    Super interesting that 50mm is 80% of your wedding work! I feel like not enough photographers support this.
    Honestly cracked up at the last bit 😂

      Everyone has their own way of doing things, I think I’ve just found my rhythm. We’ll see if that changes with my switch to Fuji when next wedding season comes.
      Haha the bit where I just CBF finishing the video properly, and then compare it to a toilet? 🥲

    100% agree Ethan. I used to shoot either 24 or 85 on Sony and slowly came to realize it wasn't for me. Felt like I was forcing it. I still found 35 to be too wide as well. 90% of my work is on the 33 1.4 or the 80 1.7. Although with the GFX, I find the 80 1.7 can be too tight and feels like an 85 on FF (even though its wider at 63). Waiting on a good deal for the 55 1.7 and I'll snag that, sell my 80 1.7.

      Yeah, I feel like 50 is the focal length all photographers end up at in time. I wish the 55 1.7 were a bit snappier to focus, but it’s a real gem when you give it time and space to do its thing.

      I just wish they had a 28 equivalent on the GFX as still on the fence. But I will buy one soon. How’s the 30mm?

      @@jasonmarkharris yeah I feel ya! I love 28. For me, at the moment at least, the system is all about extra special portraits, which the 55 nails.
      The 30mm is great, mega sharp and quick to focus. I haven’t done much serious shooting with it but have enjoyed the little bits I’ve done with it.

      @@ethanlowryphotography I have a friend selling a 50r with 50mm for a great price so might just snag that for fun as my entry into the GFX system. I have used all the 50mp versions and preferred the rangefinder style. Really hoping the do a gfx 50/100v style model with fixed lens.
      I definitely want the 55mm though. 💯
