Over the decades, I have used the following prime lenses on full-frame cameras for one-lens/one body street photography: 21/24/28/35/40/45/50/55mm. The 35 is my personal favorite.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I shoot mostly with a 50 mm but recently have tried my 30 mm equivalent for shooting from the hip. I find 50 mm is impossible to shoot from the hip. I have also done some portraits and documentary with the 30 mm at the famers market where I wanted to get the person and their stall in the image. I also got some good shots with the 85 mm at small festivals. I only every tried 35 on a zoom and didn't really like it. Very happy with 30, 50, 85 which is good because it's all I own, but it's amazing how it covers almost everything.
I wonder if you'll come and go from a length. I did a lot of APSC 35mm shooting (52.5 ff equivalent) and even tried the 56mm (84mm full frame equivalent). And I find I love one, then try another, then go back. I >think< I stay closer to 50 because more than capturing a scene, I like to isolate one detail. Loved your point of view.
I used to hate the 28mm focal length. And then I challenged myself to use one for a month. I felt like a rebel. Like its NOT a 24mm or a 35mm like everyone else uses. And that was it, I fell in love with 28mm and own a dozen different 28's from vintage to new. Now? I dislike using a 24mm or a 35mm. And my Kit basically is 28, 50ish, 85 and 135.
I have 30,50, 85 equivalent for micro four thirds and find I can cover so many subjects and styles, candid street photography, documentary, portraiture, concerts and some landscape.
Germans are very focused on data privacy, which made me wonder, based on your videos, if things are different in Denmark. How do people in Copenhagen react when you're walking quickly, pointing your camera at them as you pass by and taking photos?
Most people don’t notice if I take a photo of them or what they are doing. I try to be very discreet. We are allowed to take photos in public spaces (with people). Also we don’t have a massive Street photography culture or community here. But there are many hobby photographers hidden in the shadows.
great video, BUT all those kind of wide angle street photos re childish to me. Somehow just a snap. The king of street focal length is, of course, the fast 50mm. The one and only.

50mm can be a bit tight for hip shooting. Try the 28mm is you get the opportunity 📸👌🏽

I think that’s quite natural to go back and forth between the focal lengths. I’m considering buying a 50mm for my Leica 📸🙌🏽

Fantastic. We have almost the same street kit :) 📸
same! I shot a 35 exclusively. Then switched to a 24 for a couple of years. Picked up a 28 a few months ago and haven’t touched the 35 and 24 since.

if cash wasn't the issue with the weather sealing sounds like you need to come on home to the q2 and q3m combo :)
If money wasn’t an issue. I’d buy both the Q3 43 and the M11-P (M when released) 🫶🏼📸

I love me Ultron 28mm on me M11
Love the Ultron on my M6. Fantastic lens 🫶🏼📸

50 is great no doubt. Considering picking up one for my Leica m6 📸🙌🏽
