28mm is my favorite focal length to shoot on. I always find it both challenging and rewarding to compose scenes by filling the frame with my surroundings. Also your walking around talking head angle makes me feel like I am a baby and you're carrying me in a baby carrier. 👨🏽🍼
28mm is perfect for the style of camera the ricoh is, perfect for snapshots when going out with friends & general documentary photography. Then one camera I truly bring everywhere
35 is for my personal perspective, less clutter more separation, my eyeline, with limited working the scene. Focused. 28 is for the ideal perspective, less blur more context, use the back screen, work the scene like it's cinematography. Layered. That's how I use them anyway.
100% agree. People need to start photographing the environment with their subjects. Trying to force everything into a portrait session is part of the problem. Capture subject, place, and time for a full storied scene. Find a way to make clutter into context.
And people describe it as more challenging, but in many ways it’s easier because you can literally be almost touching them and they have no idea they’re in the side of your frame. Other focal lengths require pointing at the subject
Clearly too many snap photo at 28 without any composition nowadays i see it around me on insta subject in the center and a huge emptiness around. 50mm is much harder but when you take times to compose it gives amazing shots. But you can also have banger at 28/35. The most important thing is subject, composition on severals layers and light.
Used to never take the 35mm off my camera for years shooting street. But with how I like to capture subjects when I see an oddity, gesture, expression I came to feel that 35mm was a bit too zoomed in for me. Been shooting with 28mm for almost 3yrs now and it just works so well for Toronto streets. Plus the challenge to get the frame I want is a dopamine once nailed.
Great video as always dude. I feel you on the wide-angle struggle. I recently tried shooting street with a 16mm and that was insanely difficult - you basically have to stand on people's toes. But, despite the anxiety it caused, I really liked the end results. I'd love to see you try your hand at it for a challenge, especially in New York.
I suspect this goes along with your life’s journey perfectly. Both the move to NYC and visiting Japan, both crowded places and potentially tight spaces.
I carry both and glad I do. I have experienced difficulty at times with no view finder when conditions are too bright. I fixed that with snap focus. When I am being more diligent, I use an X100V. Nice work.
I had the same thoughts and issues regarding closeness, etc. when I first started using 28mm coming from a 35mm. My first few weeks of shooting with it were frustrating and I didn't like anything I was making. It definitely takes some practice and getting used to. But fast forward a few months and now every time I put on a 35 I feel like it's too tight for a wide-angle lens lol. I totally agree about the last part though - focal length is so important and lenses are ultimately tools to show how you see the world. It definitely matters and each have a time and a place.
I have been using the Ricoh 28mm (GR & GR3) for around 10 years now. And they are the perfect street and travel camera. Happy to see you getting into 28mm
I switched from 50 to 28 after having kids. They like to run toward you and it is somewhat difficult to use 50 (my big camera with 50mm lens) if they are always within an arm's length. I switched to 35 (Fujifilm x100v) first before moving to GRiii which is just a wonderful small camera for snap family moments while good enough for daily carry. I put it in a small belt pouch and carry it with me everywhere. I have my other setup for other things, but for kids and family photos, I haven't found anything that is better than GRiii.
I actually love the fujifilm 16mm f1.4 and have been shooting on that lens the most out of all my fuji lenses. And while it's a very very wide angle, i've actually found myself in situations where i needed just a little more. And so i'm now happily using the Viltrox 13mm f1.4 as my main wide angle in the streets. The 13mm (20mm full-frame equivalent) is ultra-wide without crossing the line of a fish eye distorted look, and the close minimum focus distance + the f1.4 gives a unique combination of shallow depth of field on a subject, yet with an ultra wide angle that gives plenty of context in the background, and it just feels very immersive (because it is).
The success rate for the 28mm focal length is much lower than that for the 50mm focal length. Garry Winogran will agree with me. The 28mm is made for capturing the tension of the street. The focal length will require more work but can have satisfying results.
I've had my Ricoh griii for almost 2 years now; sometimes I do feel that struggle with getting closer because I'm not that confident. There are other times though where I still shoot at a distance so I can embrace the wideness of the 28mm. It's a constant battle I fight every time I go out with it
Start viewing clutter as context. Once you shoot for a sense of place and scene, you'll start feeling like you're too close. Get layers in, and try to think of it like cinematography. Trying to turn it into a portrait lens with mid shots on a messy background is part of the struggle. This way you don't always need an interesting or pretty subject to make the image work. The people are just the seasoning to the scene.
I started off shooting lots of 40mm, but now the 28mm is the lens that stays on my camera by default. 40mm is still a great 2nd lens for me if I want a bit more distance while still including lots of the environment.
I've used the GRIIIx for around a year and its served me well for some fire blicks but recently, and especially during my trip to japan where I was trying to do a lot of street photography, it has felt quite limiting and 28mm would have worked better for what I wanted at the moment as well
I have the GRIIIx and I've been feeling the same. The GRIIIx is way too tight for moments with family and friends in my case. I don't want to have to bring my Nikon Zf with the 28mm lens to those kinds of scenarios.
Thanks for the video !. I wasn't a fan of primes, travelled with my Fuji 18-135, 35mm stayed in the hotel. Just bought a hard to come by Fuji 27 mm f2.8 R WR lens & took it out for an afternoon on my XS20. May have just had a change of heart towards prime lenses. Love this pancake piece. I have a rarely used Fuji 35 f2 which I'll try using next on my XT4. May sell the Fuji 23 1.4 R LM WR lens though. I believe Your good friend Roman Fox said 27 is for the scene, 35 mm is for the detail. May have to rewatch that video.
Thanks for the video ! I think it really depends of your environment and your facilities of being close enough to people. But I think 35mm is wide enough to shoot pretty much anything
