I have seen MANY videos about cameras, lenses, aperture settings, etc. and this is BY FAR the best video on this particular subject I have ever seen. Thanks!!!

[LorencCala]

The only youtube video which gives you distances which can give you a very important hint for comparing the focal lengths. Thanx man!

[captainxbengex]

The best lens comparison video I have seen on YouTube! I'll say it again for the people in the back. THE BEST LENS COMPARISON VIDEO I HAVE SEEN. This is extremely useful and the detail in your presentation is great. Thank you for a great video. I just started editing my first documentary and felt more comfortable with a lot of your tips and knowledge you have shared. One thing that I think would be a good future topic is how to transition or go between different interviews.

I love every focal length for a different situation. I love the samples in this video

[lukecresante]

The distance in ft is a really valuable piece of feedback! Really thorough stuff including that

[vtk_jnr]

Mate, this is gold. Was searching YouTube land for this and just couldn't find it. And what do you know, it was on my feed. Hats off to the "little red man".

Each time, the 35mm (equivalent) has been the most pleasing to my eye. It would explain why I own so many 24/35mm lenses for Super35/FF, respectively.
Great video, Mark! Also, cheers from Toronto!

This video is so important! thank you for taking the time to do this for us Mark! Definitive proof that different sensors do not change foreground/background compression with equivalent focal lengths.
Regards

Awesome!! so a low aperture is not the only factor that increases the shallow depth of field, increase in focal length also does.

thanks for sharing. (especially the screenshot)

[bubbakneipp]

This is exactly what I needed, and at the right time! Shot a two cam (A cam: C100 MKii B cam: 5D iii) last week and with the social distancing I was having issues over the right focal length. This would have speeded up my decision making process. Thanks!

[AxTechs]

This is really useful as I'm trying to create a documentary soon and the hardest part is definitely the interview look

[thepapadeez]

man, way to share your knowledge... as someone growing and learning about filmmaking on the daily, just want to say Thank you!

[eifionjones]

It’s good that you did the distance test too, gives a much better sense of how they translate a medium shot. 24 and 35 are usually my faves on super 35. I actually find a 28mm on super 35 a really nice field of view to work with. Normal ish, bit of width to bring in some surroundings and perspective whilst having enough compression to pull in the background a bit.

very informative video Mark, I'm really liking the 35mm/85mm full frame look. thanks for dropping this video

[lucbenito]

Hi from France ! Thanks a lot Mark ! your videos are awesome and this one especially is very helpful for beginners.

[mehrdadhaghighi]

I have been looking for a video just like this one for so long! Thank you for putting in the work! Great video!!!

[jojok]

Thank you for putting the time in to creating this video. Super helpful!

[Glen.Danielsen]

Mark, monstrous thanks for nailing concepts I have been trying to understand for a long time. You made it incisive and crystal clear.
God bless‼️ 💛😎

[SidsDrakon]

This is super helpful even for photography. I have dificulties picturing the focal lenghts and this helps a bunch thx Mark

[amirulrasyidyussof]

Best comparison especially when you include the distance. It can help people to figure out which lense suit their studio size. Im going in 35mm after seeing this.
