Why you should consider a Wide Angle Prime Lens

In this video I talk about my preference for wide angle lenses and why you should consider them for your everyday use and specifically for Documentary and Street photography.

Randomly popped up on my feed. Great video man 👍🔥

Great conversation. The bandit is loose.
There is a bandit in every one of us
nice set of shots! and btw, I have the exact same set up - minolta x-700 and 28mm, 50mm and 135mm lens 👌
@@mnltphts it’s a solid setup, I love how light the x700 body is!
I went to zone focus at the beginning of this year. I bought a 28mm around Christmas last year. It's not as easy to do with my 40mm. I shoot with a Nikon z6 II. I'll focus on a spot right in front of me or the wall of a building because there's no markings on the lens. I recently got back into film. I've bought 4 film SLR cameras. Two of them are Nikon so I only bought one 28mm to use on both. I bought a 28mm for the other two bodies. One is a Canon and the other is a Minolta. They all have the markings because they're all manual focus lenses. I'm not used to trusting the markings. With digital you can look at the screen at the back to check your focus but with film you don't know until you develop the film. I need to start carrying a notebook and take notes of what I do.
@@carlmcneill1139 Hi Carl! I know how hard it can be to try to do it with the autofocus lenses without a scale, especially those that are focus by wire and not controlled physically. It’s good you got some Nikon bodies though so you could use the FTZ to adapt the lenses to your z6 as well if you want! I agree that it can be a process to get comfortable with just using the distance scales and their is a small chance that something is off with the calibration so you might see issues but I think it’s unlikely that there would be a large enough error. Also if you have a DOF preview lever or button on your camera body you would be able to preview the focus at the shallower apertures too albeit at the cost of losing brightness in the viewfinder. I would say the best thing to do is to shoot some test rolls where you manually focus through the viewfinder and use zone focus on a few different shots and keep track of which is which and then compare afterwards. That way you can see how each performs for you and you can hopefully have a little more confidence in shooting with the scale alone. Hope this helps! Good luck
@saif9817 that's what I've been doing. I just haven't developed my film yet. We'll I've developed a roll of b&w. I have the kit for color but haven't tried it yet. I have some old rolls of film I'm going to test first before I develop my new rolls to make sure I'm doing it right. I just bought negative lab pro. I need to get it started.

great video, helped me a lot.👌 little hard to hear though
Glad it helped! Will definitely do better on the mix next time I think there are definitely some parts where the music is a little too loud so will make it quieter. For what it’s worth though I get different results based on what I watch it on so you could try it on some different audio outputs to see if one is better
0:31 your cat: "infrared capable?"👀
Ahaha yeah she was very surprised!
Interesting! It takes on a sort of hybrid look of expired Fujifilm Superia and Wolfen. I love how old fashioned it ends up looking at 100. Currently shooting through a roll set at 100 also and I can’t wait to see the results. Cheers!
@@KnobleKnives can’t say I’ve shot much of either expired Fujifilm or Wolfen but I have some of both in the fridge to get to for future videos so I’ll compare them when I do! Thanks for the input and good luck with your roll!!
بارك الله فيك اخي سيف رحمان how did you get these infrared beautiful photos did you remove the filter manually ? or was it difficult
@@amid_invests this camera has some ability to see IR on its own and I added a Hoya R72 filter to enhance the effect. As for the pictures they come out a little light pink but I just turned them into black and white Hope this helps!
welcome back to ottawa, looking forward to more videos!
Thanks man!
Thanks for having me on the show 😊
It was my pleasure!!