I tried both focal lengths, had more keepers with the 28mm but as you mentioned had to be closer which for me was uncomfortable. Just wish Ricoh would improve the AF on the GR cameras. Had many frustrating misses, and yes I had Snap focus set.
Were you using snap focus or were you just zone focusing with AF turned off? Some nice shots in here! I've been enjoying 28mm a lot recently. 28mm in medium format film (4:3) aspect ratio is just awesome, in 3:2 it feels just slightly too horizontally wide. Whereas in 4:3 you get some of the vertical space but not so much horizontal space, it feels great. In full frame 3:2 it just feels a bit too spacious but of course in street it just requires getting closer. 35mm still feels pretty special for full frame street photography. As you said, 28 is perfect for every day stuff and it is sometimes perfect. I think of the GRiii as my pocket 28 when I'm shooting. I take a camera with a 50, a second lens usually 40 or 35, and then the GR at 28. So if needed I can quickly shoot wide or long without a lens change and it's a simple way to duel wield cameras due to how small the GR is. And if I find nothing is working or neither is right then I put the 35 or 40 on my main camera. This system has worked really well for me in both street as well as event work.
in my opinion shooting wide in chicago doesn't really work, it's not as crowded as NY and i often found my self walking into people, for that reason i stick to a true 50mm so i can get my subject without having to dive out of the way or run into them LOL
I know this is a silly question. But did you edit your photos before you upload all of them? I’m sorry i’m really new with it. I love the photos it bcz all of ‘em look cinematic for me and i want to know what apps did u use . Thank you
My name is in a Faizal video before GTA 6, what a timeline! Ahahah. Anyway, my preference has always been around 55/85mm, but switching to 35/24 sometimes helps me not to get bored and constantly challenges me to create something. I prefer longer focal lengths because they allow me to avoid almost everything I don’t want in the frame and give me that abstract touch I crave in street photography. By the way, really nice wider shots from this and the previous video.
You are right, focal size matters. I recently visited NYC. Had two kit lenses 16-50mm + 50-250mm plus 24mm prime. I realized that I used 16-50 everyday and never touched other lenses. They just sat on my hotel room. That taught me you don't need telezoom in crowded city. Like are you going to shoot people tying their shoelaces two blocks away or what? Hh!
Hi Faizal! Quick question. At the 13:09-13:21 timestamp. Was that footage from the Ricoh 28mm or from another camera? The colors and film emulation was beautiful.
Brave move putting that video cam on the ledge shooting you over your shoulder while camping. I wouldn't be able to take my eyes off that thing any time someone passed by. PS. Great video 👏
12 to 32 is the lense i float towards for street photography, i use it on my lumix gx9 so that i have plenty flexibility if you ask me. I wanna ask what camera did you use to shoot that intro with the red text?
I hope that you didn’t sell the X. I rotate between them. Some places are more suited to one or the other and if you always use the same focal length there is a risk that all of your photos start looking the same.
40mm has less distortion, as you will find when tilting the camera with a 28mm, and the ability to shoot images you spot across a street. Not all, or should I say, many the time something is spotted and happening but once out of the normal range of use of a 28mm. Use of the 28mm with the monitor, as in tiny cameras, does work fine up close without bruising the scene. And to a degree with larger cameras with pancake lenses, pretty easy to get in close, but once in close, distortions can occur. Placing a subject close to the edge with the 40mm is less likely to distort compared to the 28mm. When using f8 you will have depth with the 40mm or the 28mm -- not a world of difference. NYC does look like a 28mm or 35mm shooting environment though I am still thinking, depending on a style, the 40mm will have almost as much story, and ability to isolate the subject -- fill of frame, and be once step back, or shooting one second sooner. You will have the option shooting in layers or across the way, as you would with the 28mm while having the foreground brought up closer in the layer as part of the 2nd and 3rd layers. The 28mm will make the other layers less of notice. With a MFT camera, and the Leica 15mm lens, you get great up close shots, with a super fast focus. I am betting that the Lumix GX-9 + Leica 15mm will beat the hit rate of focus, when using auto-focus instead of zone focusing. I am still liking the 50mm field of view, though I am in small-town USA compared to NYC shoulder to should sidewalk shooting. I like to mix it up with lens, as much as I am told this will ruin my shooting. We are told a lot of things on TH-cam. The Gr III cameras are unique, and it does make me curious, but I am staying with Panasonic, Olympus, Nikon for now -- Canon less so these days. The GX-9 and Z5 cameras are simple and pretty easy to use on the street. But yea, the Ricoh is very tempting. Thanks for the video, Loren Schwiderski - street photography
28mm is the perfect focal length for those streets!!!!! Just try to connect with the subject, and don't shoot like you're a mile away.... I'm sure you might be surprised with the results.
What a great video - really makes me want to go out and shoot. Also, such a nifty camera. Could you recommend a similar compact camera at a lower price point? Love from Wales
28mm is my favourite for family photos, cause you are always close to them and can get good shots. For street photography 50mm is still my choice. Hahaha. No choice I am shy lah. 😅
Dope video ! I don't know what it is tho...on a camera, anything wider than 35mm I can't do it lol. But then if I snap something on the iPhone, I'm cool w/ it lol. What's this problem called lol ?!
Having shot with every vocal length you can imagine, my preference is still the 50 to 75 mm range on prime lenses. My XT five and the 33 1.4 and 50 F2 or the 561.2 are my favorite street lenses. All you need to do is practice looking a little further ahead for your subject matter, as opposed to using a ultra wide, which for me makes me much more uncomfortable. I don’t like getting into peoples faces. I know photographers who absolutely refuse to shoot anything other than a 28, which for me they’re missing a whole world in street!
Think I prefer your intentional style compared to the grab n go street style…. for me random shots of strangers really doing nothing is not what interests me…. you did get a few good shots, but nothing really grabbed my attention…. Again a great video…. 👏👏

