[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 266104, member: 13090"] I do like a fast lens for street photography. As for focal length I'd fine with either a 35mm f/1.8 or a 50mm f/1.8 but if I had to choose between the two I'd go with the 35mm because I can always zoom and crop in post if my shot is a little too wide. The other lens I really like for street photography is the 85mm f/1.8 because it lets me hang back at a little bit of a distance and limit my involvement in the scene. With the 35mm you need to be willing to jump in and get personal with what's going on. Ultimately, though, it's not about the lens... It's about your technique. You put your lens on and you figure out how to get the shot you want, with the lens you have. [/QUOTE]
