I'm aware of that...thanks 😂 I was in London a few weeks ago and there were so many people in an angry rush everywhere I went, not something I'm used to living in the North haha
It’s quiet funny isn’t it 😂😂
'Mate what you're doing' made me laugh as they could just pass by no problem :D
most British response ever. love it haha
YOUR ON THE ROAD WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?!?!? . im aware of that thanks 😂
😂😂😂😂
I bought a 50mm 1.8 FE for $100 a couple of months ago.
Sure, maybe the lens quality wide open isnt the sharpest, but it's light weight is just so convenient and nice to hold compared to my first lens, a 35mm 1.4 Sigma Art.
Makes me alot more likely to pull out or hold my camera, which is always a plus.
Not so sharp shots are better than no shots at all.
Yes, this lens is for poor people
@@AliRastafa How many times are you going to talk shit? We get it, you're privileged. Take your high expectations somewhere else.
@@AliRastafa what a comment :0 lol disagree totally though!
50 F1.8 is the one lens that opens the world of photography to millions of people, for many years, everywhere, on all the systems))) Nostalgic every time! Thanx, man!
Always enjoy seeing optical wander just posted on CZcams, great video as always. Can’t wait to get back into the city myself maybe I’ll use the 50mm when I’m next in.
Recently really started getting into photography and just bought a 50mm F1.8 a few days ago. Had saved up a little bit and after buying a cpl + nd filter thought it was finally time to upgrade from the canon kit lenses. Great video and can't wait to have the 50mm in hand soon
Loved walking and listening to London with you - sensory chill and visual massage . St Pauls looked moody
I got so excited off seeing this upload I literally just bought a 50mm 1.8 a month ago and was looking for another POV of it!!! Thanks Sam!
I took those "through the fence" shots of tower bridge last time I was in London with evening light, early golden hour. Sure hope to run into while I'm over this week.
Autofocus is a little slow sometimes. But i love that lens.
Absolutely true. So much u can do with it
Your videos always inspire me to get out and shoot street photography with my Z6ii, but i'm so socially awkward that even holding my camera up in a town or city makes me nervous, that lady on the bike would've probably put me off for weeks because i'd be too nervous to get out again for fear of p*ssing someone off.. Wish i had your confidence man! Thanks for sharing these videos, hopefully one day i'll have the confidence to do it myself.
Hong Kong Trip looks so cool! I actually do more 360 photography but have always wanted to go there!
Hi Sam, awesome video! The 50mm or Nifty Fifty 1.8 was the first prime lens i ever bought. Over the yearsn I have since bought a few more primes, but the 50 mil still remains one of my favorites and am still using it today. It stays in my camera bag.
I just started photography in a more pro way now and the 50mm is my very first lense and absolutely love it!
Dude you're very creative, very good shots! 🤩
I really enjoy these videos. Bought a nifty fifty myself recently and really looking forward to taking it into the streets soon!
Some absolute bangers here Sam! Love the 50mm for street photography. Every shot looks siiiick! Edits are on point!
Great shots 😮.
Utilizing this same lens, in the same lighting conditions, what ISO do you recommend to get good lighting but not too much noise?
Gorgeous shots!
Any other country in the world they'd just cycle around you, maybe even a friendly smile or a beep beep, London full of angry heads...another great vid and brilliant snaps, cheers dude
Dope shots Sam! 🔥
The Iphone shot might be my favourite one out of these, even though they were all amazing.🔥
I love these videos! Could you give any advice for doing street photography for people who live in uninteresting city’s… I have been going out but I just can’t get photos as cool as yours
My first lens to replace the kit lens for a6000.
It has truly made taking greats shots so accessible
Some great shots! I use the same lens with my A6400,are we all not doomed though the I phone shot was worryingly awesome 😢!
Hi, great videos !
Would it be possible for next videos to write the settings you are shooting with for each shot ? It would be so helpful :)
I am really impressed by how that photos went. A++ quality and cheap
I laughed so bad with that: im aware pf that thanks. I immediately went into the comments
Great video Sam. Interesting to see that this lens has the same optical configuration as the Minolta f1.7. The coatings are of course better and the Sony has a circular aperture. And the Minolta is slightly smaller. That is the lens I use on my Minolta film and Sony Digital A mount cameras.
