RE: Ill-equipped Black and White Film Shooting

I remember shooting a one take indie music video with a 50mm f/1.4 lens with my Canon 5D MKII -- I actually didn't have much of an idea what I was doing but I loved the natural depth of field and framing of the subject. It also helps that it was at night-time with some street lights in the background.

Anyway, I realised at some point down the line the same thing as you did when trying to capture architecture and opted for a 16-35mm. Perhaps I will be brave enough to go prime lens one day!

Great shots!

My favourite lens so far is absolutely my 85mm F1.8 Sony FE prime, I love that thing so much. Definitely not suitable for interior shots, but outdoors in open settings and for portraits of people and objects, it's beautiful. Low light is where it really flourishes.

My dream would be to get one of the (more consumer friendly) anamorphics. Those cinematic shots and lens flares just really pull me in. Especially that oval bokeh!
