That 35 f 1.8 just looks right with the a7C- it's a winning combo. When travelling the zooms do come in handy though. Hard to zoom with your feet when you are at the edge of a cliff.
Agreed. Gonna stick with the 35mm 1.8 for a while! Okay the edge of a cliff is the exception! Just imagining changing lenses on the edge and accidentally dropping is terrifying..

I agree. When you are trying to make "Art" in an environnement you know, I think prime lenses are what you need. As soon as you travel and you find yourself in an environnement you don't know I think a good zoom lens is very useful.
When traveling I use that Sigma lens with my a7c too! Great lens. I wonder sometimes if it would be better to use a 35mm prime and a 70-180mm lens as a travel combo. Weight and compactness of your kit is critical
I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers! This was great and a nice look into your process. I totally understand how you feel, getting tired of shooting the same places again and again
While I love my 35 and 85 when doing photography "just for me", the Tam 28-200 is *brilliant* when you're at the zoo or park with the kiddos -- you don't know if you're gonna get a classic 35mm frame or a 135mm portrait.
I have 2 zooms and 2 primes. I shoot apsc. Sony 10-20/4 (15-30/5.6), Sigma 18-50/2.8 (18-70/3.5), Sigma 30/1.4 (45/1.8), and Sigma 56/1.4 (86/1.8). I want to move toward all primes, but the standard zoom comes in handy at times when working with clients.
Awesome! I'm picking up the Sigma 16-28 tomorrow and still debating between the 35 1.8 and 55 1.8 as a light prime to go with it. I have the Tamron 28-75 G2 and 85 1.8, but really want a wider prime that will allow me to use the 16-28 as an everyday lens.
Have a look at all your Tamron 28-75mm pictures. Did you capture more at 35mm or at 55mm? I have the sigma 28-70mm for traveling and the 55mm is my edc. Autofokus is incredibly fast.
I like how you mentioned the compact size motivates for more action and as a result one can get more great photos. What is your opinion on the new Sony 16-35 F4 PZ?
Completely feel you on that topic, i mostly use my 35 mm now, but with the 70-180 in my bag because „you never know“. 😅 but the weight of that thing always makes me regret carrying it with me.
Wanted that lens for awhile but since I found myself cropping all the time when I had the 35GM, I went for the 50 2.5 G lens. Love these shots!with your new 35!
I usually prefer primes as well. However to label zooms as “cheating” is a little judgmental. Different people use different tools to get great results.
Man, I hate switching lenses.. I seem to always get dust on the sensor in the process. Seriously considering a two lens setup with the Tamaron 35-150 f2-2.8 and 17-28 f2.8 (or Sony 16-35 f4) and be done with it.
Thanks! My wife mainly uses the A7IV although I did use it recently as a B cam for a wedding I filmed. I've been meaning to make another video with the A7IV!
gran video hermano..! yo tengo el lente kit de la a7c, y hace 1 mes compre el lente 50 mm 1.2 gm, y es cierto que aunque sea compacto, se me hace mucho más pesado y visible, y estaba pensando en adquirir 24mm 2.8 que es uno más pequeño y el 85mm 1.8, en fin gran video, sigue así..
Thanks man! Highly recommend this 35mm. Still super compact and it’s the perfect medium focal range the have. Especially with the larger aperture if you need to let some extra light in!
Must be extremely hard trying to take some decent photos but at the same times have to do a solo filming like this; carrying another camera body mounted on a tripod around, constantly have to walk back to retrive the cam and worrying about it getting snatched while you are not looking at it.
Haha good question! I shot this between 5:45 AM and 7:30 AM. I’ve tried to film videos like this during the evening but there’s too many people out in the city so I get up and film when no one is out! Plus it was a Saturday morning so many people were sleeping in. There was definitely other people around when I was filming but not too many.
Firstly, I'm just shocked that you can have a city with almost no one around. The freedom to shoot, very jealous. Secondly, you make the argument so strong to sell my a74 to get a a7c and get an extra lens with the money saved. One day I'll do it, deep down losing the megapixel and 10bit video isn't the end of the world. But thanks for showing me the side that is true, more compact does make you carry your camera more
“Primes are better than zooms”, at 6:04 in his video “kinda wish I had the wide angle on.. (but too lazy to switch lenses)”… given most of your photography wouldn’t benefit a ton from 1.4 - 1.8 apertures.. I honestly think you’d be better off with a lightweight 24-70 or 16-35 (f4-56.. no need for 2.8), you basically disprove your thesis in the same video attempting to present your thesis :)
I appreciate your comment! You have a point regarding 6:04 but this was a very rare scenario where I actually have my camera bag with me while out shooting so it was hard to resist! Typically I leave my camera bag at home or in my vehicle. As for the aperture, I mentioned in the video that the aperture isn’t the point of using prime lenses, but the small size and portability. I do own the Sigma 28-70, which is the best compact EDC zoom for the A7C since it’s not much larger than the 35mm GM, but unless I’m photographing an event, I avoid using it. I won’t lie, I would love to pick up the 16-35 PZ that just came out! That internal zoom is niceee.
@@DylanBlackburn Thanks for the reply! I was probably more "troll-like" in my comment than intended. I can't disagree with the size and ergonomics of primes as an advantage, especially f1.8 ones that are especially small with decent sharpness. I guess in my case its just rare that it's a tradeoff I'm willing to make (because it's usually for travel or other situations where I can't afford to bring just ONE focal length, and definitely can't swap lenses constantly)

