This Lens Could Change How You Take Photos

Have you ever tried a lens that has just changed everything? One that has made you reconsider how you approach every shot. Well, this Fujifilm lens might do it for you.

This video by Eren Sarigul focuses on one lens — the Fujifilm 56mm f/1.2 — and how it changed how he takes photographs. Well, I have had that experience too; twice in fact. For me, the Canon 135mm f/2 L and the Fujifilm GF 110mm f/2 R LM WR had a drastic impact in how I approach photography. Both are relatively similar in terms of effective focal length and widest aperture, and perhaps that's why I like them so but, but they hand differently. What grabbed me about these two primes is the filmic quality that came out of every shot.

When I first bought the Canon, I kept it on hand like a secret weapon for shoots. I found it difficult to take an image I didn't like. Gradually, the effects wore off somewhat, though not completely, only to be reignited with the Fuji. When you find a lens that resonates with you, you find that two things happen: firstly, you are invigorated and gladly shooting at every opportunity. Secondly, you work out ways to get your new favorite lens into every shoot.
