Everyone who has a mirrorless should get themselves a vintage 135mm manual prime. They're ultra cheap (under £50), are great fun, offer amazing image quality and teach you so much about using longer focal length.

Thank you, both Nigel and James, for creating an Interesting video. Clever idea, each shooting with a different length lens and only that lens. I did enjoy the ‘restrictiveness’ of the challenge. Focuses the mind, bringing frustration and joy in equal parts, I’m sure! Now to check out the images! Looking forward seeing the very different results. I loved the video of the vertical rain cloud coming down to Earth and moving across the scene.

This night I will have dream: Nigel Danson, James Popsys and Henry Turner... my beloved three photo mountaineers on the top of a fell, all struggeling with a f..... nifty fifty ;-). But seriously, a few collabs over the year would enhance every envolved person´s channel. Brilliant idea Nigel.

Thanks to the two of you for the time and effort to put this together. Did you flip for who buys dinner?

Absolutely agree with you in challenging ourselves with restricting focal length. I went out with a 24mm prime and absolutely regretted my decision while shooting with it on top of a hill thought I was missing out on all the details in sky and clouds but was pleasantly surprised to find out later looking at them in Lightroom that I got some really lovely wide shots that I may have never thought of. Thank you for posting such informative and encouraging videos all the time. Will make sure that I tag you on Instagram in the 24mm photos that I took yesterday. Hoping for a quick feedback!!

I love your edits more than anyone else so it would be great to get your take on it.

Been waiting for something like this Nigel. Hats off to you both for getting out and up the mountain. Personally I would of gone for the 200mm myself. I tried this challenge on the 35mm prime doing a woodland video. Its a lot harder than it looks when you dont have the focal length. I loved both of your images but fair to say I prefer yours Nigel as youhave more scope in your images. Working with a 24mm up the mountain I can imagine be a pain in the butt!. Great video. Really enjoyed watching this. Could of invited me but then again I dont have 200k plus subs haha😄