By jumping you might get once in a lifetime shot though

Maybe add shutter speed, aperture and ISO information too your photos 🌸
Great video !
I was just going to say this also. Great bideo. Hopeto see more
I just went to Europe with my a7c and only brought the sigma 24-70 2.8. not a small lens but loved it.

Congrats on 2k man! ⚡️
How's the video quality on the a7c. Could you do a video shoot just with it. I'm considering it vs a Lumix s5.
The video quality is solid! As solid as 8 bit footage can be. Amazing colors and AF.
looove this, so many beautiful shots! Great work dude
Thanks dude!! I'm glad you enjoyed!
my favorite lens is 35mm and 85mm but now i am testing 70-200 and believe me the pictures are amazing.
Loving it man, never stop grinding!
Always appreciate your support Jeremy!!

If I could get any lens I wanted right now, it would probably be that lens. Can’t beat the size!
@@DylanBlackburn Wow really damn

That’s how my 24-70 was for me! Made me hate carrying around a backpack altogether haha
Wanted that lens for awhile but since I found myself cropping all the time when I had the 35GM, I went for the 50 2.5 G lens. Love these shots!with your new 35!
Nice!! Hoping to make the 50 2.5 my next lens purchase. Fun fact, I’ve never owned a 50mm lens…
How do you like the 50?
I usually prefer primes as well. However to label zooms as “cheating” is a little judgmental. Different people use different tools to get great results.

Dope vid! Do you shoot much with the a7iv?
Thanks! My wife mainly uses the A7IV although I did use it recently as a B cam for a wedding I filmed. I've been meaning to make another video with the A7IV!
Good video. Great photos. I agree, I'm almost never taking my zooms out anymore.
Thanks man! Not going to lie, I've had my eye on a Sigma 100-400 recently... It's just hard for me to be inspired to take photos using zoom lenses!
gran video hermano..! yo tengo el lente kit de la a7c, y hace 1 mes compre el lente 50 mm 1.2 gm, y es cierto que aunque sea compacto, se me hace mucho más pesado y visible, y estaba pensando en adquirir 24mm 2.8 que es uno más pequeño y el 85mm 1.8, en fin gran video, sigue así..
Great video…I just got the a7c and am thinking of getting the 24mm G and the 50mm G. You are tempting me to get the 35mm though…
Thanks man! Highly recommend this 35mm. Still super compact and it’s the perfect medium focal range the have. Especially with the larger aperture if you need to let some extra light in!
Ooof I came for the videography, but stayed for the man 😍 🥵
Great video! Any chance you could drop a link for your strap?
Here you go! :)

I actually like using both zoom and prime lenses
I'm pleased I influenced this video 😂😃🙂
This video wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for you 😂
would you try the sigma 35mm f2? im considering it to pair with my a7c
A friend of mine uses the A7C with the Sigma 35 f2! Definitely a killer combo that I loved trying out. That lens feels like it was meant for the A7C.
As my old professor used to say, “don’t zoom your lens, zoom your ass”
Wow I wish I had known this phrase before I made the video
@@DylanBlackburn I have literally told you this before LOL
Do you really need both the 20 and 24?
Both serve very different purposes in my kit!
@@DylanBlackburn ok i went ahead and got the 24mm 2.8 for my a6100 👍🏼 for street
i take out the 20mm on my a7c only for when i shoot landscape/astro

Not easy but the end result is worth it!
"Cuz its compact and fulfills that analog street photography feeling and it vibes with my hipster aesthetics"
Lmaooo. Maybe deep down you’re right? 😂
why there are no people at all what time is it when you shot
Haha good question! I shot this between 5:45 AM and 7:30 AM.

Not anymore. See a7c II 😉
How come there are NO PEOPLE in the streets. Is it your PRIVATE city ? :)
Sunday mornings at 6 AM are the time to go out and shoot around here apparently 😂
Great idea! I did miss the introduction. Will do in my city sometime.

i dont use fix lenses, because of only 1 reason ------> $$$$
I am only using my kit lens lol
If it works for you then it’s not a problem!
handsome
Thanks 😂
