The Tamron 17-70mm f2.8 Di III-A VC RXD is a zoom lens for Sony APS-C, E-mount mirrorless cameras. This lens is roughly the equivalent to a 24-105mm f4 lens on a full-frame camera. In this portrait photoshoot with the Tamron 17-70mm f2.8, I am using this lens on Sony's APS-C A6600.
The Fujifilm X-T4 is a 26MP APS-C mirrorless camera. I am using the X-T4 with the XF 35mm f1.4 lens, which is the full frame equivalent to 50mm. This is one of my favourite lenses for portrait photography from Fujifilm.
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:
24mm vs 35mm vs 50mm vs 85mm vs 135mm on a full frame camera
Watch the video below to hear my thoughts on each of these focal lengths! And please subscribe to my channel if you haven’t already, I upload a new video every Wednesday.

The Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 is a lens my partner Dan uses to film our YouTube videos with on the Sony A7sII and A7sIII. During this photoshoot, I decided to try it out for portrait photography alongside the Sigma 50-100mm f1.8 lens. I love the colour rendition and quality of our raw YouTube video footage, and am excited to see what these lenses look like for photography!
Both the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 and Sigma 50-100mm f1.8 are crop frame lenses. Dan uses them adapted with a Metabones 4 to his Sony cameras. However, I hired the Canon 7D mk2 crop frame camera body to use them for this portrait photoshoot. I find that using native mount lenses helps with autofocus performance and accuracy. For video it's not a problem since Dan manual focuses. But for photography, part of a lens review is seeing how well a lens can autofocus.
Watch the behind the scenes video below to see my camera settings and how we took these images. I also share my review on how these 2 Sigma zoom lenses perform for portrait photography.
Below are my favourite photos I took on this day! I included before and after examples so you can see what the image looks like straight out of the camera. The photos in this blog post are edited with my Mountains Lightroom Preset Pack. You can watch the behind the scenes video to see all the SOOC photos.
