Right you are. Me recommendation for an unobtrusive street lens, if you did
not
already have the 180, would be the 135mm f2.8 - very totable and cheap. In
terms
of bang for your buck this lens is a winner. I really like the physical
aesthetics
of this lens in terms of it being pretty much a constant diametre tube and the
integral sliding lens hood is cool.
