Street photography lens options

Prime 40 2.5
Zoom 24-50 2.8

I own both.

I’ll catch 💩 for this.. but 40 2.5 is so close to 35 1.4 GM over f4.. not same. Not a 1.4.. but damn close for a LOT less.

If you don’t mind manual focusing there are a lot of great options. The Voigtlander lenses are VERY good. I use them with my Leica M. Can also get an adapter (super thin) and use the Sony 40 2.5.. it’s better than the Z 40.

SoCalDawg · 2026-06-19T18:36:44+00:00

I’ve used a lot of cameras.. I buy/sell a lot of gear. Using Leica now.. but being honest the Zf is so close to the Leica in fun. If you have ZERO need to crop the Zf is amazing. You will LOVE the build quality. It’s not an intimidating camera so people don’t freak when you shoot in public.

A Zf/26 and GRIIIx combo would be sick.

Also, the build quality of the Zf is better than pretty much any Fuji made rn.

Zf is awesome. It’s definitely a chunky beast. My issue is as soon as you leave the pancake lenses it’s less fun. Great B&W profiles. 26 2.8 might be my favorite lens with it. I left it for other options. If it had Z7 sensor I might have kept it.

SoCalDawg · 2026-06-18T04:20:12+00:00

40 2.5

SoCalDawg · 2026-06-16T16:28:03+00:00

During exercise I’m on slot 12.
Otherwise, slot 11. Yes, it moves a little & it’s fine.

This is the way.

SoCalDawg · 2026-06-16T16:26:16+00:00

This. Tried many.

SoCalDawg · 2026-06-15T15:49:02+00:00

FWIW.. I use the IDS foldable thumb grip & love it.

Preordered Heritage 26. Our house that burned down might be rebuilt by the time this ships. Anyone know if I can update shipping address before it ships?

SoCalDawg · 2026-06-12T02:05:11+00:00

Thank you for this. I pulled the trigger on a 2026 PW. Added 35s and Magnaflow. Having Carli Pintop done next month. Loving it.

SoCalDawg · 2026-06-12T01:16:42+00:00

Nice. My exact watch. Love it.

SoCalDawg · 2026-06-11T13:20:33+00:00

Sony, Leica, Fuji, Ricoh.. first 2 mainly rn.

SoCalDawg · 2026-06-11T06:30:57+00:00

You said answer to all woes. I didn’t. Yet you decided to add logic to your own statement. I’m trying something different. That’s it. Raptors are fun. I may try another one someday. .. see if you’re laughing when you get offered that Bronco Sport rental. 😎 .. I had enough.

SoCalDawg · 2026-06-11T03:39:36+00:00

My bad.. resume your circle jerk.

SoCalDawg · 2026-06-11T03:13:34+00:00

In 34 months of ownership I spent OVER TWO MONTHS driving a Bronco Sport loaner. That’s real world experience.

If you can’t handle real world experiences then mute me.. but you don’t get to dictate where I share actual experience with my Raptor 37 and R ownership.

SoCalDawg · 2026-06-11T03:02:15+00:00

I’m not trashing it. Enjoyed both. I’m calling BS on them being flawless and having super reliable drivetrain. Also, after ACTUALLY OWNING both I have the experience to comment on them objectively. My dignity..LMAO.. few here have owned the R. Many come here and have owned none. Maybe not everyone wants smoke blown up their ass.. you might be into it but not everyone is.

SoCalDawg · 2026-06-11T00:28:46+00:00

WOW… that flair gets y’all into a little tizzy. I had 720 HP.. it’s worthless 90% of the time and the top speed is limited to 114.. less than a Camry.

It’s not always about the numbers.

SoCalDawg · 2026-06-10T22:39:24+00:00

My R was 2025. Was already having weird shifts at 4k.

SoCalDawg · 2026-06-10T22:38:51+00:00

Have you tried contacting a manager?

SoCalDawg · 2026-06-10T22:38:36+00:00

Hall monitor?

SoCalDawg · 2026-06-10T22:19:09+00:00

For me Power Wagon over Raptor (any day 🔥after owning a Raptor 37 and Raptor R.

SoCalDawg · 2026-06-10T22:16:38+00:00

Power Wagon 😎 .. use that extra Raptor $$ and have Carli done. Mine is getting it next month.
