Man, well said about the 45mm! I feel exactly the same way! I do a lot of street photography and couldn't believe how well suited the 45mm is for the way I shoot! I also use the Oly 17mm for when I'm closer to the action. Also a nice and sharp prime lens! Great channel!

[@richdt]

Mark, really enjoying your videos, you do an all around great job making them. Heck you even made going through your camera bag interesting... I'm glad I stumbled onto your channel. By the way, your selection of background music is perfect.

[@richarddutchholland4780]

Hard to believe I’ve gone from M4/3 when this video was released to FF and back to the new EM5mkiii with the Metaboones speed booster and my old Olympus om lenses....

[@gbayles]

Great bag! I have the same one with e-pl5, 17 2.8 Oly (yeah, I know its junk) 25 1.8 Oly, 60 2.8 Oly macro (don't need an adapter :), Oly Wide angle adapter (rarely use), 14-40 Oly 40-150 Oly, Viewfinder (forget the model but its a cheapo), spare battery, 2 polarizers in a separate bag clipped, spare SD (64GB, slow but free!), other assorted junk, and an FL-200R Flash (fits nicely in the long pocket). Wish I had room and money for the 75 & 45!

[@Beardbrand]

I use my 75mm for all my product photography. It's amazing and it makes images just pop.

[@Michromatic]

I went to the San Diego Zoo earlier this week with the 75mm and it was incredible -- great focal length for the occasion, and of course it takes gorgeous photos.

[@johnguillaume5919]

Well done. You put small and portability into perspective. I have to check out m4/3.

[@Cagey7531]

There's no-name bags built every bit as good as these pricier ones, and when muggers don't see known brands like 'Domke' in big bold letters on the front, they are less likely to try pull your shoulder off to get hold of it.

[@afistfulofvideos]

I LOVE bag segments! This was quite useful! :)

[@MrMarkpoole]

My main gear is micro 4/3.My budget forced me into Panasonic for now,but I have always liked Olympus.At least if I get an Olympus camera all my lenses will fit.I love that little tripod.I have a few tabletop tripods,but none like that.I also have a body cap with a pinhole.It works well but you really need camera support to use it.Plus it was cheap.

[@tofuMonzter]

Awesome channel, I'd love to see a review of your 75mm!

[@speedmatters]

Velcro - BIG mistake! Try opening this in the middle of a boardroom / wedding ceremony / wildlife situation. Even loud zips are a pain. How about some nice toggles?

[@DmaaaaaxC]

My bag content looks very similar: 3 main lens, a few filters, cleaning cloth, adaptors, and 2 extension tubes. However one thing I cannot leave without is an extra battery pack (usually 2). If I have to leave my bag somewhere I always pull out the extra battery pack and put it in my pocket....and always keep them charged. ;)

[@Michromatic]

DmaaaaaxC I have no spare batteries...just spare cameras.

[@ArminHirmer]

thats great. I would maybe just replace the vintage lens with a Laowa 7.5mm F2 :)

[@jonnelson4]

That bag is like a clown car -- you just keep pulling gear out of it!

[@bovver6092]

Awesome videos I just subscribed. I just recently got the Oly EM10 and loving it so far. I got the 17mm 1.8, 25mm, 45mm and the Sigma 60mm art lens f/2.8 (which I highly recommend to you) to go with the body. Sigma is relatively cheap ($209) and incredibly sharp. I'd say it's slightly sharper than the 45mm when pixel peeping. You should definitely look into it, it'll be a good bridge lens between your 45 and 70mm. I still want to add the 12mm f/2 and that 75mm beast to my kit. Look forward to your next videos. Cheers. Btw, I have a Canon 6D with 5 L lenses that I haven't touched in a year. It's so much more fun to shoot with mirrorless system.

[@HogbergPhotography]

Haha, OMG! It never ends! :D Great video, personal, fun and inspiring. Thanks!

[@Beardbrand]

[@Michromatic]

+Beardbrand Nah, just got an EM5ii, my wife would hate me :)

[@Barsky287]

[@AndreasWiehrdt]

Just bought the awesome Joby GorillaPod Micro 250. Thank you for the tipp!

[@AdamGirardot]

does that work well with m43 camera or would the GorillaPod Micro 800 be better?

[@numptytwonk1680]

Really like the look of that mini-tripod [12:20] --- can you recall the supplier/manufacturer?

