I love the Mitakon 35mm f0.95 II for fuji x as well as the 50mm cron for street. And normally when you street you do use your feet 😅

I usually make the wide vs tight decision based on what I want in the background, since this is where the real difference lies. A tighter focal length doesn't just make it easier to get close, it makes it easier to get rig of a messy background, this is also the disadvantage in that it might exclude a picturesque background. And yet, getting close also runs the risk of impinging yourself on the scene in the reactions of the subjects, and may be felt to be an invasion by others.

Proximity changes the energy of your frame.

Capa didh't mean physically so much but more emotionally close to the subject; have a talk to someone you want to portrait, walk around a building several times to find out what the architect wanted to express, than choose your position and take the photo. Get in contact with your subject whatever it is.

Doesn’t reducing physical space evoke an emotional response, sort of in the way it is more intimate to be within arms reach compared to being at significant distances apart
