Been traveling for months and have been almost exclusively using the same manual focus 35mm lens (7artisans 1.4) for all my street photography. This was a purposeful choice though to force myself to engage more and have to focus on something manually, wish focus peaking worked a bit better on the A6500, great as a general guide but cant trust it fully. I shoot waist height with the screen facing up and use my thumb to shoot to avoid drawing to much attention while shooting in the street. Shot a great series of elderly men in Albania like this, really brought me back to photography for recreation rather than work.
Like maybe 3 great shots from nearly a decade of shooting including 5 years of it full time.
Thousands of good shots, but ones I see as truly great are rare.
