    35mm is my absolute favorite focal length. It's so versatile and you can really have a lot of fun with it.
    Great video dude! Keep them coming

    Feel the same way dude. Was getting a bit bored with the 85 and ended up loving the 35. Some great shots in here too bud.

      Thanks my man! The 85 to 35 pipeline in street photography seems pretty common haha

    Nice video 🙏 also a big fan of 35 :) my favorite!
    Just shot a beach wedding entirely with a 50 and that felt like a great compromise in that setting. Look forward to more vids :)

    • @matsefcik
      @matsefcik  3 місяці тому

      Thanks Jason! 50 would definitely feel like a compromise in that scenario haha

    yo funny b/c i mess around with the 27 on occasion & it definitely makes me adjust how i’m composing my shots….that said i can’t front i’m still an 85mm devotee😅…but i love 50 for my film work…really nice frames in these fam, loving the way you’re putting these vids together 👊🏼✨

    • @matsefcik
      @matsefcik  3 місяці тому +1

      Haha thanks my man, your style definitely bodes well with that 85 🤌🏻 I need a 50 for my Sony, gotta be my next purchase

    in my case i'm going from 28mm to 35mm and even tho it's only a 7mm difference i did not expect it'd challenging af to compose lol, had to google 35mm focal length videos for inspos. thanks for the video and great images.

    • @matsefcik

      28 to 35 is a massive difference haha, I know exactly what you mean. Thanks for watching!

    35mm gang 🤜 dude I went through basically the same progression focal-length wise. And now I basically only use 35 and 50.. I think you’ll enjoy the 50 as well

    • @matsefcik

    You don't need to have a full frame camera in order to use a crop mode. X100V for example can do it too.

    • @matsefcik
      @matsefcik  2 місяці тому

      Even better, haven’t used an APSC camera in a while haha

    Bruh in about 2 weeks I'm also going to make a 1 year with the 35mm for street photography video haha. I had the same issue with 85mm, it felt so fun at the start because I didn't have to get close and then it became boring and restrictive. Now the 85mm is 90% used for car photography, portraits and events but other than that it sits there collecting dust.

    • @matsefcik
      @matsefcik  3 місяці тому +1

      I feel you, my style has changed since I last used my 85 so I wanna throw it back in the rotation here and there but gonna be hard to take the 35 off haha

    • @demiqshots
      @demiqshots 3 місяці тому

      @@matsefcik yeah every time I put the 85 on I barely shoot anything because I don’t see anything that works 😂

    awesome video. Currently been wanting a 35mm lens with my sony camera. Did you use an ND filter for any of these shots/vidoes?

    • @matsefcik
      @matsefcik  8 днів тому

      I use an ND filter for video since I filmed in SLG3 which has a base iso of 800. If I have to quickly switch to photo without getting a chance to take off the ND filter, I’ll adjust setting accordingly. But I usually never shoot photos with an ND

  • @jaredcollins-photo
    @jaredcollins-photo 3 місяці тому

    I do love a 35mm lens, but I think if I had to pick just 1, it'd be 50mm. I just think 50mm is the perfect middle ground between the 35mm and the 85mm focal lengths

    • @matsefcik
      @matsefcik  3 місяці тому

      I need to grab a 50! I feel like I’d be a bit more comfortable with a 50 over an 85 at this point

    • @matsefcik
      @matsefcik  3 місяці тому

      Nice! I wanted to grab a 40 but it’s too close to 35 to justify spending the money, but 28 is a tough length. Enjoy them!

    On the giveaway(I know i am late). But: Why don’t you allow non us residents to apply, but us pay the additional shipping charge. (Via paypal or something) Happens so often with US based creators a bit frustrating.
