An interesting and thought provoking video. I liked the idea of going along on an actual photo shoot--spontaneous rather than posed. The background music was unnecessary and annoyng,
Is Grand theft I found this video because I just bought a used copy of this lens and it looks virtually unused so I'm interested in learning how to use it because so far, I'm bad at it.
It’s great you’ve got hold of one! I think it just takes a bit of time to get used to it and using layers in your scene really helps too! Just watch out for that distortion! 👌
I reckon your shots probably have more artistic value than those from the 50mp fuji guy :). I have yet to load mine with film ......looking forward to it after being inspired by your work...
Thank you! I really appreciate it! ✌️ It’s a great little camera, just an easy to use, fun and refreshing shoot! Got a plan for mine in the works! Have fun shooting it!
Photographer embraces the Reto, instant like. I liked how nobody paid a blind bit of notice to you, would that have been the same with a slr set up? Not sure
At that point I usually just did some dodging and burning using masks in Lightroom - selected the guy and the bike and adjusted exposure and shadows/highlights, maybe added a bit of clarity then darken the background slightly to make him stand out. After that just adjusting colours to what I liked and suited the scene - not a massively heavy edit! 🙌
Thank you! I appreciate that, it really can be a great place to shoot! Always good when a place like this is on your doorstep 👌 glad you enjoyed the video
Hey there, i have the same lens, and its a beauty for me because of his weight and simplicity. i would love to have the new 20-70 but im very happy with the Zeiss. It gives you a different way of thinking the gear. You dont always need to have the best. Stay safe and make some videos! love your style and humor. Cheers from Argentina
Exactly that! 🙌 sometimes a lens just has to be easy to pick up and do a good job! There’s always a tonne of lenses I’d love but something like this lens always ends up being the handy all-rounder. Thank you so much, I really appreciate you saying that! I’ll get on the making! 🙏
Now this video made me consider using my 10-18mm with my Canon 80D. I always find it difficult to use as the sky's always blown out or the landscape is so dark. I'm going to give it a try.
I know its not a lot of money, but I heard from several reviewers that the ultra wide seems to refer to the lens and the slim to the viewfinder, as it apparently cuts out around 30% (15% each) of the picture. Was that also your experience?
I mean I didn’t know that so I can’t say I was particularly looking out for it. In all honesty I don’t really read too deep into reviews, 30% is a lot but in real terms don’t remember picking up the camera and thinking the viewfinder crop was an issue 🤷♂️ if it was my everyday go to camera I could see that being a problem, but for a quick and cheap point and shoot it didn’t make much difference to me
@@Allikkx Ok, thanks. I am also debating on that: Like, pre-internet era we never hat numerous reviews where people talked about flaws and we just bought an item because it looked good in the store LOL But if it didn't bother you when shooting I think its okay for fun.
@lelandfitz1762 yea 100% but a camera you like the look of and hope it performs okay! Honestly for a fun, film point and shoot it really is more than okay 👌
Great pictures! Just wondering, how come you use the a7sII (more dedicated to film), and not the a7rII (more dedicated to photo). Not that it really matters, the result is great.
Thank you, I originally picked up the A7sii for video, but found that the low light capability of the camera blew me away and I just don’t need the larger resolution, I don’t print, crop drastically or anything that I need the higher resolution image for right now…maybe one day though
Yea that was one of them for sure, it just came out really clean 👌 it was that or the first one (but probably just because it was the first time I’d try to edit something like that)
You have to practice ! I also had trouble with this. But from a video the guy said you have to start from the lights (whites) dragging them into the darks ! I've never been so frustrated in my life taking pic.s so you not alone 💯 😂😂😂!! Keep snapping 👍!!
Yea practice definitely makes better, I definitely think it’s worth experimenting though just because it’s fun and new! 🙌 glad I’m not alone in that one! 😂 you too! 👍
I mean I can’t say I particularly noticed colour rendering or micro contrast, but then, I wasn’t really looking for it. Maybe Christopher Frost has a more technical review of it?
This is kind of a rare type of videos. Using a a7sii for photography. Glad to see that, I just picked one up relatively cheap especially for low light photography 😊 mainly being a fuji x fanboy, using a x-h1
Well I did originally buy it for video and low light but it turned into my main camera so now I just use it for everything! They’re pretty budget friendly too which is always good 😊 ohh the X-H’s are lovely cameras 👌
I used Fuji X weekly’s recipe, it’s the Portra 400 V2 for the X-Tans 4 sensor so you can’t do exactly the same recipe cause of the option you have in the X100T but a bit of tweaking got it close enough to count I think 😂
Okay, it needs tweaking slightly based on the light but: Classic Chrome Dynamic Range: DR400 Highlight: -1 Shadow: +2 Color: -2 White Balance: Custom, +2 Red & -5 Blue ISO: Auto up to ISO 3200 Exposure Compensation: +1 to +1-1/3 (I was using the older sensor in the X100T)
how many custom user presets does the Fujifilm X100T have so I can assign film recipes to each custom user preset, I want to get recipes for Kodak and illford so I can put them in the custom user presets, I know the brand now Fujifilm X100VI has 7.

Thank you! If I have a choice between the two I will always go camera, not that you can’t take good photos with an iPhone but the experience of using a camera feels more rewarding to me that using my phone 😊
@@Allikkx I’m asking because I absolutely love shooting my dslr and when I take it out with my kids it feels special. Although taking an iPhone instead is so much easier.
@@oemca1919 absolutely, a phone is great for quick snaps and very easy to use, but if you enjoy using your DSLR then you’ll usually get a better quality photo 👌
Great video! Really enjoyed the walk around :) Silly question - but why do you hold the camera and take shots with it portrait? Also, doesn't this negate the point of wide angle?
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! I think it’s mostly just bad habit from always shooting portrait orientation for Instagram 😂 it doesn’t negate it necessarily, just means the image will have a huge field of view from bottom to top (great for tall building and stuff!)… …should probable shoot horizontal a lot more though 😅
@wolfiemedia great starter camera! The widest lens I’ve seen for the RF mount is the 16mm but if you grab an EF/RAF adapter literally everything works! Perfect lens for real estate and interiors! (Never shot that myself but you’d get a lot in the frame for sure!) 🙌
There's something about your POVs that I find both interesting and relaxing at the same time 😁 Whereabouts do you shoot usually? Hello from Milton Keynes Buckinghamshire.
Thank you, I mean I don’t really think all to much about but I’m glad you find them interesting (feel like sometimes I’m usually just rambling to myself as I shoot!) 😂 I usually shoot in Colchester, little down the road from you but not too far!
Some cool images here, well done! Some questions, Aperture Priority or Shutter Priority? ND filter to extend exposure time? IBIS on or off? Thanks again for the vid✌️ subbed btw…
Thank you! It was definitely worth a try! It might not be right but I shot in fully manual, definitely needed an ND filter (I used a variable ND so I could control exposure and just left it on) and turned off stabilisation! Thanks for checking the video out, great to have you here! 🙏
