  37. 2:32

    be selling now that I've got the 35.

  50. 3:13

    much inside this 35mm lens.

    Segment details3:13–3:16 · rev_ee874b1ad15d092c565ccdf298368ec0_49
  51. 3:16

    Segment details3:26–3:27 · rev_ee874b1ad15d092c565ccdf298368ec0_55
  57. 3:28

    50mm lens— milliliter lens— the 50mm lens

  74. 4:05

    it's not like a faulty lens problem.
