you more depth of field thus offering better subject separation , show less distortion, and still have a wide enough field of view to capture enough of the surrounding context.
Each has its own advantages. That said, having both in your kit is certainly not a requirement. Sometimes, constraints in focal length can even be good for creativity.
So, 35mm or 50mm? As a first step into the world of primes, both are good choices but for different reasons. Hopefully, you should know whether you need the width of the 35mm or the cinematic feel offered by the 50mm lens; otherwise, you might just have to stretch to owning one of each!
