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.

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.

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?

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.

what about sony 18105f4 cuz I purchased this one and really interested to use it but there are few videos about it

[rizzarelli_]

do you recommend the 55mm f1.8 or the 50 1.8 for street photography? do not look at the price factor

[dipo]

What about Sony 24mm 2.8 g vs samyang 24mm 2.8?

[tsizzle]

Do you think it’s convenient and easy to switch lens during street photography
