Is the voigtl nder nokton 17 5mm f 0 95 aspherical good for street photography?

I think it's a good fit for street, with one catch. On Micro Four Thirds it frames like a 35mm lens on full frame, a classic street focal length that shows some context without feeling intrusive. The f/0.9 aperture also lets you shoot in dim light and separate your subject from the background. The catch is that it's manual focus only, so you'll need to pre-focus or zone focus, and that takes practice.

Street rewards a camera people don't notice, so I'd pair this Voigtländer Nokton 17.5mm f/0.95 Aspherical with a small body like the Olympus PEN E-P7 or the Panasonic Lumix GM5. For more on working in public, see Street.
