I used 40D and 50 f1.8 , 55 250 . I need recommend about lens for street photography. I'm thinking about : 35 f2 , 28 f2.8 , 17 85 . Can you guys give me your experience. Thank
 
Hi there Eric, To be honest any wide angle lens will do, having a wide lens will help you get closer with your subject, truly connecting both of you, resulting in a great pic! Try to also look for 1 with a wide aperture to help the viewer focus on the subject. Recently, Nikon came out with an amazing 50mm focal lens with an outstanding aperture! Here's a helpful link: YouTube - Street Photography Do's and Don'ts It's a digital rev vid on street photography, enjoy!
 
The 50mm f 1.8 is good for street photography on a crop sensor camera like the 40D. If you want to get unobtrusive candids from further away, the 85mm f 1.8 is a good lens, quite sharp at f 2.0.
