Love those night rainy shots at 9:38. It really gets you in that mood. Awesome work as always man 👏👏👏

Great shots,bravo.

NEW ADRIEN VIDEO I LOVE YOU ADRIEN

great video and, as always, great pictures! 😊

I'm on a trip in Japan at the moment and I discovered your channel just before taking the airplane. I obviously came here for shooting street pictures. Your videos are really motivating me to shoot. Keep going with your channel, it's a good one and it pushes me to shoot as well. Thank you!

Would love to see what you would create with a 135mm. It’s one of my favourite focal lengths, and I feel like it takes many of the concepts you’ve described in this video to the next level.

I shot with X-E3 + 35 f1.4 for over six years. Travel, nature, landscapes and especially my kids. Now I exchanged for Canon R8 + 35 f1.8 and I also like this setup very much but size is a little bit too much for my liking. Nevertheless I can't tell if I like better 35mm or 50mm. I can definitely tell that I love having only one prime a shoot with that the whole time. I hated times when I constantly thought what focal lens should I bring, should I change lens on the fly during travel. My family members hated that even more. Btw I love your videos, they are so calm and relaxing.

All you need for street (full frame): 35mm, 50mm, 85mm Holy trinity.

When I used to travel on study abroad trips in college, I’d only take a 50mm f1.2 and to this day they are some my favorite images nearly 17 years later.

I have been really enjoying your videos - thank you! How do you determine that a shot needs to be held at a "dutch" angle - your's look so good

love at first sight is real thing. subscribed

Some really nice pictures, and I liked the music and overall ambience. Personally I’ve never enjoyed 50mm, and I’ve settled on 40mm as the “best fit for me” field of view. What field of view people vibe with is so personal. It’s hard to give any advice beyond “here is what I vibe with and why” and “try a bunch of primes, or a trans-standard zoom locked at specific focal lengths for a stretch of time, and see what feels right for you”. Funnily enough, I’ve had 50mm lenses forever, which I bought because everyone was saying that 50mm is the “normal” field of view, but I was using APS-C cameras and it feels like nobody was explaining the difference! That was in the late 2000s, and 100% of amateurs and a good chunk of the pros were using APS-C sensors (for budget reasons), but still all the photography sites and forums and magazines talked as if everyone was on full-frame lol. When I finally realized that a 50mm lens was not the famed “50mm” that all the photography content was talking about on my APS-C cameras, I tried a 35mm but could not make it work for me. It always felt too long or too wide, depending on the subject. 23mm (~35mm full-frame field of view equivalent) was better, but a bit too wide at times. And finally I tried a couple 27mm (~41mm full-frame field of view equivalent), and fell in love.

The 50 is a classic. It was always the anchor in my set of primes. But recently I’ve been shooting on a XF27 and a GF55, both eq +/- to 40mm FF. You should try. Viltrox do a 27mm f1.2 AF for Fuji that is stellar. And you are right, getting past 35 means you have to be much more intentional, and that’s a good thing.

Great Video

50mm is my favorite focal length for stills! But 24-35 is my favorite for video.

Fantastic video

Adrien! I absolutely love your street photography. I've been shooting with a 50mm straight for a couple of months now and I'm wondering what are your thoughts in using Manual Focus lenses for the same shooting style? I shoot manual and I always wonder if investing in a 50mm AF would ease the process. To me this seems like an obvious yes but by how much since I also shoot at F5.6 - F11? Does shooting manual make you a better photographer long term? Thanks!

I really enjoy your videos🙏My two main (digital) cameras are also an A7IV and Fuji X-E4. Both brilliant cameras…and though I find the Fuji is way more fun for just walking taking pictures, the Sony is a beautiful, highly capable beast for photo AND video

You are now the 21st Century's Henri Cartier-Bresson with that 50mm shots.

the shot at 9:53 nice

Great images…which you think you liked …Fuji or Sony ?

im new in photograpy, just wanna ask, are you ussually use ND filter when take a street photography?

I love the pictures. Are they calibrating based on classic chrome?

Its funny because 50mm is for me actually quite wide, sometimes i wish it would be 70-85, because not always i can afford myself to get closer to the object

I shot 95% 50mm for years. The only thing to do is to understand 3 things : 1- Nobody matters about your photographies. So no need to try to impress those around you with the shallowest depth of field. 2- You're not doing a reporting, but just trying to keep a memory for your travel or for a pleasant moment. So there is nothing bad if you don't capture the full-scene. 3- Supply constraints is a source of creativity. More often, your pictures are more original than with a zoom lens.

what does it meas by 35 equates to 50mm. it has the same field of view?

that frame at 10:05 is insane

Apologies if you've mentioned this previously but I was wondering how you're able to live in Japan? Is your spouse from Japan? I was looking into extended stays/living in the country and research made it seem difficult if you don't qualify for the aforementioned status. Thanks and as always, lovely photos.

50mm is my favourite, especially because I like to have only one subject in my stills

👌

Lovely pics, can I ask you which is your favorite system for street photography? Talking about camera feeling? Fuji?

Now that i got the Fujifilm 23mmf2 and the 50mmf2 you have to do a video about 35mm on Fujifilm. How dare you😅 The thing with shooting vertically on tighter lenses I also noticed. Lot.

have you used any 23mm for street photography?

If you multiply by x1.5 you get the same amount of f-stop from apsc to full frame I think; it works just like the crop factor. So if you want f/5.6 apsc but on full frame then that's around f/8 equivalent on full frame (that should give you the same depth of field) and that should give you the same amount of light to the sensor assuming the iso and shutter speeds are the same. Another great video, thanks for posting!

What is your accents?

May I ask, do you have a link to glasses you are using :) ? They are amazing

I only can afford m50 efm22 mm lens. How can i get a good quality pics as you

where did you get your glasses from? I kinda like it

i only have a 50mm f1.4

Got me a GR3 after watching some of Adrien's GR3 videos last year, love every photo from this channel but I just have one little thought sometimes I enjoy the quiet walking POV instead of so much talking since there weren't many different cameras or lenses used here, it's always that few repeating lenses like 35mm and 50mm and always that few cameras, I feel like it's not so important to have so much talk on the repeating perspective on how the lenses work on compositions or foregrounds etc, but just viewing the photos is already a great enjoyment for me. ❤

How can you aford to shot 3-4 hours every day?

Pictures of 35mm or 28mm re somehow childish and chaotic. Personally, i dont want to shoot ANY action on the streets, i dont like that kind of reportage type of pics. I like more closer shots, i want to previsualize my pics, i like to direct them in a way i want. I like that abstract look, the more cinematic, simplistic, painterly and introvert look of 50mm (and even 85mm!!!). Not to mention the great portrait results. Yeah, foe me, the 50mm is the one to go. Great video of yours mate...

Focal length=\=field of view. You can't just crop a 35mm image and call it 50mm, that's not how it works. The compression is totally different.

First

why such a high level camera with a low level lens?
