A normal lens, 25mm, for the way I like to shoot: I like to be in close most of the time. I love 40mm on this format too, but it's a little tight for street work IMO.I have a question for everyone:
If you were choosing between 50, 70 and 100mm effective focal length (25, 35 and 50mm on m43 body) for outdoor and indoor (bars and similar) "street" photography that is mainly focusing on individual rather than a scene (often focusing on torso and closer) which one of these focal lengths you would consider best fit most of the times?
Wonderful shot, Rick! Really like it.Bus Stop - Fort Worth, Texas - December 17, 2010
The 20 to 40 mm range is where I like to be for FourThirds street work. 50mm and up tends to be a little too tight most of the time, forcing distances which cut intimacy. Sometimes I like a little wider too, but for your desired FoV range 25 to 40 mm is just right. Speed is important too as much of the indoor street scenes are rather poorly lit....
