Eh, as someone who uses a 50 or other normal lens for 90% of my shooting I found the video underwhelming. His advice for using a digital M seemed rather contradictory to my experience with my M 240 as well.
Hopefully others will get more from it and I thank you for posting the link.

Vamoosed (for a while)
The most important thing about the so-called "standard" (50mm) lens is to know its limitations, and work within those. As one HCB did.
As for YouTube videos, they sometimes sometimes are good, but most only regurgitate already posted information. Too many for my liking consist mostly of yapyap from not very attractive personalities who ashamedly push brand name products or too enthusiastically (and often loudly) peddle misinformation.
For me, watching a lousy production mostly consisting of some geek yammering on for 20+ minutes about how good their chosen camera or lens or whatever gear are, is too much time wasted for what is left of my life. I get far better and more information - and much more enjoyment - from reading on sites like RFF.
Now and then a good YouTube video surfaces. Well worth watching when it does.

There's a young Japanese fellow who applies Japanese/Buddhist philosophical ideas to photography. I find those videos rather interesting but they're about it.

Know your hyperfocal distance for each aperture and mark with a red paint like HCB did. There's more leeway now with 50mm street than has ever been in the past as your not limited to your iso. You can crank it up to crazy levels and keep your aperture as deep as possible
