Good, better, best

Here are three of our top-rated street photography optics

Samyang

35mm f/1.4

AS UMC £449/$449

This is a classic manual-focus 35mm prime that’s ideal for street photography with a DSLR. It’s available in a barrage of mount options.

Nikkor Z

35mm f/1.8 S £729/$847 The best choice for Nikon mirrorless cameras, it lacks a focus distance scale, but focus peaking enables you to zone-focus ahead of taking the shot.

Canon RF

35mm f/1.8

IS Macro STM £489/$499 Wonderfully compact, lightweight and versatile, this is a great lens for street photography on EOS R-series mirrorless cameras, and includes optical stabilisation.
