Two lenses that I think would be fun and challenging to try in this way (and which I've intended to use more often) would be the XF90mm F/2 and XF14mm F/2.8 (eq. ranges being: 137mm and 21mm).
I like the 24mm, 50mm is great too but sometimes you want to see what's going on in the environment and not have it be out of focus to the point where it's just blurry. 24mm does a good job of retaining clarity for certain scenarios.
The not-so-hidden secret about shooting prime lenses with a Sony full-frame camera (and maybe others) is that you also have Super 35 mode which essentially gives you two focal lengths! With my 28mm f2, I basically also have a 50mm lens and it has helped me to get certain shots a number of times!
A prime lens historically will be sharper, and with a larger aperture and allows better low-light shots. It's a matter of taste, depending on what kinds of photos you like to take.
Currently I'm using Loxia 21mm only in my street photography. So, this would be my 7 days challenge lens. Eventually, I would like to try the Sony 24mm. I don't think that 24mm is too wide. It just depends on what your intent is. I like having a context around my main subject and to show the main subject in relation e.g. of large buildings. I also put a strong emphasis on leading lines. And wide angle lenses are great for leading lines. Wide angle lenses are also great for zone focussing thanks to the immense depth of field. You hardly get your subject out of focus even with a manual lens such as the Loxia 21mm.
Thanks for the video. I spent the entire summer using a 20mm (not a 24mm) for street photography in South Korea. I have to admit it is very challenging at times to use it. When i was full of energy and felt like interacting with people the photos came out great and quite engaging, but there were many moments when i wished i had a longer lens (35mm or 50mm) because i simply wasn't in the mood of getting in so close( you also get tired of people's reactions when you try to stick a lens in their face:). Also making a nice composition with a lens this wide isn't easy at all because so much is in the frame. For me it is very useful at times to have when the mood strikes, but as an everyday general street photography lens, if i could only go for one it would be a 35mm (just about perfect balance).
Hey Peter! I can relate to what you say! Thanks for sharing. Have a great day :) ps: new video just dropped! ua-cam.com/video/VitgJyYaMTo/v-deo.html - Enjoy!
Over the decades, I tried 21, 24, 28, 35, 40, 45, 50, and 55mm lenses in one-lens/one-body situations. All worked well. For the 24mm focal length, I used a 24mm f/2 Nikkor prime or a 20-35mm f/2.8 Nikkor zoom.
Well, in my young days a traveled the USA with a 50/1,7 and a 24/2.8 on my trusty Minolta SRT 101. Today I'm on Leica M240 and for a 7 days challenge I would choose the 50 mm. I'm so used to it as daily shooter. It's very conservative, I know. My second camera was a Braun with a 40 and a 85 mm screw on lens from Schneider; also a nice combo.
to answer your question I would definitely pick up the 24mm to challenge myself during street photography. I recently played with it and it was a challenge for me because 24mm is so wide compared to the 35 or 50. Like you said 24mm forced me to get closer to my subject it forced me to develop my story of the scene. thank you for sharing this video. I would love to get this lens for vlogging as well because is super small is like a baby 85 gm just way lighter lol.
I do a 70-200mm on a film camera and smartphone challenge now. It's quite interesting because one is the opposite of the other. The Pixel XL is dope in low light, has wide angle, high burst rate and is super clean. Kodak Gold 200 with a 4.5-5.6 only works in bright situations. It's quite long, slow and dirty.
I do street photography carrying 2 cameras, x100s+wcl (28mm) and a x-t1+35mmf2 (~50mm). I can shoot 99% of the shoots with this combo. Just great!!... as challenge I would take a 85 or 135mm to see what happen xD
I've loved wide-angle photography for decades, and decades ago 24mm f/2.0 Canon FDn was my main lens for photo-journalism, but a 24mm f/1.4 was always my dream lens as it would do just as you say, put subjects in dramatic perspective but yet isolating them from the many elements and clutter a 24mm brings into the frame. 24-70mm f/2.8 is my favourite for street photography and most shots of people and places. But if I had only one focal length for street photography, 40mm on a full frame would likely be it, as when I shoot Street photography with the 24-70mm I find most of my people on the street shots are at 40mm and 60mm, with perspective and dramatic shots of places and things at 24mm. Kai Wong did a video about 40mm and street photography and he echoes my sentiments about 40mm closely.
