"rangefinders are small. slrs are..." picks up an olympus "can be small as well" 😂

Great video as always! I am still shocked that you don't have a bigger following on youtube, your videos are so fun and informative. Keep up with the great consistency!

Yeah, as Lori Brooks wrote, the Olympus XA is worth considering. Matt Day made a video about it earlier this year, if you're not familiar with it.

You made zone focusing seem so much less intimidating. Thank you! I'm going to give it a shot!

I find that personally, when shooting film, a TLR is great. Between the quiet shutter and the waist level view finder people really don't register that it's even a camera.

If you want wider focal length lenses for the Canon 7 without paying for expensive wide angle LTM lenses, you can use the "Canon Mount Converter B". It allows you to mount inexpensive and readily available Canon FD lenses on the Canon 7 with infinity focus. This opens up a huge range of lenses like the 24mm, 28mm which you can zone focus with more depth of field for street.

Yeah man. Looking forward to shooting street with you man. If you can shoot street in Brixton comfortably, you can shoot anywhere haha. When I feel uncomfortable and shy, I go ahead and take the shot anyway and just pause with my camera to my face. Most of the time they think I’m still framing and they walk on and don’t say anything, but that level of comfort shooting takes a bit of time.

I have a mint Canon A-1 & was thinking of this rangefinder for my second camera. I've heard very good things, thanks for posting.

Love the OM system and their glass! Great video! Can't wait to see the gold you make!

Love your channel Ribs. You my man talked me into trying color film and after you talking about C41 Cinestill powder kit, I went and bought a kit and gave it go - thanks, that powder kit rocks - so easy. Have a Merry Christmas! and stay safe over there in pommy land.

If you want to shoot totally inconspicuously, on top of shooting from your chest, you can use your left hand, casually covering the camera, while taking a shot with the palm of your (left) hand. It isn't hard to do, it's even easier if you have soft release button added to your shutter button (it makes it easier to reach with your palm).

Great video bro. I'm looking forward to more vids on your street photography journey!

Shooting from the hip or the nip is a great technique, using it you can get so close to people.

Have you ever checked out the Olympus XA? Its a tiny rangefinder camera, with an almost silent shutter. It's also all black and very incognito and very, very small. Also has a lovely lens and short throw on the rangefinder, or just set hyperfocal and treat like a point and shoot. The shutter button is very light tough, so you can shoot easily at slower speeds.

Great usable tactics. Been wanting to do more street myself.

I have shot many street photos using your technique “shooting from the chest”. I have got many great photos and even a little tilt makes it looks great!

Really good tips man. I'm gonna try some of these

Great video man! I picked up a model 7 recently and was looking for something like this!!!

Welcome to the world of street photography bruh! You'll develop your flow and style in time. No need to rush. You're coming into it at a very strange time given the impact COVID-19 is having on the world not to mention the UK. That said, you will learn more about light and shadow than you've ever known by shooting street. Very different than shooting in a studio setting where you can control the light and how it behaves. You seem to have a good crew there in London. Put those guys to work. I'm from Harlem, so you know we got a different flow in NYC but that flow has to be fluid it because the Bruce Gilden approach to street photography doesn't work everywhere in the world. 🤣🤣🤣

Most valuable channel for beginners by far

Hell yeah ribs teach us the way 🙏

Hi great to follow your channel. I like when you test films you use them for real projects or personal shots. Instead other channels just burn rolls on a corner of a building just to show the style. But I use a Nikon F3 for street and all other things. I do own a Leica monochrome 246 but I no longer use so much. I prefer films. Keep up brother ✌️✌️😎😎 I forgot to mention on my Nikon I use a 24 mm and I use it with F/11 or 16 and from 2 meter marker 😎😎😎 And I just loaded my baby with a Ilford Hp5 with a yellow filter.

Lately when I've been out shooting even if I'm not shooting images of people I get these paranoid individuals that break out their phones and start videoing me lol. I was shooting some images of this cool looking stair case on the side of this warehouse the other day and one of the employees came out and started standing in my shot holding his phone up videoing me (so I got a shot of him too lol) then a number of employees started peaking out the door like I was doing something illegal. I was simply shooting an image of a building from a public street. Then yesterday I pulled my car over and I was sitting waiting for someone to move away from a subject I wanted to shoot and she saw my camera so then she broke out her phone and started videoing me because she assumed I was sneaking pictures of her LOL. This seems to be a relatively new phenomena that I haven't really experienced until recently. I give big props to those who can do blatant street photos and don't care about the reaction. It's getting tougher these days I think.

So nice of you sharing this begging of the street journey. I'm a bit more confident and tempted to give it a try now... I'm so shy :) Where do you get Double X "cheap" if I may ask? Keep going, you're doing really well :)

Nice video. I would advise to use the Olympus Xa4. It has an excellent 28mm lens. I love the Canon 7, but I am not always in the mood to take permanently with me such a heavy camera.

Just found this, very informative!

I’m based near Gatwick. Wish the weather would clear up so I can go to Brighton and shoot some film.

Thx for good advice.

Thanks for the info and thoughts :)

Nice video, as always!

Tried street photography with the Pentax 67? I need to try that...

Curious what you think is a good lens for street? 50mm you have distance with your subject but you don’t have that inmate closeness in photos. Or you think something around 24/28mm? Or 35mm which almost everyone uses. Just curious 🧐!? Lol thanks awesome video 👏🏼

heyy can you explain about the light meter sensitivity knob beside the viewfinder? thank yiu in advance!

Damn ribs. You playing a bass while you shooting?

You should try waist lever view finders for the street :)

ive been trying street photography as well and I read somewhere that teh sweet spot is 7-10 feet

The Olympus just sitting there wishing to be touched

This is a great video, with a lovely Canon 7:) I was just surprised when you talk about being conspicuous but you are using ass-big strap for the camera:)

im thinking of picking up a jupiter 35 f2., would you recommend it?

I know this is an old video but what lens are you using

Good luck with your local project. What kind of lens do you have on your Canon 7? It is very simillar to Russian 35 mm lens Jupiter 12 (M 39 mount). There is also very interesting social aspect of street photography. For instance do you plan to talk to people, get to know them etc? EduardoPavezGoye (kzfaq.infovideos) had a very interesting take on this topic.

Oh mate you're my neighbor

You forgot to mention that Olympus camera…
