Excited for the next installments!

APPRECIATE THIS VICEO! Although I'm basically a Manual Mode guy. I'm finding Aperture Priority to be a niice alternative! Thanks for this info...

This was very inspiring, well explained and with beautiful photography. I love panos (have used the Linhof Technorama 617), now about to purchase a GFX and definitely will use this aspect ratio.

Thanks for this video.I've been doing some 66-24 And I have been loving it. With the gfx one hundred , you still get a forty-five mega pixel file which is plenty.

Great vlog - thanks. Just starting out with environmental portraits and found your tips very helpful to get started. Subscribed for more.

Bruh, it doesn't look bad like how people portray it...

just got a LN one....forT5 and X-E3 super good on BOTH - WOW in fact...my 35 f1.4 is going on EBAY...the 33mm far superior

Great review, as always, Dylan. Seems to be a very nice lens. One thing I noticed is that the color images seem to have a slightly cool/bluish cast. Is that lens character or simply your settings or editing?

In the past I've used my Canon R5 and stitching to produce pano shots with high enough resolution. My clients, architects and commercial designers, seem to really like them. I started shooting them when requests for 'banner' shots on websites became common. Now that I have a GFX I will have to try with it. Your truly well thought and clear explanations of how the pano's controls the viewers eye is rare.

especially loved that last shot! great review, thnx!

Admittedly, when watching your reviews I never care about the lens you review. I'm just here for the slideshow admiring the beauty you create, no matter what optic. The most established gear reviewers should take a leaf out of your book regarding sample photos as theirs are often less than satisfactory.

Lovely work and review. I kinda feel I have had my fill of fast manual focus lenses. I own the IBELUX 40/.85 and I doubt many can top that for 'characterful' look. It was overpriced, it's heavy but it is a lot of fun and I wholeheartedly understand and agree with your sentiments where you say these kinda lenses are not what you are really looking for for client work, but for photographing the mundane they are a lot of fun and you never quite know what the result is going to be. I find my Kipon hard to justify to keep, as it doesn't really earn a dime. If the lens had AF I actually think it would see more paid work, it's just a lot of the stuff I do is slightly faster paced (I don't really take clients out for a shoot and have an abundance of time to play around with different glass and looks). I really wish more companies tried to make GOOD characterful AF lenses, SIRUI seemingly the only brand thus far having a go.

Greetings from Russia. Thank you, very good review. It would be very good if you also indicated the type of film you used with the shooting parameters.

I hope you get to test a lens from Artralab

Lovely box - very Contax /Yashica 😵😵‍💫🤪

Hello from the UK - thanks again for great reviews 😎👍

Good, constructive review!

Nice vid as always, Dylan. Really like your channel. The Samyang lens may not be perfect, but I find myself coming back to it often; it’s small, light and fast and I like the rendering; colours are full and saturated, without being garish. Works well for b&w, too. And good sunstars.

Great T-shirt!

i have samyang12f2 & viltrox13f1.4 samyang very lightweight. My lightweight set is xc15-45 xc35f2 samyang12f2 My advance set xc18-55 xf35f1.4 viltrox13f1.4

The Vildhjarta t shirt tho!! Great content btw

Great bag, but it’s tough to keep clean and the black version ends up looking dusty real quick.

I love the x pan aspect ratio - have been using a Panasonic S5 which has the crop built in, as well as a Mamiya 7 with a 35mm adaptor to shoot these.

I tried taking action shots of my dogs with the old 56 and it is so trash. Zero hit rate, so sad.

I hv this lense not used it yet any tips on stree photography

Excellent tips. A lot of these pics have a National Geographic Kodachrome documentary look to them. Do you use a recipe that you can share?

Just lovely! Do you use a panorama head, or simplify and only a ball head?

Simply beautiful.

I really love your videos very informative. Would it be possible to do a video where you show how you use hss on the Godox flash to overcome the limitation of 1/125 shutter

I think your 13mm Viltrox lens might be my next lens to go with the 23mm (35mm equivalent), even though I own the Sony 11mm, which is quite good, but I can't get much bokeh, like you got out of your 13mm.

Thanks for the heads up on the bad points about the X-T5 Dylan. I'm just deciding what to go for X-T4 or 5. I think the X-T4 will be for me and serve me better. Still not sure about the flippy screen, but I'll probably put up with that rather than have all the other bits you mention on the X-T5 that don't sound too ideal to me.

How do you clean the bag from dust and mud? I use regular cloth to clean Pilot but its fabric tend to attach to the bag.

Great video! I have been thinking about this one. Thanks!

Dylan, do you usually shoot in the 65:24 format in camera or shoot in the default 4:3 ratio with the 65:24 in mind and then crop later?

great ideas 💡 Thx 🙏🏼 for sharing

Been using this bag for several years as my travel camera bag. I shoot Fuji and love the compact size, light weight and versatility of Wotancraft bags (I also own the 3.5L and 2L). You did not mention one of the unique features of the 7L Pilot: The front zipper pocket is not inside the main compartment, but in a separate structure attached to the main body at top and bottom. The space between the two is a pass-through where you can carry items too long to fit inside the bag itself. You could carry a small tripod there, but I usually stuff a light jacket or raincoat through it. Furthermore, inside the pass-through is a hidden zipper compartment that is completely invisible from the outside where you can stash things like a passport or cash. No-one who is not familiar with the bag would ever find it.

Hi Dylan, long time visitor. I'm almost considering this bag for my Fuji stuff. Question: I know the strap can be removed/reversed. I wear my shoulder/sling bags on my left hip, with the strap on my right shoulder, cross body. Will the strap length adjuster be functional or will it be upside down? Hard to visualize.

Love your style snd content but alwayd have to turn up the brightness on my device to see whats going on!

Can one of those extra optional pouches hold a water bottle? It would be great if rhey did. Been trying to find a small messenger that has soace fkrnanwatwr bottle with no luck yet. Could you clip one to the side rather than front?

I’ll definitely check out Wotancraft now, hoping it’s not that expensive to ship to Mexico. At the very least, I’d like to get one of their straps to switch the one in my latest bag (a Bellroy Chimera sling). Glad I stumbled upon your video!

Thanks Dylan. I typically carry a GFX100S, GF20-35 and GF35-70 as well as a small magnetic filter pouch and a spare card and battery. Would this work with the Wotancraft 7L? My current Lowepro shoulder bag is a bit too big and I'm looking for a replacement.

Isn't a shoulder bag harder on the body than a backpack? I've been using a small shoulder bag with added padding, but I realized that if I have it for a whole morning or afternoon, it just hurts.

Dylan,, this is very timely and a much appreciate review. I am starting to pick up photography again and despite switching from Nikon to a fuji system, I never took the time to update any of my lighting stuff.. I still have all of the Nikon speed lights and associate triggers I bought in Korea. I am looking for something that is compatible with my new gear and a simple bag to carry the gear with as I embark on my renewed interests in photography. I hope your amazon links are all affiliated links because I am going to start shopping soon.. Cheers to you for your efforts and your continued love for the photography profession.

My 3.5L has weathered a bit, the Cordura seems to suck dust and it becomes a bit greyish even with cleaning. I agree with your praise for the bag, the only issue I've had is the strap pad disintegrating and leaving black residue on my shirts. I got a replacement from their Taipei shop (which you should visit if you haven't, it's gorgeous and their stuff seems to be cheaper there), but the new one also started disintegrating after a few weeks. I've since replaced it with a Hakuba pad.

I would be interested in a compariosn review later, between the "old" XF 18-55, the new XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 and this Sigma 18-50 on a 40MP /XT5 sensor.

Great review. I become a fanboy of your channel :)
