    You capture the true essence of NYC bro, making me miss my old home!
  • @philjones2697
    Feel the same way dude. Was getting a bit bored with the 85 and ended up loving the 35. Some great shots in here too bud.
  • @selishots
    35mm is my absolute favorite focal length. It's so versatile and you can really have a lot of fun with it. Great video dude! Keep them coming
  • @easebeats
    That clip of the escalator in the intro is so good!
  • @sampressley4371
    35mm is such a versatile focal length, first lens I picked up when I switched to Sony. Keep up the great work fam
  • @iamshayt
    such good work man! 35mm is the best focal length!
  • Nice video 🙏 also a big fan of 35 :) my favorite! Just shot a beach wedding entirely with a 50 and that felt like a great compromise in that setting. Look forward to more vids :)
  • @sauzefilms
    in my case i'm going from 28mm to 35mm and even tho it's only a 7mm difference i did not expect it'd challenging af to compose lol, had to google 35mm focal length videos for inspos. thanks for the video and great images.

    Awsome watch bro 🔥🔥🔥 and 😂 about the free lens 💪
  • @sangfroidstrut
    yo funny b/c i mess around with the 27 on occasion & it definitely makes me adjust how i’m composing my shots….that said i can’t front i’m still an 85mm devotee😅…but i love 50 for my film work…really nice frames in these fam, loving the way you’re putting these vids together 👊🏼✨
  • @bb_frames
    35mm gang 🤜 dude I went through basically the same progression focal-length wise. And now I basically only use 35 and 50.. I think you’ll enjoy the 50 as well
  • @Justaperson717
    You don't need to have a full frame camera in order to use a crop mode. X100V for example can do it too.
  • @janromo9753
    Great vid, 35 is my bag and now playing with 75/85, very fun to change things us… On the giveaway(I know i am late). But: Why don’t you allow non us residents to apply, but us pay the additional shipping charge. (Via paypal or something) Happens so often with US based creators a bit frustrating.
  • I do love a 35mm lens, but I think if I had to pick just 1, it'd be 50mm. I just think 50mm is the perfect middle ground between the 35mm and the 85mm focal lengths

    Bruh in about 2 weeks I'm also going to make a 1 year with the 35mm for street photography video haha. I had the same issue with 85mm, it felt so fun at the start because I didn't have to get close and then it became boring and restrictive. Now the 85mm is 90% used for car photography, portraits and events but other than that it sits there collecting dust.
