- In this video I talk about what I think is the perfect everyday, travel & street focal length & lens. The Sony 40mm 2.5G Lens, a lens that pairs perfectly with the Sony a7cii or A7cr. I spend a in Hiroshima, Japan shooting with it.

i love your shot at 4:47!
@@bharathwaajd thank you 🙏🏼
I always love hearing how you see it and what you look for. I was using 50mm really heavily for a while, but I can totally see using 40 because it can work between somewhat wide and nearly portrait. Neat!
Thanks for watching, I think that's it's biggest draw for me, that perfect sweet spot
So passionate about your photography and sharing this with your followers. Really enjoyed this video gives a real insight.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
To each their own, I tried to like the 40mm but always tend to lean more towards the 35mm when I'm in that range. 50mm is an okay focal length but I would rather jump to 85mm generally. If I were going to grab an everyday focal length for walking out and about. I'd pick 35 or 85 depending on where I am going, but either would work just fine. My favorite is the 85mm though.
The lenses for the 40mm are really cool for their size, I am glad people are able to enjoy them.
I actually have a video coming out about the 40 & 85mm and personally thats a killer combo. I always personally found 35 a little too wide for some reason, maybe i need to pick one up and have a play with it
Good lens to take out with you on a walk. Little longer than a 35mm, shorter than a 50mm. Just right. Great sharp lens.
That's it mate, love it!
I went with viltrox I love it
I heard really good things. How are you finding it?
Love the lens! Wish it was f2.0..
@@streetsbydenis I guess it might not be as small if it is was f2?
40mm is under rated mostly because manufacturers don't see it as a strong hold and give us some cheap shit. I had the Canon 40mm pancake it was cheap but easy to carry i'm glad Sony beef up this little lens, got 3 years with it and it still look brand new.
haha this is the closest us Sony users will ever get to a pancake lens I guess and i'm loving its size coming from zoom lenses and bigger primes
28 and 40mm.
A nice combo 👌🏻
1:45 What are you talking about? There have been lenses of all mm made since hand held film cameras were first invented. Voigtlander have been making 40mm lenses from the 60s, the Pentax 40mm was one of their most popular 35mm lenses etc. It's so frustrating when people discover a focal length for the first time and then act like no-one else has ever heard of it.
Im not saying i've discovered a new focal length or acting like no one has heard of it as you said its nothing new however prior to 2021 there wasn't an 40mm prime lens available for Sony, maybe I should have made that clearer.
Bro, something wierd with your video sound. Sometimes it is STEREO sometimes is MONO
ahhh yeah, its when i'm switching from my rode mic to the DJI mic.
