Hi friend @dimascastillo90 thanks for stopping by and appreciating!.... No, those photos were made with a Tokina 100mm Macro lens (Tokina ATX-PRO 100mm f/2.8 d MACRO) ha ha ha! :)).... Obviously, it's not the recommended lens for street photography, but with a bit of practice you get used to it... It's also a lens that "absorbs great light" and that's excellent for cloudy mornings with low light as it allows me to use low ISO's and avoid grain or excessive noise... The problem is that the 100mm focal length makes me reprogram myself a bit and almost everything has to be photographed between 25 and 50 meters away if I want to avoid clipping or even up to 100 or 150 meters if I agree to crop the image (it is an extremely sharp lens even with F/3.5 apertures which are not exactly its "sweet spot")... For a portrait with this lens (for example) I have to stand about 5 meters away, very different from the 1.5 or 2 meters I need with the 50mm... But nowadays I'm a bit of a macro maniac and that's why I carry it attached to my old Nikon almost all the time these last days!.... :) Greetings and blessings over there, happy week....

Hola amigo @dimascastillo90 gracias por pasar y apreciar!... No, esas fotos fueron hechas con un lente Macro Tokina de 100mm (Tokina ATX-PRO 100mm f/2.8 d MACRO) ha ha ha! :))... Evidentemente, no es el lente recomendado para hacer fotos de calle, pero con un poco de práctica uno se acostumbra... Además es un lente que "absorbe gran luz" y eso es excelente para las mañanas nubladas con poca luz pues me permite usar ISO's bajos y evitar el grano o ruido excesivo... El problema es que los 100mm de distancia focal me hacen reprogramarme un poco y casi todo debe ser fotografiado entre 25 y 50 metros de distancia si quiero evitar recortes o inclusive hasta 100 o 150 mts si accedo a recortar la imagen (es un lente extremadamente nítido aún con aperturas de F/3.5 que no son precisamente su "punto dulce")... Para un retrato con este lente (por ejemplo) debo colocarme a unos 5 metros, muy distinto de los 1,5 o 2 Mts que requiero con el 50mm... ¡Pero actualmente ando con manía de hacer macros y por eso lo cargo pegado a mi vieja Nikon casi todo el tiempo estos últimos días!... :) Saludos y bendiciones por allá, feliz semana...
