My choices would be: -Samyang 24mm f1.8 -Samyang 35mm f1.8 -Samyang 45mm f1.8 or Sony 55mm f1.8 -Sony 85mm f1.8 -Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 G2 VXD -Tamron 70-180mm f2.8 If I had to choose just one prime, it would be the Sigma 65mm f2.

That's a lot of lenses, you need a big bag 🎒 😀 do you have them all? There's many I haven't tried on the list.

@@johannesbgonzalez I would choose from that list... I own the 28-75 and the 85mm. I already had the 35mm f2.8 lenses from Samyang and Tamron, when Samyang released the f1.8 version. I borrowed the 70-180 sometimes, but I rarely need those focal length. And I have a huge collection of Minolta manual focus lenses. For traveling, the 28-75 and maybe a Minolta 200mm f4 will be enough 99% of the time.

What I hate about all these lenses, not just in this camera brand, is the size. They used to be small on 35mm film cameras. Wow are they big now even for street photography.
@johannesbgonzalez6 ай бұрын
True. I think the 35mm is okay of it size though and also the Samyang 24mm. But in general the FE lenses are big. If you use the apc-version they are usually a bit smaller though I think. For me it is not a problem though. When I was a Nikon DSLR user, both the camera and the lenses was quite big :)

@@johannesbgonzalez I went to a dedicated camera shop for the first time in years; the place had everything you can ask for. I noticed the FF bodies have gotten smaller from 2010 onward but indeed the lenses are bigger than I remember for these cameras, especially the good primes. I have made up my mind to go with an ASP-C body. I see their lenses are more up to par with old film lenses in terms of size.

@johannesbgonzalez6 ай бұрын
great choice. Im interested in the tamron aswell because it covers so much range. But since im pretty invested in the primes, I am a bit hesitant to buy it. Ive heard great thing about the 16-35 f4. If you need to get a wider range. You can always photo stack and get similar results.

Surprised you didn’t mention the 28mm f2. It’s a little beast. Great overview though. Had that tamron for a while and it is excellent.

I'm glad you found the overview helpful! There are so many great options :) While I didn't specifically mention the 28mm f/2 lens, it's certainly a noteworthy lens, known for its compact size and excellent performance - thanks for mentioning it!

Thanks for sharing your favourite lenses for street photography! I’m also an urban photographer and mostly use prime for their size and aperture. My favourite focal lengths are probably 14, 20, 50 and 85, and I’m considering getting the Tamron 35-150 for a 4 week Japan trip to minimise swapping lenses in crowded/rainy conditions. Would you consider getting the Tamron despite its size, or something more conventional like the 24-70/2.8 or even the 20-70/4 as a versatile lens for a trip like this?
@johannesbgonzalez Жыл бұрын
Hey thanks for watching the video. I think the Tamron or rokinon/samyang 35-150mm cover a fantastic range. A part from the size and weight. The gripe I have with zoom is mostly I found it challenging deciding which focal length I should use when I frame a photo so I always end up taking the same photo at different focal lengths. So I usually just pick one or two prime lenses when I go out and that is it. But I think as you describe it, it would be easier and more convenient to just have a zoom that can cover your needs. I would go with the 35-150 because of the reach you get. But the 24-70 is also very popular, so that will be a solid choice too 👌🏼

Do you think it’s convenient and easy to switch lens during street photography
@johannesbgonzalez11 ай бұрын
Depends on the lenses. But for the most I part, I think it is okay. But when I do street photography, I mostly only carry one lens on the camera and that is is. Sometimes I have another with me and switch if needed. If I do client work, then I carry more lenses to be more versatile.

I haven't tried it :) As I say in the video, I am mostly into primes over zooms. But the focal length for this one should be great - covering a wide range of both wide and tight. So I am sure, you are going to be happy about it. Just get out and use it! :D
