The 50mm 1.8 lens is one of if not my favourite budget lens, when i first got my sony a7iii the 50mm was the first lens i got. The 50mm allows you to get sharp portrait photography as well as a nice focal length for walking the streets. The 50mm lens gives you a nice compression ratio when shooting between f1.8 and f4 after f4 the 50mm 1.8 is still razor sharp with some compression noticeable. The nifty fifty is sharp all the way up to f10 after which it becomes a little less sharp but still professional.
taking into consideration the price point you cannot go wrong with the 50mm F1.8 Sony - or any make [there all the same]

Be careful with headphones on the intro 😉
Now you tell us! :)
I replayed the intro 3 times ahah
😅
h😄aha that is absolutely fantastic
F budget bro just look at your camera.....
4:00
Please don't throw the camera like this again, my heart stops beating for a moment 😲

Its ok, its only a Sony ;-)
This video has it all!

10/10 would watch again.
"Uhh someone's had a bad day" had me so weak 🤣🤣🤣
Would be awesome if you could provide us with the data you shot the photo (shutter speed, f stop, iso). Appreciate your work mate!
That’s a shout
Yes specaillly the f no.
Yes that will be gold
😍🙌😍🙌
There’s no “perfect” settings for all settings. At some points in this video he does say the data, and the title literally has the F-Stop, but asides that your locations and pictures won’t be the same as his, at all
3:40 when you find out the 50mm is still to expensive for you 🤣
Lmaooo
Lmfao 😂
I got a almost completely new one for $50 haha :) Is that still too much?
@@simonlindermeier3894 thats a very nice price though 😋🥳
@@platinum3181 jup, it is :)
Every time you throw your camera my heart is in my mouth 😳😂
Same!
i've always struggled with being self conscious, especially in taking photos in the street or of other people. thanks for this, kind of helps!
Hey I'm just wondering if you done this now. I feel like people will get weird about me taking pictures of someone else
@@sloopdog06 you may get some looks but checks your country or city laws and see if it’s okay too. If it’s for a more up front personal photo then I’d still ask but for the most part people won’t care too much
people will always confront you when you do street photography. even if you are not pointing camera at them they would think that you are taking a photo of them and start screeching.
@@crnapagoda depends where u are
Was not ready for that yelling at the beginning 😂😂😂
same
Really appreciate how you explained your approach to taking photos and not being worried about what people think of you. I've always struggled with that when taking photos on the street or for events where I need to take photos of people. Thank you so much :)
7:13 the shot with the guy in the suit, the empty window he's looking in, the zebra crossing and the trafffic warden all would have made a sick composition/ shot. Photography is so cool
So the secret of good street photos is living in a beautiful city?
Seems it helps yes 😅
Sad but true, lol
😂😂
Just seen this, give me a city and I’ll go shoot it.
@@Opticalwander if you can make Coventry in the UK looks beautiful I take my hat off to you sir (great video though, earned a sub 👍)
your photos are incredibly sharp and well-composed, enjoyed watching every second of this vid!
You take the most simplest things and turn them into phenomenal pieces of art. very inspirational as a photographer. I wish people in the US were that excepting of a stranger snapping pictures of them, people in the large cities over here tend to get violent and irrational very quick. I always have to find models or people who are willing to trade sometime for free photography.
Just what I needed I've used the 50mm for a while and going London to do some street photography and was having my doubts but definitely don't have any more, great video.
When it comes to the framing, I used to do it as well, white frames, 3 horizontal posts then 3 vertical posts. I don't anymore. I use mainly a 4x5 crop and roll I tout that way, just provides this cool seamless look in my feed now.
Hey ! Whats your instagram handle? i’ll give u a follow !
I don’t use my 50mm enough, so again inspired to go shoot with it. Thanks for the POV
The 50 was one of my favorites on Sony, but my absolute go to lens was the 28mm f2. That is hands down the best street photo lens for E mount, and it's also cheap, and the build quality is actually pretty nice, better than the 50. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. 😉
felt like a 35 and below is too wide. for me who want to compose more up close a 50mm or 85mm is perfect
@@notoironfist1280 yeah 28 is definitely far from a “hands down” anything.
Love the POV its so helpful to learn about how other photographers approach street. Glad I subscribed today I am really liking your videos.
When I first starting photography everyone recommended my first lens to be 50mm 1.8, I really hate it cause is not wide enough( every beginner want to shot super wide pictures and knew nothing bout low light cause always crank up the ISO) as I moving on nifty fifty has become such a big help in the process learning about photography.
Never heard about every beginner wants wide angle, i absolutely love telephoto perspectives and 50mm for portraits etc. sounds pretty normal :P
Same i prefer portrait over wide
@@immDroidz no he’s right many find it too narrow at first. Stop trying to make it about yourself. No one cares about you man,
@@kishascape Lol, mommy dont love you so you gotta take it out on strangers on the internet? No need to be so toxic
24mm is the best for wide photo for a efs
Another great Pov man! Love it so much especially how you always manage to add some funny stuff in it too! Keep it going man 😃
"get up, go out, and just shoot" honestly, GREAT advice. And not caring about what others thing you're doing, and just doing what you love!
