Cloudy sky and I challenged it with a more challenging lens

The 27mm, FF equivalent 40.5mm is a challenging lens when it comes to (my) street photography. At least for me. It completely changes the aesthetics and vision. While I consider it a great solution for environmental portraits, unfortunately for me I still see it as too telephoto. And to think that with 35mm the same doesn't happen. And not even with the 24mm Canon that is a 38.4mm. but the 40.5 it is closer to the 50mm, and for me is too much.

That is why I use mostly the Sony 16mm (24mm) despite we are talking about a lens that which is poor in sharpness. My mantra with this lens is: it's not perfect, but if you know it you use it like a scalpel. the point is that we have to know how to work with a lens, by knowing the cons we need to work in a way where we can take advantage anyway to get the best result as possible.

With little light but stubborn to photograph in color because I have started a period in which I will work only in color on the street, these are the few decent results obtained yesterday:
