    This is actually true in my experience as well. I shoot M43 and have a number of different lenses. The 20mm f1.7 pancake (40mm equivalent) is what I always come back to... And I have both a 50mm equiv and a 35ishmm equiv....both with big apertures.

    @thnikkamax 6 років тому +4

    Have always liked 38-42mm rangefinders for many of the reasons you mention in regards to the focal length. But these days, and even more so as home scanning/post-processing continuously improves whether digital or film, I think 21-28mm on full frame is the most ideal. Just crop what you need. Otherwise I'd have to agree.. straight out of camera 38-42mm is the McGyver of full frame focal length.

    Thank you for a very nice review! I have used 40 mm lenses since the days of Minolta CLE.
    Continued to use it on my Leicas! Never owned a 35 mm lens! When the mft came along
    I bought a GF1 with a 20 mm (40 mm ff) f 1,7. Still in daily use, superb lens. Bought a new GF1
    a few days ago and it gives the 20 a new lease of life. Use many other focal ranges with my GX7.
    Regards and keep up the good work, Ulf

    I was debating on this and the 35mm for my canon for a loooonng time, but I pulled the trigger about a month ago on the 40mm and I absolutely have no regrets.
    I was so used to the zoom lense on my canon that the pancake was just a breath of fresh air. It’s pretty damn sharp and extremely light. It’s my main now.

      Me too, I have a Sony A7RIV and couldn't decide on the 35mm 1.4 or Sony's 40mm f2.5. I knew I wanted the 40mm but I also wanted a fast lens. In the end, I felt I had to stick to my guns and get the 40mm as also the 35mm is just so damn big!! Over twice the size and I think nearly 3 times the weight and over twice the price!! I'm super happy now and know I made the right choice :)

    The 40mm is great on a full frame but on an APS-C it's stuck in No man's land. On my APS-C I use the Canon 24mm f2.8 pancake lens instead along with the 50mm f1.8 for portraits. The 24 pancake is the perfect all purpose (landscapes, street et all) lens.

      upgrade to full frame :) 6D is as low as 700$ used, and 5D mark I can be found as low as 200$. I found a 5D mark I with a 24-105 mark ii for only 630$ once on eBay. And believe me, full frame is worth it. Even the original 5D does incredibly in low light. The 5dmk2 can be found for roughly the same price as the 6D as well. All three of those options are incredible.

      Falena The crop factor for the A6000 is 1.5x so a 25mm lens would be close to 40mm, just a tad wider. I’m not too familiar with Sony lenses, but a 25mm lens would be a close equivalent at 37.5mm focal length. A 28mm lens would be 42mm.

      Nah. The best standard is same as the diagonal length across your image sensor. Hence why he said 43mm and Pentax in this video and also the digitalrev 5 reasons 35mm video.

  • @gmcubed
    @gmcubed 6 років тому +9

    I have this lens, but only because 50 is too tight on my crop sensor. I didn't want to go wide angle so this was my compromise. In hindsight though even 40 is too tight still. So I bought a 30mm sigma which I'm liking, even if it's sharpness isn't as good.

    • @Tagbadger3

      I agree. I used to have the 40 pancake, but on my crop sensor its too tight. Great size, but just wasn't finding use for it.

    • @rollojarvis6567
      @rollojarvis6567 6 років тому +2

      Yeah because you're actually using a 64mm equivalent which is too tight to be a "standard lens".

    • @John_Ridley
      @John_Ridley 6 років тому +1

      Yes, exactly, on a crop sensor the 24 is very nice (and is an EF-S mount so only usable on a crop sensor anyway)

    • @gmcubed
      @gmcubed 6 років тому

      John Ridley I would have gone with that if it were faster than 2 8. But I need better low light. 2.8 is ok, better than a kit, but still feels limiting.

  • @ej22_gc86
    @ej22_gc86 28 днів тому

    Bought the crop equivalent 24mm pancake precisely for this, it’s an awesome little all-rounder! Took me a little time getting used to it since it’s not quite as wide as the 18-200 zoom and it’s not as closed-in as the 50 (on the crop sensor anyway), but it’s lovely when you frame things well in it

    @johndaubney7311 3 роки тому

    I agree with you on the 40 being a great street lens. Bought an old Konica 40mm f1.8 and fell in love with the perspective. That led me to the voightlander 40mm f1.4. My favorite lens ...maybe of all time. Beautiful rendering crazy bokeh and sharp stopped down amazing color and fantastic black and white. It’s got some mojo. Anyhow 40mm is king for street !

    It's also a pretty tough lens. I accidently dropped mine at the top of Red Rocks Amphitheater and it rolled and bounced all the way the way to just a few rows from the stage (thankfully it was in the morning and not many people there). A nice gentleman caught it and gave it back to me. It still works, but has some scuffs and makes a little noise while focusing.

    I use a 40mm equivalente 20mm 1.7 pancake lens on my GH2 m43, and is by far my favorite lens for photos and the one I use the most. The middle ground FOV is just perfect for simply every situation. Only downside is the slow auto-focus speed.
