You say your English is “not so good.” I love your clean, clear, honest delivery. Your English, by the way, is very good!

you do have an accent, but hey what counts more is what is being told and that is just interesting... I just like your laid-back narrative style!

These POV videos tell so much more than what you could tell by word about how you find your shots. 10/10.

@@SamuelStreetlife These videos are amazing! Please do more videos like this! Thank you for all your work!

Throughout the years I’ve bought (and still own) 24mm, 28mm, 35mm, 40mm, 50mm, and 85mm primes , as well as a 24mm - 120mm zoom, and I definitely know which I used the most and which I use the least. If I could only own one lens it would be the 35mm - but I wouldn’t be very happy. But if I could only own two it would be the 28mm and the 50mm. Those two as a team really can handle a lot of situations.

Can't agree with you more. I like variety but ultimately I try to only pair 2 lenses at a time.

I love the "through the evf" point of view!! It's so much fun watching you catch the shot!

I’d like to point out how happy that family makes me feel at 4:28

My favorite focal length is 28mm - I think that it's your favorite focal length too since you grabbed a Ricoh GR at the end. 28 mm takes in enough of the background to put your subject in it context, making for a better "story". 50 mm tends to isolate the subject, making your photo look like a page out of a field guide.

In my Canon days 50 & 85mm were my main tools and 35 was only accessory. It all changed with the X100 and 35mm became my favorite focal lens. Now I wanna try 24mm. Things change and your videos help so thank you Samuel!

Perfect ending. I laughed out loud. nice one.

Phenomenal work. Raising the bar here. Loved this video and really showing how and why these lenses differ. Great work brother!

Thanks for the shout out Samuel 🙏🏻

You should do more of those POVs. It really help us to understand your and potentially our awareness and what you and us would go for.

Este es el mejor canal de youtube de street photography, gracias por tanto genio!!

Love the POV! Based on how wide I'm shooting, my shooting style completely changes.

Thank you for doing all this man. You are of great help! Your videos are extremely helpful and inspiring!

I am so glad to have come across this video! I recently bought a 35mm XC lens, and fell into that mistake of thinking it gave a 35mm focal length. However I actually really like the idea of finding better isolation in subjects with my 50mm focal length, and your examples of how to approach a scene really help

I love the POV! I need to learn how to do this. Great video, I love the content and you pulled some nice snaps. Well done.

Thanks for the fresh and informative perspective. Great work!

You did well! Good enough to show how to get those shots in your eyes! Thank you for the inspirations ! Love your styles of shooting ! I love candid shots too! I am still learning .

Another great video and loving the in camera POV. My key take away is how lens choice relates to both the look that you are going for and the techniques used ie cutoff and fishing.

Revisted this video for a second time..also loving the jazzy music! We Appreciate you!

Thanks for showing the use of different lens real time, it is very educational for me by understanding how you use each lens. Please do more of this.

That was definitely a pretty good video, Sam! Thanks very much for the effort and insights!

Excellent idea of POV vs photos!!! Thank you for sharing your tips 👌

this video is 18 minutes long and it felt like 5 lol great video Samuel!

Thanks for the video. Over the decades, I have tried 21, 24, 28, 35, 40, 45, 50, and 55mm for one lens/one full-frame body street photography. All worked well. The 24, 35, and 50mm lenses work well alone or with others. Here are three three-lens kits that I like to use for street photography: 24/50/105 24/35/85 24/35/90

That ending was brilliant haha 👍🏼

You did a great job on this video. It really is informative.

Cool, and the end is even cooler. Thank you!

That was great, thank you Samuel!

I really enjoyed the screen being recorded here. Nice alternative, but more work I guess on the edit and all the gear that you need to walk with. Well done!

Your videos always make me happy! I found with the Ricoh that 9/10 times I would crop the image in post to around 35mm equivalent, so I use a 50mm and a 35mm for virtually all my work now.. I love how close Gilden would get to his subjects, but I like just a little more space incase I have to step out the way of in-coming fists! 😉

This was such a unique video, love the 'in-camera' pov

Brilliant video, clearly showing a real-time example of each focal length.

Great video! I've actually been debating on which lens to buy next, leaning towards the 23 mm.

Love this format

Those pictures at the end were very artistically done. Excellent photos!

Love your channel, you’re a good teacher

You actually took very good photos and the colour of the images are beautiful. 👌🏼

that aquarium in the street is sick. What great idea !