Honestly, Prime lenses are the best. I'd much rather replace all my zoom lenses with prime lenses in a 7-day challenge. 24, 40, 50. I'm a run and gun/on my feet type of photographer/videographer.
Great video! I have 50mm 1.4 and a 16-35 2.8. I’m undecided on whether to get a fast 24, 28 or 35 next. For street photography i like to go out with just one lens and force myself to work the with focal length at hand. 50mm doesn’t give me as much context as I’d like, and i miss a lot when shooting from the hip, but it is fast and i get good separation. I’d like something faster than the 16-35 2.8 for better separation, and also because its bulky.
OK I might be speaking from a Sony perspective. But the 24 is a sweet lens to have. Because if I’m using it on my a 7R3 I can always put it in APC mode and have a 36 mm. And if I have it on my a 6500 , which would be actually 36mm , I can always use my clear image zoom to get in closer for my shots. . So yes I would choose my 24 mm 1.4 GM . 😉
I love your cheerfulness in your videos! 🤩 You always put me in a better mood ☺️ I wanted to ask that what do you use as a screen with your Sony camera when you’re shooting talking head videos? As you’re constantly travelling I’d assume that you don’t carry a huge external monitor with you all the time 😃
I just bought the 24mm Samyang 1.8. Incredible 227 grams, fastest AF, 19 cm nearest focal distance( marvelous)and yesterday I went on tour in the street…and I had 100% the same problems that you explain as the bad sides of the 24mm. All people are like small ants in the pictures. Great video! Thanks!!!!!
Im using the 24mm f/1.4 GM on my a7R IIIa. If I want 35mm i can use crop-mode and still get 18 MP pics.. alternatively I just crop in post. The GM is super sharp, so its a breeze cropping in :)
I use a G1X while I ride my motorcycle all over the place. I'm more of a landscape photographer, I even shoot cities and buildings like they were landscapes, so people will normally look tiny. The G1X has a 15-45mm lens, 24-70mm equivalent in full frame. But 99% of my shots are at the widest angle possible. So it's a focal length I know quite well. Maybe someday I till try street photography, but I guess I would be too shy even zoomed in from afar, people notice you are pointing the camera at them.
I shoot with a 28mm 1.8.... It's great 95% of the time... although at times vertical lines can be distorted on the right or left edges. Never used a 24mm.... I would think that there may be barrel / fisheye distortion tendencies there as well. Careful out there.
Awesome! I love either the Fujifilm XF16mm 1.4 or XF56mm f1.2 for street photography. Strangely I find the XF23mm f1.4 less enjoyable for my personal street photography.
If I was going to challenge myself with just one prime lens for street photography, I'd go with a telephoto lens and see what kind of sniper shots i could get
I was encouraged to get the Fuji 18mm (24mm equivalent) but went for the 33mm (50mm equivalent) instead. I just don't like the way that the 24mm equivalent makes the background look like it's being stretched away from you. It feels almost gimmicky and makes the lens 'part of the story' too much for me, although I'll admit it gives photos a lovely dynamism. But we'll see if I find the 50mm equivalent too restrictive for London's busy streets, and if its 'as the eye sees it' results feel too lifeless. I've been using my 16-55mm (24mm-84mm equivalent) for two years and know I often gravitate towards the mid-range.
Nice episode Pierre, I personally love wide angle lenses because i love getting really close to my subjects. I have never tried with a 24 though but with a 28. Also your footage was so crisp, the colors were just amazing and super clean!
