Which Lens Is Better for Travel Photography: 35mm or 50mm? (VIDEO)

Portrait and wedding photographer Julia Trotti loves prime lenses. In fact, she known for stocking her camera bag exclusively with primes whenever she heads out on shoot.

So, when a recent trip to Gdansk, Poland came up, Trotti decided to see if she could find the ultimate travel lens by testing out both a 35mm and a 50mm lens for travel photography. Which one turned out to be better?

Well, in a previous video from a year ago, she offered five reasons why she thought a 35mm lens was "perfect for travel photography." Has she changed her mind since and now prefers her "Nifty 50"?

In the clip, Trotti pairs her Canon 5D Mark IV with the Canon 35mm F/1.4 and Canon 50mm F/1.2 to see how each one stacks up while shooting street portraits, food photography, landscapes, and close-up portraits in Poland. Check out the comparison video below to find out and then go visit Trotti's awesome YouTube channel for more photography content.