I would like to know the settings of each photo. The aperture and the speed. Iso.
she wanted an argument that she was not getting 😂😂 great video 🫡
More POV streetphotography
You use a lut or filter mate to get that teal and Orange look or edit all the raws? Great shots as always 👌🏼
i dont know why your pictures are so clean and sharp.. i use the A7 II with the 50mm 1.8 but my pictures are verry scrap 😢
Konica Hexanon 50mm 1.7, great rendering, amazing colours. Price less than 50euros
Great video mate, bruh if you could start putting the name of what preset of yours you used that would be awesome.
I mostly use Sony lover, I don’t add it because I use it as a base and work from there. So I don’t want to mislead people to thinking all they have to do is press that one button and their photo will look the same.
But for reference I typically use Sony lover as a starting point 🙏🏼
@@Opticalwander gotcha man thanks for the reply. Keep up the great content my guy.
That shot on iPhone with reflection it’s cool
She cycled through a red light at a crossing and then had a go at you?? Wtf.
Exactly 😂😂🫠
Cyclists are some of the most entitled dickheads out there sometimes.
9:10 Karen went mobile, we're doomed... 😆
It was the first lens I got for my canon 4000D a year ago
Loved the video ... love my 50mm 1.8 ... random question ... what settings are you using on your gopro pov ... tnx Sam
OpticalWander.... London at night... with a 50mm... what's not to like? 😃
are any of these photos edited post shoot
Do you have any advice about not being shy going out recording, wanting to do some shoots in cities around the uk but Im not the most confident in recording
That cyclist 😂😂😂 she deffo related to Jeremy Vine and Cycling Mikey 😅
i've sigma 18-50mm f2.8 lens. do you think it still worth to buy this? f1.8 looks temping but can you please recommend me if i have sigma already? Please
Im aware of that thanks 😂😂
Nice video bro! i was wondering, i bought the same lens 1 month ago and when i take pictures with it i get a lot of chromatic abberation, do you have any idea where it's from? or maybe i use bad settings?
What ISO do you shoot at in these night scenarios?
hello everyone, a couple of months ago I bought 6000 and when choosing new lenses I realized that in order to assemble a good collection I need to spend a lot of money. Just a this 50mm 1.8 costs half of my camera price. Do you think it's worth switching to the canon m50? btw my script is exclusively a photo
No, better stick with Sony. For canon m50 you have very poor lens selection
@@TheGilotyn okay, thanks for feedback. maybe u can help me with choose, whats the best 50mm for e mount? im choosin yongnuo, sony and some no name manufacturer
@@Iromzy I think the 50mm in this video is FE, whereas for APS-C, there is a different 50mm lens and it has OSS and slightly more expensive (than the FE one), but very good lens. The two models are SEL50F18F (for FE) and SEL50F18 (for APS-C). For APS-C, SEL50F18 is very good.
@@nataraju.n thanks so much
Does anyone know which of the camera series from Sony allow you to zoom in and hone in on the focus area before taking a photo?
I have the a6400 and mine does it @kallfan4609
@@richards5328 I have just gotten my a6100 but havent gotten around to use all the features. Do you know what this function is called and how to find/use it?
Lightroom presets? Let me know!
🔥👍
There's two 50mm f1.8 lens on Sonys site, what would be the difference between them? apart from £100 😄 Anyone know?
I think one is for APS-C and has OSS, and the other is FE and does not have OSS.
9:10 she acting like she cant just ride past your left side😂
Why’s it always the cyclists 🤷🏼♂️
Still can't get over how he doesnt use a strap whiles walking about London 😅
What is she saying at 9:10 😂?
You’re standing in the road. I replied saying “ I’m aware of that, thanks” 😂
Some nice generic shots 👌
This lens is a crap. Way better to go with sony 85mm 1.8
Both good lenses.
@@Opticalwander i disagree. I have sony 50mm 2.5 which is eating this crap alive ;)
@@Opticalwander I agree both are good lenses. The 85mm is very good. The 50 mm is not bad at all. It's very good for its price, very light and compact. Definitely, there are better lenses, but much more expensive.