I have canon eos m10 mirrorless camera, but as a student and beginner in photography, which lens that's recommended for a fashion brand photography, I don't want to lose my money for a not recommended lens because it's my job now. thank you, love your videos 👍👍
I've been mainly using the Sigma 16mm, but with the 1.5 crop it's a 24mm. I don't think it's too wide for street photography ....I'm usually walking amongst the subjects so I'm not far away. Also, I love using the distortion and bokeh (it's a f1.4) to get crazy effects .... like having my subject holding something towards the lens and focusing on their hands.
I’m shooting street with a FujiX70 with a 18,5mm which should a bit tighter than 24mm but that’s also a focal length inspiring you to get close. I enjoy both closeups and nice wide shots of buildings and all. I love this little camera so much that I still haven’t really tested the Sony A7III with the 35mm Samyang 2.8 (Sean Tucker anyone?) in the street.
I just got my copy this weekend! one tip is to assign custom key to switch from 24mm to 35mm using the the super35Mode. I love this lens and plan to use it for street photography. Can you please let me know which cam bag your are using on this video? Merci beaucoup 👍👍
I wasn't interested in that particular lens at all. I was rambling around "24mm just looks like a phone shot". But yesterday I testet one my own and actually was blown away.... very entertaining and well done video
I love the look of 24mm but it's sooo hard to do it right and get in close. (Great photo at 2.55 mins) I tend to stay in my comfort zone on the street with either 35mm or 50mm.
Saw a really cool shot by someone from inside a taxi in an Indian city. It was a 35mm lens. Visited India and Nepal with a just that one lens. Moved my feet, a lot and came back with some great images.
My phone has a 16mm wide lens, 24mm main lens, and a telefoto lens that can change from 70mm to 105 mm its a sony xperia 1 iii and its so much better then the iphone 13 pro max that i had
As I frequently use the sigma 30mm f1.4, that wouldn't count as a challenge so... yeah, maybe the 24mm you used would push my creativity to the edge, that's the one I'd take! Love your videos :)
for street on the sony the 28mm f2 is an absolute steal of a price, I personally think that street needs to be shot at less than 35mm as it makes draws the viewer in IMHO
That Raw footage was like a animal hunting footage XDDDDDDDDDDDDD but Great JOB!!! i realiza how to interact with people from this kind of perspective. please do make more raw footage like this !!!! Love you SO mucH!
Been following you for a while now! Still can't understand why you arent growing quicker tbh, not that its all about numbers but you always deliver high quality content. Keep it up man
If we are talking about smartphones I heard that a wide angle lens is between 25mm to 35mm...is this correct? And anything lower than 25mm is considered "ultrawide"? Please advice. thanks.
Thank very much ! I do have a question ! i want to buy one lens for Street Photography Pierre, but i am confus can you recommend me the sigma 16, mm f/.4. or sigma 35mm f/1.4. or sigma 24mm 1.4. ! i love street country citys photography, thank you very much! i love your videos an i learn about it THANK YOU1
Amazing video Pierre!! I love to recognize the places where this video was shot! Lanzarote and its people are amazing. To be honest, for me it would be difficult to approach the people with a wide lens hahaha. Keep enjoying!!
24 or 35mm lens for an island. As smartphones now have 24-26mm prime lens people will be more used to wider angle. 50mm will soon be perceived as too narrow 😉
I see a lot of 24 or 35 answers. For me on my Sony a7r3 I take the 28mm f2. With apsc mode I get 34mm and in the normal FF mode I get 28mm . Best of both words. But I really like 28mm on FF. And at F2 I can get enough blur and low light for most situations and the lens is not really expensive.
i'm planning to get the fuji 16mm f2.8 which is releasing next year,,,, i've sold the 16mm f1.4 because it was too big (for me) and i found myself never really using f1.4 on streets... after this vid i'm getting confused ,, i still love the 24mm eqiv fov
I think 24mm is too wide for street cz u have to intrude someone privacy by getting too close, 35mm will be more convenient. i use mostly 24mm for potrait, indoor, coffee shop, product and landscape. The dramatic perspective is really appealing
I switched three days ago from my ZEISS 35mm to the 24mm GM. At first I was like: "Oh shit! What the f*ck did I just do?!" because I use always just one lens on my system and it looked so strange at first. But for now, I think this was one of the best decisions I just did. Everything I shoot gets way more story in it, even portraiture isn't really an issue, it's possible but you have to go very close. You can shoot like on your iPhone (hope you know what I mean, I love those kind of personal shots) but with that feel and look of a professional gear, this changes a lot because it's way more possible to do a kind of photography which I couldn't with the focal length of 35mm.
