50mm Photography Is The Best 

More of these please. More just the photography, it’s very fun to hang out and see the process / journey

This was great! You've inspired me to shoot more in my own country. Hope you enjoyed it here :) I've been learning so much from both of you

Just ordered a 50mm F1.4 and I can't wait to shoot with it. New to photography. Waited 25 years to get started. Thanks for the video!

I am 100% in the 50mm (FOV) club. Recently got the 35mm F2 R WR as my first Fuji prime and I LOVE IT.

That close tram shot with the cathedral on top in the back, the lighting and fall off to the left, just incredibly cool, perfect editing in my opinion. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Masterclass. Your best photos have a Cartier-Bresson quality to them. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

Something I have started to do with my photography is that I give myself a style for the day and then try my best to end up with 3 different photos with the same style and can see a clear connection between them. It has helped me learn how to come up with more creative composition of photos and how to photograph normal everyday things and make them seem special

33mm f/1.4 R LM WR is the best XF lens FujiFilm makes IMHO. The sharpness and level of detail you can achieve with that lens and 40MP is mind boggling wonderful. 50mm FF is a fantastically versatile focal length. If I had to pick only one lens this would be it. It was nice seeing you walk around and shoot. I am looking forward to the rest of the series.

Hi Roman, really nice to meet you and James on Saturday. You were very nice!! Best of luck

The fifty never fails! This looks like an amazing town to shoot in.

For me nowadays its 40mm Fullframe or 27mm APS-C. Best focal length

I have a feeling that I will enjoy this series. As always, great photos.

We visited Lisbon last year. Ahhh, the colors! Your photos take me back. Thanks!

Hey Roman, just wanted to say how much I’m enjoying your videos and your creative process. I’ve just bought an XT5, upgrading from my old XT1, and heading on a holiday across Europe soon. Super excited to improve my skills and your videos have been a big motivation to get amongst it. Cheers!

Really enjoyed the delirious caffeine-withdrawal Roman at the start of the video. Very funny and entertaining. Great video.

I use all of the PSAM modes, sometimes changing between them rapidly, depending on what comes up. I'll never understand why anyone defaults to Av mode. Why not use P as your default? With program shift, you can prioritise aperture or shutter speed, in either direction. It is like a joint Av and Tv mode. AEL then becomes a thing you use. I'll use Av when appropriate, but for walking around, anything could happen, photography, P is by far the better default.

Your channel is soo good! These videos showing the walk-around and your composition process is so enriching! I'm nowhere close to be a good photographer, but am enjoying the process so much.

Love the video, also the DJI pocket footage is quietly gorgeous

The 50mm was, for me my, first the focal length that, I used to start taking pictures. I rarely use it today but, I have a lot of nostalgia for it and admiration for photographers like yourself, who use it very well.

16:15. What a photo

Lisbon is absolutely beautiful and charming, especially this neighborhood in the video (Alfama). It brings back so many good memories from when I went there...

One side benefit of the XH2 and XT5 is “sports finder mode,” which allows you to see outside the frame, but does 1.25x crop. It makes the 33 f1.4 act more like a 75mm lens when needed, and reduces file size a bit.

It’s always great to see my two favourite photographers in a video.

Great information on constructing the composition of a photo. Cheers

I'm learning a lot from this video!

2:31 the loud "music" indicates that some brazilians were there.

Really enjoyed this format and the video itself. Made me feel right there on location trying to make something of what I see. Thank you very much

I absolutely love my 50mm lens as well. I bought a 2nd hand Sigma EF 50mm F1.4 ART lens for my 1DX and couldn't be happier. It beats Canon's EF 50mm F1.2 in every aspect while costing significantly less! It's as sharp as a well-honed straight razor when it comes to image quality, even in the corners it's just ridiculous how good this lens is. It's the one lens I would keep if I had to give up all my other lenses!

How I know 50mm is my go-to: When I open the iPhone camera app it's almost muscle memory to switch straight to the 2x 'lens' (48mm equivalent)

An incredible and relaxing street photography video! I'm waiting to see James Popsys' video too! I hope you both enjoyed Portugal, maybe one day you can explore the interior of Portugal (rural areas), I think you'll love it! They're not very busy streets, but they have an incredible "human nature" as James Popsys likes to say...

