35mm is definitely my favourite focal length; it's so versatile and can be used for nearly every situation. The main reason why I prefer it to the 85mm for street is because it captures more of the surrounding scene and for me it tells more of a story in the picture to someone who wasn't there.

mainstream opinion 🤭 yawb

I also feel that 85mm is just such an "easy" focal length to get nice shots on the streets. But 28mm or 24mm to me, gives the most iconic shots with a feeling like being right there in the scene, yet you need to practice a lot and get comfortable with being so close and compositions get a lot harder. I tried shooting a recent concert at 24mm a lot to get the feeling of being right there in the scene.

I totally agree. 24mm is a difficult and disciplined focal length, but the reward of immersion really pays it back. Shooting with a 24mm and 100% viewfinder coverage made me really aware of my corners and made it a habit to "fill the frame".

@@Lancoreh Saul Leiter is one of excellent samples of doing street photography with telephoto lens. Of course, he didn't do documentary/"i'm in the street" photos like HCB, Lee Friedlander, Robert Frank etc do (classically with 50mm or shorter). Leiter's photos looks abstract-y. Very painting-like.

As someone who's crutched quite hard on the 85 for street shots this was great to see the comparison. I just picked up the sigma 35 and have been struggling with composition so it was a big help seeing what can be achieved and where you position yourself in relation to a shot, allot less sniping with the wider boy. I'll have to get used to that

Loving your work. Were you using an ND when shooting wide open? Or were you stopping down like you mentioned to have more context of the image? Love the video portions as well perhaps you could go over your video settings in another video.

I don't think 85mm is particularly easy, most beginners just it wrong on the streets. Shooting street portraits and street photography is such an different thing, take a few steps back, capture more surroundings and tell more of an story rather than isolating a person and making the photo lifeless. I do still enjoy 35mm and 50mm more but it is possible to make 85mm work as a great street photography focal length.

Once again, amazing video. Intriguing view on street photography focal lengths, you are right, it’s nice too start on an 85mm. I actually shoot with an 85mm on a A6600 so I get a 127mm equivalent. I’m not in a big city or anything like where you shoot, I’m north of Toronto so big open spaces, I can get away with it. But I want a 35mm prime, next in my list for sure.

Can easily make a case for shooting with either focal length. I like 28mmm and 35mm, but will say that when the situation feels like it can get confrontational, I'll switch to a wide focal length. Love street shooting but definitely feel uncomfortable when someone confronts me about taking their photo.

Really liked the videos and the photos you took. Can you out a link to Carlo in the video description?

Enjoyed this video. I am an amateur and am fortunate to have a variety of primes and zooms, For the longest time, I mostly shot with the zooms. They are powerful tools for changing “terms” of a situation in pursuit of must-get images. On the other hand, when one is just shooting for the experience, using primes has expanded my understanding. It gives me a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of a given focal length, and the strategies required to adapt it to various situations. Ultimately, making me even better when I do use zooms. In particular, I have started using my 85mm f1.8 more. It gives me the ability to get images from a distance; even in fairly low light. That is useful when there is action on the street; i.e.emergency vehicles rolling or people interacting but are not close enough for a image with a 35mm to make sense; i.e. the only person who knows what you were looking at in the scene would be you. 🙂

The Sony 35/2.8 ZA is the best autofocus street lens in the lineup, IMHO. It looks like a toy and people are absolutely not scared of it. I actually have that Sigma and find it way too big, even on my A7c. But a manual lens is where I want to be, tbh. The Asahi Pentax 28/3.5 SMC Takumar is my personal favorite. Zone focus means relying on autofocus is a non-issue, which is preferable in the street. You can set it to F8 and hyperfocal distance, lock in shutter at 1/160, 1/250, or 1/320... Then just roll ISO to control exposure. Makes bokeh fallback impossible as a fringe bonus for those who are inescapably drawn to it.

I've done street for several years purposefully, and since the day I got my first camera incidentally, which is about 30 years... I'm old, heh. I find myself choosing the lenses for the street much like I would in any other genre I shoot. I don't use a 35mm to shoot football games, or macro lenses for dance recitals. On a busy street I'll shoot wider. On a quieter street with less people I'll reach out a bit with zoom or 85mm. If it isn't a busy street area and I'm in the mood to interact with people more, I'll slap on a 35 or 55mm and take time with people. Thanks for the video. Good stuff!

I just use 80D and idk if it is any good, seeing the Sony A7IV I feel like I am so behind

"I have been living in Japan for many years, and it's always challenging to take street photos, especially as a foreigner. Japanese people are often not amused by street photography and are concerned about where the photos might end up. On one occasion, an elderly lady chased me and insisted I delete her picture, even though she wasn't the main subject of the composition. I complied immediately and apologized in Japanese. So, seeing someone take pictures inside a place where people are drinking and playing shogi, especially in Osaka, surprises me. This could potentially lead to significant issues. Nevertheless, thank you for your comparison. I'm waiting for my used Ai AF Nikkor 85mm f/1.4D

I like to go out with a 50mm and a teleconverter. You can can get close and personal while walking around with the 50 or find a spot to sit and catch your breath for a minute and throw on the teleconverter without having too many missed opportunities because something happened juust a little too far away for the 50 alone.

I too have difficulty using 24 or 28mm focal length. There are two reasons. These focal lengths force me to get closer to my subjects. This makes me uncomfortable. These are good focal lengths for shooting in parades or a demonstration. The second difficulty is I focus on my subjects too much and loose track of my edges. Never used a long lens for street.

I use both focal lengths. I think the “getting closer” problem is more related to the photographer experience level. I use 85mm to get what I call impossible shots, e.g. a woman carrying their children and crossing a dangerous avenue, two guys arguing in the middle of a busy road, etc. There are too plenty of boring “get closer” scenes, you know, the typical people in your face snapshot that every street photographer need to do (to prove something to themselves). I agree with other comments here about street photography cliches happening over and over. I think the best way (talking by years of experience) is to shot the focal length that delivers your idea. At the end the most important thing is how well trained is your vision, you know, visual culture, art education, color theory, your visual narrative in general.

Wouldn’t call these photos as “street” photography (yet) but rather call it as a photojournalism of lifestyle.

And what are the ethical implications of photographing people and capturing them in embarrassing and unflattering photos? You guys may shoot 500 photos in a morning and expect to find 5 good images you like! With some luck! That's not real street photography or art!

On the street, it becomes my story. The more often I do it and the more varied my personal approach, the more I learn to look at all of my photography with a more understanding, critical eye.
