There are many times that we have talked in this blog of bright lenses, that if for this occasion you can use a bright lens, that if for this one too, that if we recommend a bright lens for portraits, etc. About these types of lenses, we do not mean that they have a built-in light that prevents the flash, but are lenses with a large aperture, jokes aside, a bright lens can prevent you from needing the flash at any time, because because its maximum diaphragm is greater, it allows more light to enter. These lenses, if you’re not sure what I mean, are those with a maximum aperture equal to or greater than f/2 (f/2, f/1. 8, f/1. 4, f/1?).
I said superior and yet I put lower numbers, it is because the opening is measured so, conversely, the greater the opening, the lower the number f / and vice versa, in many occasions these goals will save you from problems, and not only that, they will also allow you to play with a very small depth of field, creating a significant impact with a seemingly insignificant theme, so in the title I tell you that you must have one. the team does not make the photographer, but when it comes to expanding it, we recommend some accessories more than others. To start growing, a bright lens is a good starting point; To take a leap forward in photography, this is essential.
- So today I bring you some examples.
- Does that necessarily mean that you are the best and that you must be one of them?No.
- These are.
- As I just told you.
- Examples.
- Maybe one suits you.
- Or you can keep looking and find another that will convince you more or suit your creative needs.
- The thing is that when it comes to expanding your team.
- You opt for such a goal.
You will see that these are all fixed focal lengths, I chose them because they have higher quality, greater clarity and are brighter, although if you want to know more about the benefits of fixed focal length over zooms, you should read this.
If you still don’t know why to buy a bright lens, I’ll summarize (many) the most important reasons:
And now I do, I present you with five brilliant goals to wet your appetite.
I’ll start with this one because it’s Mario’s favorite, in fact he dedicated a complete article, one of the most impacted on the blog, why?
Now I’m going to talk about the Canon version, then we’ll talk about the Nikon version?
Disadvantages
Also available for Sony.
And speaking of 50 mm, this lens is so versatile and attractive because it looks like the vision of the human eye, I present the bet of Sigma. This goal is not to take a ‘small step’, but to take the ‘big step’. The best in terms of quality between 50mm, but of course, it has a (very high) price. Approximately 800 euros on Amazon (this is the canon version).
Why this price?
Perhaps the downside (in addition to the price;), but someone who wants something costs something) is the weight, as it weighs almost three times that of Canon or Nikon. Yes, are we talking about a 5-star?
A light lens (200 grams. ) At a relatively low cost you can get it for about 200 euros. It is intended for DX cameras, i. e. it is not valid for Full Frame cases, so it would actually equal 50 mm. It works for the full format, but the quality it gives these cameras is not acceptable to most users. It is ideal for beginners.
The best:
Worse:
This lens is manufactured exclusively for the X series of retro cameras of the brand and its construction is metallic. Very light, it does not reach 190 grams and very compact. It has a very good image quality, the autofocus system is quite fast, although on Amazon it is around 550 euros.
Disadvantages
Have I ceded your appetite to start thinking about a very bright lens?At least if you got here it’s because it caught your eye and something, even a little bit, you thought it was helpful. If so, am I satisfied?
And if you are looking for a lens but still have doubts after reading this article, I recommend you read this one about the goals that Mario recommends the most.
Thank you for being all the way and sharing it, if that was helpful. See you soon!
