Streets and alleyways

Posted by Introvert Diaries on

Took out the X-T30ii for a lunch time walk with the Viltrox Evo 75mm f1.8. I decided to shoot everything at 160 ISO and f1.8 today. This is probably the sharpest lens wide open that I have. Weather was nice and sunny, so had to change the settings to use both mechanical and electronic shutter, to avoid over exposing.

Even though the lens is really sharp, I found 75mm on a crop sensor to be a bit challenging for a lunch time walk. There were a lot people out and about enjoying the weather. It was too tight for compositions I liked, without constantly having to walk further back. I usually like this length as I would rather observe from a distance, rather be part of the scene. I may take the same walk with a 56mm next time to see if that works better.