[@46ace]

Nice kit: I'm a fairly recent convert to m:4/3loving it. It tends to: "go with me"; something my (sold off) Canon full frames didn't. I find m4/3 more than "just adequate" if you know what you are doing.

[@yannawednesday5792]

Hey, Mark! I have a GH2 (unhacked) and I wonder what would be best for filming KZbin videos indoors (with softboxes) and some general street/portrait photography: Olympus 25 mm f/1.8 or 45mm f/1.8...or Lumix Leica Summilux 25 mm f/1.4? Looking for sharpness and bokeh, of course. I actually love the look of your videos and you said you are using the Oly 25mm for youtube. Thanks a lot, so glad I've found your channel.

[@yannawednesday5792]

I'd really appreciate your opinion Michromatic ! Thank youuuu!

[@Michromatic]

Yanna Wednesday Correct, I use the Olympus 25mm for the vast majority of my video. I'd tried the 45mm at one point, but it's too long for my "studio" office. If I had more room, it could work. For your stated purposes, I definitely recommend one of the 25mm lenses. Now, Olympus vs. Panasonic, it's tough to call. If money and lens size don't matter to you, the Panasonic has some advantages -- a slightly wider aperture for more light and shallower depth of field, but it's a pretty narrow advantage. Mostly, people that have used both lenses tend to prefer the look of the Panasonic. The Olympus is generally cheaper and it's quite a bit smaller on the camera, though the difference on a GH2 might not be huge. You can't go wrong with either lens.

[@yannawednesday5792]

Michromatic Thank you so much! I dont have much space either, so your reply is very helpful. I might go with the Olympus then :) Keep up the good work, you're making things clearer for people who need help around here! I watched a lot of videos about micro 4/3 and I liked yours the best!

[@jonhermannsson9555]

what a diff compared to the poor DSLR folks :) brilliant - smaller the way to go - I miss my old stomping grounds when I see your videos - Mill Valley :( On lenses besides the 75mm F1.8 jewel and the 45mm I often forget the Pany 25mm F1.4 it is really the nifty Fifty

[@rolltrollroll]

How about an update? :)

[@Tzadeck]

Hmm, is there a reason you love that old 38mm lens so much? I could get one for pretty cheap along with an adapter, but I hadn't thought about it. I live in Japan and there are tons of used camera stores where you can find stuff like that.

[@Michromatic]

A few reasons why I love it so much. First is the focal length, which is just about my ideal. I also really like the solid, heavy feeling and the general handling of the lens. But what keeps me coming back to it are (1) the sharpness when stopped down to f/4, and (2) the lovely contrast and colors that come through the glass. It results in a bunch of my favorite photos. I recently did a video about my favorite photos from 2014, and the 38mm was responsible for the highest number. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoKUdHierbeBZ9k

[@Tzadeck]

Thanks for the advice dude, it looks like it takes pretty damn good pictures. If I ever see one in good condition for a reasonable price I'll pick it up.

[@Nicool333]

Hey man love your channel. Can you tell me which tripod that is? Also, I'm doing almost everything in black and White these days and having a lot of fun with it. Would love to see a video by you sharing your thoughts on b&w as a photographic discipline... Keep it up!

[@Michromatic]

Nicool333 The tripod is the Joby Micro Hybrid. Watch out, though, they sell two versions of a similar tripod, but only the Hybrid is built to hold heavier cameras. Here's a link to the one I have: www.michromatic.com/joby As for a B&W video, I don't do B&W often, though I've considered a short video about B&W processing since it can be more involved than a lot of people think.

[@shothorology9183]

Great vid- any plans for strap vids- loved the one you had on yr camera

[@PooHPC]

Where the links at bro

[@wildcat22]

That is one cool little tripod.

[@gcprost]

Wow! I can't believe you got all that into your bag. I never travel with that much stuff. When I am shooting stills on a job I usually have two camera bodies, one with the 12-35mm f2.8 and the other with the 35-100 f2.8 but it depends on the job. Thanks for sharing. Gerry

[@jon3787]

really like the video. I had a quick question about the 75mm tho. I tried shooting with this and it seems really inconvenient. Would you say that this focal length is a little inconvenient for the m4/3 system? I seem to have to need a lot of space between the subject to just get like a shoulders or above shot.

