Is the first part a sarcasm? Because I didnt get it 😁

Yeah, exactly, 35mm focal lenght is as closest to what we see with our eyes, so this lens feels more natural to use

Give it a try! Although it is interesting, how it would compete with that 50mm f1.2 🤭

@@ShotsByJev We shall see! 😄

Well I dont often work with assistants, only on extra long days or when there is lots of driving. But before I also used to think that changing lenses during wedding day is lame and zoom lens is better, well I still think that as I am lazy to constantly changing lenses. The solution is to have two camera bodies, then you easilly can carry two fixed lens that will get you covered. Also second camera body is good to have in terms of a back up camera if something happens to the main one. So you already have two cameras and can try to shoot with one wide fix and tele fix lenses, the wider aperture is worth it in my opinion. Unless you are into those ultra wide shots then you will need those 12mm on your wide zoom

@@ShotsByJev I bring three cameras with me. So I have a back up to my backup. And I have back up lens also and bring three flashes with me. I lug around two backpacks. Sometimes I have one backpack but I can only bring two cameras with me. On those days I'm using Olympus 12-40mm f2.8 and 75mm f1.8. I've only had couples once in a blue moon ask for ultra wide photos. I do have one in my bad the Olympus 7-14mm f2.8

​@@bigrobotnewstoday1436 overkill on the backup😅

@@MrWiseinheart Not when you shoot two cameras and one breaks you'll be glad you had a third. I know of two photographers that had two cameras break on them. It's very rare but it does happen.

I think because of sensor size difference the difference will be, and for ones the depth of field isnt important, but I like how images with open aperture looks. anyway it is not the time for me to change current kit to completely new one, also the downside to Fujifilm in low light apsc sensor is still a bit worse than full frame, I compared my X-T30ii to 5D mark iii and the Canon is still a but better in low light, and low light photography is a part of wedding day

Yeah, it is really nice lens, before I was more in for zoom lenses, but now I get it why you should use prime ones

Nice to know, but it sounds like extra work for lots of images from a wedding, so in this case if I dont have option to shoot with 35mm I will use a speedlight alongside my zoom lens

Thank you for kind words! I always shoot in manual mode, because over the years I kind of developed a feeling of the settings would be suitable for each enviroment as if I would shoot in lets say aperture priority mode I would have to learn to understand how camera adjust the exposure to be able to correct it faster on the fly. But yes, this lens is amazing!

@@ShotsByJev Thank you for letting me know! Which settings are most important in manual mode? ISO and aperture?

Depending on situation I try to keep my shutter speed optimal so people that are moving would be sharp in the images and according to that I will adjust aperture and ISO depending on lighting conditions, so I guess shutter speed goes first and then the rest

Glad you enjoyed it!

In the future will do video from next trip what do I carry with me for street photography

Hey! The thing is that I use my Sigma 35mm for wedding photography, so I dont have experience filming with it other that videos for this channel which isnt any problem or a big demand for this lens. For photography I prefer Sigma over Samyang as it feels more reliable, but the best thing for you would be just to try them both and then decide wich will suit your needs better 😊

@@ShotsByJev thanks sir

Hey! I was in exact position before as you and shot almost entire weddings with zoom 28-75mm lens, but when I tried 35mm I saw the difference in the ability to open aperture and better separate objects from the background. Also when shooting with zoom lens you dont have constant focal lenght always zooming in or out which doesnt look cohesive comparing to one fixed focal lenght. If you dont know wether you would see the difference try to shoot with 50mm lens with wider aperture if you have that lens (that what I did prior to 35mm lens, started to shoot more and more with 50mm lens and wide aperture) or just rent 35mm lens for a day, because unless you try it is hard to say wether you would see difference, for me it was big enough that I went the next day and bought my own 35mm lens

what brand is your lens? on what camera body do you use it?

😂, you'll find out on the honeymoon...

haha :D

As funny as this sounds more depressing is to see some of those newlywed couples split up after one year being married. Glad I had only few of them
