    What's your go to lens for street photography? 🤔

      Just about ANY prime Lens that have either a shorter or longer focal length for full frame cameras ! I use 14mm, 21mm, 24mm, 35mm, 55mm, 65mm, 85mm and sometimes even 110mm or 135mm. Now I most often use two Cameras, one Camera mounted with a wide angle prime Lens and an other mounted with a short tele Lens, some times with a third Lens in the bag. Some times I only use one Camera with one Lens.

    One year ago when I just started street photography, I think a zoom lens would do it all. However, now I realize that prime and zoom lens are totally different thing.
    1) 50mm gives you 50mm view. Using 200mm to cover the same content as 50mm does doesn't mean you get the same view, for example the compression feeling.
    2) if you don't have much street photography experience, a zoom lens is very hard to use because it provides you too many options for the same scene. Whereas a prime lens can really train you composition skills.
    I think the 24 + 50 + tele zoom kit is a decent combination. Because it not only covers focal lengths from wide to tele, but also force you to create 24mm and 50mm views.

    I have 2 go to’s personally. My Konica Hexanon AR 40mm f1.8 is an awesome balanced normal focal length and my TTArtisan 100mm f2.8 triplet is also great for when I want to try out some more abstract stuff. ~50mm is also a great performer.

    • @TKNORTH
      @TKNORTH  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Heya! I've only used the Sigma EF 24 1.4 not the Canon version. The sigma is great but quite large and much heavier than this RF 1.8.

    Hey, thanks for the video.
    Been using my 55-210mm for all around everything including street photography, and ive been wanting a detailed comparison between the other lenses out there.
    Been wanting to upgrade to other lenses but im just confused on which works best for everyting
    Now ive seen your examples, its clear that maybe a tele lens aint that bad after all :)

      @@TKNORTH yep! 35mm f1.8. my friends all preferred that one, but i like how tele lenses give you more versatality in terms of compression, framing, zoom, etc. and i dont need to swap lenses 😔 thats always a hassle on the go

      @@RandumbTech thanks. 85mm is my fav but looking at some 35mm pics I would say these both lenses are the best option. 50mm is kinda predictable because this is angle what our eyes see. My mom has 48mm lens in iPhone and that's good but not enough to beat 35mm and 85mm. 85mm is perfect for car photography. North Borders is good example.

    The new Sony 24-50 is amazing for its size and coverage area. Had a chance to test it out and basically covers 3 or 4 prime focal lengths with a size that’s barely larger than a normal prime.

  • @alandargie9358
    @alandargie9358 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I find if I use primes I tend to keep the same one on the camera and can't be bothered chopping and changing when out and about. Just when I spot something exceptional that needs the change in floral length. Which (for me) adds to the 24-105mm argument!
    Great video though, some lovely shots and a good point about Saul Leiter, I love his stuff.

  • @alandargie9358
    @alandargie9358 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If most of all your 70-200mm shots were at the lower end then it would suggest that the good old 24-105mm is a good bet!