Awesome shots as always Sam! Interesting that when I've been looking online the reviews for this lens are mostly negative... your shots prove otherwise
The bits about approaching and taking photos of people is what I came to TH-cam for today. I’m very shy when it comes to shooting in public even when I’m not shooting people. Something I need to work on. Thanks for the vids man, big fan.
I love each of your povs. You're doing a great job 👌👌
Love your POV's man! Love that you're making daily back too!!
I always wonder, why people aren't complaining to you, when you randomly take a picture of them. I'd be like wtf is he doing? 🤔🤨
The only thing to remember with this lens is that it does a lot of hunting so I dont use it much in fast paced situations. Still love it though
3:40 Ah, Someone's had a bad day. The fact he was so chill with it made it so much funnier
Amazing video. I've got this combo plus two more lenses and I have to say that I felt like going Itú for some photos after I watched this amazing video. Thank you so much. Cheers from Brazil.
I got a DSLR camera recently and would like to start getting into and doing stuff like this. I have a Olympus d5 micro 4/3 sensor with a 25mm lens which should be equivalent to 50mm lens on a full frame sensor.
But I still feel like the shots in this video are far narrower FOV which makes his shots more focused on one thing. While I capture everything in front of me
"I don't know. He liked it. He smiled. He enjoyed it. That's all that matters."
Sometimes this is the overlooked aspect of photography
3:37 When he did that my heart dropped.
Recently discovered your page and I can’t stop watching, love the content ❤️
Can you plz tell me about your auto focus settings? (Eye/single shot etc ) you choose for Street photography?
I‘m new to the channel and i’m in shocked how good you actually are.
1:19 what focus setting & area you set for shoot this?
that fast! love
I recently got the Fujinon 50mm f1.0 and I was hoping that it would be an upgrade from the 56mm f1.2 APD, but the image quality was worse, which was disappointing. BUT every time I watch a street photography video in the rain, I get the urge to do that too! But I can’t with the 56mm because it’s not weather sealed, and I’m like “should I keep the 50mm (weather sealed!) JUST in case I wanna do photography in the rain? Is that dumb?”.
I don’t know. I have it for sale right now, but part of me wanna keep it. My only other weather sealed lens is the 90mm f2.
Y’all, why is it so dang hard to choose lenses?
Hey man, I always use a plastic bag with a hole cut into it that is taped for a lens to go through, that way my camera and lens stay dry, even if it's a little rainy.
(Sometimes I stick the bag to my lens caps so in any cas almostno water comes through, as long as ur careful)
May i ask if the Nikon's 50mm f1.8g would give the same kinda amazing results?
Wow great! Which camera did you used for POV? And where you mounted it?
Love your POV’s!!! I think they are really insightful!!! Can you do a video of your pov recording setup!!! Audio and video gear and post production!!! Thank you!!! Keep up the great content!!! 👏😊
Audio is just the audio straight from the go pro itself with no post processing 🤙🏼
@@Opticalwander Thank you for the clarification 👍😊
It is 🔥 The 50 and 85 1.8 are my go to!
5:40 what do you do when they just start staring back at you?😂😂
Haha go talk to them see how they’re doing 😂
50mm is the best all rounder love that lens
Newish to you I'm now hooked absolutely love watching you take photos reminds me of my younger days keep up the great work 👍 😀
I have this lens
I use it on my A7 i
It’s really nice but I feel like I want an 85 mm or 70 200 mm
Well for now 50 mm is good
Thank you for sharing this video
Create more videos like this using cheap gear for Street Photography
Peace ...
Congratulations! Very nice.
every time you throw the camera around my heart stops😭
Have you got presets to your images post production. The pictures tone looks amazing
Yeah I use the presets in the description 🤙🏼
Heyy nice video. I like your way of explaining. I just started photography so I was curious how u make your settings and focus fast in other words how u adjust them fast when shooting manual or aperture priority mode in a fast-moving street photography environment. I couldnt find a video on that matter on youtube I think a lot of people will be interested in that. Best luck
Finally someone who’s explaining at the same time making shots ! Thank you !
Are the photos are naturel or did you use photoshop ?
Your photos evoke so much emotion and curiosity. They transport me to the streets you've captured.
Thanx for your advice! : get up,get out and do it : selfconfidence in photography !
What’s the mount you have to the side of your camera to place it on the ground side ways with no issue ?
Your videos make me want to go to England. I've never been 📸 Keep doing a great job bud!
For Crop sensor should i prefer 35mm or 50mm...
I want a little versatile lens...please reply ❤️
los preset que tienes a la venta son los que usas para editar esas fotos?
Absolutely love your street photography… I’ve just got myself a Sony A6000 I’ve be told to get the 50mm lens. Would love to do this street work when I have bit more experience with a camera.. I’m more into drones so this is all new to me👍🏻😎
This video provided me some good ideas and show us the shooting process, brilliant!
Omg that portrait of that one gentleman with a brown coat and a face mask is incredible. 😍
Big up for talking about the anxiety associated with street photography! What you said is useful for me - sure, people will think you're weird but who cares, it's just a momentary thought.
