Is the nikon af s 50mm f 1 4g good for street photography?

The 50mm f/1.4 is a good street lens, but it depends on your camera. On full frame, 50mm is a classic street focal length. It sees roughly what your eye sees, and f/1.4 lets you separate a subject from a busy background. On an APS-C body like the D5600 or D7500 it frames like 75mm, which is tighter than most street shooters like. There, the Nikon AF-S 35mm f/1.4G is worth a look if you want a wider view.

Street work favours a camera nobody notices, so keep the kit modest. Lenses matter more than the last bit of sensor performance, as the sensor guide explains. And be open about what you're doing. The street page has tips on photographing people in public.
