Samyang 35mm f2.8 - Should you buy it for street photography?

[@AristeidisSfakianos]

Thank you all for watching! Would you consider this lens for street photography?

[@samarth9341]

Very detailed yet not too much as well. Absolutely loved it, Thank you!

[@AristeidisSfakianos]

Very glad you liked it Samantha!Thanks a lot for watching!

If you do a lot of indoor shooting then the excellent Samyang 35mm f1.8 might be a better choice, but outdoors the tiny unobtrusive f2.8 works great. I find at f2.8 it only requires minimal sharpening compared to brighter lenses - I use 42MP camera BTW. Second hand you can pick this lens up for around £150

[@AristeidisSfakianos]

Aha. Always the wider Aperture help in low light conditions. I will keep the lens in mind since it is a budget one!👍

Nice video Aris.
Do you go on photowalks with other street photographers in Leicester? Be great to catch you out some time. 👍🏻

[@AristeidisSfakianos]

Thanks a lot Jay!I don't usually go on photo walks with other people but I wouldn't mind the company. However, I just moved out of Leicester so it will be quite a while until I have another photo walk in Leicester.

@@AristeidisSfakianos Aaaah, all good man. Just thought I’d ask anyway. Stay well dude. 🙂

Thank you Aris for your explaining of this lens.Do you recommend a prime lens for a beginner or a zoom lens?

[@AristeidisSfakianos]

Thanks a lot for watching Andrea! I started with a kit lens but eventually I moved to prime lenses for the extra sharpness and the open apertures. All and all I think everyone should include prime lenses in their arsenals regardless of their stage! 👍

Do you still have it ? Has it fallen apart?
