Thanks!

Thank you! Hopefully more to come.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing. A 40mm (or EQV) is nice, who wouldn't love it😀

Actually on MFT that is one of my all time favorite lenses.

Thanks so much. I was almost depressed when I had to ditch my long serving bag😀

I know you are a nifty fifty😀 We should do a 50mm walk in KL in November.

Thanks. The Q2 is a nice camera, enjoy it😀

Thank you so much.

Thanks!

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊

Thanks. Yes, this is Helsinki. We were in a relatively new area and it looks clean and nice.

Thanks for watching and glad to hear you liked the photos too.

Thanks for watching and good to hear we were entertaining.

Thanks for sharing. Both excellent choices, by the way.

You have discovered our secret😀

Kiitos.

Thanks so much. I guess we can or will change our opinions or preferences over time, if we keep an open mind🙂

Thanks for sharing your favorites.

I should give the canon 40mm a try also.

Thanks.

Great combo too! I could go with that also.

Thanks for sharing your favorite lenses.

Thanks. That's a lot of 28mm😀

Yeah, the nearest streets are few and far between over there😀

Thanks so much for watching and sharing your lens preferences.

Thank you! Glad to hear you enjoyed the images in the video. Yes, you are right there are of course as many options as there are photographers and situations, regarding the best street lens. In the film days I used to love my Canonet QL17 with its great 45mm f/1.7 lens. On MFT one of my favorite lenses has often actually been the 20mm f/1.7 so I certainly get why you like the 40mm field of view. Thanks again.

The 40 f/2 & 28 f/2.8 were the most used on a m-body since the 80's. The 40 used is not just the 43mm diagonal nor fact I had a 35 summicron whose f/2 was absolutely unusable. The 40 is more often "raised" to eye at whatever level than the 28 which is more freely shot from "hip". Both are still being used on E-mt bodies. From time to time I feel a loss after acquiring AF (film) bodies since 1994, & then digital. Have had a number of 28's over the years { a rokkor since 66(til'18). leica & angenieux m-mts, 24-35, 24-50AF, very briefly 25-50 tokina lost in robbery in 82, etc. and the recent most "outrageous" at the long end of the 17-28 f/2.8 . Still have at least 4 of them. } Manual focus is good for the soul ! Recently have had so much fun w/ some Chinese aps-c lenses. my 25 f/2 is close to 38. Will look for a 18 or there about to mimic a28 . The FE 40 f/2.5 M is great, get it if u r using a7 series (60 on aps-c) I make-do w/ my old friend, the excellent 40 f/2. Still have to "tame" the 17-28, not an easy lens at all. Sorry not getting the 20-70 G ? Good luck to all. Don't spend/waste on stuff u do not really need.

The Sony a6700 + Sony 11mm F1.8. Good to hear you like it.

I actually would like a flap, because then I could keep the zipper open and still have some cover for my gear. In certain situations it works for me nicely. Anyway, a bag is one of the most difficult accessories to buy😀

Everybody has bag issues. Too shallow for 70-200, too thin, too thick, too tight for camera w/ vertical grip , etc. Still have this bag w/ zippered compartment at the bottom, which was used for carrying more than dozen rolls of film & filters. Now I have no intention of going back to expensive film, but don't want to carry fragile stuff like lenses in bottom; water, food & sandwiches to fill the empty bottom? foam, crumpled up paper, $$ ? (I still have few film camera bodies. 3 30m bulk loaders just for 3 diff b&w films are gone for good too ?) Nowadays every store is selling mostly backpacks, the most stupid thing to carry stuff in in a city. The one bag I tried to repair had a side pocket for papers & newspapers. I measured off an exact length of good nylon strap, enough to go around the bottom for strength, to replace the cotton strap which was wearing apart due to almost daily use. Before I (finally) take the job to a shoe-repair, the bag w/new strap inside was "lost". It was a Billingham type but w/ a plastic top flap. Miss it. But not the newspapers I no longer buy every day; nyt incl. Fake is all over the world! Got a bag for that?

volunteers ? sony (like minolta + leica before? ), yashica contax ? revive those zeiss lenses .

Thanks. That's not a silly reason at all and it makes sense to me at least.

Well, not all street photographs are close ups😀 Under 2m you can hardly fit a whole person in the photo. When it comes to shyness, it's generally speaking beneficial for a photographer not to be shy. If you are shy, do your best to get over it.

Thanks! 👍

Thanks. The distortion has never been a problem for me.

Distortion is useful to exaggerate and create interesting compositions.

I envy so-called “street photographers,” and aspire to improve in this area. I find these videos, especially with your guests, to be a great inspiration. BTW, Fujifilm has a screw-on adapter lens for the X100? cameras that produce the equivalent of 28 mm, while preserving the wide aperture of f2. I find it is overall more flexible for me than the native equivalent 35 mm.

@@kemerthomson Thanks. I'm aware of the Fuji converter and have actually used it too😀

I think it's a bit the same in every Western city, also in Helsinki. You have to read the situation and act accordingly not to get into trouble. People tend to be suspicious when it comes to photography. Thanks for sharing your choice of lens.

The 20mm 1.7 is an amazing lens!

Thanks. That sounds good.

You are absolutely right, but we wanted 28mm on full frame for this video.

Just cos lenses are labelled that focal length doesn't mean that it is exactly x mm. Leica Q is 26mm, but labelled as 28mm, and shoots like a 26mm (it's much wider than Fujifilm 18mm). Sony 35mm f1.4 GM is basically a 35mm - 45mm zoom lens due to focus breathing, but it's still a 35mm lens. Telephoto lenses may be labelled 600mm, but in reality it could be 580mm or something.

Fantastic photos as usual 👏

This video was filmed on the Sony A6700 and the Sony 11mm F1.8 lens.

Thanks for sharing. Fortunately there are lenses for everyone😀 I like 35mm too and would happily shoot on that.

@@mattisulanto Yes, I think the 35mm will be the best overall Lens for street photography for most people, there is a reason why there are millions of compact cameras with a 35/38/40mm Lens ☺
