When I shoot street photography, I use an 800mm lens so I don't have to leave the house.

Great video TK. I really appreciate how you speak to things like looking subtle, getting up in people’s faces and people avoiding your frame. Something you mentioned in another video really helped me a lot which was that nobody cares if you’re out there taking photos. I took on a lot of your advice, gained confidence and recently took a lot of street photography in South Korea with these tips in mind. Thank you again! And loved the podcast with Pat Kay!

Used my XF 50-140 in Japan and absolutely loved it for street photography 🥹 Great content as always! Had a great time watching your podcast with Pat as well ☺️

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks so much! Thats a very versatile lens, hope you had the best time Japan. Thanks for checking out the pod too ✌️

I love telephoto lenses for street. I use my TTArtisan 100mm f2.8 m42 lens a lot for street and it’s awesome. Saul Leiter also was a big fan of telephoto lenses for street.

[@TKNORTH]

That's a nice choice 👌 That is true - would have been a good point to mention him in this video!

[@QKvox]

@@TKNORTH I’m pretty sure Ernst Haas used them occasionally too

Banana milk t shirt is fire.

[@TKNORTH]

Haha thank you sir. Best purchase ever.

[@janvirtanen9110]

For me, 50mm lens is tele lens in my street photography.

[@Camaraenmano_01]

👍🇨🇴

[@stephangauthier911]

Longer lens just give a different field of view. Aint better or lesser. I love it, except for the looks.
