Thank you, Canon for letting me try the Canon R6 Mark ii, the RF 28mm and RF 16mm!
Professional street photographers know that the best way to improve their images is by committing to a single focal length during a shoot or over some time. Committing to a 28mm or 35mm focal length is a great way to learn how to compose subjects on the street, without simply zooming in to fill the frame. Pancake lenses take this even further, by keeping your kit lightweight and portable when shooting, making longer photo sessions easier to improve your street photography.

I have a EF 28mm 2.8 and EF 50mm 1.8 for my EOS film canera. I need a 35mm. 28 mm is often to wide and the 50 mm is to narrow. 35 mm is very usefull for quiet everything. The latest EF lenses are incredible sharp, they can push the sharpness of film to the limit of each one.

I have the exact Canon zoom lens and I found it liberating, because I could not disturb the subject easier, isolate the frame with zooming and reach a composition, which would not be possible if I did it with a prime lens. So I guess it all goes down to skill and personal preference, because you can do incredible street photography with a zoom lens.

I bought my Fiancé a Canon R50. It's tiny and has some really cool tech in it. I'd love to see you try it out and hear your opinion on it. It's interesting to see how companies like Sony and Canon are creating these more user friendly "content creation" cameras but seeing a professional with a ton of skill use the newer tech to its fullest. As well as keeping it simple in full manual mode and seeing if you can still get that classic street camera feel. Throw their pancake rf mount lens on there and it's a tiny setup

I'm pretty sure that the R8 is one of the smallest full-frame cameras, period. Last I checked, at least in terms of weight (body only), only the Sigma fp L and Sigma fp are lighter. I'm not sure where the upcoming Lumix S9 (Panasonic's version of a compact full-frame body) will rank in that area, although unlike the R8 and the two Sigma bodies, the S9 will apparently have IBIS.

I don't know about actual range finder. But my favorite body style has been the sans-viewfinder eos m cameras. Fell in love with the original EOS M + 22mm f2, and later upgraded to the M6 Mark II. Personally, I think the ideal camera in terms of design, size and shape would be the R6 Mark II with everything that it has, sans-viewfinder. To bring it over the top, add gyro stabilization metadata into the files that can later be used in software like gyroflow and also give us the option for cinema DNG RAW (NONE OF THAT CANON RAW FROM THE R5C). It wouldn't hurt to port the 22 mm f2 to the RF mount either. I wish they'd continue the EOS M style with the RF mount on cameras like the r10.

I use a Nikon z6 II for street photography with the 28mm and 40mm lenses. Nikon's 28mm is small but I don't know if you could call it a pancake lens. The 40mm is slightly bigger but not by much. My first DSLR was a Canon T6s. I had a couple of reasons for leaving Canon for Nikon. Every manufacturer makes good cameras these days. They all have good sensors. I think it's a matter of which one fits you best.

A 35-45 MP backlit sensor, an optical/ electronic view finder, 6-8 stop ibis and built to the same quality standard as the Zf. So basically, what I’m saying is, just bleeding well copy the Fuji X100 VI. 😊

For a compact (and very affordable) RF mount full frame body, get a Canon RP. I've seen good ones used for around USD500 by now. It is by far the smallest full frame camera I have ever seen - although the Sigma fp might be smaller, but it has no mechanical shutter, no grip and no EVF.

Thanks for this. I've been contemplating upgrading to the R system, with this very 28mm pancake lens. My 6D and 6Dmk2 are showing signs of wear and tear over years of use on the streets in the rain. I'm thinking it might be time to take the plunge, as the original R is quite small compared to the 6D. As for Canon producing an old style mirrorless like Nikon zf, or a digital rangefinder, dream on… It's taken them way too long to even realise that street photographers have specific needs like pancake lenses, or even small full frame cameras, much less rangefinders,. Come back in 2030, and they might decided it's a good idea by then. If I weren't so invested in Canon glass, I probably would've switched already. It's so sad.

It's a shame you didn't get to try the 28mm on the R8 body as it's a tiny street combination that does nearly everything the R6 II can. It's perfect on a wristrap and I can carry all day and not notice the weight at all. The lack of IBIS isn't much of an issue for me as I'm shooting 1/500 minimum most of the time for street. If they'd just make the 40mm pancake in the RF mount now it'd be my perfect two lens set up for the foreseeable future.

You could have expanded your skit to include smartphones. For street photography, they are not just great, they are the best. Here's why: 1) ultimate compactness, beats ANY compact camera 2) stealthiness, no one is surprised by a person with a smartphone in hands 3) you won't ever have to leave the street, live on the streets while editing and posting your pictures. Capabilities are sufficient. For example, a 28mm f/1.8 lens, OIS, PDAF, RAW, and manual controls is what I get on a 2+ year-old smartphone, not even a flagship version, for less than $200 pre-owned on eBay. Yes, maybe not as much resolution, and there's noise, but that only matters for pixel peepers. You can still take great photos and even make large prints. And you don't need a professional camera to do professional photography.

@@GeorgeHolden I can't say the quality is amazing; it is rather sufficient. As for usability, it depends on what you value. I like quick and accurate autofocus, and a quick response to the shutter button press (whether it's the volume key, touchscreen, or wireless button - no difference). That's an improvement since some older models didn't perform that well. RAW continuous speed is around 2 fps, but it keeps shooting RAW continuously for about 18-20 frames (and not every DSLR I had could do that). JPEG/HEIF bursts are, of course, crazy fast. Any manual setting I wish is available, and it has pretty good auto-metering too. It can be used as a point-and-shoot camera safely. The resulting RAWs are as raw as they should be and allow for some highlights restoration. That's usable, I'd say. I don't know what's important in usability for you. As for the fun, all digital stuff is generally less fun than, say, shooting and developing film, or crafting your pinhole cameras or custom lenses for DSLRs. I did all that, and it was really fun despite not being so usable. If fun means struggle and failures, then, you see, some people struggle with the touchscreen and the uncomfortable grip of smartphones (by the way, there are grips for smartphones with a shutter button and even a power bank inside). So a smartphone can be seen as a fun challenge. I've heard some people complain about top-grade cameras and lenses being too boring because of their perfection.

I have the Canon 28mm -- don't like it. My copy is not sharp. Nowadays I am shooting mostly at 40mm with the Nikon Z5 camera -- love it. The Nikon 40mm is muffin sized and light in weight. Sharp enough. Nikon dynamic range is far better, and the RAW files can be played with much more than with the Canon RP. And the Nikon Z5 is a tilt only screen. For wider shots the Lumix GX9 + a Leica 15mm which are pretty sharp. Another great street camera. In film cameras, I do have a Canon TLb. --- yes, built like a tank, and a nice metal, cold to the finger feel, is great. They should make a Canonet for the street camera, in digital, with an updated Canon sensor. The color is there, the dynamic range less so. On sale, the Nikon Z5 + 40mm lens combo is a gift. A Nikon Z5 for $996 USD and lens for $277 USD -- come on man, a giveaway price!

You are absolutely right that Canon is asleep. Fuji built one of the most beautiful cameras in 2012 with the X Pro1 and the x 100 series is completely overhyped, but a very beautiful camera. Nikon has woken up and is showing with the ZF that you can build a beautiful mirrorless full-format camera and people are celebrating it. A Leica is also beautiful, but the prices for the camera and lenses are perverse. There is definitely a market for beautiful cameras, but unfortunately they prefer to fill the cameras with even more technology. That doesn't necessarily make the photos and the photographic experience any better.
