My lens of choice was always the 35 mm. It was more environmental. You can't come in closer with the 35 mm.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Wanting to take a light camera with me when I climb or do mountain runs has kept me using exclusively 35 mm.
I was known as a 35-mm photographer with a view-camera mentality.
If everyone worked with wide-angle lenses, I'd shoot all my films in 75mm, because I believe very strongly in the possibilities of the 75mm.
The world just does not fit conveniently into the format of a 35mm camera.
3D prefers you to use wider lenses because when things are out of focus, and yet it's in 3D, it bothers you.
Whenever I arrive on a real location, I have to move around and work out what the best angles are going to be. When I was moving around with the lens, I discovered things that the naked eye would not have.
It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.
I see the world from the perspective of a 5'8" person, not someone who is 6'4". so naturally, I'm going to choose certain lens heights over and again... Sometimes nature makes choices for you.
If I have to point to something specific with the way I move my camera, I love to do it with a wide lens. I like to show you as much of the space as I can, even if I'm following a character.
The glory of 70mm is the sharpness of the image it offers.
