After I recorded the video I realized that Viltrox has a 28mm F1.8 for Sony. Somehow I ignored that.

In your video, you actually answered your question. The compacts has the 28mm. that is the reason why companies are not making a 28mm, it's because they are saving it for the compact cameras.

One of my favorites for the micro four-thirds is the Panasonic-Leica 15mm F1.7 (30mm). It's not quite a 28 but it's awfully close. It's compact, sharp, and a superb option for this type of photography.

I believe the wider you go, the more skill of composition and light capture you need. As an amateur, even 35mm feels too wide for me to get good results, let alone 28mm or 24mm. Hats down to pro's like you who can get results from 24mm or 28mm 🎉

Fuji's 18mm 1.4 or f2 has a 27mm field of view. Also, the X100v has a 28mm conversion lens that works very well. I use it all the time.

@borderlands6606 Год назад

The optimum focal length is a function of how close you are comfortable shooting people. In crowded, elbow-to-elbow situations 20mm is not too wide, but 28mm is a good compromise. A lot of classic black and white New York street photography was shot on a 28.

28 mm should be used to tell a story. They're fantastic for street photography if you get close. They're wonderful lenses for everyday shooting. You'll get a deeper depth of field than you will with a 35mm lens. I just love it but that's my opinion.

Definitely need a compact high quality 28mm prime for a walkabout one prime lens solution. 24mm a bit wide for people and 35mm a bit narrow for landscapes. The 28mm FL is a good compromise.

I love 28mm, but I started as a film photographer. 28 seems to be more popular with folks that came through film. In film, I shot Contax with Zeiss lenses. The 28 was my go-to street and wide. I still use that lens adapted. I have larger cameras and use the HUGE Sigma Art 28mm f1.4 DG HSM, that is an incredible lens, one of their best ones, but it is huge!!!!!!!!!!!!!. It was released with one of their best , the Sigma Art 105 f1.4 DG HSM and the 40 f1.4 DG HSM

I often carry a 28 and a 35 simultaneously. Love both; each has its strengths. I find the 35 to be more useful more of the time.

@ledheavy26 Год назад

28mm has always been my favorite wide angle lens. Coming from the film days I had 24mm lenses labeled "super wide", nowadays that label seems laughable with how prevalent ultra wides are now. 24mm was always just too wide for me to really walk around as my prime lens and I never really cared for 35mm. Imo if I could only choose two it would be 28mm and either 40 or 50mm. For many years I just shot a 28-70 2.8 zoom and never wanted for anything else aside from an occasional 16mm fisheye shot.

For me the Fujifilm XF18 1.4 is the lens i really like using for Party- / Eventphotography. Especially for kind of Dancefloor shots and so on.

@PROWATCHES

Canon 28mm RF f/2.8 pancake is small and light, with great color, contrast, sharpness, and character

@geofff6671

I think novices are too easily wowed into thinking they need ultra wides. But in most cases 28mm is far more useful and doesn’t rely on gimmicky perspective distortion.

@edwin_ac

Just saw this video. I have the same dilemna. I previously owned a Lumix 7-14mm and a Pentax MX 1 (1/1.7" sensor, 28-105mm equivalent lens). Both of which I love shooting on the 28mm equivalent focal length.

@geogu3images Год назад

28mm focal length discussions always sound like this. Even Leica Q/Q2 shooters and GR3 fans simultaneously praise and grumble about its limitations. But you’re correct, Sony shooters are deficient in 28mm options which would give us an equivalent focal length which our Leica friends prefer. So having said that, I managed to get a great deal on a Leica CL with the 18mm pancake lens - 35mm crop equivalent of 27mm, and whoops, I’m really liking that focal length (and the camera, dang). But I’m hard pressed to leave a nifty 50 or one of my many 35mm options for 28mm, because I crop a whole lot less..

@PanAmStyle Год назад

When I started out I had a 50 (of course) then got a 35. After that my tutor discouraged me from getting a 28 because it was too close to a 35. When I eventually got a 28 I determined that his advice wasn’t really appropriate for me. The 28 opened up a whole new world. Over the years I also discovered that a ~40mm was the “real” normal lens.
