I wonder why people think that it´s a nice lens for street photography
In reply to Landscapephoto99, 9 months ago

I think the best for street photos is a nice bright zoom because you're able to change the FOV very quick. Especially the first photo would be much better with more content at the left and lower frame. But if I understood it right there wasn´t enough room to go a little bit away from the scene.
Of course this is not a problem with the 75 alone, but with all prime lenses.

They are smaller than a zoom, but normally you have to go with a bag full of primes instead of one zoom...

The other side is the optical quality and small dof this lens can give, it's for sure a really good one...
I hope Olympus will soon come out with a fast good zoom like a 12-60.
Personally I would prefer something like 14-75...
Together with a 7-14 or 9-18 and the 75-300 and all is well...