[@Michromatic]

Proxygate It's not surprising that you say that. The 75mm is a very long lens, traditionally the sort used for portraiture or sniping shots between crowds. Inconvenient? Totally depends on your uses, but it's definitely not a do-it-all lens like the 25mm. More specialized.

[@ariefhalisaputra1391]

are you take all lens if you go outside? waste focal length. (15mm,25mm,45mm,38mm,45-150mm,75mm) you own 75mm,are you still need 40-150mm.

[@nuvigroovi]

I like that leather quick release wrist strap. Can you provide me the name of it?

[@Michromatic]

+nuvigroovi I got it from Etsy, shop is called Anchor & Anvil.

[@whitewolf3615]

Have you seen that shop on Etsy lately? I can't find them. I know it's been a while, too. Hopefully it hasn't closed.

[@breadyegg]

Can you give them name of the strap, not the shop that you bought it from! 😉

[@dzp8656]

Nice vid. And wow..I really like..your bag..hahaha

[@matts3690]

Did your bag come with four velcro dividers or did you have to buy extra? If so would you mind sharing where you purchased them from? I'm only asking because all of the store photos I've seen of this bag only show it with two and I really like the size and storage capacity of it. Thanks.

[@Michromatic]

My bag came with the same two dividers you've seen in photos. I couldn't find extra dividers for sale anywhere, so I contacted Tiffen (owners of Domke) directly and they sent me two extra. Great folks.

[@bmrm145]

awesome bag tour. what bag is that? i love it

[@elignaciojara]

great video! what about the VF-4 EVF?

[@GaganGrewalf095]

Hi, is that a Domke FX5B? Do you think it will hold E-M1 + Oly75, E-P5 + PL25 with space for Oly17, Oly45, Lee filter set and few other things like filter adapter rings and extra batteries.

[@Michromatic]

+Gagan Grewal Yes, it's the FX5B. I think what you've described would be a very tight fit. I could fit my EP5 + 25mm, EM5 + 75mm and probably one or two more small lenses, but packing in the filter set, adapter rings, and batteries would be a stretch. Possible? Maybe. Easily accessible? Probably not.

[@willz4reals]

What polarizer are your using?

[@falconwoods7034]

hi, do you have the link or brand of the tripod? Really like it!

[@myousef887]

I like your bag so I bought one but it came with only 2 dividers. I think yours have more than 2. are they included in the bag or you bought them separately?

[@Michromatic]

I got them separately, had to contact Tiffen directly.

[@kitohammond]

Where'd you get the wrist strap? Looks pretty cool.

[@Michromatic]

+Anchorblahzay Got it on Etsy, from these guys: www.anchorsandanvils.com/hand-crafted/

[@sesskie]

Hi Mark, first thanks for your videos, I stumbled upon them while looking for a bag for my gear + GM1 and settled on the Domke, it really is great! Gear Question - I currently have the Oly 25, the panny 12-32 Kit lens, The 45-150 Panny zoom and they "toy" 35mm fujian which is a fun ultra cheap CC lens. I was kind of torn between the 15mm Summilux and the 45 Oly for my next lens, when I saw your endorsement of the F. Zuiko 38mm which I see on ebay for a pittance. Or should I save up for the 45 Oly? I have zero experience in this focal range... but enjoy street photography, and have been making do with the Oly25 so far because I love the personal feel and look of the pics it produces. Thanks! :)

[@Michromatic]

+Dran Well it sounds like you've already got both the 38mm and 45mm focal lengths covered -- you can do 35mm with the Fujian and 45mm with the Panasonic zoom. The view you'll get through the two prime lenses will be essentially the same, so I think you've got what it takes to figure out if you'll enjoy those focal lengths ;) My suggestion? Even though 38mm and 45mm are different, the two lenses feel similar enough to me that I end up using only one of them, depending on if I want manual or autofocus. I generally prefer manual focus, especially if I'm out doing photography by myself. If I'm with other people and have to move more quickly, I'll stick with the autofocus lens. But it really is personal preference -- not everyone has the patience for manual focus.

