Of course, there are no On the other hand you might feel 24 is a better fit between 14 and 50, or you may simply prefer that angle of view. The best option would be to take your 14 and 50 to a shop and try out both the 28 and 24, and see what works for you. David Douglas Duncan use to shoot with a 25, 50 and It seemed to work for him.
Bill Garret, former photographer and editor at National Geographic Magazine use to say all a photojournalist needs is a 28 and a I've always found anything wider than a 20mm to be too specialized.
Good luck with your photography. The OP needs to buy both and then decide which one to sell. He didn't say what he was going to use it for. A photojournalist and a wedding photographer are two very different things.
The wedding photographer has to make the subject look great while the PJ has to make a striking image that fits the story. In real life though I'd pick neither. For weddings on FX I'd pick the 20mm, 35mm and 85mm primes with zooms as backup f2. Two camera bodies. As a PJ I'd just go with two f2. And two bodies of course.
As a landscape photographer I'd go with f4 zooms and a tripod. And if I wanted to do it all, I'd get all of the lenses needed and fill my bag according to the job at hand. Mathematically, a 24mm angle-of-view falls almost exactly midway between that of a 14mm lens and a 50mm lens.
The horizontal AOV of a 14mm lens is degrees, and that of a 50mm lens is just under 40 degrees, making a 64 degree difference between them. Add 32 degrees half of 64 to 40 degrees and you get an HAOV of 72 degrees. A 24mm lens has an HAOV of approximately 74 degrees and so is close enough to halfway between. A 28mm offers 10 degrees less HAOV. That would give you a more noticeable difference than you would get from a 24mm. But, as has been mentioned, quality lenses in that range can be a bit pricey.
Metrix X 12 years ago. I had a 28mm f2 and I sold it because my 24 - mm zoom was better optics and 28 to 24 does make a difference. Between a 24 and 28 the quality of the optics would be my first criterion. I found that a 28 wouldn't cut often in the big country landscapes such as climbing in the mountains. After getting a 24 I would never leave home without it. Edited by icy health member 12 years ago. MadArtistPhoto: I may agree to your observation and you cleverly avoided the use of the term "perspective".
I think that in photography, the use of the term perspective is a misnomer otherwise poorly interpreted. Both shot in the same position and focused on the same subject. Nikon should have consulted an expert on desriptive geometry, i. MadArtistPhoto Posted 12 years ago. Edited by MadArtistPhoto member 12 years ago. I have seen other examples similar to the two you posted here showing 'Picture Angle' and 'Perspective', and I think they should be a requirement for all new photographers to learn.
They are excellent examples of how different lenses show the same scene. Michael Raso - Film Photography Podcast 12 years ago.
Quite a big difference. Especailly with the wide angles. I use my 17, 20, 24 and 28mm glass quite often. But it comes down to personal preference.
I use both, but prefer the 28mm in most circumstances. I seem to be in the minority though John McLusky 12 years ago. Tamron have a nice little tool that allows you to visualise the field of view of a lens requires flash : www.
Why Nikon can't build a 24 that doesn't do either is beyond me. You point that lens anywhere near the sun, the picture is destroyed. No flare-no ghosts-no worries. The difference between the focal lengths? I can tell a bit of a difference, sure. But the 28 always wins out. It depends on what and how you shoot. I went with a 24 over a 28 for 2 reasons 1 - I wanted to go as wide as I could go.
Because when you are indoors, you can only back up so far till your back is literally up against the wall. You do have to be careful to keep the camera level to minimize distortion. WB Lynch 10 years ago. I like to use the lens hood on my OM Zuiko 28mm and 24mm. The 24mm has a definite perspective difference from the The 24 is razor sharp but the 28 gets the call more often. Pic16Bit 10 years ago. Nahanni, I have a 20mm f3. Seems like the '20s overall image performance is better. You think?
I have a 28mm and a 24mm but prefer using the 40mm for wide angle. I find that it's wide enough. Much of my photos from the sejour of lending that lens were taken at 10mm - I loved that lens. The VR was my standard lens on the D compare to Which might be part of my "so? Digital DX examples 10mm. I sometimes wonder if my Vivitar 24mm is not better than my Rokkar and Nikkor.
I can say that my mm Sigma gets used mostly at 18mm. Nahanni, I guess there are at least two bad specimens in the world. Mine is too soft in the corners. The f2, that is whatever the aperture. Then there is the Rokkor 24 mm VFC for that extra bit of depth of field. I had to look that one up. I do not even want to look the price up. Cecilia Temperli 10 years ago. I have a Nikkor 20mm f2.
