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.
I spent a weekend in Venice with just a 100mm macro. I was able to make some high resolution panoramas thanks to Lightroom's ability to merge rows and columns. I would highly recommend a 28-70mm for Venice. If you want a 24mm shot, turn your camera 90 degrees and make a 3 image pano of that scene. TKNORTH, you use negative space very well with those 24mm shots btw.
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.
@@TKNORTHyeah, James Popsys pretty much only shoots in that range and his stuff is incredible. His work usually isn’t street photography but it’s incredible regardless
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.
Broooo I’m from Jesolo beach…which is like 20 km from Venice. I’ve always been interested in street photography and this video is just an inspiration. You just make me wanna get out and shoot more. THANKS 🙏🏽
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
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.
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.
What's your go to lens for street photography? 🤔

Nice picks! Love that 40-50mm range for a general performer

amy pancake is my the best street lens... ef-s 24 or ef 40 of rf 28 or rf 50...
Great video! I'm a fan of the 35mm for street photography. I'm a fan of the 50 but i use that for portrait shoots
I bought the cheap 35mm for my most recent trip and was honestly impressed with results even compared to my 28-70
I would say the 24-105 F4. Absolute performer on the street.
Super versatile option 🙏
How would 18-135mm canon would be for street and portrait?
awesome video and awesome photos !
I was thinking of getting a 35mm. What do you think?
Viltrox AF 28mm 1.8 on Sony A7IV and Sony Zeiss 55mm 1.8
Rate these choices 🙏
Great video and pictures!!

Anytime! That sounds like a super versatile option! Experimented with primes at all?

That's fair enough! Those two are a nice combo to have though!
for me i prefer Tamron 28200
Hey man! I’m curious, have you ever use the EF 24 1.4 if so, how does it compare with the RF 24 1.8
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.
Yeah and I bet you prefer the RF for those reasons
24-70 or 40mm prime
24mm on apsc sensor

Nice family lens thumbnail haha
Haha thank you Mich

great video. 50mm for me. Only 50mm.!!!
A wild guess. It looks like you are crazy about people with umbrella pictures.
Sometimes you just have to make the most of what's given. Especially when you only have 3 days in city like Venice!
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!