[@sesskie]

Hi Mark, in that case I think I may give the 38mm a shot. Even though I have 2 zooms in my kit, I definitely enjoy shooting with primes a lot more. The Fujian.. hahah, I bought it on a whim for 20 bucks, but its a gimmick lens with an interesting swirly bokeh vignetting haze around the edges and only sharpness on the centre.. twist the focus ring a little more than you should and it pops right off the adapter! :P For $20 it produces interesting pictures but nothing quite as beautiful as the F. Zuiko does, judging from what Ive seen of sample pics online! I definitely think Im getting hooked on the "Olympus look", they do make some really great glass. :)

[@markeggers3416]

Hey Mark, great video. I just ordered the same bag for my E-M10 outfit. According to Amazon and B&H the bag comes with 2 dividers. I noticed you had some extra in your bag. Where did you get them? Can they be purchased through Domke? I would really appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction. THANKS!

[@Michromatic]

***** Good eye. I couldn't find them for sale anywhere, so I reached out to Domke/Tiffen's customer support directly. Hope that helps!

[@markeggers3416]

Thanks so much! I will do that!

[@rchaz4509]

***** An option I found to add dividers to my "Tamrac Apache 4" bag: B&H has an item called "Ruggard 45 Shoulder Bag Divider Set" (and a couple other Ruggard divider sets of different sizes) which contains 7 dividers (mine had 2 more - 9!) of various size/form - $20. VERY USEFUL for securely packing various m4/3 small primes/zooms into columns which are often much taller/wider than the lenses. I'm using the smaller 6 dividers from the Ruggard set, plus the 4 adjustable dividers that came with the Tamrac bag (2 primary column style & 2 smaller subdividers.)

[@markeggers3416]

rChaz Thanks for that info!

[@petersypek1884]

I happen to have the same two cameras. :) What lens did you have on your e-pm2 while shooting the video? What is so special about the 38mm legacy Olympus? Focal length? Size? Feel?

[@Michromatic]

Peter Sypek I had the Olympus 12mm on the lens while shooting the over-the-bag shot. The Olympus 38mm is my favorite for all the reasons you mentioned: Focal length suits me surprisingly well, the lens is compact like a native M43 lens, but has the satisfying heft and feel of a legacy lens. Just a joy to use. It helps that the lens gets ridiculously sharp at f/4 and renders colors so well. Here's a video I did showing my favorite photos from 2014. Unsurprisingly, the most common thread is the Olympus 38mm lens. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoKUdHierbeBZ9k

[@pabloalonso5440]

Amazing videos, Mark. Very interesting tips and awesome pictures! Where did you get your wrist strap? Greetings from Spain.

[@Michromatic]

Pablo Alonso I got the wrist strap from a shop on Etsy! I think the particular shop I bought from isn't on Etsy anymore, but Etsy is a great place to find stuff like that -- there are lots of other options.

[@pabloalonso5440]

Michromatic Thanks a lot, Mark! Very happy with my new EM10 bought thanks to your advice, and thinking of new lenses. Your videos and pictures are awesome. Waiting for more :) Best regards!

[@primalspy]

great video. I'll be sure to use background music in my videos. my mft is a Panasonic 6G. isn't Panasonic & Olympus affiliated with one another? I've always wanted a mft camera that has that silver vintage look like a Fuji or Olympus.

[@Michromatic]

+Paul Vasquez Panasonic and Olympus aren't really affiliated per se, though they both produce Micro 4/3 cameras and lenses which are all inter-compatible. So you could use the same lenses and accessories for your G6 on an Olympus camera.

[@primalspy]

+Michromatic OK. so AF from an Olympus lens will work on Panasonic? what do you think of the Fuji X100T? I'm fascinated by how you'd be forced to use a fixed FL. reminds me of how I used a Canon AE1 with only a 50mm prime when I was a kid.

[@Michromatic]

***** Yep, autofocus works fine no matter which M43 camera you use. The Fuji X100 seems like an awesome camera, I've considered getting one. I don't have a problem with a fixed focal length :)

[@cadburries]

The DOMKE F-5XB comes usually only with 3 compartments, where did you got the other two separators? is there any way to buy them? Thank you.

[@Michromatic]

I wrote Domke from their website, couldn't find them available anywhere else.

[@tipdrinker]

I have the 25 and 45. lovely primes :-) You don't seem to have anything on the wide end eh? What sorta photos do you like to take? Were you on other systems before this one?

[@Michromatic]

I actually forgot to mention the lens I was filming with: I had the Olympus 12mm on the EPM2 that recorded the video. But it's my least-used prime, I'm still not great at pre-visualizing wide-angle shots.

