What Shooting Street With the Sigma 65mm F/2 Actually Teaches You About Focal Length Gaps

There’s a gap in most photographers’ kits that nobody talks about until they’re standing on a street corner wishing they had something between their 35mm and their 85mm. I’ve been there more times than I want to admit. My spreadsheet of tested lenses has columns for focal length, max aperture, price per millimeter of reach (yes, really), and “gap filler” potential. The 65mm focal length almost never shows up in that spreadsheet, because most manufacturers skip it entirely.
