Like it all, and like to do the same with my 50mm1.8… plus it’s lighter than my 24-70 2.8L lens. Like your pics, except the cats… but that’s just me… 🫢
There is a short and interesting range between 40 and 60 mm. Discussion is also amusing because pro and con reasons are often good. 40 was the lens used always in all cheap cameras of the past; we could tell it wants but it can't because not enough dop etc. but it's a really interesting focus length as you say. In the opposite end 58 mm lenses made by Nikon and Voightlader (perhaps more) aren't usual but seemingly interesting too; I never owned one but I'm shooting sometimes APS-C 40=60 and I like it very much
I really like the idea of sticking to one focal length for some time. I’m really into 35mm like you, I know exactly where to stand, how to move etc, but it’s getting kinda boring. I think I also try to stick to 50mm for the next weeks.
What is it you don’t like about the q43? Sold my q3 because 28mm being really not my jam.
Lovely photos, the monochrome ones are outstanding but also the one with the palm trees at the beach!
I love shooting 50mm. I think a lot of photographers start there when they start using prime lenses, which then gives them the impression that it's boring. Wides and teles can provide some very interesting looks, but I keep being drawn back to "normal" lenses. I think they still stand out too, since the vast majority of photography today is shot on the main lens of a phone camera, which is usually 23ish mm.
Very nice. I’ve had a love/hate with the 50mm for a bit. But, per your thesis - I hadn’t just thrown in with it for a long enough time yet. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks! Sorry about the cats. Might try dogs next ;-)

Yes, just a bit tighter than "normal" is interesting. I had a 65mm lens for a while which was really nice. Worked very for cats ;-)
You photos of Valencia are very atmospheric. I have been there once and I found it a wonderful city. You have captured it well .
Thanks! Valencia is a good place for photography :-)

Love these photos. The shadows, the leading lines…so good. Refreshing work. Thank you
