<p>Hi guys.<br>
I' m here for this question. I love taking pics on the streets, 2 kind of taking situations : "on the scene" ( where i need a wide lens), and "candid portraits" ( where I feel the need of a longer lens, allowing me to take candids at some distance). I would have the right equipment to take picks in these 2 kinds of situation very quickly. Now I have a Nikon D90 with a Tamron 17-50 2.8 on it. I found this zoom ok for wide situations, 17mm is wide enought for me, but I find 50mm is too short for taking those candid portrait at distance. I know there are longer zooms, i.e. 18-105, 16-85, ecc..but at the longer end they are slow, and I need f2.8 at least , not slower. And, anyway, I don' t feel confortable pointing a big zoom close so the people, so the tamron or other zoom sobsitutes are not indicated for close distances.<br>
So, this is my idea : to keep my Nikon D90, and put on it a 85 1.8af , to take street candid portraits at the distance. And pairing the D90 with another camera for closer distances pics. It has to be the less intrusive possible, with a good wide lens ( prime or zoom, it could be not very fast, f 3.5 could be ok), and good quality sensor for good IQ. This second camera could be a small body aps-c sensor reflex ( nikon d3200 ? D40 ? ) with a small prime ( 20 2.8 af ? 24 2.8 af ? ) or a good quality mirrorless camera with optical viewfinder ( fuji x100s ? Fuji Xa1 ? Panasonic lx100 ? ) . The mirrorless camera is nice for it's great IQ and small dimensions, but it's very expansive...The small aps-c reflex ( d40 ? ) is not as small, but has great IQ and is not so expansive, expecialy if I can find one in the used market...<br>
So, which one of these combos you suggest me ? D90 + 85 1.8af (candid portraits) + D40( or D3200)+wide prime ( 20 2.8 or 24 2.8)....or D90+85 f1.8 + Mirrorless camera ( x100s, xa1, lumix lx100 ? ) . Thanks !<br>
