- Wide Angle Lens (16-35mm or 24mm): Essential for the tight alleyways of Golden Gai and Shinjuku.
- Telephoto Lens (70-200mm or 85mm): Crucial for Tokyo. It allows you to "compress" the background (making Mount Fuji or the Skytree look massive behind a subject) and to pick out details in busy street scenes.
- Fast Aperture (f/1.4 - f/2.8): Essential for night photography in the city.