What lens would you go on 7 DAYS challenge with?! Also... 24mm too wide for you or not?! :)

Helios 44-2 F/2.0 58mm
85mm 1.4 for sure
Not that wide for me because I shoot with a crop censor haha
50 mm 1.8
Two lenses that I think would be fun and challenging to try in this way (and which I've intended to use more often) would be the XF90mm F/2 and XF14mm F/2.8 (eq. ranges being: 137mm and 21mm).

Oh yeah thanks Jacob!! The super 35 is super practical hehe!!
24 mm is a bit wide, but it can work in tight Asian cities with narrow alleys. I think I'd go with a 35 mm as an only lens though.
true narrow alley or confined space is ideal for it!
true
The 24mm is good. But if I have budget only for one lens would you recommend 16-35mm gm or 24mm gm?
Heya! I think the new video will help you! enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/P_UbgdhcY7Q/v-deo.html
A prime lens historically will be sharper, and with a larger aperture and allows better low-light shots. It's a matter of taste, depending on what kinds of photos you like to take.

Peter Wydmuch 35mm is the ultimate lens for street photography. I sometimes feel that 24mm is too wide.
Over the decades, I tried 21, 24, 28, 35, 40, 45, 50, and 55mm lenses in one-lens/one-body situations. All worked well.
For the 24mm focal length, I used a 24mm f/2 Nikkor prime or a 20-35mm f/2.8 Nikkor zoom.
Well, in my young days a traveled the USA with a 50/1,7 and a 24/2.8 on my trusty Minolta SRT 101. Today I'm on Leica M240 and for a 7 days challenge I would choose the 50 mm. I'm so used to it as daily shooter. It's very conservative, I know. My second camera was a Braun with a 40 and a 85 mm screw on lens from Schneider; also a nice combo.
Nice gear Paul! 50+24 must have been fun :)

Thanks Ramon! :) yes great for vlogs with that size - especially at night!
See you in NYC !
@@Pierretlambert 0_0!!! so you are coming ohh snap looking forward to meeting you bro. great captures. Will you be buying the 24mm lens?
I do a 70-200mm on a film camera and smartphone challenge now. It's quite interesting because one is the opposite of the other.
The Pixel XL is dope in low light, has wide angle, high burst rate and is super clean.
Kodak Gold 200 with a 4.5-5.6 only works in bright situations. It's quite long, slow and dirty.
Oh nice! Yeah the Pixel is really nice :o
How's the challenge going?!
ps: new video is out! ua-cam.com/video/7yaFEFI5MGk/v-deo.html enjoy!!
My favourite prime-lens for travelling was the Nikon 20mm. Now I use the Sigma 10-20 (DX), that means 15-30mm.
:)
I do street photography carrying 2 cameras, x100s+wcl (28mm) and a x-t1+35mmf2 (~50mm). I can shoot 99% of the shoots with this combo. Just great!!... as challenge I would take a 85 or 135mm to see what happen xD
That’s good!!! I’d do one camera at 24 and one at 85 😉
I've loved wide-angle photography for decades, and decades ago 24mm f/2.0 Canon FDn was my main lens for photo-journalism, but a 24mm f/1.4 was always my dream lens as it would do just as you say, put subjects in dramatic perspective but yet isolating them from the many elements and clutter a 24mm brings into the frame.

Thanks Neil for sharing :)
I like the Canon 24 2.8 for street photography, but on an aps-c camera, and not for full frame. For FF, I’d go with a 35mm.
Yeah it's wide on FF!!!
Honestly, Prime lenses are the best. I'd much rather replace all my zoom lenses with prime lenses in a 7-day challenge. 24, 40, 50. I'm a run and gun/on my feet type of photographer/videographer.
