  1. 28mm is perfect for the style of camera the ricoh is, perfect for snapshots when going out with friends & general documentary photography. Then one camera I truly bring everywhere

  2. I really like the pictures in this video! Maybe even more than your „old“ pictures

  3. What music site do you use in your videos, I really like the jazzy music?

  4. Yo man, a cool idea I’d love to see is you shoot like the old masters, some slide film like E100 and a Leica, Love your videos man!

  5. 8:12 “I’ll just get this stain out real quick so nobody can see it.” Little did he know it was being shared with 239k subscribers.

  6. I had em both. X 1st then the iii. Sold the iii. I do not like at all.

  7. Thinking you have to be so close to the subject is a lot of what is limiting modern photography. Everyone wants the same photo.

    1. 100% agree. People need to start photographing the environment with their subjects. Trying to force everything into a portrait session is part of the problem.

      Capture subject, place, and time for a full storied scene. Find a way to make clutter into context.

  8. I had the same thoughts and issues regarding closeness, etc. when I first started using 28mm coming from a 35mm. My first few weeks of shooting with it were frustrating and I didn’t like anything I was making. It definitely takes some practice and getting used to. But fast forward a few months and now every time I put on a 35 I feel like it’s too tight for a wide-angle lens lol. I totally agree about the last part though – focal length is so important and lenses are ultimately tools to show how you see the world. It definitely matters and each have a time and a place.

  9. You are right, focal size matters. I recently visited NYC. Had two kit lenses 16-50mm + 50-250mm plus 24mm prime. I realized that I used 16-50 everyday and never touched other lenses. They just sat on my hotel room. That taught me you don’t need telezoom in crowded city. Like are you going to shoot people tying their shoelaces two blocks away or what? Hh!

  10. I’ve used the GRIIIx for around a year and its served me well for some fire blicks but recently, and especially during my trip to japan where I was trying to do a lot of street photography, it has felt quite limiting and 28mm would have worked better for what I wanted at the moment as well

  11. Dope video ! I don’t know what it is tho…on a camera, anything wider than 35mm I can’t do it lol. But then if I snap something on the iPhone, I’m cool w/ it lol. What’s this problem called lol ?!

  12. 35 is for my personal perspective, less clutter more separation, my eyeline, with limited working the scene. Focused.

    28 is for the ideal perspective, less blur more context, use the back screen, work the scene like it’s cinematography. Layered.

    That’s how I use them anyway.