What do you use for your POV setup? really loved the vibe of this and the video idea for it overall.
I copped a Sony A7 II with a 50mm to do street photography. Hoping for great photos, it's a learning curve we all have to go through.
Love your video just want to know if possible how did you make the go pro so steady for behind the scene ?
I honestly detest the framing on instagram. Its tough being a fashion photographer, and you can´t really show the whole image as it should be seen. Would be cool if you could click on it and it showed it in full screen mode. And i really love your POV vids, they are so awesome and inspiring. keep it up mate :)
Very impressed with your eye. I’ve been browsing videos to see the potential of this camera and videos like this are definitely helping me make my decision
I just found out about your channel. Motivating me to go to the city again, your thinking process while shooting is so alike to how I like to think. Thank you so much. Love the 50mm as well. Gonna check your other videos now
The sound of the camera is so satisfying 🥰
Great video ! Love the philosophy on other people's opinions and getting out of the comfort zone, keep it up !
Please im stuck between nikon z50 and sony a6400 please which is better 😩😩
You are really creative But if I have a budget camera like Nikon 5300D in addition to the 50mm lens. Can I get a picture like this or close, or does it depend more on the camera?
It has a crop sensor. But also, do you not understand that digital demands a lot of editing, sensor and lens don’t mean that much
Hey man just wondering what type of focus do you use on your a7iii.
7:14 I've wanted to tell that you actually in some countries would be vaunted for it, especially when you are so close to some people like woth taxi driver.
I did today session also, 3h of pure 600 street rain photos and after rain. I wasn't too close to people cause there people are quite aggressive. On the day you can see few peoples who will say it too you but the best thing you can put some vibes on and shoot. You will not have to worry about what you do. This is my advice for some people who didn't used to it and feel sometimes awkward like me.
what are the differences between the lenses 85mm 1.4 and 85mm 1.8? Thank you
Hahahahahah
what camera would you recommend for a first photography camera? Im wanting to start getting into photography with a dedicated camera however I have no clue where to start. I used a friends Sony camera which i loved but its more than I want to spend right now as a first camera. I think it was one of the Sony a7 cameras he has. I was thinking of going for a cheaper sony camera and that way I could use the lenses I buy still when I eventually upgrade. I love low light photos but not sure if thats something that will have to wait till i get a higher end camera. Any recommendations?
This really is a great channel on photography! Keep it up ;)
that first scene reminds me of my hometown, ah the memories.
Im using 3:2 . Which one ur using?
What camera and lens did you use to record this video ?
Question. Does different brand of lens can be used on a different brand of camera?
Like sony lense on nikon camera, etc
I made the mistake of watching this while eating. You tossed the camera in the air and I choked on my broccoli in horror of how badly that could have gone 😂
Always look forward to watching your content, very relaxing (except when you toss expensive babies in the air) and gorgeously composed and edited pics!
I got same lens using for portraits and street photography really a great lens
I can’t tell but is there a grip/cage/enclosure you have on the Sony? If so would you mind sharing a link of where to buy?
Which camera are you using?
hey bro, so with your taxi/bikeshot going through the water, what do you reckon shutter you'd use
"Someone's had a bad day" Woman runs away 😂😂😂
Isnt an APS-C lens such as the 50mm that you used on a full frame camera supposed to be bad? I just bought the sony a7 III and i was looking for a 50mm that was on a budget
It’s not an ape-c lens. It’s a full frame lens.
Ohh I see, I thought it was the 50mm with the OSS that's an APSC lens, my bad... Very good photos by the way, keep up the good work.
i don t understand the mounts etc, but this lense work on a sony zv e10? if work is just plug it ?
Amazing photos !!
What configuration do you use for your shots ?
what camera are you using? in that video im curious thank you for aswering
what's your protune settings in GoPro for pov ... and for night Pov videos
i think you are using gopro for your pov video? does it ever over heat? if it does are you getting around it by taking a break instead of taking a one long video recording?
Show us how you record these walking videos. What camera do you use and exactly where are you wearing it?
Is it full Frame 50mm right which is equivalent of 35mm apsc sensor camera ?
What editing software do you use
Hello one question this lens for night photography???
Hi. Love this vid. I'm a bit confused about photographing strangers. Do you not have to get their consent to post to social media? Isn't there any legal standings to doing this? Also have you ever had a stranger confront you about taking their photo without permission? I only ask as Id love to get out and do this kind of thing myself, just don't want to get beat up or sued in the process 😂
Legal in most countries to photograph in public
In most places it is indeed legal to record people, but its nice to ask to do it, or when its asked to be deleted, to delete it.
I had to deal with a street photographers once with my friends, when it looked like he took pictures of the youngest girls from our group (they werent in focus too much), and he kindly deleted them.
If someone comes up to you or gives you a weird look maybe just let them know you took their photo and give them the option for you to delete it if they’d like
Here in Belgium it's totally illegal unless if that person is part of the background and isn't really the main focus
Each time he just threw the camera up in the air i was losing a heart beat for real😂😂
are there also any good lenses for Sony Alpha 6000?
can I use that lens for my cannon m50?
