Anyone do street shooting with 24mm ? (or 25mm) ?

Just curious

Seems like end distortion is not much worse then 28mm and one gets an extra kick of the scene/surround.

On the other hand you need to be even closer !

 

For anyone who regularly shots at this FL what say you ? (a link to any samples photos would be nice)

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

It requires its own mindset to use to full capacity. This means a tailored approach.

I like it.

 

There are a few samples of my street shots with a summilux 24 in the street photography forum.

I regularly shoot street with a 21mm SEM so personally I wouldn't worry about having to get closer than when using the 28mm.

 

I used the SEM for most shots on the following gallery.

I frequently use a 24mm on my Canon and Leica for street shooting.  I like the perspective and the (usually) necessary close approach.  The broad view can help tell a story...puts things in a perspective, so to speak.
