Want the perfect street photography lens? Here are our recommendations

Street photographers should look out for lenses with wide maximum apertures (low f/numbers) as these will help you to isolate your subjects from their surroundings and facilitate shots in low light. Small and lightweight fixed-focal length lenses, such as the Nikon 50mm f1.8D options, are popular in street photography, although you may prefer a short zoom for flexibility. Short zooms, such as the Nikon 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G AF-S ED, are also great for architectural photography, although even - such as 10-20mm or 14-24mm lenses - are sometimes preferred.
