Street photography is creepy. It's the one, single genre of photography I can think of where one takes images without their subjects' knowing and consent.
However creepy that may sound at face value, the truth is that street photography is not only alright, legally and morally, I go as far as to make the argument that it is making an actual service to our communities and society in general.
The video was filmed with the SONY Z-V1.
The montage was done in DaVinci Resolve on Arch Linux.

I am giving up on Sony full frame mirrorless and switching to Fujifilm. It also marks my transition from vintage, manual lanses, to modern autofocus native X-mount glass. This video is where I disappoint some of you and perhaps, hopefully delight others.
The video was entirely filmed with the DJI Osmo Pocket.
The montage was done in DaVinci Resolve on Arch Linux.
The images in the video are SOOC jpegs shot with Fujifilm X-T2 + Fujinon XF 23mm f2.

In this video I review the SIGMA Super Wide II 24mm f/2.8.
A very versatile, sharp, generally great film era lens that is grossly underestimated. However, sadly enough, it also has one massive flaw.
The intro to the video was filmed with Huawei P30 on a DJI OSMO Mobile 3, while everything else was shot on SONY a7R, the SIGMA Super Wide II 2.8/24 and Konica Hexanon AR 1.4/50.
The montage was done in DaVinci Resolve on Manjaro Linux.
The images in the video were processed with RawTherapee and GIMP on Manjaro Linux.
The video thumbnail was done with GIMP on Manjaro Linux.

In this video I review the SMC Pentax M 50mm f/1.4. It's one of the most popular and sought after vintage lenses. It's so hyped that I might have built it up so much in my head that it had no chance to live up to expectations so big. And it didn't.
It's a pretty darn good vintage lens, that left me a bit puzzled.
It's great in a lot of ways, with decent image quality, a splendid build quality that will make it last several lifetimes, but after having done this review the only thing I still want to do with it is sell it.
The video was filmed entirely with the DJI Osmo Pocket.
The montage was done in DaVinci Resolve on Arch Linux.
The images in the video were processed with RawTherapee and GIMP on Arch Linux.
The video thumbnail was processed with GIMP on Arch Linux.
