Anybody seen this documentary? Familiar with Garry Winogrand and his work? 

Really well done documentary IMO. Fascinating guy with immense IMMENSE talent. Thousands and thousands of absolutely amazing shots. 

Shot on an m4 almost exclusively with a 28mm (I think), which, for me, serves as some inspiration as a Q2 shooter.

Here is an article that gives us a little insight to Garry Winogrand:  http://shooterfiles.com/2015/05/master-profiles-garry-winogrand/

And a web page about his M4:  https://www.cameraquest.com/LeicaM4G.htm

I am trying to track down exactly which 28mm lens Winogrand used, but that information seems to be elusive.  Here is a page that talks about his gear and film of choice (Tri-X) but there's no definitive answer on what 28 he used:  https://fotoform.co/garry-winogrand-kit

JMHO but I think he was on the right track in selecting the 28mm as his favored focal length.  There's nothing wrong with a 35mm lens as an all around street/documentary optic, but I find myself coming back to the 28 over and over again. YMMV.

Thanks. It was the link I wanted.

So much easier when you have it!

Typing 6 words into Google would have taken less effort than the 14 words you took to inquire. Never mind copying and pasting the title. 🤪

When I typed “Garry Winogrand 28mm lens used” into Google, this is the first link that appeared…


This Google stuff is hard.

That wasn't the point. If I'm suggesting something then I'll always share the link to it, just as a courtesy.

But thanks for the 25 words of reprimand...🙂

My reputation in that regard goes way back…


The difference between us is that I’ll also always take time to search info before asking someone else to do it for me.  Just as a courtesy.