[@Michromatic]

Oh, and I was shooting Canon Rebel before I got into M43.

[@tipdrinker]

12mm is pretty wide alright. I've the 12-35 and used to have the 14mm f2.5 (very underrated)

[@donmcvee]

I gather you are not a big fan of wide angle landscapes since your widest lens is the old 38mm. Or do you have lenses that were not included in the video?

[@Michromatic]

I forgot to mention the 12mm I was using to film the video :) I've also since got a 17mm. But generally, I do prefer longer focal lengths. I struggle with wide angle.

[@josephcastillo1974]

Michromatic I love your videos and I'm glad it's a channel dedicated to the Micro 4/3 system. Anyway, a couple of questions. 1) How do you like those two lenses you mentioned, the 12mm and the 17mm? 2) Did you come from a larger dslr system? 3) If you did come from a dslr system, do you miss it?

[@Michromatic]

Joe Castillo Both lenses are pretty great, for different uses each. The 12mm is great for landscapes. I personally struggle using wide angle effectively, but I'm getting more used to it. And when I want a wide shot, the 12mm has been great. The 17mm is pretty wide too, but less good at landscape. It's known for being less sharp than other Oly primes, and that matches my experience. It trades sharpness for a rendering quality that is awesome for shooting photos of people. People shots look great with the 17mm.

[@xfani]

What polarizing filter are you using? I'm on the market for one that is relatively affordable so is there one that you can recommend?

[@Michromatic]

I have a handful of polarizers, including at least one of these: amzn.to/2fbUCuU

[@kentxx12]

I have a Olympus camera to...but why....what about the hipster thing...i use a strap from a mobilephone thats cost about 1 dollar and its great and safe to...i dont get it...Sorry

[@XavierFajardo]

Hi there, will you do the video about the Pen F lens you have? I'm really curious to know what's the equivalence in digital sensor with those focal lenses, seeing how the wiki page says that a 25mm Pen F lens is equivalent to a 35mm on a 35mm film camera.

[@Michromatic]

Xavier Fajardo I haven't done any videos about the lens specifically, but I show a lot of shots I've gotten with it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoKUdHierbeBZ9k As for the focal length equivalence, you're confused in a common way. The lens is 38mm -- regardless of which system it was made for, it's 38mm. On a Micro 4/3 camera, it will give the same field of view as a 76mm lens on a full frame camera. I'm going to have to do a video explaining it better, it's frustrating that this method of describing field of view is so convoluted. The short answer to your question, though, is that a 25mm lens is always a 25mm lens. The "mm" measurement doesn't change between systems. If you want to compare field of view between Micro 4/3 and full frame, it doesn't matter which system the lens came from. A 25mm Pen-F lens, a 25mm Micro 4/3 lens, and a 25mm full frame lens will all give you the same field of view IF they're attached to the same camera.

[@XavierFajardo]

Thank you very much for taking the time to explain this, I'm new to photography and I do have a hard time figuring the focal view between one system and the other. So what I understand is that the distance the light travels through the lens and hits the sensor is what those millimeters stand for and the the field of view it can capture?

[@diller58]

I have a Canon 60D with a 5omm lens. I have been looking at this bag and seems to have good room with being small. Do you think my DSLR will fit well with this bag.

[@Michromatic]

+andrew diller Camera + a 50mm lens should fit okay. Bigger lenses would be a problem.

[@martinchambers6930]

Great Vid. Thanks for posting. Have a copy of the Pen F 38mm as well. Just waiting on an adapter now... shouldn't be too far away. Have just heard though that this lens is treated with Thorium and is radioactive. Do you know anything about this and how do you store/handle your lens? Cheers, Chumby

where is the best 500 mm lens for mft

[@supersquaddie101]

looking for a new camera, can anyone tell me the advantages/disadvantages of micro 4/3rds vs aps-c mirrorless cameras

[@Michromatic]

+David Buckley Biggest difference is size vs. image quality balance, which is the same difference between all mirrorless and DSLR. APS-C cameras have some image quality advantages thanks to their bigger sensors, while Micro 4/3 as a system is still much smaller. Depends on how you like that balance, and at what point you're done trading image quality for compactness. There are other differences, including lens selection, prices, etc. For me, the big feature I like for Micro 4/3 is the in-body image stabilization in Olympus cameras. I have the most fun when I'm shooting with old lenses adapted to my camera, and having in-body image stabilization is a huge, huge benefit. I would seriously miss it if I ever used a Sony or Fuji mirrorless camera. (There's a decent chance Sony will add in-body stabilization to their A6000 line in the future.)