I too have been looking at a lens between 20mm and 50mm, but have still not come to a useful decision! And now I am going back and forth reading all the comments about 24mm and 28mm! Decisions, decisions Or if you are like me you just know when to do what you want when you see it I think wider is better unless you are doing portraits.
Just a thought about wide angles and speed. As mentioned I use a 20mm f3. I had the chance to get the 24mm f2. I thought cool, its close to the 20mm, and its got more speed for a brighter screen. Well, I discovered, who needs speed with a wide? Like the 20mm f3. Point being, do we really need to see with a lens that provides tremendous depth of field? Just set the aperture, f8 or f11, spot the distance scale, and go for it. As long as the foreground starts late enough, it should all be in focus.
Le yeux sans visage 10 years ago. For street shooting, I used to use my 28mm a lot - then I had the opportunity to get a 24mm on the cheap and it made all the difference. Do not underestimate what that four millimeter difference will make.
I had a 28mm Yashica ML and bought a 20mm Soligor. It was the right choice of focal length, I don't need anything in between. Sharpness is ok when stopped down.
TJBoothe Posted 10 years ago. Edited by TJBoothe member 10 years ago. A 24mm lens increases the field of view about 10 degrees more than 28mm, does that sound significant? It is A 85mm lens increases the FOV about 10 degrees from a mm lens Edited by quietlightphoto member 10 years ago. Yes, you will notice the difference. I use my 24mm and 20mm very often now. Love them. I agree with "justfilm".
Both Voigtlander lenses. The 40 is a great focal length. Better than the 50 IMHO. Shot vertically it makes for a nice semi-wide angle. So with these two lenses I also use the 85 F1. There may be some harmony in this set-up. We shall see Metrix X 9 years ago. Almost 4 years dead thread so I have sort of refined my opinions. I don't have much use either prefer longer or shorter focal length lenses.
I buy them try them and sell them. The 24mm is just wide enough to capture a certain type of landscape shot that enjoy taking. But on the verge of too wide to compose through the viewfinder. Any wider and I feel a sort of vertigo when I pan.
The superwides although popular for some these days are for me just for special effects. Some shots at 24mm www. Pic16Bit Posted 9 years ago. Edited by Pic16Bit member 9 years ago. I think the 28mm is for the street. Wide enough to stay close, but long enough not to lose subject interest in the distant.
Wayne Stevenson 9 years ago. The 24mm and even 20mm are perfectly wide. This is weird - I was just looking at this thread before it was bumped, as I was thinking about getting a wider lens than 28mm in Pentax K. I've never really been all that happy with 28mm. It's always felt too wide for the street but not wide enough for a proper look at skyscrapers or a whole scene. I mostly end up at around 40 mm or full wide i. I don't really see the benefit of both a 24 AND a I've never used a 24, so maybe I shouldn't comment, but I'm going to anyway.
The beauty of the 28, for me, is that I can easily manipulate it so that it generates distortion, or not. This would be more difficult with the 24, which is always going to look wide. It's not a FL I would want a prime for, but if I buy a zoom it has to cover 24mm.
For me , 24mm is it. But yea, 28mm is an absolute no go for me. I really loathe that FOV. What part of "for me" don't you understand, the "for" or the "me"? I even bolded where I stated that this was "for me" in case you missed it. Me preferring 24mm does not mean everyone else does too; if you can't understand that I feel sorry for you.
I prefer 24mm and 35mm FFE focal lengths. I think that it comes down to what you shoot, the 24mm does have distortion characteristics more like ultra wide lenses so if people fill your frames, they will be more distorted than they would with the 28mm.
For travel, landscapes and interiors, either will be good, for street, people, family, parties and everyday use, the 28mm will be better. But there are other things to consider as well like aperture, I have the Fuji 16mm 24mm equiv with a f1.
The big Fuji is a wonderful lens for interiors, low light, astro, the Ricoh is a street monster with its tiny body and lens, so it all depends really.
A normal lens will give a magnification equal to what the eye sees only if you are viewing an uncropped print from a distance equal to the diagonal width of the print. As a lot of us are pixel-peepers, it's no surprise that a wider lens looks more normal. With fix lenses, way back then, I enjoyed using 24mm and 35mm as a wide combo but most often those were borrowed so I had a 28mm of my own.
When zoom lenses started to incorporate the 24mm wide end I found that most of my shots were taken at that. Is it worth the hefty price tag?
