Never Again! Using a Telephoto Lens for Street Photography

telephoto lens for street photography

I traditionally use a Fujifilm 35mm f2 lens when I'm shooting street photography. On my APS-C Fujifilm X-T2, that's around a 53mm full-frame equivalent. It works well for me and helps me achieve the shots I want.

I'd say most street photographers use a similar lens like this. We tend to use lenses ranging from 23mm to around 70-80mm. Many would deem anything beyond that as "not suitable for street photography. " So, to break some trends and ruffle up some feathers, I pulled out a Fujifilm 55-200mm to see if you can use a telephoto lens for street photography. Let's take a look. . thephoblographer.com
