Is the zeiss milvus 25mm f 1 4 good for street photography?
The Zeiss Milvus 25mm f/1.4 is a good lens, but it's not my first pick for street. It's manual focus only, and my street page argues for a camera people don't notice that you can shoot without thinking. Manual focus slows you down, and the lens is no small thing to carry.
Its f/1.4 aperture is great in dim streets and for separating a subject from a busy background. On APS-C it frames like about 38mm on Nikon or 40mm on Canon, a comfortable everyday view.
If you're set on it, pair it with a compact APS-C body. The sensor guide makes the case that APS-C with good lenses is enough for street, and you'll carry it more. Good options that take this lens include:
Whatever you shoot, read a word on people first.
