Why I Like the Fujiifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 for Street Photography
Today’s video is (kind of) brought to you by a survey I posted to YouTube and Instagram, asking which lens you would like to see me use in my next street photography video. The options were: Viltrox 23mm f/1.4, Fujinon XF 33mm f/1.4, Fujnon XF 50mm f/1.4 and Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8. And the winner was… the XF 50mm f/2! But, I thought the vote would go with the 33mm, so that’s what I planned to use. This is why I don’t play the lottery… I now owe you all a future video with the XF 50mm f/1.4. Stay tuned!
One of the reasons I really like the Fujinon XF 33mm f/1.4 is that it provides a field of view equivalent to 50mm on a full frame camera, and I find that works well for lots of scenarios in street photography. Also, the 33mm f/1.4 focuses quickly and quietly and has lovely image quality. It’s becoming one of my favorite prime lenses.
The weather for this session started sunny with lots of contrast, but quickly turned to cloudy flat light. One of the street photographer’s best friends is flexibility, so I started looking for subjects that would work better in this light. I also took some time to experiment with longer exposures for intentional camera movement, panning and motion blur. I really enjoy the extra layer of feeling that creating blur in an image adds to the photo and plan to incorporate more of this in future street photography. Stay tuned for that, as well!
