    having an 85mm myself solidifies how amazing that lens is, for just about any situation. The 35mm is also good for that overall capture, I just prefer the comfort of the 85mm without having to be so up and close to any subject. As always, great content Pierre, this video will clear things up for a lot of enthusiasts that are planning on getting more into street photography.

    I have the 85mm 1.8 and it's sooooo good, I can get portraits or street shots without having to be right on someone, makes me alot more comfortable and the people I'm taking photos of. Unfortunately I can't get many good macro shots with it but it holds detail and sharpness very well.

    For street photography with my Leica M6 and/or M10 rangefinders, I routinely use the following lenses:
    21mm f/1.4 Leitz
    35mm f/1.4 Zeiss
    90mm f/2 Leitz
    I also use an adapter to mount my Nikon 14mm f/2.8 on my Leicas; however, 14mm is too wide for my taste for street photography.
    For street photography with my Nikon SLR, I routinely used the following lenses:
    24mm f/2
    35mm f/1.4
    85mm f/1.4
    For street photography with my Nikon SLR, I sometimes used the following lenses:
    24mm f/2
    50mm f/1.4
    105mm f/2.5 or 135mm f/2
    In my opinion, one lens is no better than the other. They do, however, work very well together for street photography.
    Thanks for the video.

  • @jtpettersen378
    @jtpettersen378 2 роки тому +1

    Interesting video, and also highlights the need for a warmup before you start taking good photos. And as you mention, the 14mm gets the short end of stick in this "experiment". I shoot with the 24mm 1.4, 85mm 1.4 and 70-200 2.8. And the next lens I am aiming for is the 14mm 1.8. So I am thinking an interesting video from you would be to push yourself with the 14mm and come to terms with it and show how it can capture unique street photography. This video kind of makes it seem useless for street. Personally, I want it to push myself in to getting closer to subjects. So I put tension into a photo, as the observer knows I have had to be VERY close to capture that moment. A video dealing with that from you could be interesting. Keep it up!

    Je pense que l'optique 85mm permet d'avoir un réel sujet.

    For me, it would be 35, I find it perfect for street photography, if the lens is longer like 85 or 135 it’s very easy to compose the image, same happens with portraits, if the lens is wide like a 24 or a 16 it’s more difficult to compose.
    I’m very new on street photography, but what I’ve seen with professionals street photographers is that they usually go with 28,35,50 and I see a lot of beginners using 85mm or even 70-200.

    Is 112mm too much for street photography ? I am hesitating for the Sigma 56mm 1.4 for m43 or the 16mm 1.4 ... Congrats tho for your 500k !

      @@Pierretlambert Thanks for the answer ! I'm gonna try the 56mm on m43 ! Un viewer français d'ailleurs mais super vidéo en anglais j'adore !

    Préférence pour le 35mm mais le 85mm est bien dans certaines situations.