Such a beautiful city. So much interesting places.

I love this, man. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Seeing this I want to go back again. I love Lisbon.

I've started sharing your videos with non photographer friends because these are just so simple and beautiful...❤

unbelievably gorgeous shots!

Nice to see that you return to Lisbon. Those are some of my favorite spots to walkabout and take some pics, too.

I almost cough my coffee out when Roman said “he or she whatever the pigeon is” 🤣🤣🤣

Will be visiting Lisbon in late March next year and this is wonderful inspiration. Thanks for opening up your process.

Love it! Great video and looking forward to the other focal length videos. Can you talk about your focus square and how you use that with your photography?

“Old cars”? Making me feel old! 😂

Love these kinds of video where u talk to us ur thought process of a taking a photo. Love the new direction u r going with ur channel

Really missed the photo walks, love this

What I find absolutely remarkeable is the fact that you use AF-C and a small focus zone.

My two favourite photographers

Good video of one of my favorite places. I enjoy watching you work in streets that look pretty familiar. Thanks

Loved all your commentary and explaining what you like the look of. Thanks for sharing! Been really enjoying your videos.

“smells of piss here” @3:45 😂😂😂

"ooooh, a dog!"

Great Video, full of inspiring moments, scenes and tipps making me a) to go to Lisbon someday and b) use my 35f1.4 more often - Thanks Roman 👍

Great video, Roman! I have a love-hate relationship with 50mm, but tend to crop the hell out of 28mm or 30mm, so it was good to see some method behind 50mm compositions. Thanks!

Great relaxing and interesting. A perfect watch with my morning coffee

Roman, the hearing of trains in your ears, when no train is present, is called "trainitus" by leading authorities.

Roman and James...an awesome combination of photographers

Last month I got the Ttartisans 35mm f0.95 lens (50mm ff equivalent) this is my first time with this focal length and I love it. Hasn't left my camera since it arrived.

Very interesting to hear your thought process when developing a scene. Good one.

Lisbon is the best. Great food, great nightlife, great scenery, has it all. Shame I went when it was rainy and stormy as hell

I made the mistake (I jest) of getting books of 50mm photos by masters (Bresson, Doisneaux). As a result, I'm walking dozens of miles but barely taking any shots with my new 33mm (50mm equivalent) because I've become obsessed with perfect, almost photojournalistic moments! XD I'll be ok once I get back in my groove. A thing for me to remember is that perfect human moments in photography can be more like 'perfect split seconds', so I have to get really good at anticipating them. Training my technique and spider senses. As an aside, there's an awesome, complex boardgame called Lisboa that is worth a purchase if you fancy having your tactics stretched and have two or three likewise friends. It's about the rebuilding of Lisbon and by a fabulous Lisbon local - Vital Lacerda - who's done some of my favourite (always crunchy / skilful) boardgames.

Amazing video.

video would have been much better if you'd explained how you focused etc

This place is a photographer's nirvana truly.

A6400 Danke für deine tollen Videos. Deine Videos sind fast mein zweites Hobby! Ich freue mich schon auf viele weitere.

Really enjoyed this video and watching your photographic process.

I had so many photos of the Eiffel Tower that on my 4th visit to Paris I tried to capture photos that included it but it was not the subject.

Have fun at the Everest! Cool pictures as always.

Great video , Roman. Always learn something new about a photo perspective. Was in Lisbon a few years ago for 3 days then had to move north to Porto. Camera did a workout.

Great Video, especially for a person who came back home from Lisbon one hour ago 😂 I spent 10 days there including a five day street photography workshop 😁 all the places look very familiar to me

Really enjoyed the video and hearing your thought process! Will be following this series closely!!

This was great, looking foward to the other focal lenghts too

great video! can't wait to see the rest of the series

Great lens series!

