Is the sony fe 50mm f 2 5 g good for street photography?

Yes, it's a good street lens, especially on full frame. 50mm is the classic street focal length, and f/2.5 with autofocus is easy to live with. It isn't stabilised, so keep your shutter speed up in dim light.

Street rewards a camera people don't notice, and the Street page is right that small and quiet beats megapixels. On full frame, the Sony a7C and Sony a7C II are compact bodies that suit this lens well. If you'd rather go lighter, the Sony a6400 works too, but on APS-C this lens frames like 75mm, which is tighter than most street shooters like.

If you're on APS-C and want something wider, the Sony FE 40mm f/2.5 G is tiny and sharp.

Whatever you shoot, be open about it. Customs differ, so read the street advice on people before you start.
