Is 35mm good for street photography? | POV street photography
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Does a 35mm lens work well for street photography? Focal lengths for street can be polarizing. Some prefer ultrawide to get up close and personal, while others prefer longer lenses to capture the action from afar. Let's see how a 35 does!

I use a Samyang 24mm and when I want to get tighter shots I put my A7RV into crop mode and get a 36mm focal length and still have 26mp.
If you’re cropping the photo in post it has the same effect as physically changing the focal length.

I like the video idea, as it investigates exactly what I came here for. However, I might have missed it somewhere, but you seem to discuss FOV of the 35mm lens without talking about the camera. Is it a crop-sensor or a full-frame camera? Your conclusions in each situation totally depend on this detail.

Nice video, you should test the 24mm next time. Combo- 85mm and 35 or 24mm, What would you choose?
@azvisuals
3 жыл бұрын
Damn that's tough! Maybe 24 and 85 because you can crop 24 to get to 35 easily. And 85 you can crop in to 105. You miss out on the mid range like 50mm ish but it's not a bad 2 lens combo

Well APSC has roughly 1.5x crop so your 35 would roughly be 50 and your 24 would roughly be a 35 so take that into account!

Nice photos. Some of them came out really well. I personally prefer keep things simple and I usually take only two lenses for street photography. the 14mm f1.8 and 200-600 G. yeah I know 😅
35mm or 50mm for street for me.

Good God, 35mm has been the STANDARD lens for street photography since its beginnings ! For Sony shooters the standard lens is 85mm at f1.8 at all times on the streets lol, of course they wonder if such a wide lens as 35mm can actually be used...
Seriously? There must be a better title.

You set aperture at f1.4 for almost all shots at street photography, this is too large aperture to get all details clear and in focus.