[@Federico84]

i don't really like olympus lenses, they are not stabilized so not really useful on panasonic bodies, maybe only wide lenses like the 25 mm, even shooting with a 42 mm is not so easy without ois

[@Michromatic]

Tecnovlog If you shoot Panasonic cameras, yeah, that's definitely a drawback for Olympus lenses. Both of my cameras have stabilization built into the body, so I don't mind that the lenses don't have it.

[@Rushfan74]

+Michromatic +Tecnovlog The Panasonic Lumix GX8 can now compensate those Olympus lenses with its in body stabilization or am I incorrect in saying that?

[@Rushfan74]

That's why I grabbed the GX8. I can now use both Panasonic and Olympus lenses and not worry about stabilization.

[@Federico84]

Robert Alaniz too expensive

[@Rushfan74]

I agree. It was pricey at $1199.99, body only.

why the music?

[@jet528559]

where can i get this bag?

[@Michromatic]

+TriFire It's a Domke F-5XB. I got it on Amazon. amzn.to/1MLmSZ3

[@kujira-track]

Do you know the size of the strap of the bag? Thanks

[@Michromatic]

The width is 1.5" I think. The length, I don't know. I believe this is the same strap: store.tiffen.com/item/745-1TN/1-5-Gripper-Utility-Strap/

[@guardianobserver6593]

You have very small solders ehh?

[@Michromatic]

Guardian Observer I'm not very good at soldering.

[@moodyrcf]

any plans to get pen f?

[@Michromatic]

Nah, I have an EM5ii now. The Pen-F is gorgeous, but not worth the upgrade in my case.

[@vermontmike9800]

What model of bag?

[@Michromatic]

Domke F-5XB or something.

[@loremipsum7471]

Your music sounds like something out of Disney's Ratatouille

[@attentionaddicts]

what tripod is that?

[@Michromatic]

It is the Joby Micro Hybrid. Be careful -- there's also a Joby Micro (NOT Hybrid) that is probably too-lightweight for Micro 4/3 cameras.

[@mick1967]

Nice Video with valuable information but why must there always be this music in the background? It gets on my nerves after a short period of time. I would like to have the possibility to switch it off.

[@Michromatic]

mick1967 Good feedback, thanks :)

[@Guairenito]

hahaha, I find it nice as a background music.

[@donihermawan308]

hm... actually, all your videos is about Olympus, not MFT... never heard Lumix?

[@Michromatic]

+Doni Hermawan Nope. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIqnhaevl92jlbs

[@GrimYak]

slowly apply cold water to burned area

[@djnowak]

what is IMO

[@Michromatic]

+marcin n Sorry, "in my opinion."

[@djnowak]

Ok

[@djnowak]

What would be next one after 45 mm

[@Michromatic]

+marcin n Hopefully by then you've got a sense for what you want to accomplish. You could do everything with the 25mm and 45mm, or you could find that you really want a wide angle, or really want a telephoto for wildlife. Lots of room for personal preference. Focus on the result you want to get, and what you current gear isn't doing for you.

[@dentReviews]

you know what they say about men who have small cameras...........

[@Monkeyshaman]

This is why you watch videos end to end instead of skipping things, now I don't need to buy a stupid fast card reader and can justify having bought that shitty eye-fi card all the while having yet another excuse to not actually work on my pictures.

[@BlackMenTakingOurCommunityBack]

Do you want to sell your 75mm?

[@Michromatic]

Black Men Taking Our Community Back Nope!

[@BlackMenTakingOurCommunityBack]

Michromatic do you feel buying the 75mm and the 45mm will be a redundant unnecessary purchase?

[@Michromatic]

Black Men Taking Our Community Back I have both, so no. IMO, the 45mm is more versatile. The 75mm is a lot longer, it'll get you different shots. I organized all of my photos into albums per lens, so you can check out what each one looks like here: www.flickr.com/photos/markryansallee/sets/

[@douglasholt9337]

Yah I like the music is just there, not in your face.
