To photograph in Mexico City with a difficult lens like the 7Artisans 25mm f1.8

I am having fun and I am enjoying this experience

Someone on youtube calls the lens 7Artisans 25mm f1.8 a garbage, others are less extreme but still highlight the problems. Problems that I do not deny, but I have learned to make virtue of negative things.

The focus point is very short and I don't deny it. Even at f16 you can make a bokeh that seems to have taken at f1.8 with another lens. Despite this since I mounted it on my XPro2 I still have to take it off because I love it.

These are shots taken yesterday morning. I crossed paths with a demonstration in front of the national palace. The light came and went. I adjusted the distance, I messed up some shots, I was sure that I had scored several goals. I walked a lot.

This is street photography, guys.

If you visit the workshops section of the shop maybe you can decide to book an experience with me. I assure you a great street photography experience.
