Just picked up an A7C II and a Samyang 35/2.8 and while it's not super pancake it still fits into a jacket pocket without too much issue. No matter what I did I couldn't get on with my X100F so was trying to replicate that in a FF body and think I've got it bang on.

I shoot with a GX1 and the 14mm 2.5 (I also use the 7artisans UFO lens a lot) and it’s been the best setup for my black and white candids pretty much ever. I sold off everything else and only kept my GFX50S so I basically have the smallest lightest camera I’ve ever used and one of the heaviest and slowest cameras but they do their specific jobs better than anything else!

After 35 years of photojournalism, my two favorite cameras for street photography are the lightweight Nikon D5 and D4s. I like taking four lenses. Nikkor 17-35mm f/2.8 AFS, Nikkor 28-70mm f/2.8 AFS, Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8 AFS, and the 200mm-500mm f/5.6 VR. Then gear is built like tanks and cover all the focal lengths I need.

Love the Panasonic 20mm f1.7 for it's compact look, image quality and most of all it's so easy to carry around in your pocket. I had it from a Lumix GF1 but use it on my GX1, GM1 and GX80 as too.

Honestly you're so right! Real camera is such a place to go for cameras and lenses, always give you great quality gear, Love my Sigma Zoom that I got from them 24-40 2.8 for Street, the wider the better, getting to capture a wide field of view is so important when doing street, unless you want specific subjects.

Imo, all you need is a 20-24mm lens, a 35mm, a 50mm (if you want Pentacon 50 1.8 is great for the price) an 85mm for portraits. when doing street. I don't care too much on the 135mm but they are nice sometimes.

Your posts are so well produced, informative, and appreciated for your sense of humour that screams my inner voice.

I really love my Panasonic 14mm f2.5 and it is almost always in my camera. I had an A7II with the Tamron 28-75mm and the difference in size is massive, while I still enjoy the the pictures, so it's a win for me.

My kit would be laughable by trend. I use the a6000 primarily with the 20mm f/2.8 and for wider frame I add the Ultra Wide Converter. For stabilization I have a Zhiyun Crane M2S. Finally for audio I use ECM G1 microphone.

A camera and lens combo I really liked for street is a Lumix GM1 with the Lumix 42.5mm f/1.8. It's not a pancake but it's smaller than most APS-C or full frame cameras with a pancake, and gives you that portrait reach. Probably better combined with a more modem body even if slightly larger. The 2013 autofocus and lag and ergonomics of the GM1 aren't great. But I like that I can attach it to my sling bag strap as a second camera and it's just kind of there, can shoot it without disconnecting.

Began with a NEX-6 and then on to the a6000 and the 20mm which is constantly on it. Although I also take more kit with me sometimes, like the 35 f1.8 on the a6400 or even the Zeiss 55 on the A7R 2, the first combo always comes along in a pocket (no strap) and shot from the waist with the screen out.

For street photography I like to use my Sony A5100 with the E PZ 16-50 F3.5-5.6 pancake kit zoom. It has a usable image quality when stopped down to F8 (not good as the 16 or 20mm pancakes, but hey, it's a zoom lens with oss), i like it's quick autofocus, and when shooting video, the OSS is very decent for even today, and it's relatively small.
However if I want to bring a little vintage style to the photos, I "fill" my pocket with 3 little Pentax 110 lenses: 18-24-50mm F2.8, as they can fit everywhere as they are very tiny :)

I bought the canon 24mm 2.8 pancake lens, and i like it! Very versatile and compact

When I used the Canon EOS system I had the 40mm f2.8 pancake and this was a brilliant lens with a really close focus. Full frame too. I still tend to use my old Fuji X100s for street photography though.... I also now have an old Canon 28mm FD f2.8 which I use with an adapter on my Sony cameras.

[enshongmiranda]

Fujifilm X-E4 and 18mm f2 is my EDC and street go-to setup!

This 20mm lens is amazing! I use it on my a7riv is square aspect ratio or apsc mode as my walkaround setup.

I always enjoy your videos, they not only make me smile, but you have really great content. Some of the best on Youtube. I was a bit disappointed that you didn't addopt a micro 4/3 camera as your street photography kit. Oh well to each his own. Great work. Please keep the videos coming. Tell you what, you keep them coming and I will keep on watching!

I have paid thousands of pounds to a psychotherapist to rid myself of crippling guilt for buying a M43 system. Watching your channel, I could have save all that cash. 😂 Very entertaining and informative channel. Thanks.
