    Thanks man, really liked this video. I'm thinking of getting back into street photography, and was eyeing up this lens. When I shot street in the past (er, 20 years ago), I was shooting with zooms, and around 90mm was my favourite focal length. Your video reminded me why.

    Great Video and photos, as always, Eren. Pleased you sorted out the audio issue, new mic looks good and sounds good too. I love the 56mm focal length for the same reasons you mention in the video, I picked up the 56 1.4 sigma lens for my Sony A6400 a few years ago.

    • @erenjam
      @erenjam  Před rokem

      Big thanks bro! still working things out on the sound and studio setup. And yeah, shooting street at 56mm is 🔥

  • @sleepless51
    @sleepless51 Před rokem +2

    I use 56mm f/1.4 on Sony a6600 and it's one of my favorite focal lengths for street shots on crop sensor. f/1.2 on Fuji looks amazing. Great shots!

    • @erenjam

  • @stefankuhn6887
    @stefankuhn6887 Před rokem

    I fully agree with you concerning focal length. I love shooting with the 2,0/50mm but thinking absolut a faster lens. That’s where the 56mm comes in - unfortunately I never tested it so far.

  • @greadore
    @greadore Před rokem +1

    Nice video. I agree with you about shooting with a longer lens, which seems to be looked down upon by a lot of street photographers. I usually use a Canon 85 mm f/2 or Olympus 45 mm f/1.8 (which is a 90 mm when converted to full frame) depending on which camera system I am using. I agree, the 85 -90 mm focal length gives you different opportunities and different types of shots which I prefer.

    I'm picking this one up new today at half price. Super excited. I have the 16mm f.4, and the 35mm f1.4 is next. All these new lenses coming out I'm getting the older ones when they go on sale. 😊

    • @erenjam

    I had x-s10 and now xt5, can't express how much better focusing on the xt5 is. Example, hardest was my toddlers kids w f/eye, x-s10 hit rate was low % wide open, with xt5 high % in focus.

    A few of your shots reminded me of the legendary Saul Leiter, and it's no coincidence that he often used a telephoto lens for his street photography.

    @dt-classics Před rokem +1

    Dear Eren, there are many good English street photographers, and I also really like the content and photos on your channel. It's funny, that for a long time I too only used the XF35 1.4 for street photography. I've also owned the XF56 1.2 for a while, and I'm totally addicted to this look. What you describe, quality, appearance, I can confirm 100%. Good times for you on the streets of the world ;-)) Best regards from Germany, Dirk

    Great video, I loved it! I happen to have both new 23 and 56 mm lenses from Fujifilm. Maybe it's just me, but they both seem evenly fast. I have no problem using it for event photography.

    • @erenjam
      @erenjam  Před rokem +1

      as long as the place is well lit the 56 does pretty well, gets a big inconsistent focusing on subjects far away at night

    • @roovinmo
      @roovinmo Před rokem

      Oh didn’t know that. During all occasions I had quiet good lightning and even used a flash once. I’ll try to push the lens to it’s limits next time :-)

    • @erenjam
      @erenjam  Před rokem

      you can, but the old 23 1.4 and 16 1.4 have focus scales which make it much easier to zone focus

  • @milletmongoose
    @milletmongoose Před rokem +2

    It is kind of a heavy lens to carry around on the street, noticeably so when compared to the f1.4 lenses. But I'm with you -- I've really enjoyed the pictures I've taken from the 56mm f1.2

      @ThoughtFission Před rokem +1

      @@erenjam Thanks Eren. To be honest, I somehow missed the segment where you talked about your presets the first time round. I'm always on the lookout for something that will give me the look and feel of the Leica M11, especially in camera, without the pricetag of the M11. Your prsets look like they might be a good starting point. Although I I didn't like what they were doing to the skin tones (a comon issue with some old films too). And the muted pastels that Leica has weren't there either. But, as I said, your presets miught be a very good place to start.

    In a past video you concluded that you’d pick the 50mm F2 over the 56 1.2. Do you still hold the same opinion?

    • @Ren-Ren-Ren-Ren
      @Ren-Ren-Ren-Ren Před 3 měsíci

      Especially considering that the difference is only $150 or so dollars

    • @erenjam
      @erenjam  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Both are great options, it comes down to what type of photography you'er going to do. If you'll be shooting in the rain and are a faster pace photographer then go for the 50, the 56 is slower, worse AF but the images will look nicer, not to say the 50mm doesn't take great looking photos!