Great video! I have 50mm 1.4 and a 16-35 2.8. I’m undecided on whether to get a fast 24, 28 or 35 next.

I’d like something faster than the 16-35 2.8 for better separation, and also because its bulky.
I find the zoom ring is so easy to knock too lol on the 2.8 gm
I prefer my Sony 55-210mm zoom lens, which I use all the time. But, when I have shot wide-angle, I use my 16mm, sometimes 24mm.
OK I might be speaking from a Sony perspective. But the 24 is a sweet lens to have. Because if I’m using it on my a 7R3 I can always put it in APC mode and have a 36 mm. And if I have it on my a 6500 , which would be actually 36mm , I can always use my clear image zoom to get in closer for my shots. . So yes I would choose my 24 mm 1.4 GM . 😉
True!! It’s a good trick ;-)
Love shooting wide for street, but if I only had to use one , I would say 50mm 1.8....i just think it gives lots of options
Good choice yes!
I love your cheerfulness in your videos! 🤩 You always put me in a better mood ☺️ I wanted to ask that what do you use as a screen with your Sony camera when you’re shooting talking head videos?

I saw your work with Manny Ortiz and you're amazing at your craft! Keep going!
Im using the 24mm f/1.4 GM on my a7R IIIa. If I want 35mm i can use crop-mode and still get 18 MP pics.. alternatively I just crop in post. The GM is super sharp, so its a breeze cropping in :)
I love a 35mm. or a 50mm. lens for Street Photography .....
Great focal lengths yes!
Jess Demant Aggeboe yes! A 16-35 & a 50! Perfect!!
I use a G1X while I ride my motorcycle all over the place. I'm more of a landscape photographer, I even shoot cities and buildings like they were landscapes, so people will normally look tiny.

Hmm.. you have a 16-35 and 70-200. Seems like a natural choice would be a 50mm. Or the 55mm or new Batis 40mm.
Yes :)
i use the 16-35 f4 is on my 1dxmkii, i also use it on my ronin s, now im saving for the 24-70 28
Awesome! I love either the Fujifilm XF16mm 1.4 or XF56mm f1.2 for street photography. Strangely I find the XF23mm f1.4 less enjoyable for my personal street photography.
Oh yeah the 23 might be a bit tight!
If I was going to challenge myself with just one prime lens for street photography, I'd go with a telephoto lens and see what kind of sniper shots i could get
Fun!
24mm and 90mm 2.8 (macro & portrait) both Sony is all I need.
Good choice!
Pierre your composition for street photography is so awesome 😍 I really want the 24mm f1.4 GM lens 👍
Thank you Joseph!! :)
I’m sold. Im getting one! Alot of creative shots can be done with a 24mm - specially this one! Zeiss..
Dude your video quality and editing is like actual pro level.
Just bought a Canon 24mm 2.8 for travel and street photography but also for landscapes, so this video has given me new ideas. Thanks
Awesome! Crush it Brian ;-)
Pierre T. Lambert I rarely had it off my camera
Your videos are the perfect combo of great quality and great content
Thanks Andrew!! :-)
Excellent video and lots of ideas for me to try out. Thanks Pierre.

yeah 1.4.... crazy bokeh!
Lol I love the one guys comment, you shouldn't have to chase your subject 🤣🤣 Cracking up after the outtakes!!
Haha 😂
I’m shooting street with a FujiX70 with a 18,5mm which should a bit tighter than 24mm but that’s also a focal length inspiring you to get close. I enjoy both closeups and nice wide shots of buildings and all.

Oh yeah Sean loves his 35!!
Man, you have just sold this lens to a thousand people.
😆 you think so? I should have built it myself then - The PTL 24mm series :-D
"The problem you have but it's not really a problem." Hahaha.
Thank for sharing.. Please share more about street photography...
Thanks Pay I will :)
3:11 Is this 24mm f/1.4 on Full frame camera? I see no vignetting. It's probably because of 1.2x crop factor in video
I love 24mm focal. I would do 7 day 24.
