I'm not Shel, but I think small and unobtrusive cameras and lenses are essential to street photography. A large pro-looking SLR, and a honkin' fast zoom lens tends to inhibit folks on the street a lot more than a small rangefinder with a prime lens or a small P&S (like the Yashica T4 Super). There's a certain amount of intimidation factor you can avoid by going small, fast, and light.

For fast (as in reaction) street shooting one would think that a zoom would work best. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
