i have the 28mm 2.8 for rf mount, but i have an apsc body camera, and i can not find any advice about this topic, because my lens has a different focal distance for real

Fantastic video! Probably the best I’ve seen yet on field of view and street photography. I’m actually coming away from this video with meaningful tips to app,y to my photography! Well done, sir!

I bought a 40mm on an aps-c system which is 60mm. Think 60mm has less versatility?

Thanks for that help! How do you think this weaves into designing physical products?

I know this is an old video, so I hope you see this. I LOVE that you’re using a 4:3 aspect ratio!! I basically only watch videos on my iPad, and it’s just a lot more immersive. Can’t wait to see the rest of your vids!

Pentax solved it with the 31 and 43 🎉

Enjoy the passion you show with the art. I've come back to photography after a few years thanks to Instant film. I took out my X-mas gift from 1970 (Polaroid Super Colorpack) and fired off a priceless frame (my stock of FP film is starting to go away) and the image brought back the love! I have the same camera and it is quickly becoming my favorite. Keep up the love!

24mp... Meh... I'm still shooting with a trio of "ancient" 16mp X-E2's... printing up to 13x19 archival color ink prints... It's not the tool, it's the operator

This lens get bad reviews but I picked one up for a bargain in South Africa 🇿🇦 and I must say it works very well on the older Fuji sensors. It’s glued to my X-T1.

After watching this review a dozen times I guess it’s time…

great video

Hi Doriyan, I have just been admiring your beautiful and considered use of language. You have a wonderful rhythm. I also liked your idea of 35mm giving equal respect to subject and environment. I hadn’t heard that before and I find it a really useful model. Keep up the great work.

Are there specific film simulations that you like best for white, black or Asian skin types? I ask in all seriousness because I don’t think a one size fits all approach to color works with all skin types. Thank you.

This lens reminds me of my 56mm Nikon lens that I use on my Nikon d850. Expensive, big and not the sharpest but wow the pictures can look fantastic.

Thank you for the photo examples with the artist cited. These examples gave me some new people to take a look at. Winnogrand’s work has the worlds best vibe - there is a lot of joy in his pictures.

Those heavy lenses tend to = the camera stays home. Lightweight equipment = the camera gets used.

The KamLan 28mm f/1.4 provides similar ergonomics, build, and optical quality for less than $100 U.S. And in most respects, the Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 AF beats them all, though at a steep cost in size, weight, and purchase price.

Whats your recommendation if you wanna do street photography but also portraits?

As someone with social anxiety, i found 40mm to be the best combination of 35 & 50

I know the 50 is a bit boring but it’s nostalgic for me. When I was 13, I was lucky to be gifted a Nikon FE film camera with the 50mm and I learned to see through that lens. Later, I got a 28mm and with those two lenses, I could capture just about anything. Ironically now I shoot headshots so I use the 85 most of all. Lol.

I just got a Nikon Zf with a tiny 40mm f2 and it’s quickly become my favorite focal length! Gonna get a 28 next, as I don’t have a wide angle and just saw your video on the 28. Great. Also, Gary Winogrand may be my favorite street photographer and he almost exclusively used the 28mm.

I love my X100V specifically because of the 35mm focal length (23 on crop). I just got a Nikon Zf and the 40mm f2 and the 40 is brilliant! Little closer to subject that 35 but not as pushed in as a 50. Great video!

How did I miss a DC video drop?!

Why is nobody talking about the image stabilization in this lens?!

What film simulation did you use at 29 seconds of this video ? I really like it

So 24 is environmental and 35 is subject and background and 75 is isolated like portraits?

I have a hard time with composition 😢❤

What does “equal to what our eyes sees” actually mean? Our eyes have really wide angles, close to 180 degrees. That’s very far from what a 35mm or 50mm gives you. I’m just confused why this comparison keeps coming up among photographers. Anyway, nice video and nicely argued reasons for 35mm.

New subscriber here, great content great channel keep it coming bro 💯

SUCH A GREAT VIDEO! Short, to the point and lots of (great) photos to visualize your words

That was a wonderful video presentation. That was the first time anyone has ever adequately. explained the actual concept of using a 35 mm lens in a manner that I can understand. Thank you so much 😊

I like the 18-55mm .

Happy holidays and all the best to you kiddo ✌️

I always want to love the 50mm but the 35mm is just my true love. It’s the lens for everything for me and never stays home. The 40mm is a very, very close 2nd.

Another very well made video/tutorial, I recently got the Fuji XF16-50 (for its internal zooming mechanism and because I wanted a new toy), and I find that on the street I’m mostly shooting between 23-35 mm (35-50 ff equivalent) focal length. Be well.

I picked up a Voightlander 35mm f1.4 Nokton Classic for Sony a year ago. I swore off 35mm lenses years ago but the deal was too good. It was hidden in a lot Canon EF lenses. In the end it cost me about $150 after selling the rest. And its amazing. I am a 28mm and 50ish shooter but love the 35 even though its MF. Great video Doriyan.

Doriyan, I am excited to share that I invested in the XF18mm 1.4. I am very excited because this is my sweet spot to My natural vision.😊

Great review as always. I Had this lens and is nice but the field of view is more like 32mm than 35mm. Do you prefer this one or the voightländer ? To me fuji must give a new 18mm f2 lens as soon as possible.

Fuji's F2s are great!

A gold star for anyone who understands all five media references ⭐

The 23mm was my first prime and, although I'm mostly out with my GR IIIx nowadays, I love this lens for the same reasons as you. Thank you very much for your video and I'll see you in the next one, too! :) Bdw. I truly enjoy your newsletter, it's really great work you put in there.

Which 23mm for fuji x would you recommend if I want something with more character?

Dorian posts, I click. But for real, I have been shooting with the XF 23/2 and the Voigt 23/1.2. Just depends on the day and how I want to engage with the camera. Good atuff

When not using the X-T4 with the XF16-50, I built my own X100V, I got an X-T1 with the XF23 f/2 and I'm a happy camper.

This lens remains almost permanently attached to my XT4. I think i need to get the square hood though! Will it help my photography? No... will it make me happy? Yes. Love the video.
