35mm as a versatile “walk around” focal length!
Thanks, Robert, Robert for sharing your experience.
I am pleased to confirm that you could do so much with approximately a focal length of 35mm.
I have just purchased 40mm Canon pancake lens for my Fuji GFX. With a multiplication of approximately factor of 0.85, this get to match ~34mm. The setup is extraordinary lightweight and far more discrete than my impressive and stellar Fuji 32-64mm Fuji zoom.
For years I used just Pentax with one 50mm Super Multi Takamur lens. But your picture here does indeed benefit from having a conveniently available 118mm equivalent reach to frame in one shot.
The fact that the amazingly angled boat is in silhouette, (and best that way), means that zooming with one’s feet, with my previously single 50mm lens photography could have a similar look, despite a difference in perspective.
Right now, with my 50MP Fuji and the 40mm Pancake lens I could approach the view you achieved by simply cropping. But could the eye recognize the difference?
