Hey folks, Matt from Out of the Image.com. We have a question here from Tisha on the email. It says the heading is regarding the Nikon D5300. But the question is actually more about the 85 millimeter F18G and the 50 millimeter F18G. She says, hello, I wanted to know if you could help me out watching a YouTube video that you compared the Nikon 85F18G to the 50mm F14G. I am new to photography and I have a Nikon D5300. I am looking to do portrait photography, holiday pictures and pictures with blurred backgrounds. What is the difference between an 85F18G and a 50F18G? Thank you. So, she specifically asked about the two F18s. And basically the difference is just the focal length. You are field of view. So the 85 to use kind of slang terms is zoomed in more. So it is a longer lens. You are going to be shooting, if you are in a tight shooting situation, it might be too long for you. I like the 50F18G on a DX body like your D5300. That is a crop sensor body where we apply a 1.5 multiplier. So it is essentially a 75mm which is very close to an 85mm lens for traditional portraits. So on a full frame, I would like the 85mm but because you are shooting a crop sensor, the D53 and we apply the 1.5 crop of the sensor, the smaller sensor. The field of view essentially becomes a 75mm lens. So if I was shooting full frame, I like the 85mm and because I like that 85mm field of view, I use a 50F18G on a DX sensor like your 5300 or the 55 or the 56 or any of the 7000 series or even the 3000 series. So the 3400 or the 7200 or the 7500. So I hope that clarifies it. What is the difference? That is it. Now, if you are shooting the 85 on full frame, which you are not, but if you were, you are also going to get a shallow or depth of field. The other thing I should point out that does not matter between full frame or APS-C DX sensors is you need to get more compression with an 85mm. That means the longer the lens, the more telephoto tends to compress the background and the foreground together more. A lot of people think it is a very flattering type of effect, especially for portraits. But on your 5300, I think you are going to see the 50F18G much better price and it is a great portrait lens. So that is what I would recommend. So I will throw that back to you folks. Anybody would rather use the 85 on a DX? Did you have anything else to throw in about the differences? Did I miss something? Let me know in the comments below. Thanks for your question, Tisha. Stay tuned. We will be back soon here at rdnmg.com.
