The 24mm AOV (angle of view) fast-action challenge makes even the Canon EOS-1D X's extreme 12fps frame rate seem slow. When used for action sports with a rapidly approaching subject, a 24mm angle of view makes capture of the perfect pose at the perfect framing distance very challenging.Ī telephoto lens' narrow angle of view provides a much longer distance range for ideal subject framing, allowing far more time for the perfect capture. While on sports photography, I'll drop in a related teaching point: Showing lots of venue in the background such as one I'll share below.

This focal length can be used to capture the big picture of the venue, overhead shots of the stars and their coaches being interviewed after the game and, when access permits, full body environmental action sports photos While telephoto lenses are more frequently used for sports, a 24mm angle of view allows a very different perspective on these events. Videographers often find the 24mm focal length to be just right for their needs. When combined with an extreme wide aperture, a 24mm lens is a great choice for night sky photography. Photojournalist's needs are often similar to those of a wedding photographer and can also make use of 24mm. Wedding and event photography often utilizes a wide angle lens for capturing the large scene, for environmental-type portraits and for larger group portraits in tight spaces. I've been using this lens around the house for documenting life in general. This focal length is quite wide and allows an entire scene to remain in focus, but 24mm is not so wide that it complicates composition.Ī very high percentage of my landscape images have been captured at 24mm.Īrchitectural photography, large product photography, interior photography, birthday parties. Landscape photography is a great use for a 24mm lens. The list is too long to generate, but I'll list some of my favorite uses. Only 50mm is better represented in Nikon's prime lens lineup and 24mm is tied for the focal length most represented by prime lenses in Canon's lineup. The 24mm focal length is wildly popular and very useful. Performance across these lens models is also shared including the attention-grabbing best-in-class image quality each has successively delivered. These lenses share not only similarity in name, but also in design as seen in the following comparison image. (an 85mm f/1.4 Art lens would also not be unexpected).
#PTLENS SIGMA 24 35 SERIES#
Sigma has been making waves in the industry with their "Art" series lenses and, with the 35mm and 50mm f/1.4 Art primes being so well received, it is only natural that the 24mm f/1.4 Art Lens is now part of the lineup That the 24mm f/1.4 Art lens has arrived is not a surprise. Pair that extreme wide aperture with a highly useful 24mm focal length, arguably best-available 24mm image quality and an attractive, highly functional design and you have a lens destined for success. Put "f/1.4" in the model name of your lens.