:)
That lens is so beautiful :)
no you two are! ;)
I just got my copy this weekend! one tip is to assign custom key to switch from 24mm to 35mm using the the super35Mode. I love this lens and plan to use it for street photography. Can you please let me know which cam bag your are using on this video? Merci beaucoup 👍👍
I wasn't interested in that particular lens at all. I was rambling around "24mm just looks like a phone shot". But yesterday I testet one my own and actually was blown away.... very entertaining and well done video
Thanks Thomas!! Yes it's really nice to shoot with it! :)
ps: new video is out! ua-cam.com/video/7yaFEFI5MGk/v-deo.html enjoy!!
Great review 👍 24 mm is just too wide in my personal opinion and from my experience..I ordered the new 35gm.
Your channel is the best...salutes from Puerto Rico!!!!!!
Thank you!!! /)
I love the look of 24mm but it's sooo hard to do it right and get in close. (Great photo at 2.55 mins) I tend to stay in my comfort zone on the street with either 35mm or 50mm.
Yes it’s a bit wide! :)
Saw a really cool shot by someone from inside a taxi in an Indian city. It was a 35mm lens. Visited India and Nepal with a just that one lens. Moved my feet, a lot and came back with some great images.
That's awesome! Yes 35mm is great. Isn't India amazing for photography? :)
The 24mm is great for street photography. It isn’t great if you just shove it into random people’s faces though. That’s just cheesy.
Great at showing me the artistic side of shooting with a 24mm f1.4...thank you
I am really learning a lot from ur videos..thanks...i saw some tips here how to use 24mm...
I mainly shoot film. I always take along my Nikon F3 with 50/1.4
My phone has a 16mm wide lens, 24mm main lens, and a telefoto lens that can change from 70mm to 105 mm its a sony xperia 1 iii and its so much better then the iphone 13 pro max that i had
As I frequently use the sigma 30mm f1.4, that wouldn't count as a challenge so... yeah, maybe the 24mm you used would push my creativity to the edge, that's the one I'd take! Love your videos :)
Thanks Zé!! :)

A more emotional contact with wide angle. Very enjoyable
I use a Leica 24mm 3.8 asph elmar ...
With a leica M7 M8 M-E ...
M8 is the only one with frame lines for 24mm ...
It's fine for street, yes. One only needs to get closer. Regards, Mark.
i love your shots and color grading too :)
Thank you!
Hai Pierre T. Lambert, I often use 55z for street portrait or street photography..
:-)
for street on the sony the 28mm f2 is an absolute steal of a price, I personally think that street needs to be shot at less than 35mm as it makes draws the viewer in IMHO
;-)
Great video --just got my 24mm --hate the squint buildings/ sloping walls in street photography .. so far the worst lens ive had ..
I use 24mm 1.4F in APSC Camera (sony a6100) . Looks like 36mm lens
For a challenge 24mm is an amazing focal length, another good challenge could be a prime like a 200mm 300mm or more ;)
Oh yeah that would be fun!
That Raw footage was like a animal hunting footage XDDDDDDDDDDDDD
but Great JOB!!! i realiza how to interact with people from this kind of perspective. please do make more raw footage like this !!!! Love you SO mucH!
Haha right?! :D
Thanks :)

I have been using 50mm f/1.8 on my canon crop sensor. But now with Fuji xt-2 23mmf/2 is best lens for streets,
Oh nice!
I would take the 24mm! I already did that when I went to Rome a shot all of it with my Minolta vintage 24mm f3.5... And I loved it!
Oh nice!! :)
ps: new video is out! ua-cam.com/video/7yaFEFI5MGk/v-deo.html enjoy!!
great can't wait to watch it:)
Been following you for a while now! Still can't understand why you arent growing quicker tbh, not that its all about numbers but you always deliver high quality content. Keep it up man
Thanks man! Lately has been a lot faster! Let’s hope it keeps up!!! :)
There's definetly something special about the 24mm. I dont know if it’s the AoV the resembles photojournalism style, but it somehow catches me.