Thanks for the video, very helpful.

I love your content !!! Just came across your KZread and is so good ! Thanks 😊

This is really helpful! And, your English is just fine.

Love this pov style from the evf!

Awesome video, Samuel! Paul Klee would be proud of your fish tank photography demonstrations

Love the ending expression haha!

i shot leica for years loved the 50mm and the 28mm. the 35 was kinda this strange focal length that was either too wide or too tele if that makes sense. the 28 is amazing for close up street work and the 50 just seemed so natural and cinematic to me. 35 to me was the red headed step child in my family.

Fantastic video!! I wish you make more like this! 👏👏💪

28mm MASTER FOCAL LENGTH! I personally like 28mm too.

Very good example video to show how different your own photos look like with different focal lengths. 👍 I would include 85mm too because it looks like it becomes a new trend to use an even more isolating length.(monaris, sixstreetunder) Could you tell where you get that black square lens hood? I'am looking for quite some time to get one. (germany)

Man that suspense at the end !!! :)

Thank u for the informative and the humorous discussion on street lens...j

Fantastic video … as always! Thank you.

Another great video - no surprise! I shoot my street at 14mm (21mm equiv) but I like to get in really close. If not close enough I really love the "commotion" in a lot of my images. It works for me.

Great episode man.... 🤩

Definitely one of your best (educational) videos so far! ✌️ An EVF nighttime video like that would be nice too 😎

This makes me want all three! (or a zoom with click-stops in between, if there was such a thing) But I can definitely see how 35 seems the most natural to me out of these, and why 40 was popular on old film rangefinders like the Canonet.

Samuel, I wanted to say, your videos are classic! 😉

Really well done... great pictures and great comments... thank you

Hey, this gave a lot of info i was just thinking if you could make same video with actual 50mm lens...

Thank you for the lens comparison! Also, you have Very good English! Great job!

This video is great. Perfect advices with Examples. I will buy a prime 24mm lens. Your examples opened my mind. Congratulations and keep going.

LIKE especially for the final scene

I'm loving my 40mm. What are your thoughts on 85mm for street photography?

I love this video format! I shoot with the xpro2 and xt1 and it’s great to see what settings you’re using to get certain images! Can’t wait to try some of these!

Hi ..loved the video ... can you please share for how you shot this POV video as i would love to understand this technique on my videos too .

This is helpful, thank you

Bro your work is amazing!! Btw...Where can I find your music?

nice comparison of focal length. how do you do that POV video?

Great tips thanks

Thanks for the Vid Samuel, really enjoyed. Liked the last few cheeky seconds where you grabbed the Ricoh GR. Does this mean your fave focal length is 28mm?

Hey! Not sure if was a question before but I also do street photography and wonder how you attached your actioncam to your camera? I use a gopro on my chest what is a good look but I like your idea as well and maybe want to apply to my set up too.

There's something about B&W that makes everything more dramatic.

Great video, enjoyed it! Bought myself 35mmf2 but didn’t know it is really 50mm. Going to 23mm next

Nurlan Baytok 35f2 is my favorite lens out of the whole lineup. Hope you are enjoying it!

28/40/55-60 are my favourites! Plus 28mm fx is a 40mm on dx- very nice.

Hi Samuel, I liked a lot your video and the last photos you put on the video were really good and inspiring. I don´t know so much about famous street photographers and It would be nice a video about them for inspiration.

That GR sticker on the fujifilm body dhooo dayum

Despite your concern, the difference in field of view and framing was VERY clearly shown in this video. The switching made it fresh. Lots of great images too!

GREAT VIDEO! I'm using a 12-24mm DX lens and a classic 50mm and BOTH are helpful in the street! :) Thanks!

Interesting.. I much prefer 35/50 full frame. Tried with the 16 once. Felt I was running round loads to get closer to the shots I wanted. 👍🏻😊

Got me at the end haha! Awesome video, subscribed for more :)

do you shoot with viewfinder or screen in this video? it looks like you didn't disturb the scene much when you shoot.

Well done video. I would like to see you work these lens in a deeper social context. It might be difficult in such a prosperous neighborhood.

Excellent video, Samuel. I see you like the 18/28mm (APSC/Full-frame) perspective. Fuji has an 18mm f/2. One day, do a shoot with that lens and tell us what you think of it.

Do u have a video of how you are doing this so subtly/ how do u do ur street photography