I am the previous owner of that GRIII and the proud current owner of Faizal's GRIIIx! So glad the camera is in your hands and seeing the street!
In awe how well managed and well directed this is ⚡️💫

Thanks for this entertaining, playful and inspiring video! Really enjoyed the wider perspective and the photos you produced here ❤
A good thing to try is use the auto crop mode on the gr3, i sometimes just go to 50mm on it they come out great
The GRIII would be perfect if Ricoh makes it weather-sealed. It's super pocketable and very snappy. Perfect as an everyday and street camera.
I actually love the fujifilm 16mm f1.4 and have been shooting on that lens the most out of all my fuji lenses.

Or a sense of place. 28 is great lens for an establishing shot. More context to work with.
9:15 Wonderful use of color!!
i can understand not wanting to crop and get it straight in camera, but at the end of the day, if it makes it stronger posting it in crop... DO SO!
Appreciate you letting us know what your settings are. For a newb like me it’s really helpful

I really loved the color correction in this video! Street views with motion blur and color bleach/fade was something really sick

I really like the pictures in this video! Maybe even more than your „old“ pictures
Dude you have some Ernest Haas style shots in there, amazing works!
I was where you are at. Got the GRD1 that’s 28mm and has a 21mm and 40mm adapter. Focal length over pixels was well worth the sacrifice.

35mm is the best. I shot mostly with X100V, and find this focal length the most versatile one.

As the saying goes "horses for courses" different focal lengths for different situations
I've always pondered the idea of switching my IIIX to the III. The 28mm does seem very tough to master! Do you use the DJI Pocket 3 to film these?
Hi Faizal! Quick question. At the 13:09-13:21 timestamp. Was that footage from the Ricoh 28mm or from another camera? The colors and film emulation was beautiful.

28mm is the perfect focal length for those streets!!!!!
Just try to connect with the subject, and don't shoot like you're a mile away....
I'm sure you might be surprised with the results.
Great Video! I love Fujis 18mm f/2.
I am wanting to try the Sony 20mm 1.8. I have the Tamron 35-150mm which is my favorite lens because it is so versatile.
What a great video - really makes me want to go out and shoot. Also, such a nifty camera. Could you recommend a similar compact camera at a lower price point? Love from Wales
What Camera did you use for filming at 1:44
pretty sure it was dji pocket 3
GR3 and snap focus is my favorite street combo.
Hi nice photos! Can I ask what kind of focus you used? Thanks
28mm is my favourite for family photos, cause you are always close to them and can get good shots. For street photography 50mm is still my choice. Hahaha. No choice I am shy lah. 😅
Really really well made video!
How do you feel about the change? Too soon to say?
What music site do you use in your videos, I really like the jazzy music?
What do you use to shoot the vlog footage, just your phone or a dedicated 2nd camera?
2:53 "28mm feels too zoomed in" as opposed to 35mm??
the osmo set up is so clean I wish it was more wide angle tho but nonetheless, a cold setup
Very nicely presented
was wondering going through your channel.. ever thought about instant photography??
Finally, you bring up GR again.
Superb video and music.

RicohGRIII with a viewfinder would be rad…
Cropping is my friend.
I had em both. X 1st then the iii. Sold the iii. I do not like at all.
I love the risk of 28mm. If a photo is not good enough, is because you was not close enough.
this music is giving me anxiety 😂 like advanced soundtracks for sims
no snap focus?

Fantastic video

great video
Think I prefer your intentional style compared to the grab n go street style…. for me random shots of strangers really doing nothing is not what interests me…. you did get a few good shots, but nothing really grabbed my attention…. Again a great video…. 👏👏
nice vid. please review tiffen black pro mist vs moment cinebloom and similar please i like your previous videos
28mm is the best for me.
