I love how changing lenses is like changing cartriges on a videogame. It's still the same console with the same controls, but you play a very different game, it changes how you look, how you walk, what catches your eye. I love my 85mm because it's all about finding the right crop, whereas with the 24 it's about combining elements
I really love the photo @16:31 The geometry is striking, but it also feels like there is story telling here which is truly of the place. The dark varnished wood is literally bringing nature inside by reflecting the yellow from the leaves echoes the incredible open structure of these Japanese wooden temples. Maybe it could be tweaked by either getting a better angle on the house in the background, or by obscuring the distracting white warning sign, but I think all the ingredients of a truly exceptional photo are here.
really love the idea of not needing to fit everything into the frame everytime! And your explanation for how each photo is taken are really helpful. thank you!
I found you with a research on the 85mm and now I'm super happy to see you using it again! My feedback is similar to what other ph wrote, it can be a super lens and at the same time can be really tricky. Keep going Adrien, big hug for you
85mm is simultaneously my favourite and least favourite focal length 😆 It's so good when it works and so frustrating when it's the wrong lens. The fairly poor minimum focus distance/maximum magnification on most of them makes them quite inflexible as an all-day lens. But when it works it's really nice!
man o man, yesterday i was in Miyajima.. It was a beautiful day and sunset. Just came back to the US today. But all my trip i was watching your videos and taking inspiration on your viewpoint of Japan. Traveled Tokyo, Osaka Kyoto and some more. I somehow thought to myself, i hope to meet Adrien in the street. That would have been a great story to tell. haha greay videos keep em coming. Japan is a magical place everyday
That sounds like an amazing trip! Glad my videos could be an inspiration for your journey. It's a shame we did not meet. Happy that you enjoyed Japan :)
85mm is probably my favorite now. I feel like the ability for it to easily isolate point of interest and also bring the background closer to the subject is an interesting mix. I also tried shooting some street with 70-200 with similar idea. Watching your channel made me tried more with 35 and 50, both were much less utilized focal length for myself. Having had the chance to visit Miyajima last November, but it being literally my first spot after a day of plane/train/automobile, I feel like I've not done it justice, also underestimated a lot of the hikes. Would love to go again, also go during the higher water....
A nouveau une superbe vidéo ! Débutant et utilisant principalement un 75mm, cela me plaît de te revoir utiliser un format presque similaire : tu es une grande source d'inspiration.
Great photo's as usual! I really enjoy the 85mm focal length, cause it challenges me to think about what the focus of the photo is through framing and limited field of view.
Hi Adrien, your works is amazing. Can you also make a tutorial on how you edit/color grade your POV? Thanks! All the best! Are you using DJI pocket 3 for POV? Also may i know if youre shooting at log? Thanks!!!
glad to see the 85mm back it’s interesting to see how your style is a bit different to how it used to be in the old 85 mm videos. Beautiful video as always. Also is it hard to get to miyajimai don’t speak any Japanese but I’m going to Hiroshima in a few weeks .
Thanks for your comment, it's a lens I want to re-learn to use. It's very easy, you take the tram or train to Miyajimaguchi and then a ferry that takes only 10min to the island.
Really interesting topic! I just switched to 35mm from 85mm to improve my composition skills so that's talking to me :) And man, I'm so jealous of that light you are getting in Japan. Here in Switzerland, we are entering the never-ending overcast season so I'm struggling a bit for shooting, but I guess it's just something to learn as well. I would be curious to know how you approach film making, by the way, did you plan on making a video about this topic one day? Overall, really pleasant video to watch, as usual, and I can't wait to see the next one!
Yeah, the weather in Switzerland isn't exactly ideal for photography at this time of year, especially at wider focal length like 35mm. Yes I could do a video about film making in the future ;)
I’m in the same boat, deciding between between this and the Sigma 90 i-series for my A7Cii. My heart says Sigma because of all metal build, aperature ring and smaller/lighter. But that 1.8 on the Sony makes be think twice.
Here I was thinking the 85f1.8 was remarkably small and light. 371g vs 295g for the sigma. Will that be noticeable? Definitely huge points for being a gorgeous lens and having an aperture ring.

Totally agree, thanks for your comment :)
The photo at 11:45 honestly blew me away by how it turns out, good work as always!
Thanks :))
Another [French] Adrien who used to live in Japan here :-) The intentional camera shaking is mindblowing, love your content!

Perfectly summed up what I've been feeling but didn't know how to express
Yes I 100% agree lol
this lens can take stunning images 😍

I enjoy watching your videos sir.
love the vid. would love to see more of how you would use the 85mm to frame and tell stories
Thanks, will try to use the 85mm more often ;)
Merci pour la vidéo. Bravo pour vos photos.

Just great stuff as always man ❤
Glad you enjoy it!

85mm certainly my go to portrait lenses for weddings.
Finally honesty 😅

@ thank you for your reply, excited to see more with this lens. Good luck
Would love to know how you setup your pov footage

I have the Zeiss Batis 85mm. I love the images that thing takes so much.
Do you make a tutorial video on the colors like these photos?
I think my all time favorite focal length for me is 50mm on APS-C (Especially my nikon 50mm 1.8G lens)
50mm makes a 75 on APS-C, it is a great focal length! I think I prefer 75 over 85 but 85 is the lens I have
The 85mm, the reason I found your channel!
Do you use a chest mount for the pocket 3?
No I always hold it with my hand ;)
I’m thinking about the sigma 90mm f2.8 for a compact telephoto lens that I’ll use about 10% of the time
Funny you say this because I was thinking of trying it out very soon 🤓 It’s smaller and lighter than the 85 and I love Sigma lenses in general 👍🏻
I'm gonna have this lens soon. Sigma colors is great imo

@@kevinandersson2133 Just really think about it. 4 stops in aperture vs colors and compactness of sigma 90mm

On dirait bien que la dame à 3:50 ne voulait pas être dans ta vidéo 😅
🤣I noticed too. something in Hindi I think.
I just bought an 85mm as my first ever lens last weak
Wish me luck :)
Wishing you luck. I did the exact same when I got my a7cii a few months ago, it's a steep learning curve, but the photos are amazing when it works!
@AlexandreHebertChevalier Thank you, mate. Do you have some tips?
@@alef3356 My biggest tip would be to not only shoot the 85mm wide open at 1.8 🙃
@@AlexandreHebertChevalier lol, I was thinking about doing that 🥲
Good luck! You'll have a blast!
What !? I have done photography since 1979, every time I use a 85mm Lens, it just feels so easy to use and get excellent images with the 85mm Lens !!!
