A very famous street photographer named Jay Maisel used to go out on the streets of NYC with a Nikkor 18-200 f/3.5-5.6 ED VR mounted to his full frame camera. Great results from a relatively inexpensive lens, and I'm not even a Nikon owner, but this lens gave him the range to capture most anything he saw on the streets. Emulating Maisel, I have gone out with a Canon 6D and a Tamron 28-300mm and found that, while the lens isn't the sharpest lens I own, it may be the most versatile and allowed me to get shots I wouldn't have gotten with other lenses. Plus, it was all I had to carry, with an extra battery, memory card and lens cloth in my pocket. Traveling light was a pleasure.

Scott Kelby did a video with Jay Maisel. Maisel is a delightful character and his shots take your breath away. His every other word was obscene it seemed. But he pointed out how to get good shots. And the thing that I can point to was he said, "It's not trial and error; it's trial and success." I have discs full of near successes and relish the successful photos that bring joy to people and sell products. 😊😊😊
