Is the ttartisan af 17mm f 1 8 air good for street photography?

Yes, I think it's a good street lens. Street shooting rewards a camera nobody notices, and the TTArtisan AF 17mm f/1.8 Air is small and has autofocus. On APS-C it frames like about 26mm on full frame, a classic street view that takes in the scene without making you stand too far back. The f/1.8 aperture helps in dim alleys.

It isn't stabilised, so keep your shutter speed up in low light. It pairs well with a compact body such as the Fujifilm X-T30 II, the Sony a6400, or the Nikon Z fc.

For how to approach people, read the street guide. Be open about what you're doing, and delete a shot if someone asks.
