great video!

The silver is infinitely nicer than the black version.

Thanks so much for creating this video! I can totally relate to your situation. I was thinking about getting the Logitech Pebble keyboard because I really enjoyed typing on the K780, and I figured they would offer a similar experience. You just saved me time waiting in line returning it😂

Really liked the images, especially the Seymour one (not biased at all). Thinking you and Josh should do a gear series 🤔

Any thoughts on the Zeiss c 35mm2.8? For street I hear it rivals Leica in sharpness/rendition…but maybe too clinical?

What a beauty

Hi Did you use Active Steadyshot on this footage? Thanks

How's the image quality when compared to FX3? Thanks

Thanks for making this video! Beautiful zine. I am ordering my first one from Mixam this weekend:)

GENIOOOOOOOO, me salvou!!❤

LONG time Fuji user and early adopter here. Love my XT5 and curious about the Nikon, but considering a leap to Sony (A6700). I’ve been shooting since the 90’s. Shot lots of film back in the day. I’ve shot every camera system from Canon to Nikon, Fuji, Olympus and beyond. Never tried Sony (other than my little ZV1 which is awesome). Curious about an A6700 or something really small and ergonomic. I do wear glasses so I need an EVF. Love mirrorless. I shoot headshots and I make a living at it. Currently shooting XT5’s but the autofocus is broken. If they don’t fix by new year I’m done. What camera system would you choose for full time portraiture? I have a weak back and shoulder and I’m 53 so I’m looking to go as light, ergonomic and fast as possible. Lighter the better. I shoot 75% natural light & 25% in a studio. Occasionally I shoot a family session, usually entirely with my X100V’s. I’m looking to change it up, but stay light and fast. I don’t need a tank I need a feather. I would love your thoughts!

Dunna Dit It used a different Color Mode. So, im not sure if the saturation still applies. Others are saying to use ITU709 - which I tried, and the colors look really weird in my test shots

Simple solid review.

Didn’t really get around to recording my thoughts after the walk, so leaving some here: 1. The Thypoch Simera 35mm f1.4 is a beautiful thing. Build quality is fine-does not feel too substantial, but that makes for a lightweight and easy-to-carry experience. Did not notice it being any less convenient than the Voigtlander Ultron 35mm f2 when it’s out of a camera bag. Extra size of course means you can’t slip it into a smaller bag as easily compared to the Voigt. 2. I don’t see myself falling in love with the focus tab for a few reasons, the main one being the infinity lock. Just don’t need it with the way I like to shoot. The focus nib is perfectly fine, I can get used to it, but the lock is an inconvenience for me. Much much prefer the Voigt. When it comes to video, however, I prefer the Thypoch. I’ve been adapting it to Nikon Z and enjoying it, but again, that infinity lock is incredibly annoying. 3. Aperture ring is hardly different between clicked and de-clicked. Just feels confusing to switch between the two with no discernible difference in experience; easily mis-toggled. Otherwise, the ring itself is fine. Just need to get a bit more used to it since I’m so used to using the Voigtlander. 4. Images seem to run a bit warmer and greener than the Voigtlander. I am almost inclined to say that it renders a tad more “vintage” than the Voigtlander, though they are very similar. Can’t really confirm until I shoot some proper side-by-sides, but that’s the impression I got. 5. My Voigtlander images with the built-in Lightroom profile always have too much vignetting for my taste, so find myself needed to increase that. Simera has no profile so I probably messed up the distortion correction. 6. Did not notice much chromatic aberration in the Thypoch images-noticed it in a few Voigtlander images. 7. Having a very difficult time choosing between the two lenses, mainly because f1.4 is f1.4. It’s nice to have that option when I want to use it. Otherwise, I think I would lean towards the Voigt as it’s more compact and has the nicer focus tab. 8. Sorry for the crap audio. Planning to use a lav next time. 9. Sorry for the POV video getting hidden under my vest. Gotta figure out a better way to use it. Curious to hear your thoughts if you’ve used both lenses, or just things you got from this video.

I get extra 1 hour shooting with 4K XAVC HS 100 mpbs vs 4K XAVC S. The only caveat is you need an editing machine that are capable of natively decode the H.265 codec or else you’re pretty much in trouble.

Good to see you pop up on my feed again and perfect timing - my freelance journey has been getting me down recently and I’ve entertained getting a 9-5. A couple of thoughts: - I don’t think passion and work is always healthy. I started freelancing for passion and reached my ‘peak income’ in 2021 (the income I want to get to before tax rates go up and I’d have to start expanding), and now every year I work so hard to maintain that peak income, not for the passion. - Feeling mundane in a 9-5 seems like a symptom of being a creative person and having our creativity limited too much by external sources. Whether that’s creativity in your life with evening/weekend activities or creativity within video/photo projects. - You’ve done the right thing in experiencing both to experiment. I think life is all about balance and different people have different balances. I’m starting to think that the perfect balance is a 9-5 for 3 days a week and having freelance work around that. That sounds like a healthy balance between creativity, stability and passion, but our world is not really built around a 3 day work week!