freindship with walkabout ended 🙅♀ talkabout is my new best friend 🫂 (JK still love walkabout but this was a cool change of pace!)
Is it time to pivot to only talks?? …….. stay tuned to find out!?!?!
It was also my favorite film. It was very cheap and had very nice colors. The new films from kodak etc look very gray and washed out in terms of colors.
@@dominikkarkowski I know how you feel, my go to after vista was Superia Xtra 400 but now they’re just repackaging ultramax for Fuji 400 :( Ultramax isn’t bad but I just shot some Lomography Color Negative 800 and I really liked how that looks so if you’re looking for something with that extra punch of saturation and contrast, I would recommend it!
looks like ultramax 🤔
@@Sysopx86 I’m quite certain that it is ultramax
Subscribed. More blessings to your channel 🙏
Thank you for the support!!
I love shooting 250D! With a friend, we bought a 100ft roll and was amazing. The only problem is that there are no local labs where I can develop, so I had to develop myself. Which is pretty smelly and the chemical doesn't last much. But if I had a lab that could develop ecn-2 for me, I would switch to them! Also, I found some pretty neat configurations from Negative Lab Pro to convert the negatives that work flawlessly!
Yeah I really liked it! I’m also quite pleased with how these turned out but I’d be interested to see your results and chat about NLP options!
Kodak doubleX is great stock!!
Haha alright I’ll add your vote to the double x side
Keep it up, brother.
Thank you!
I just finished shooting with a black and white disposable Ilford. I'm nervous about the view screen, whther it got the framing right and when I pressed the shutter a couple times I noticed the camera moved a little. I'm excited to see how it came out though.
nice video will have to look into the filter...
The hood is a 36mm push on hood. You can also get 36mm push on filter to 49mm step up ring and then you could put 49mm filter's and a 49mm threaded hood on it too. That's the cheapest way to go !
Thank you for the advice! I was actually able to find out the filter thread size and get a push on hood a few weeks ago! Although it helps the flaring issues, they’re still present so I’m thinking the best option may just be to hold my hand out over the lens when flaring is likely
Cherry blossom and peppers *chef kiss*
These probably some of the most vibrant colours ive seen in film photos, so dope
Haha thanks man, I can hook you up with a roll if you want to try it
So beautiful!!!
Very nice photos, I walk around and photograph very similar parts of Toronto to you!
Ooh cool! If you see me out there feel free to say hello or hmu if you want to shoot together!
YOO I BEEN TO THAT BETTER GIFT SHOP, fire video
nice shots brother!
Thank you!
How can reveal the negative of this ? I mean do I need chemicals to reveal the negative? I can’t find instructions for this I have the same camera
Hi! Yes you need chemicals to develop the pictures as this is a film camera. You can take it to a lab or purchase chemicals and equipment to develop it at home, this disposable is filled with a colour film that uses the C-41 process for developing. I should warn you that if you want to develop it yourself, you will need to break open the camera to get the film out and this can require a bit of force. The easier thing to do would be to take it to a lab or pharmacy that develops film.
Torontobout
is the nikon F50 possible to use manual lenses?
As far as I’m aware you can use most Nikon AI lenses but you will have to meter manually too. I don’t think non AI lenses work
@@saif9817 aa thanks alot.
Oh your photographs are awesome! You capture so much life, with and without people in them. You managed to capture well the serene busyness of the city too - definitely vibrant!
Thank you so much!
Y’all got me craving a chicken burger now😂😂
whoahhh your audio quality is so fire.. what are you using for it?
It’s the wireless mic for the Dji pocket 2, it’s likely quite similar if not the same as the standalone dji mic
I feel insulted you didn't take me along for all the free food!
I’m sorry but at least now I can take you to the good spot because I’ve done the research
Keep shooting. I'd work on your compositions. Good luck!
Hi Saif. I enjoyed the video. I have just ordered one of these on eBay last night so was looking to see if I had made a fair purchase at £35 or $50 delivered and as it is boxed with lots of accessories, I am reassured. I am a bit of a CCD fanboy actually and this is my 13th Olympus, 11 of which are Camedias. I have subscribed and look forward to future content.
Keep doing your thing man, keep growing and working on your craft, consistency is key and you already have a good on camera presence!
Thanks! Will do!
love the shots
Thank You!
Great video. Old point-and-shoot digicams are fun whenever you can buy them for $10 or less. The reasons I like older digicam (typically pre-2007) are: 1. they are often AA battery powered, which I see as an advantage rather than a disadvantage; two non-rechargeable AA's are cheap; two high-capacity rechargeable AAs will give you huge battery life; 2. they are often a little chunkier in build, which is easier to hold, even though less pocketable; 3. they often had viewfinders, which I think are indispensable to outdoor photography; 4. you can sometimes find them for sale for bargain prices; occasionally people will give them away; 5. even the budget cameras were made to a fairly good quality, because they were made with some residual attitude from the 1980s and 1990s that electronics were high-end consumer products, and not disposable goods to be replaced every couple of years; 6. most photos are only ever shared online or digitally; a 3MP to 5MP camera will produce an image file that is fairly small in size but more than adequate for viewing on the web, especially on a screen of a smartphone; 7. nostalgia; 8. many camera manufacturers have abandoned the unviable budget point-and-shoot camera market; all that's really left is the high-end prosumer and professional market.
You’ve got such a good eye!
Dope vid man ! I just got this camera can’t wait to try it out but I have a question, how do you get the pictures virtually? I wanna be able to post them online.
Thank you! When you get the film developed you can ask them to scan the photos so you get digital files
@@saif9817 gotcha! Thanks man
Very helpful, thank you! Also lovely photos :)
My Lc33 keeps showing that memory card error, even though I try to format it … it still doesn’t work
Are you using a small enough card? I'm not sure what the maximum capacity is for the camera but you need to use a very small SD card, something like 2GB probably
it cannot use SD HC cards only SD or normal micro sd but only the old ones you are using a to new card!
how get that photos into your laptop?
You have to scan your film or your prints
Thanks Saif, another interesting video. I like and use Superia and as you say Superia Premium didn't seem to show much of a difference. Slightly cold and a distinct greenish colour cast. Reminded me of old family pictures we have from the 60s... nice!
I spent some time looking at the pictures after the video and in my opinion there seems to be a much richer rendition of reds in the superia premium, I think the picture of the cap in the tree at 5:50 shows this well
Thank you for the video Saif, really interesting and some great shots. I have an old Olympus C-2000z with the same IR capability and it's amazing how what might be a boring photo comes to life with IR, especially where there are sunlit trees with a few clouds in a blue sky in the background - very dramatic. I just wonder why it was possible over 20 years ago to have a camera which could take both standard and IR photos, are there any modern cameras that do the same? Otherwise its a question of an expensive conversion to IR only.
