what would you choose for street

[Invasion]

choosing a lens for street and cant decide. I was wondering what focal length you would choose for street photography out of:

olympus 12mm F2.0 (24mm) or 17mm F1.8 (34mm)

Thats what I thought...and 24mm would be just a little to wide.I didn't want to make the wrong choice. as it isn't that cheap for what it is £399.00

thanks for your input

Don't forget to post your Street shots here of course

As soon as I figure out these menus on this thing. never seen so many user options on a camera. if and when it stops raining, I will be out and about. Im thinking of a day trip to London, so with a bit of luck I will have something worth posting

I quite like the wider angle. I like to find a composition in the enivronment, get close up but still be able to fit it all in frame and then wait for the subject to fall within it. It feels a little less creepy to me than longer focal lengths for this kind of thing

you mean less like stalking lol
I do like the perspective or view the 28mm gives, but I think ill keep two more foot steps back with 34mm. Then if it turns sour I might get away