Great video, I would take the Zeiss Distagon 2/35mm
oh must be fun!
Can you please share this video settings on the A7R3 with the 24mm 1.4?
If we are talking about smartphones I heard that a wide angle lens is between 25mm to 35mm...is this correct? And anything lower than 25mm is considered "ultrawide"? Please advice. thanks.
Thank very much ! I do have a question ! i want to buy one lens for Street Photography Pierre, but i am confus can you recommend me the sigma 16, mm f/.4. or sigma 35mm f/1.4. or sigma 24mm 1.4. ! i love street country citys photography, thank you very much! i love your videos an i learn about it THANK YOU1
Great tips! Great teacher!
The quality of this lens is incredible! But I can not decide between this one and the 16-35mm... Tough choice. Is it Betancuria? Caleta de Famara?
It's not far ;)
Yes great quality, maybe my new video will help decide! enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/P_UbgdhcY7Q/v-deo.html
Challenge lens would definitely be a nifty fifty considering im used to working a telephoto
No
Amazing video Pierre!! I love to recognize the places where this video was shot! Lanzarote and its people are amazing. To be honest, for me it would be difficult to approach the people with a wide lens hahaha. Keep enjoying!!
Thanks for your recommendations Rayco ;)
24 1.4 on the a7r4. 36mm super 35 at 26mp!
I would try the 100mm lens by canon for 7 days, I think it would be interesting
Oh yeah that would be indeed!!
24 or 35mm lens for an island. As smartphones now have 24-26mm prime lens people will be more used to wider angle. 50mm will soon be perceived as too narrow 😉
I see a lot of 24 or 35 answers. For me on my Sony a7r3 I take the 28mm f2. With apsc mode I get 34mm and in the normal FF mode I get 28mm . Best of both words. But I really like 28mm on FF. And at F2 I can get enough blur and low light for most situations and the lens is not really expensive.
Thanks! Yes heard it's a good option!
ps: new video just dropped - it's hilarious! Enjoy!! ua-cam.com/video/3KFtC0pqjZs/v-deo.html
i'm planning to get the fuji 16mm f2.8 which is releasing next year,,,, i've sold the 16mm f1.4 because it was too big (for me) and i found myself never really using f1.4 on streets... after this vid i'm getting confused ,, i still love the 24mm eqiv fov
Thanks! Yeah the bigger the less we use a lens!
The other problem is: if you get very close( like Water Klein) people starts to get really deformed if they are far from the center.
I think 24mm is too wide for street cz u have to intrude someone privacy by getting too close, 35mm will be more convenient. i use mostly 24mm for potrait, indoor, coffee shop, product and landscape. The dramatic perspective is really appealing
Great stuff Pierre. I use a Canon FD 24mm f/1.4L on my Sony A7Ii. It is a game changer.
Thanks Aristo!! Oh nice isn't it awesome?! :)
What do you think Panasonic LX100 II’s 24mm? Can it get this kind of color too? How about Leica CL? What 24mm Option available?
Never tried!
24mm on Apsc is equivalent to 36-38mm for full frame, so perfect for street photography in my opinion
:)
Lanzarote!
Nikon 35mm f1.8 would be my 7 day lens of choice
Good one!
I switched three days ago from my ZEISS 35mm to the 24mm GM. At first I was like: "Oh shit! What the f*ck did I just do?!" because I use always just one lens on my system and it looked so strange at first. But for now, I think this was one of the best decisions I just did. Everything I shoot gets way more story in it, even portraiture isn't really an issue, it's possible but you have to go very close. You can shoot like on your iPhone (hope you know what I mean, I love those kind of personal shots) but with that feel and look of a professional gear, this changes a lot because it's way more possible to do a kind of photography which I couldn't with the focal length of 35mm.
Yeah same reaction at first! haha :)
Just dropped the new video ua-cam.com/video/7yaFEFI5MGk/v-deo.html enjoy!!
I like your orange book bag. Is it a camera bag and where can I get the same one ?