Love my Nikon Z 50mm f1.8s lens, super sharp and light❤

Lisbon is on My list thanks for the tour !!!!!!!! ThankYou for reminding me why I carry 2 Nikon Z50 with 24-70mm n 70-375mm(35mm equiv.) always on always ready for anything (( 18-30mm in the bag)) zoom lenses :) :) :) That was My Kit for Europe this summer 8weeks = 8countries 28cities :) :) :) Old Photojournalist, & Freelancer (for nearly 57yrs.) Wild Life :) :) :)

Nonetheless ---> Nevertheless. Perfectionist in photography and perfectionist in language. Love it.

This vid is too much of a coincidence: 1) Visiting Lisbon soon and 2) thinking of what lens to bring. I have a 50mm and 40mm and planning to bring both. I was initially worried if they would work in narrow streets. 3) I've just got Moscot Lemtosh eyeglasses today as my prescription changed. 😎

11:40 that pigeon is doing the moonwalk 😂

Great job Roman!!! You gave me some great ideas on using my 50mm. Cheers 😊

I really enjoyed this video. I would like to see more videos like this!

Although I shoot all primes, 21, 35, 50, 85 and 135... I have to admit, I miss my Pentax HD D-FA* 2.8/70-200. Can't beat a really decent zoom. Trouble was, it weighed 1.75 kilos and with K-1 plus grip and batteries, the whole lot was around 3.25 kilos.

You might try a pc lens and a tripod.

Very cool and informative video.. what do you do with all the pictures that you gave taken?

Roman, a question. I think you were shooting auto shutter speed and iso. My experience of shooting like this is that you blow the glimpses of sky out that you get between buildings. How did you avoid that? And great video 😊

I love your content mate. In fact it has inspired me to impoverish myself with the impulse purchase of an XT3 on eBay. 😂 I am of course using your user guide to get to grips with the camera.

Found you recently and love your stuff! This video is a sign though, just this morning I booked 3 days in Lisbon for the weekend after next and I’ve been looking for a 50mm to replace my last one that developed some haze. And now I open YT to find this video!😂 Need to find a 50mm before I visit Lisbon! Keep it up Roman!

Really fun, insightful video! Love seeing you guys going out on these photo walks together! Two of my favorite photography channels! Correct me if i’m wrong, it looks like you’re both rocking the Bellroy camera sling?

Jolie promenade dans Lisbonne. Je remarque que nous avons les mêmes sujets (le bord du Tage, le maat, l'expo de Joana Vasconcelos, les tram dans l'Alfama... ). J'aime bien vos photos. Peut-être un jour prochain dans Lisbonne. Ate Breve.

Yea.. lisbon... = tram photo.. and more tram photo.. you know it as well. nonetheless.. good place and weather

I LOVE this style of the video. Do you mind please sharing whether you have used a microphone to film this or what the micro camera is on you?

Great location and shots. I wonder if people or vehicles get hit by the trams. They move fast and the streets are narrow…

I really miss Lisbon

Really nice content - I follow you now for a long time thx for it Which gear do you use for filming? Is it also a Fuji and which lense do you use?

Excellent video. Hop a train to Sintra if you have time. An interesting area just to the west.

I agree

Is there a reason that you don’t use 2 hands to hold the camera when photographing?

How do you avoid camera shake shooting like that?

Plenty of character in the streets.

Wait.. are you sure aperture changes with focal length factors? I mean, sure, a FF sensor has a larger surface area with which to capture light, but the F stop of the lens does not change. The amount of light captured by a ff sensor at f2 is the same amount of light captured by a M43 sensor , but on the M43 sensor, the surface area is smaller. Its like looking to the middle of the ff sensor. Also, the focal length doesnt change as well, but the DOV does. The measurement that means focal length is the same regardless of sensor size,

14:36 - Or just carry a shift lens. :)

Missed the green door with the green bush. Cut the bush off.

I enjoy your videos and especially your pictures. Do you always shoot in RAW or do you use any of the simulations in JPEG?

Was the video mostly shot on the DJI Osmo Pocket 3? Or which shots were the Pocket vs your Fuji? It’s really amazing either way
