kevyan said:Hi, need some advice here.
If I would like to take street, candid and portrait pictures, what kind of lens should I use?
Can someone help me on this? Thank you.
XXX Boy said:You can use a 28-70 zoom lens.
For me, I am using a 35mm f2.8, 50mm f2 and a 90mm f2.8.
I use prime lens mainly I dun have the habit of zooming in and out and also prime lens offers max aperture that I can shoot in low-light without the need of flash.
Hope it helps.
kevyan said:Hmm..... do the lenses you mention cost a lot?

What is your budget ?
kevyan said:I don't have a budget for the time being b'cos I don't even know how
much one cost.
Anyone can advise the price range?
Belle&Sebastain said:you can try a 35mm f2 ($400+++) or a 50mm 1.8 ($135) to start if you want to explore primes. you can try a 85 1.8 for ($600+++) if you have about no idea how abt a zoom lens, 28-105 or 24-85? try them out first.
You can use your kit lens for street and candid shots. For shallow DOF effect (background blur type), you can get the cheapo 50mm f1.8 to start off.kevyan said:I have a kit lens that came with my EOS66.
i believe that's a 28-80 lens, which is a good range for candid and street shots.kevyan said:I have a kit lens that came with my EOS66.
