Is the yongnuo yn25mm f 1 7m good for street photography?

Yes, I think it's a good street lens. At 25mm on Micro Four Thirds it frames like a 50mm on full frame, which is a natural everyday view for street work, and f/1.7 gives you enough light and a little background separation. It's autofocus, but it isn't stabilised, so keep your shutter speed up in dim alleys.

My street page makes the case that small and quiet beats megapixels, so pair this lens with a compact body. The OM System OM-5 Mark II, Panasonic Lumix GX85, and Olympus PEN E-PL10 all take this lens. Before you start shooting strangers, read a word on people.
