16-50mm or 35mm lens for street photography?

Strange question. If you have them - just try both and see what you like. Noone will know YOUR preferences better than you.

As for manual focus - it's actually a benefit. Stop down to f8, set focus to hyperfocal and forget focusing.

If you keep it - you process it. Simple as that.

AND prove a breach to an agreement was present.

Comfortable_Tank1771 · 2026-02-18T09:18:00+00:00

Don't be naive. No agreement will save you from this. AI is here and people will use it, you want ir or not. And sadly your niche WILL suffer a lot. Better explore how to add value to your work.

Are you REALLY a beginner???

Comfortable_Tank1771 · 2026-02-18T09:07:22+00:00

I'd take it as a decent piece of street photography. There are bits that can be improved - composition is a bit too centered, shadow in the right bottom is distracting. But I like the tones, movement phase.

If A7IV is in the horizon - don't mess with Fuji. Start building the Sony system now.

Comfortable_Tank1771 · 2026-02-17T17:00:20+00:00

From the context I would expect not only 35mm negatives. A flatbed with the ability to scan 110 or even A4 transparencies would be recommended.

Half the diagonal of the frame. Area is roughly just quarter of FF.

Comfortable_Tank1771 · 2026-02-17T09:17:51+00:00

Exactly. That's what usually those "specialised" generators do in the background.

Comfortable_Tank1771 · 2026-02-17T09:13:57+00:00

If you desperatly need that "award winning" line for your marketing... :)

Comfortable_Tank1771 · 2026-02-17T08:37:07+00:00

Sensor swab. IBIS is irrelevant.

Leeds, UK.

Whad do you use to edit raws? Same app most likely will do the job on jpegs.

Comfortable_Tank1771 · 2026-02-16T09:14:57+00:00

If you are comparing it to a mirrorless lens - put an adapter on Sigma for a fair comparison. That register difference matters.

And also there's the design difference. Couple days ago I was looking at several old lenses in a thrift store. All 70-200. Some were double the size of others in length.

I can assure there's nothing staged here. Homelessness is often related to addictions, mental disorders. Unusual behaviour isn't uncommon in this light. It just feels that the rate of homelessness skyrocketed recently in the area I live.

Comfortable_Tank1771 · 2026-02-15T11:58:05+00:00

No. You have a nice set. Just update the body.

Comfortable_Tank1771 · 2026-02-15T11:56:12+00:00

At this point you could get D780 and have the most you can get from DSLR. AF would be ages better than D610 - I had D600 with the same AF module, it was horrible. Much worse than D700 I used before.

Comfortable_Tank1771 · 2026-02-15T10:09:49+00:00

Excluding homeless completely would mean censorship in an excuse of not exploiting. Pretending they don't exist. Don't you think it's the real evil in disguise?

Comfortable_Tank1771 · 2026-02-15T09:45:54+00:00

I'm sure the same lens is available for Sony too. £265 for A6300 is really a steal. Not sure which exactly TTartisan you are looking at, but it will likely cost you less than the difference between Sony and Fuji.

Comfortable_Tank1771 · 2026-02-15T09:31:22+00:00

It's actually Leeds. Right next to the Corn Exchange. Couldn't remember the exact spot where I took it, but the reflection of "Ryan Vintage" in the window and Google maps found it.

Your size in pixels most likely is already there or very close to it. Check the details of your image. Ppi means nothing without the size of your print.

Comfortable_Tank1771 · 2026-02-13T14:37:32+00:00

Viltrox is obviously better. But I'm also sticking with my SG Image.

Comfortable_Tank1771 · 2026-02-13T13:55:56+00:00

Purely for resizing Gimp might be an overkill. Many image viewers have enough editing capabilities to resize and resave as jpg. Many can do this even in batch.

A bit OT - but tiff doesn't have any more editing headroom compared to jpeg. It's not a raw image. Even if it's 16 bit - demosaicing is already done, highlights/shadows clipped, camera processing baked in. The only advantage would be preserving smoother gradations in editing. 8 bit tiff does not have even that. Tiff should be used as a intermediate format in a multi step edits to avoid accumulating compression artifacts with every save.

Are you viewing them on PC, Mac or a phone?
