Dan Wake Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 If possible I wish to see some examples of scenes taken at 135mm focal length from movies, shorts, whatsoever where you recognize to have seen or read, listened talking, etc, etc... some. just that were shooted at 135mm and we can comment about it. Also I wish to ask to you where would be the common use in the grammar language of the cinematographer to use the 135mm? for what kind "scene", from wich distance from the subject would they prefer to use this focal length? thx if it's possible to learn about it! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Wake Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 Check out Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, it has a bunch of tracking telephoto shots. Thank you I'm going to watch it, I didn't know it. Maybe we could speak a little bit after. I will take some note while watching it so maybe we can discuss a little bit about his cinematography. Thank you again, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgharding Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 It's a bit of a "no-mans land" focal length. Short telephoto... I tend to go for 85 or 180/200 either side of it. I suppose if I were using a zoom to frame a shot I may end up using that length, but I'd probably stop short of owning a 135mm prime. Everyone has different tastes though...

jgharding Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Of course if you use a photographic full frame (5D size) sensor it'll be wider, like a 85mm on super 35. So it's more useful on full frame i think than S35/APSC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkor Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 The 135mm are intended to be used as portrait lenses on full frame, on aps-c they are in a weird corner especially because you can't zoom and moving around makes no sense at the tele end.

richg101 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 shoot 135mm on anamorphic, aps-c and you have a lovely fov and dof combination. gets you close, but not too close. There are a few shots from this combo in this video. they stand out from the rest as my favourite shots. http://vimeo.com/57724126 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgharding Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Ah yes i forget, with anamorphic the view is a lot wider so it's useful again!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
