>>3580284>Getting close seemed to draw a lot of attention. I went into some markets with a 50mm and I had to get pretty close, which just made people look at my camera.Yeah true. But, you get used to that. You probably give it more thought than than the actual people that look at you do. Don't take it necessarily as a disapproval, people are just aware of their surroundings and the space close to them. They'd look at you even if you were vlogging close to them with the camera pointed at you, they'd look at you if you had an animated conversation, they'd look at you if you did pretty much anything interesting and not just walking by.
From my experience, 80mm gives you enough space, that in a *crowded* place with lots of things happening, people will probably not notice you (because there are more things happening in their immediate proximity).
If the place is relatively empty, people will still notice you.
>How is 80mm for indoors? I'd be in a decent sized space like a market or street mall.Yeah sounds good for that. Busy place, gives you some distance, etc.
I guess if you're on crop you can get fast 80mm equiv for cheap, because fifties are the cheapest fast lenses, which is also a bonus.
Also, minimum focusing distance is good on fifties, so you'll have no issue with closeups/frame filling shots.
I'd shoot an 80mm equivalent more often, but in 6x6 the 150mm lenses are slower than the normals and have worse minimum focusing distance, apart from few exceptions that are also "macro", so indoors is an issue.
