Beautiful. You, sir, are highly underrated. You have such a wonderful eye for detail. I do hope you get the recognition you deserve.

[@tomasmano]

Thank you so much for such encouraging and kind comment, means a lot! Glad the images brought you something! :) I feel pretty excited about this 28mm lens, in a way it's less limiting in framing and therefore forces one to look for interesting compositions and details.

Wow, just stumbled onto your video and am seriously impressed. I’m new to Fuji and you inspired me to pick up that little lens. I didn’t know it was so capable, bravo.

Hello Tomas, I repeat myself, but it is always a real pleasure to see your photographs. She inspires me a lot. Always a good musical choice. For each photo, a story You really know how to adapt with all the different focal lengths, congratulations to you. For some time now I have been wondering if I should (because I want to) change my equipment? But the material doesn't make the photo. In fact I would like to change to LeÏca, but my low level does not merit the change. Thank you for all the photographic sharing. Thank you also for making videos that are essential, not useless, just seeing beautiful photos and no POV which spoils the videos. “Look forward to seeing your Book” 📸🙏 David

Hi David, thank you so much for watching and very kind feedback, really appreciate the support! Yes the 28mm focal length is really challenging focal length for me and I have a lot to work on to begin unlocking it true potential. :) When I start thinking too much about equipment I always remind myself a quote from one of my favorite photographer Stuart Paton - he was asked what gear he used and he said "A head and a heart". :) Really liked your street portraits from Canada, beautiful work!

Great work , I bought that lens for travel and took it to a recent trip to Porto ,an under rated lens

[@tomasmano]

Thanks a lot Gary, really appreciate it! I'm personally still in the process of discovering it but yeah I believe that it can deliver the good results. :)

[@antonyshchenko]

Inspiring! Are you using zone-focusing with 28mm or do you rely on auto-focus?

[@tomasmano]

Thanks a lot Anton! My approach is that usually I find a scene first, prefocus where I expect the subject and then just wait! Most of these shots are at f8-f16 which basically means that the most of the scene is in focus so I'm usually not worried too much about focusing in general. Hope that helps!

[@antonyshchenko]

@@tomasmano Thank you for your reply, Tomas!

[@wojt4spes]

How do you find 28mm compared to 35 and 50mm?

[@tomasmano]

I'm pretty excited about it, still in the process of discovering it and definitely want to explore it more in future. The framing is in a way less limiting but on the other hand also challenging so it opens new possibilities in terms of compositions and details. If one is in the photography for a long term definitely worth a try in my opinion. I think together with 50mm it crease really interesting combo that can cover a lot scenarios. Hope that helps!
