I am 71 yo Leica photograph since i was 16 yo. I have always used 50mm 95% of the time including for landscape.
That's a very long love relationship with both Leica and the 50mm. Wonderful.
I'm 80! Most of my images done with 50mm on my M3, 57 years in my use). It's the easiest to frame on M3, prefer the perspective! The 50mm is the least expensive lens? f2 is more than enough! In recent years due to more and more folks everywhere, need 35mm, to get near my subjects.. I think 35mm is the new choice, because the best large frame in VF. Bravo!
Thanks. The 35mm is definitely a good choice too and with all the Fuji X100 out there it is definitely a mainstream choice. As classic as the 50mm.
I have gear addiction for everything I do, a symptom of my ADHD I expect. Thankyou for reminding me what I have is enough, I have a fujifilm xt-1 with a 35mm manual focus/aperture lens and I should just use it and learn my gear and style.
Exactly 👍 Simply stay with what you have.
Wow. I am glad to see your new video and appreciate your informative content that gives me a clear answer to my question. Your picture inspired me for a new perspective of 50mm for landscape photography. Thanks again and will keep watching your next Video.
Much appreciated. Thanks 📷
I got into photography solely to shoot my own reference material for oil painting. When I started everyone said “oh you’re gonna need a wide angle for landscapes!” So I did. The strangest thing was, while as a photograph a wide angle distortion looks cool, it does NOT work in a painting. I can’t explain exactly why. Both are visual, 2 dimensional images, but wide angle just doesn’t translate to painting. I think Bresson somehow figured this out and that’s why he used a 50.
It’s true. Painting is a different thing. My wife is a professional artist too so I know from her work how it is a different style and skill.
The 50mm is just more natural for my personal style and is more true to what I see. All a personal preference in the end.
@@MortenAlbekPhotography I switched to a 50mm for most things as well. For a while I thought I was a 35mm guy, then I realized I was cropping my 35mm to roughly a 50mm frame anyway. So I just got a 50. Then another. Then another. Now I don’t even know how many I have. Haha.
Your M9 looks gorgeous, I’ve been an m6 shooter for several years but I’m thinking of getting an M digital for a bit more convenience. Does the M9 give the filmic feel of the M8? Love your video btw, I’ve subscribed.
The 50mm wide-angle lens on my 6x7cm medium format camera is a personal favorite of mine.
:-) We all have our favourite lens.
Photography for money is not a profession, it is a trade.
😀👍
Glad to see that there is somebody else still using the M9! By the way, what filter are using on it? ND?
I really love this camera more and more. Yes, its an ND filter to step down light because I often shoot wide open. On sunny days its necessary.
@@MortenAlbekPhotography Indeed. Have you tried magnetic filters for speed?
@@franciscoscaramanga2342 Not yet. Still have to try that out.
@@MortenAlbekPhotography It's really easy and fast. Very convenient.
Thank you for this video, I have subscribed. Can I give you some feedback? The camera that filmed you as you spoke varies the recording quality, dropping and rising in resolution. It is also under-exposing most of the time. Additionally, when listened to through headphones, the sound has an uneven left-right dynamic. These are technical issues, that once resolved, will enhance the overall quality of your excellent and highly appreciated input. I look forward to seeing more of your videos, thank you.
There are no issues when I play it from here. But thank you.

Love your video btw, I’ve subscribed. With respect to 50mm for landscape…I’m currently exploring film landscapes with a Hasselblad 80mm (60mm equiv.) it’s liberating, I now see the world with a 50mm eye, which is opening up some really interesting opportunities.
Thanks. I started with Leica digital cameras with the M8 and then moved to M9 because it is better. There is a better picture quality from the M9 compared to the M8 and a very film-like feeling to it. I will stick with this camera for a very long time.
I love your video, I am using the 50mm 1.8G in my D700. It's special frame and it's great study.
Subbed cheers 📷❤️
