I know this is old, but it just popped up in my recommendations, so it is new to me. This video should be required viewing for anyone that thinks that you must drag around a big bag o' glass and spend time and effort swapping lenses to be effective as a photographer. One lens (can't do much better than the XF 35mm f/1.4), one camera and the only variable being the placement of the subjects in relation to the environment. Beautiful images.
This video was the reason why I bought that lens and I am so happy about that decision! But I have to say: Your colors are so so on point! I would really really love to get an insight in your workflow!
Hi Felix, thanks so much. I'm on holiday at the moment and it's the only lens I brought with me :-) I'm really glad you like the edits - I really must do something about those sometime. I do like adding grain.
@@ChrisBoland Hi Chris! Enjoy your holiday! I will try only bringing my 35mm next time I’m on holiday, great idea! I would really love it if you made a video showing how you edit. It’s more then just the grain, the contrast and the hues are just so on point, really love the edits!
@@ChrisBoland I bought the XS10! Went to the store with full intention of getting the T30ii but ergonomically it was way to small and felt like you had to pinch the camera to hold it. The XS10 is completely opposite. Feels so secure and proper in hand. Thank you again for your videos and advice.
Beautiful work Chris. My favourite lens and my (adopted) home town - a magic combination, and you and this lovely couple brought out the best of both. Thank you as always for sharing.
Thank you 🙂 I'll send you a link to the film ones. I used the same focal length in all the same spots as these, so there's not a great amount of variety between them - but there's definitely something a little more special about film, as you know.
@@ChrisBoland That would be great, thanks Chris :) And yes, there's definitely something charming about film. It's great that you're able to juggle multiple different cameras at once!
Loved it. Thanks for sharing Chris. My favourite lens. Rarely leaves my xe3. Bags of character. Great poses and photos. Particularly liked the B&W images 👌
As soon as you mentioned tri-x I actually though that all the B&W photos shown in the vid were tri-x! Personally loved the black and white photos and thank you for introducing me to the photos of Jane and Serge!
Thank you Atul. No, I don't think one focal length can completely replace another - I love the view of the 56 - although you're right in that the 90 is a fantastic choice for portraits.
I hope you will get a chance to compare this with the new XF33mm F1.4. I was comparing both lenses on Flickr, and while both are sharp enough for any of my photography, the 33mm just seemed "cleaner", it took me a long time to think of a description, but it almost seems as if it's distilled or filtered water "clear". I really like the aesthetics and weight of the 35mm, but there's just a little "more" in the 33mm that's missing on the 35mm. I'm a little torn deciding on the two. I'm pretty sure I won't "miss" anything with the 35mm, but there's just ever so slight doubt that I'll regret (I mean I could sell and buy them when I please, but it's just a nuance).
Hi Alan, thanks for the comment. I would love to try out the 33mm whenever I can. I usually prefer the smaller lenses and the 33 is bigger and no faster than the 35. I know what you mean about the cleanness - I think I've been seeing that look in the 18mm f1.4 lens that I've been using recently.
Thank you very much Elias. I use full frame Nikon SLRs for photographing weddings, but it's more about having the optical viewfinder than it being full frame.
@@ChrisBoland wow that’s interesting! Ever Since I transitioned to Canon R6 and Fuji mirrorless Bodies I found It hard going back to Optical viewfinder. Maybe because my eyesight is on the downhill? Haha who knows, But I think the real reason is because of the Face/eye detect on the mirrorless systems is such a breath of fresh air I really don’t need to worry about nailing focus so much anymore. Especially the Canon R6 I didn’t expect it to be better then my XT4.
@@eliaspap8708 How would you compare the R6 to the XT-4? I currently have the XT-4 and still sometimes crave that full frame depth of field. But videos like this make me feel good with my current setup!
@@Johnatlanticism the R6 has a bit better eye/face detect AF, it just seems to stick better, but apart from that the only main difference is the obvious, the sensor size and all the science that comes with that regarding depth of field. Also I find The Xt4 more intuitive when it comes to ergonomics and more flexible in customizing your dials, buttons and evf preferences to the R6, Both give amazing files, note i use capture one. dynamic range is pretty much even. The R6 will give you slightly better low noise performance. I still prefer using the Fuji but the canon gives me a certain full frame look when using wider lenses especially the 35mm angle of view. Basically i use full frame on a 35mm and 24-70 mm f2.8 zoom and Fuji on the longer lenses 56mmf1.2, 90mmf2, 50-140mm f2.8 and I also use the 16mm f1.4 great lens. I don’t think u can go wrong with either cameras.
Chris excellent selection of photographs. Love them.
Thank you!
@@ChrisBolandHave a blessed week dear man

Thanks very much Albert, that's really kind. I think when you keep things simple you really free up some space in your mind to be more creative.
Very good indeed as it does not look artificial, the story telling works. Wonderful, it is like watching a silent movie.
Thank you very much Roda.
Amazing portraits, Chris. Those black and whites are so good. Love the contrast.
Thanks so much John! 👍
Beautiful pictures.. I want one😛😛35mmf1.4
Thanks very much Imaan 🙂🙂

Excellent.
Many thanks!
Another masterpiece video. You’re really making me want to make this my first Fuji prime lens purchase.
Thank you Frank, that's really kind. You'll certainly enjoy the lens.

That was quick work Frank! I've seen that camera in the local store and it does seem nice - IBIS and a proper grip! 🙂
@@ChrisBoland well with no camera in possession you feel naked. I had to get me some clothes.
🙂
A lovely collection, and a great great insight into your process on the day. Thanks, Chris.
Thank you Keith 👍
Lovely couple and great lens and superb shots!!!!! well done!!!!! Can’t wait to see the film shots and how the compare!!!!
Thank you very much Alan!

Thanks very much Sam. That's great you're from Cambridge - I think everyone else who follows the channel is miles away 🙂
Hi Chris,thank you for sharing thiese amazing photographs with us...
Thank you very much Fred, I'm really glad you like the pictures.
This is so beautiful bro
Thank you Ratu 👊🙂
Love these pictures. It's clear that Patricia and Michael felt really comfortable with you. Can't wait to see the other pictures from the shoot!

Always amazing and inspiring bro. Love the pictures and storytelling.
Thanks so much Daniel, I really appreciate the encouragement 👊
So many beautiful and inspiring photos and a nice storytelling. Like always ;-) Thanks for sharing, Chris :-)
Cheers Christian! I hope you're well.
@@ChrisBoland Thanks. I'm fine. I hope you too 🙂
Loved it. Thanks for sharing Chris. My favourite lens. Rarely leaves my xe3. Bags of character. Great poses and photos. Particularly liked the B&W images 👌
Thanks very much indeed. The XE3 is a really lovely camera - much smaller and lighter than the XT4. Thanks again for watching.
Lovely images Chris 👏👏👏
Cheers Matt. Thank you! 👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing! I particularly loved the shot @2:13
Thank you TJ!

Thank you Steven! I would post a video of the film pictures, but they are all kind of similar to these 🙂 Thanks again.
Excellent video Chris..❤️
With 35f1.4 & 90f2 at both ends, do you think 56f1.2 has become more of redundant..?
Thank you Atul. No, I don't think one focal length can completely replace another - I love the view of the 56 - although you're right in that the 90 is a fantastic choice for portraits.

Fabulous shots and color. Did you edit raw? was it jpeg out of camera?
Thank you very much. Yes, I always edit from raw pictures. I've added a little grain here too.
Just Beautiful! Do u find u still need full frame?
Thank you very much Elias. I use full frame Nikon SLRs for photographing weddings, but it's more about having the optical viewfinder than it being full frame.
