Crop Frame 24mm vs 35mm vs 50mm vs 85mm vs 135mm

Portrait comparing prime lenses on the Canon 7D mk II crop frame camera, photo 1

In today’s video we are comparing every single prime lens that’s in my photography kit but on a crop frame camera, the Canon 7D mk2! The lenses/focal lengths we have are:

Sigma 24mm f1.4

Canon 35mm f1.4 mkII

Canon 50mm f1.2

Canon 85mm f1.2 mkII

Canon 135mm f2

If this topic sounds familiar, it’s because I just did this comparison on a full frame camera, the Canon 5D mk4 and you can take a look at that video + those photos here if you’re interested. On top of comparing all my prime lenses on a crop frame camera, I also took a photo standing in the same spot on a full frame so we can also see the 1.6x difference a crop sensor makes! It was all a little confusing on the day having to change my lens so many times, but I think in the end run it was all worth it to see these photos side by side.

If you’re interested in seeing more prime lens and focal length comparisons you can check out the whole series I created here:
