The 55mm and its twin brother the 80mm are same lenses other than focal length, their AF isnt the best, 80 being worst than the 55, but you get to know their weaknesses and strengths pretty quickly

Your nice video

Hi Mitch. Love your video, AND your work. Stunning. I am wanting to get a Mamiya 645 Professional. Does the viewfinder that you use on the prism display the world as we see it with the naked eye e.g. not upside down/left to right? Many thanks, Gina.

40 years of shooting film, I can say that NO serious professional was using C-41. We all shot E-6.

great Video! Would love to see more of that content! 😊

I like Canon 85mm f1.8 as the images have least distortion and it is very pleasing to see the images. The lens also captures a lot of light. Also it did not burn my pocket.

I bought my first Fuji camera over a decade ago as a compact kit for when I didn’t want to carry my DSLR. It came with the 18-55. Fast forward to now, I’ve long since moved away from full frame, only use Fuji. I have a dozen Fuji lenses including fast primes, and yet the old 18-55 is STILL the lens I use 95% of the time. I did an exhibition last year where nearly all images were shot with the 18-55. Kit lens or no, this is a piece of glass with almost no compromises.

So it costs money to take a photo of my toy truck car from every angle? Damn

You don t stop down to 1.8, you open up to 1.8. The fstops work inversely, thehigher the number the less light, that s calledstopping down

If I have iso 400 film and set it to 200 iso, do I still need to over expose the shot by 1 or 2 stops or do I just expose for the shot correctly?

Love the video would love to see more

Do you tell the lab to make any development adjustments when you overexpose?

I always had an 85mm f1.8G lens on my Nikon D810 for headshot/portrait kind of things, but lately i bought an 50mm f1.8 lens so i can have a bit more breathing room in a small space, so it is easier to do full body shoot in a small room at 50mm. There is a compression difference for sure, but i can make shots and poses at 50mm that i cannot get at 85mm due to the small space. so its all good. I only bought the 50mm for space restriction. If my room would be 1 meter longer, i probably did not need the 50mm. I am not sure which is better yet. only time can tell i guess. basicly i needed the 50mm. Not because its better but because i have to make it work in a tiny room.

Whether I'm shooting film or digital, I always explain to the model that when I ask for a pose to be held, I mean it. For some reason many models seem to think that they need to "flow" during a shoot - small movements at all times that transition from one pose to another. This can lead to movement and focus issues when you really just want to the model to be still.

Killer photos as always. 0:50 FYI stopping down means going from a small aperture number to a larger one, not the other way around.

Love it

Great! Would love to see more

There's no such thing as a kit lens

Great vid and photos man

Nice video!! Great aesthetics visuals.

recipe ??

Thank you)))

my fav photographer and youtuber. You should sell autographed photobooks

They are not going to make dslr lenses if they want you to fork out you're money on full frame cameras and lenses .Why pay £6000 for a camera you must be nuts.These full frame cameras are that good that you have to edit the photos on photoshop.😂😂😂😂😂 what a con (A fool and his money are easy parted )😂😂😂.

Hey, been keeping an eye on XT30II and XT5 as my first camera, which one would you recommend? And what lenses should I pair with as someone with zero knowledge about photography?

Excellent tips. Great photos. Thanks.

hey Mitch, I was wondering, the models in the developement section, do you contact them directly or do you contact the agency and they put you and the model in contact? Also ive tried contacting agency before but they ignored me so do you have recommendation on how to approach them?

thank for this review. im a sony shooter, but that R6 looks amazing. I love how balanced you approached the whole thing and I might pick the canon up in the future.

Lose the muzak !.

This is a work of art! I am so happy that I just picked up an X-T4 today, and I have a Viltrox 23 1.4!

So if you just shoot in jpeg instead of raw it should get rid of that vintage corners?

Prive 100%

damn bro, such an amazing images!

Reviewing a lens with a lut isn't really reviewing the lens, now is it?

Calling this a "beginner" camera is condescending. It's a perfectly good camera for an advanced amateur who only occasionally needs a full-frame sensor and can't justify spending more for a fancier set of features. Plus, it's no easier to use -- no more beginner-friendly -- than any other Canon camera. Many people will never "grow out" of the RP because with the right glass and an expert hand it makes the same image as any other full-frame 26Mp camera. If I opt for a FF mirrorless -- I already own a 5D -- it will be an RP because it is all the camera I would need, and -- bonus -- it uses the same batteries as my R10.

Seeing this a good 9 years later, i hope rhis couple will run into this video once again to remind them of their journey together. So beautiful 🤧

Btw I see you are using the Mamiya 645 quite a bit! You find it better/more enjoyable than your Canon 7s?

Analógic is the Best Quality in image fidelity , digital are not natural colours .

One video for best colour lumix s5ii

Which body camera did you use for the photo and video? Amazing 🔥

Definitely Fuji! Especially shooting in B&W.

50-70

NO one mention abount 'zoom' of this lens, at on product description telephoto zoom lens is mention. My main confusion is this portion and no review found regarding this

I keep telling everyone , 35mm for portraits is king. Especially for lifestyle

Did you use a passthrough adapter, rather than a speedbooser? Love these shots! Great video :)

Thanks for the video, I’d forgotten about this detail and I appreciate you sharing it. I think I remember seeing a video by another youtuber where he applied the brightness slider and used Photoshop to interpolate the curve it created. It ended up being a S curve that becomes more concave/convex as you adjust the brightness, which makes sense in preserving the details.

35mm is goated!

I gravitate towards 40mm (Viltrox 27mm f1.2 on the Fujifilm XT-5) as a single lens street setup. My other choice would be fuji’s 18mm f1.4 (27mm - 35mm equivalent) for street. But, I rarely shoot portraits. 😏

The output of that session would give me "photo satisfaction" to the rest of my life and for you it's just another day in the office :) Envy! Outstanding job of you 3!
