    Hey Roman, I've been watching every single one of your videos for around 2 years, and I'd like to take this time to say thanks and to let you know how much I enjoy your content, and how much I appreciate what you do!
    You have been inspiring me in so many ways that is hard to express it all in a single comment, and also teached me a lot :)
    I don't know what exactly felt different in this POV, but this is my favourite one so far, maybe as it felt more slow paced and also the way you talked about the places you were at, and explained your thought process while composing the shots as well, along with some vlogging, probably a combination of everything, but anyways, congrats for this video Roman! As I said, my favourite video of yours ever!
    Cheers!

    Something I have started to do with my photography is that I give myself a style for the day and then try my best to end up with 3 different photos with the same style and can see a clear connection between them. It has helped me learn how to come up with more creative composition of photos and how to photograph normal everyday things and make them seem special

    33mm f/1.4 R LM WR is the best XF lens FujiFilm makes IMHO. The sharpness and level of detail you can achieve with that lens and 40MP is mind boggling wonderful. 50mm FF is a fantastically versatile focal length. If I had to pick only one lens this would be it. It was nice seeing you walk around and shoot. I am looking forward to the rest of the series.

    Enjoyable video Roman. I've been dedicated to 28mm for so long until this past weekend in NYC and I shot 50mm equivalent the entire time. It was actually a lot of fun to force myself to do that. I haven't done that since my student days. I love seeing the two of you together btw!!

    One side benefit of the XH2 and XT5 is “sports finder mode,” which allows you to see outside the frame, but does 1.25x crop. It makes the 33 f1.4 act more like a 75mm lens when needed, and reduces file size a bit.

    Enjoyable video, lots of great still images. Nice to see James along. While I liked what you did say when talking us thru your setups, you didn’t give us a lot of specifics regarding the focal length limitations you were dealing with and how it drove particulars of compositions. This is more a showcase of what you accomplished with this lens (and your style) than a stream of consciousness about the equipment itself. Was that your intent?
    I started with a 50 over 50 years ago and still enjoy that perspective immensely. Nice to see it get recognition and I think it is a superb place to start a series.

    It was surely interesting to witness the struggle of searching for a photo moment. It’s forced most of the time, it’s a hunt with no prey in mind. There’s always sorrow in this process, and loss of meaning. But we have to go through it, in our own neighbourhood or multiple hours of flight away.

It beats Canon's EF 50mm F1.2 in every aspect while costing significantly less! It's as sharp as a well-honed straight razor when it comes to image quality, even in the corners it's just ridiculous how good this lens is. It's the one lens I would keep if I had to give up all my other lenses!

    I made the mistake (I jest) of getting books of 50mm photos by masters (Bresson, Doisneaux). As a result, I'm walking dozens of miles but barely taking any shots with my new 33mm (50mm equivalent) because I've become obsessed with perfect, almost photojournalistic moments! XD
    I'll be ok once I get back in my groove. A thing for me to remember is that perfect human moments in photography can be more like 'perfect split seconds', so I have to get really good at anticipating them. Training my technique and spider senses.
    As an aside, there's an awesome, complex boardgame called Lisboa that is worth a purchase if you fancy having your tactics stretched and have two or three likewise friends. It's about the rebuilding of Lisbon and by a fabulous Lisbon local - Vital Lacerda - who's done some of my favourite (always crunchy / skilful) boardgames.
