Why the Canon nFD 35mm f/2 Is My Ultimate Street Photography Lens

Welcome back to the channel! In this video, I’m sharing my thoughts on one of my all-time favorite Canon FD lenses—the nFD 35mm f/2. I’ve been collecting Canon FD lenses for the past two years, and the nFD lineup has quickly become my go-to set for street photography. I love how small and lightweight these lenses are, making them perfect for photo walks. I also own the SSC version of the 35mm f/2, so stay tuned for a comparison video featuring all four of my 35mm FD lenses. nFD 35mm f/2 Specs & Impressions: Small but slightly heavier than the 35mm f/2.8 Optical construction: 10 elements in 8 groups 8 aperture blades for interesting bokeh when stopped down 52mm front filter thread — super convenient for ND filters Took this lens on a trip to the UK and even used it to shoot a friend’s wedding alongside my other nFD lenses (24mm f/2.8, 50mm f/1.2, 85mm f/1.8). Street Photography Insights I’m using the Sony a7C II, and switching between full-frame and APS-C mode in both photo and video has been a game-changer. During street photography, I often wait for great light and interesting subjects to walk into the frame—sometimes you capture those perfect, cinematic moments.
