    if it is a crop sensor camera then it would be like a 32mm lense

    So many wrong tips in here. Good tips for “newbies” but I’ll stick to my
    own techniques.

    Well ok – a 50mm would be better that way.

    Focal lengths such as 50mm, 85mm, and 135mm are used because of the
    perspective. Using a wide angle such as a 20mm lens would definitely
    exaggerate the subject’s facial features to a point where it wouldn’t be
    very flattering. The perspective of a 20mm lens looks the same weather it’s
    on a large format, medium format, full frame, APS-C, or micro four thirds
    camera. The smaller the sensor, the less of a window the camera has to
    capture the image. Zoom is perspective, crop is the window.

    f4 is far from good?! Are you kidding me? Compare sharpness of 1.4 and 4.0
    Lens…

    It’s OK for portraits at 85mm, but you need good lighting. It’s not a great
    indoor lens, except maybe at the widest end.

    It still has barrel distortion at close range.

    The key for the 20mm lens was F1.7

    Step 1.) Buy NIKON. No more steps…

    It is definitely strange in a video titled as “How to take great portrait
    photos” where they don’t even say what camera they uses. He’s using what
    seems like a Four Third-camera, making a 20mm lens act like 40 mm (there
    around) on a full frame camera 🙂

    @bry0000000 i think it is because of the 1.4 aperture , you can get with
    that aperture some nice bokeh.
