Well, Peter, it only depends from where you want to shoot your street photos

I'd be tempted, but AF won't work with my TC...

Well if your big and strong enough to lug that around, nobody will dare object to you taking their picture

Re: Anyone thinking of a longer lens?
Anyone know if this is this the same one that's been on the market for at least 12-18 months (I saw an advert way back then), or another one? My two are still doing okay!!

Re: Anyone thinking of a longer lens?
I think they only made something like 16 of them - and apparantly national geographic or sports illustrated owns 3 of those!
It's all a bit short for my liking though - I prefer Canon's 5600mm lens for (cough, interstate) street photography!
