What is the best focal length for street photography? EP4

[@Narsuitus]

Over the decades, I have used 21, 24, 28, 35, 40, 45, 50, and 55mm focal lengths on full-frame cameras in one-lens/one body street shooting situations. All worked well. However, the 35mm f/2 or 35mm f/1.4 is my personal favorite.

hey i want to buy a lens for night skyscraper photography mainly but potraits as well is a 50mm f/1.8 by canon good for both?

For architectural photography, a wide angle lens of 16-24mm would be better suited. 50mm is bit of a stretch.

I'm using three lenses mostly 50/1,4 24/2,8 and some time zoom 18-70/3,5-5.6 . Becose I'm taking fotos of people 50mm is stil on camera. I always talk with people before, and they know they will on fotos. This I think is important, de-facto I'm arrange fotos. Moment fotos are in this time no good thing.

I agree. I value the interactions and friendly conversations with the subjects. It's important to make sure they are aware of the camera and don't mind being on camera, especially if you capture their face up close. However, I also understand that there is another approach that can be intrusive, but that's not my style either.
