Some things:
>f/4 is not excellent for street photography. It's usable but less than ideal.
Lol wut? Street is usually done at smaller apertures to allow for the whole prefocusing thing better.
It's obviously better to have a faster lens for when you need it, but f/4 is fine "for street." Before he got a Summicron-M fifty, Cartier-Bresson's fifty was f/3.5, not much slower. And film was much slower then.
>all the famous guys used fast primes shorter than 50mm for their street photography,
A miinor correction is in order: used primes 50mm or shorter
>Sigma 28/1.8
Not a good lens for street. Sounds like it is, but they packed macro, f/1.8, and 28mm all into one package, making the lens massive.
>Okay you use a flash when you do street photography? 0/10, thread over.
Bruce Gilden and David Alan Harvey are doing it wrong? >I was told candid is actually not interfering with whatever you're photographing, and doing it from a distance, hence the name
Candid is not just not staged. Usually not interfering, but not always.
It can be done from any distance, but street and documentary photography is best done close. "If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."- Robert Capa.
