Exactly. A good combination to make interesting shots.

It all depends on if you use a full frame or croped sensor camera and you style and preference

Couldn't agree more!!

Agree too. My Hexanon 40mm on Konica Autoreflex T is an all purpose lens , when using the camera without a bag. But on trips i throw 28mm, 50mm and 135mm in the bag.

Thanks mate

abetterangle, well said.

@@Neto-3377 Yeah, some real bargains to be had there for sure!I'd love to get a hold of the 100mm at some point. Looks like a great performer. Never tried the 28mm, but I heard it's not the best :-)

@Danny Deluxe yup

I bought the Takumar 24mm a little while back for my Sony A7 II and have been enjoying that for shooting in the city. It's taken some practice, but I think I'm getting a handle on it. Which one did you buy?

@@neilc365 the Nikkor AF-D lens. It's on the older side but very functional. I use it on my F100 and F3.

@@BillyHopscotch Sweet. Those older lenses can be solid performers. And affordable.

28 is a sweet spot man, a hole another ball game. You wont regret it, just get one !!!

@@TheBinoyVudi So, a year later: I used the 24mm a few times in Japan, but mostly stuck with the 50mm to avoid missing any shots. Since then, I bought and then traded away a 28mm Minolta lens for my Leica, as well as a Fuji Klasse W that I use frequently. Its 28mm is great! But since I can't get close to people I haven't felt the need for a new M mount 28mw.

Khun Lee it’s 16mm on a cropped APS-C sensor, which would be equivalent to a 24mm on a full frame. A 28mm lens would be a bit tighter.

@@GodFirst090 There would not be a single smartphone on the planet with an APS-C sensor.

TakeEmOutTed Please reread my comment. He stated that he believes the lens on a smartphone is 28mm. I informed him that no. It is equivalent to 24mm which would be 16mm on an Aps-C cropped sensor.

Carl Melton, that’s wrong. Look up the crop factor of an iPhone sensor size. If you do the math it’s nearly 29mm.

You can buy different adapters (auto focus or manual) for the Sony E-mount and use almost any lens new or old

@@windstorm894 I hear too many problems with the canon to sony autofocus adapters and for the price of the higher end ones, I could just buy Sony glass. It's not worth it. If I had L lenses, maybe but not for what I have canon wise

At that price it better be in basically mint condition. you can find good condition for 300. depending on the lens.

@@graham_white No it has a crack in viewfinder and some small scratches on bottom. Offered $400 has it up for $500AUS

Erik Leypoldt oooooh. Aus is different. I’m not sure how hard those are to come by over there but in the states I wouldn’t pay 400 for a cracked viewfinder. I’d rather have more body scratches and a clean viewfinder ya know? Scratches are easy to fix and don’t effect anything photo wise. Much harder to replace a viewfinder

Erik Leypoldt Don’t bother asking any questions mate, he doesn’t even respond to anything on here

Jonathan Notley Sounds like you’ve changed your tune mate, since your video in Hong Kong? Not a “boring“ focal length any more? 😅🙂

@@tallaganda83 Quite right. Typo!! :)

GeoffreyEduard thanks mate. Nah it was at 400

@@shootswithcoops the images look very bright and high key for trix shot at 400.

@@ming-artoflight2761 for my type of shooting I don't have the time to expose for the highlights and then frame/focus. That's why I just rate it as a 200. It's basically the same effect.

@@ming-artoflight2761 Not necessarily true because it will always depend from scene to scene... Exposing for shadows might potentially make me miss a great capture in the streets. So this means no usable photo. And my subjects are usually not in the shadows. So yeah, don't really mind about shadow detail. If you like to see some of my work to get an idea what I'm talking about, here's my website: Www.geoffreytfelt.com make sure to check my 35mm work.

The 50mm and 85mm are very important also, especially for portaits and candid photos and if need reach or for a closer distance. The 85mm is so slept on ! For either aps-c or full frame

I don’t understand the point of 85mm. 28/50/100 makes more sense to me. ‘Afghan Girl’ was shot with a 105mm. 85mm is a neither here nor there length.

SLIMNICS, yet all standard zooms start at 24mm...

It's a matter of different FoV. For me, the best is 35-40mm. But I've seen some people doing amazing stuff with 24-28mm.

There are subtle differences in the compression and how the lens renders your image. Stepping back with a 35mm would change the composition and what’s included in the frame. If you want your subject to fill a relevant portion of your frame, the image you get with a 35mm will include less of the surrounding and the background will appear closer/larger then with a 28mm. Yes, both shots can work but not in the same way.

That's opposed to gay photography

With a lightbox and DSLR setup, there's a few decent videos on it :)

shaun raymond yeah man. 18mm in apc is 28mm full frame

@@shootswithcoops its all greek to me mate I should try to understand it though it might help lol

I buy a lot of vintage cameras, and it seems like nearly every kit included a 28mm, 50mm, and 135mm. Maybe the old timers were on to something....

No way. I got a 28 mm lens before I even knew what a 35 mm lens was.

Additionally, I am due to photography and lenses and I had the impression that 35 mm was a bandwagon thing.

RS Oh hi, you are in here to? Fancy that

I totally disagree. Its amazing how much that little bit of difference from one focal length to the next csn literally make all the difference in the world. For instance. I just got a 24mm 2.8 for my newly acquired sony a7c. And I have to say that it's pretty boring to me. About as boring as a 35mm. I went to b&h and tried out the 28mm f2 (because I used to use it regularly on the Ricoh Gr and missed it) and instantly realized and was reminded why I loved that focal length so much. Something about it is just right in the pocket for me. Perfect amount of width without being too much, so that it just begins to resemble phone cameras. Vs the 35 let's say that too me, and many others, is equally as boring. Not quite wide or close enough. That being said I forgot how much of a difference that little bit of a change in your focal length can make. It's like too much or not enough salt when your eating. Maybe some people prefer things bland I dunno. Personally I like my food spicy! And mad flavorful lol!

@@akyerit Problems of a Boring shot are 49% the photographer, 49% the scenery and maybe 2% the focal length. A boring shot is a boring shot , 5 mm more or less doesn't make your boring shot an award winning image. Only bad photographers blame it on the equipment.

@@RS-Amsterdam well tell that to all the amazing cinematic directors that never liked the 35mm focal length and instead opted for the 40mm or the 28mm. Like Sergio Leone for starters. Not saying that you can't get dynamic photos from any lens. But you can't honestly say that the focal length is not that important. To me focal length is everything. That's the same as saying it isn't the camera or the equipment it's the photographer. Sure a bad photographer is a bad photographer, but a good photographer knows how to use those focal lengths as they are designed and intended. And the 35mm is just classic. I would agree because it's so "regular" it actually takes more skill to make a shot more dynamic. But you just can't get the same shot from a 35 that you can from a 28. And I've had a 35 forever, and know it very well. And have taken amazing shots with it. But I just utilized it way different than I did a 28. And I don't prefer it. Simple as that. Some prefer a 50. Some prefer an 85. To each their own. The 35 was designed to be an all compromising lens. But in that compromise, it kind of lost its edge. Kind of like Obama when he was in office hahaha. That's also why I prefer the more classic 40mm. Just that much tighter than the 35 to give a little more compression and intrigue to your shots

@@akyerit Yes blame the equipment, your shots are amazing !!

E Series are the ''cheaper'' versions. Look at the difference between the regular 50mm Ai-S Nikkors and the E series. Cheaper build quality.

@@VolumetrikHD Yes, cheaper in quality of the build, however no difference in the optical performance.
