Is the zeiss biogon t 25mm f 2 8 zm good for street photography?

I think the 25mm is a good street lens. It's a fixed focal length on full frame, so you learn its view quickly and stop thinking about zooming. At f/2.8 it's bright enough for indoor and dusk scenes, and it's small enough to carry all day. The catch is manual focus only, so you'll need to pre-focus or get used to zone focusing.

My Street guide says a quiet, unobtrusive camera beats extra megapixels, so pair this lens with a compact Leica M body. If you want a wider or tighter view, I'd also look at the 28mm or 21mm versions. Whichever you choose, be open about what you're shooting and check the local rules for photographing people.