Happy having a M240 for 7 years.

I have this camera and know NOTHING. I am just trying to sit in front and talk. Not sure if these setting are for that or for making other types of content. Can you help me?

Are you using it without a audio interface

This is such a great video! I totally understand that balance between practicality and passion. I’m a videographer as well and had to make it a part time thing too which I’m happier than ever with and funny enough started making more money part time lol I feel back in control without that survival mode stress

I'm using a V90 card but after updating the firmware to V1.03, I can no longer change the record setting to select the bitrate with XAVC S-I 4K. It says "This function is currently disabled". This operation or setting not available as follows File format XAVC S-I 4K. However, I can record. It just the record setting is greyed out (600M 4:2:2 10bit) even the XAVC S-I HD.

🙉 this gave my head a nice spin at 3am. My thoughts: Sexy Joon I am sad that you are sad Your videos are not bad. They are very demure, very mindful. Mundane goes where he pleases When was the last time I felt "this is worth consuming"? Survivor mode Joon vs THRIVING mode Joon, who is sexier How practical is my passion? Is my math still mathing with me? Be healthy to you too <3

I’m trying to do the opposite 😂

Very nice video! I have a question, what lens did you use to film?

Brooooo ….. love this man … I think we’ve had conversations about our relationship with social media before but the way you communicated it with its connection to emotions completely changed the way the idea of social media sits in my mind. I appreciate you being able to so beautifully show me a different perspective man 👊🏾👊🏾

Thanks for your openess. I enjoyed your honesty! I am a subscriber a couple years ago when I got my Sony A7C and you had a video about slog2 settings. Best wishes to you on your journey to find your own happiness!

Hey thanks for sharing your experience. It’s very refreshing to hear you speaking about the things in life you are wrestling with instead of the copy paste productivity tips I see elsewhere. To finding your own thoughts I feel very similar where I am generally more reactive than proactive. For me I would put it as creativity for my job is reflex at this point, where as creativity for my hobby is novel hard work where I feel like my ability does not align with my ambition which creates a creative road block. Also I would ask how much time do you spend without tv or podcasts? I worry I let my brain listen to other conversations more than I make it work on its own, which leads to a lack of space for creative thinking.

Great and amazing thoughts. I find we have a lot in common. Life has become mundane and I really need more ways to get some creative stimulation... unrelated but if I find myself in your area, I'd love to do a collab vid or something!

Thank you for sharing. I have thoughts - but am struggling to summarise them in a youtube comment. I recognise in you a lot of what i have gone through myself. I don't have all the answers myself yet - but i have found new happiness in seeking change and serendipity (doing things just to see what happens). Maximising variability in life. Despite doing well in the career space, I am very disillusioned with the return I have enjoyed with financial success (relative to input). A very first world problem i admit. One I am working to fix myself. Heres to hoping we can one day get what we seek!

I wanted to create art I cared about and quickly learned that the means to fuel my art was not what I wanted. I turned it back into a hobby. I haven't given up I have just reevaluated why I actually pursued it in the first place. Also the instability and insecurity of the reliability of income is such a massive stressor.

100% agree with a lot here. I did freelance video and photo work for 3 yrs and was never able to get it to a financially stable point. Had some things change in my personal life and had to pivot to stability - ended up lucking out big time landing a full time video position at an agency that's been a great experience so far - I fit in well with the team/culture and I do work that's fulfilling to me. Work used to consume my life in my freelance days but now I literally have friends telling me in person and over the phone that I look and sound like I'm doing a lot better which is v much true. Sure I may have lost a lot of flexibility to work on unpaid passion projects, but I can def say I live a much more balanced and healthier life with a much better outlook moving forward. I do still feel the need to work on personal passion projects here and there that I make time for occasionally, and it's been great to not have to worry about money/stability as much anymore and instead enjoy life with friends/family. Obvi this is just in this current life season so who knows things could change (I always thought a full time creative job would just feel draining). But for now this seems alright for me.

Irregardles of the time passed wisdom and perspective is gained. That perspective is valued by those yet to achieve. What you have to say has value. It has more than or is just as valuable as all the others that are out there. Share your perspective. It’s obviously valuable.

good stuff

Interesting to note that when you used to be in survival free lancer mode you looked into the walled garden of the 9 to 5 and craved the stability and predictable monotony and now that you feel somewhat shackled by the very elements that used to be attractive. Thanks for giving us a glimpse into your pov as you've actually experienced both sides. I've always been on the 9 to 5 grind from the outside looking in, very much wondering how I'd fare trying to make a living from creative endeavours. I agree with the quantifying everything when you view everything in a practical lens, does sorta damper your outlook on life. It's a very utilitarian approach that seems to be absent perhaps when you're younger where you don't even look at every element in life in those terms. Where a proportionality analysis is not at the forefront before every task you undertake 😂 Always nice to hear what you gotta say, been following since I came across that IBIS comparison video.

I'm 25 - idk how old you are but I enjoy your perspective and videos.

Great video, this is the workflow I've been using recently, but very slightly different. Instead of creating a new album to sync, I have an existing "to edit" album which I drag photos to in Classic. After editing in CC I move them to another "to export" album so that I can export them when I get back into Classic. I was unsure about images remaining in the "all photos" folder too, but my understanding is that every photo you sync to LR CC is in the "all photos" folder, and then they are also shown in additional albums too. You can remove them from an album but they stay shared in "all photos" until you remove them from there. I asked ChatGPT to explain it to me and it said to think of shared albums as playlists of songs, you can delete a song from a play list (shared album) but it remains in your catalog of songs (all photos). My plan is just to remove finished photos from the synced album and then every so often bacth delete photos from "all photos", maybe every year or something. I just wish there was a way to get LR Classic to upload raw images to the cloud instead of only smart previews. Then I'd be able to export full sized jpegs straight from my ipad instead of having to use the "to export" album that I mentioned earlier. If this was possible, then 90% of my workflow could be from my iPad, and the only time I'd need to use Classic is for the initial import and cull. Again, brilliant video. I found it very helpful!

With godox triggers they can be affected by other WiFi and Bluetooth devices a lot of triggers can be it’s worth changing the triggers channel setting sometimes and this will usually stop the issues 👍

MAN THIS WAS AMAZING! Thank you for making this

This review was extremely useful! Quite honest and unbiased! Really good to see the keyboards actually working in real time, and that the Keys to Go is mostly unusable for me. Thanks!!

Cartier-Bresson famously stated that “Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.” Definitely agree with it…actually for me it was much higher until I started to think about photos like a cinematographer and not a photographer…rarely do you see shallow DOF in movies…they use light instead to shape a scene…hearing someone describe photos this way triggered something in my brain and it’s been easier ever since…Some of these images have lots of potential. The night image at -25.22 I think is fantastic reminds me of Todd Hido’s work 👍 also it’s super hard to nail any shooting from the hip with a 35mm focal length…definitely a 28mm or wider thing. With a 28mm you can pretty much nail it from the hip about 80% of the time. Really handy especially when you don’t have time to put it up to your eye…hard to predict everything!

Thank you for this review. I chanced upon this when I was looking at iPhone cases and have to say this is the perfect bag for me. Just returned the Nomatic bag since it was too heavy the zippers were too tight. Love the boxy/organized interiors.

Can I please ask a question? When I first started I was syncing my photos from Lightroom Classic to Lightroom Mobile....I have since turned off syncing & re organized my collections in Lightroom Classic. So, I would like to delete everything in Lightroom Mobile & only sync certain collections from Lightroom Classic. Can I do this? If I delete the photos in Lightroom Mobile will they get deleted in Lightroom Classic as well? if this can be done, can someone please explain to me how to do it without losing my Lightroom Classic photos?

Thanks for this very helpful video.. Can we make digital zoom on sony a6700 at 120fps or at 240fps for FHD or 4k ? (Any of these combination, after turn on digital zoom in settings)

Thanks, great video. If I'm correct, standard collections can be synced with LR for iPad. I wish Smart Collections supported that same feature so that i could dynamically and automatically increase/decrease the number of pictures to be synced between LRC and LR

This is the same workflow I use to edit shoots on my Ipad for when I don’t want to work at the desk. I believe when you’re syncing files this way from LRC it’s syncing smart previews and not the original files. If you try to export from the Ipad it won’t do a full res export as it doesn’t have access to the original file. All Synced Photos is just a collection that shows what synced between LRC and LR Ipad and is also available in Lightroom Classic. When I’ve finished editing and un-sync the collection, I select the option to delete from All Synced Photos (If the option doesn’t show you can reset the dialog warnings in LRC settings). It basically deletes the Smart Preview from the Creative Cloud. That way my synced collections and All Synced Photo’s amounts match, if that makes sense. I also hit the 3 dots and select Store Locally on the Ipad. This means I can edit without internet and when it reconnects it uploads all the edits I made in one go. Good video 🙌 The others show importing on the Ipad and all sorts.

Hey there, great to see you back. I hope you’ll start recording your thoughts-on-video like you used to. I always thought they were such a delight!

Would you recommend to choose this, the A7C, or A7C II?

I am a hairstylist and I bought the Sony ZV E10 Mark II and was thinking about changing to this for salon content. I was surprised to see the salon footage, that was all I needed to see plus your recommendations loooool. Thanks for sharing!

Hi. Very nice video. Did you follow their guidelines and left 0.13" bleed area on all 4 sides for each page?

I am a therapist and many of my friends are therapists as well. We often either actively use photography or other art/writing with our clients as well as encouraging it outside of our sessions. Everything that goes with the process like be physically active on walks and being social with others are some of the best tools we use. That not only applies to professionally with our clients but also personally for our own mental health.
