unless I’m mistaken, that’s the Sony 35/1.8 he’s using. Goes to show it’s not the gear but the vision that counts. Anyway, regardless of the gear, an interesting conversation. I like his perspective.

Yes, and that video led me to a similar one with Ian Berry, another Magnum shooter, who combines a Leica with Olympus MFT.
It’s a nice series. A relief from the endless YouTube photographers who bombard you with tips and tricks that will change my life, but have little to show for it themselves. They mean well, but seeing them all coming at me in YouTube’s algorithm is scary…

Excellent interviews! I enjoyed them!
Maybe start a thread on recommended interviews with notable photographers? Something more selective and more well-recommended than those sent at us by YouTube's algorithms.

I think there is a thread like that. I'd start with doing on search for the Martin Parr Foundation on YouTube, he has a bunch of videos interviewing other photographers. There are also quite a few videos interviewing or following Don McCullin. People like Greame Williams do a good job showing the work of other photographers. I think there are also interviews with Joel Meyerowitz, but I find his work a bit underwhelming. Anyway, a start.

Says in the comments below he uses the 35/1.8 and 24-70 which as you say shows that the creation of great images mostly depends on the person taking the photograph and not the need for the latest and greatest lens or camera available.

he also converts most (all?) his work to B&W, which would take care of any potential color fringing with the budget lenses.

I had the 35/1.8 for a while and looking back through the images see very little evidence of colour fringing wide open so not really a real life issue with this lens even in colour
