Going Wide: 6 Tips on How I Stepped Out of My Comfort Zone with a 24mm Lens
Join me on a photographic journey where I break through my usual boundaries, inspired by the legendary Alan Schaller and nudged by a friend's enthusiasm for the Leica Summilux 24mm lens. Despite my initial skepticism after some unimpressive test shots in Singapore, my curiosity tingled, leading me to give this often overlooked focal length another shot.
Now, after re-exploring and truly embracing the unique perspective of the 24mm, I've come to love its wide view that adds a new dimension to my work. In this video, I'll unveil the pros, the cons, and six essential tips for mastering the 24mm lens-even if you're someone who's never been a fan of going wide.
So stick around until the end of the video for a literal taste of Taiwan!

Thanks for your support! :)
Nicely done, and good advice here. I like the rendering and more compact size of the 2.8/24 Elmarit

Thank you for you support, as always! I will definitely make more videos in 2024!
Love this. I was planning to get the Fuji Natura 24mm but was initially intimidated by the wide lens.
Seems like 24mm just became part of your comfort zone. Great photos. I bought this lens last month as well and haven't been using it enough.

It really is! I never thought I would like it so much.
I used to shoot mostly on a 100mm equivalent focal length (m43) Im now on a fuji and i am trying to feel more Comfortable with wider lenses... Its overwhelming for me...

I totally get you. It takes time to adjust the distance and also comes down to where you live and how sensitive people are to the cameras.
When I moved from Fuji to Leica, I knew I wanted a 50mm, but wasn’t sure which wide angle to add. 35 was too close so I used the 24mm f/3.4, which I really enjoyed. Ended up upgrading to the 24mm f/1.4 and have just started to understand how to best use it. Like you said, getting close, using the background to tell a story and shooting at wide open results in very unique pictures.

Thanks for sharing. I can imagine that on the Fuji with the EVF, the whole experience will be so good!

Appreciate it.
I’m doing something similar - switching up from my 28mm focal length of choice to 50mm.

That’s a nice move. 50mm is my fav.
Great to have your spouse sharing the same passion. I'd say your wife has more unique shots compared to yours. Cheers!
