My RF 50mm 1.2 ;-) I really don't like wider lenses. Got an RF 135mm 1.8 on order to complement this one and that's it, apart from my 24-105mm F4 for studio. I do shoot people (of the female persuasion) only, however. That matters in my decision ofcourse.

@RiceCubeTech Жыл бұрын

I find those more entertaining than “cinematic” blurbs. They’re both good things to watch, but I find the technicals to be better at discerning where the lens falls apart not where it works well. I want to know where I shouldn’t use the lens and opt for something else. I already know I can make cool content with most lenses, but I want to know where it doesn’t work as well as other options.

Love the casual videos with your son/family. They're always fun. I was fortunate to stop working my corporate job about 12 years ago just before a parent, in a different state, started having serious medical issues. I was able to spend so much time being there for procedures, surgeries, and just hanging around the dinner table. Wouldn't change any of it. I've been following the MRS philosophy (Multiple Revenue Streams) and social media isn't part of it. 🙂 Enjoy the time and keep doing what you feel is right for you. The rest will fall into place.

I gotta say what I love about your channel is the way you talk about these things. Where other youtubers might have said "Why you shouldn't use the 50mm" i.e. meaning why THEY don't use it, you on the other hand put it all on yourself. Because that's the thing - all of this moviemaking is so subjective and there is no wrong or right - only what works for you. And making others feel bad in order to get a clickbait headline is like pissing in your pants to get warm. So what I'm trying to say is keep up the good work and the positive vibe, it makes your channel a nice place to hang out :)

I honestly haven't been using 50mm as well. Shooting with 35mm the majority of the time, I've never found myself wishing I had more range but still needing to step back a majority of the time. I think my natural state of shooting has always been to stand particularly close to my clients or subjects, but who knows. Maybe picking up a 50mm will cause me to shoot differently but it's yet to be seen! Will consider picking up a different lens though, maybe the sigma, as I've realised I can always put the dollars saved into different equipment which could help me with my business a lot more!
