5 reasons to love the 35mm lens

Although many people are convinced that a lens with a focal length of 85mm is more suitable for shooting portraits, the 35mm fixed focus lens is still an artifact for most photographers. So why do so many photographers like 35mm lenses?

The 35mm lens can capture almost all subjects: landscape, portrait, travel, macro, street shooting, architecture, and product photography, and it covers almost all areas. In the full-frame system, the 35mm angle of view belongs to the small wide angle. It has great flexibility for shooting different subjects. The so-called “advancement” means that you can exclude unnecessary things from entering the mirror in response to composition needs. The closest focusing distance of the 35mm mirror is generally 0.25-0.3M , which is beneficial to the point closer to the subject. As for the "retreat and observance", it refers to its wide-angle characteristic. If you back a few steps, the general scenery can be covered, for example, indoors. The environment photographing family photos is enough to deal with.

 

Because the 35mm lens on a half-frame camera is equivalent to 52.5mm . It is well known that the 50mm lens is the closest to the human eye, so from the aspect of composition, 35mm is very close to the human eye composition habit on the half-frame camera, providing people with a more realistic visual experience.

 

Photo enthusiasts are always concerned with portraiture, and those with more portraits will choose 85mm and 135mm lenses. Their biggest feature is to highlight the theme of the characters. The advantage of small wide angle is that they can keep close to the subject. In addition, the selected background is taken into account. It has more environment than telephoto energy.

Compared to a zoom lens, the maximum aperture of the fixed lens is generally larger, and the maximum aperture of 35mm is generally at least f1.8 , or even f1.4 . It is obviously easier to highlight the subject when shooting. Unlike the blur effect of 50mm , the 35mm focal length of the small wide angle may not be so slim, which allows us to accommodate more cultural elements in the picture.

 

Compared to a standard zoom lens (eg 24-70mm F2.8 ), the 35mm fixed lens has a weight of approximately 300g ( calculated with an aperture of F1.4/F1.8 ), just a standard zoom lens of about 1/3 , better optics The quality, the more beautiful scenery, the lighter and more compact, will be another reason why you fall in love with the 35mm fixed focus lens.
