Ive tried many setups over the years for street work and honestly, the Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 IS Macro STM is the one I always go back to. Going too wide with a 28mm usually means you have to get uncomfortably close to people to get a decent shot, which can be risky in a place like NYC if you arent careful. In my experience, the 35mm focal length is way more versatile for someone who wants to keep a bit of distance while still capturing the environment. Plus, the image stabilization on that specific lens is a lifesaver when the light starts dropping between those tall buildings. Stick with the 35mm... its a reliable choice that wont leave you wishing you had more reach. One quick tip tho: always keep your lens hood on. It protects the glass from accidental bumps in crowded subways much better than a thin filter ever will.
