Is the zeiss loxia 50mm f 2 good for street photography?

Yes, it can work well for street, with one caveat. A 50mm lens on full frame sees roughly what the eye does, which suits street scenes. It's also a manual-focus, unstabilised lens, so you'll be focusing by hand and holding steady. That's slower than autofocus, but many street shooters like the deliberate pace.

Street says a camera people don't notice matters more than megapixels. On a full-frame body like the Sony a7C, this lens gives you that 50mm view. If you want something lighter, the Sony a6100 pairs with it, but on APS-C it frames like 75mm, which is tighter than most street work needs. Sensor sizes explains the trade-off.

Whatever you shoot, be open about it and delete a frame if someone asks. See A word on people.
