Would suit my style perfectly but at £3k and trapped into buying a crappy f1.8 - that's tapping in M9 money and a 35mm Sumi

Wtf is a ' standard walkabout zoom'?
I'm guessing the OP is wanting a prime lens, compact, bright and less obtrusive?
A good prime will out perform one of these ' standard walkabout zoooms' you mentioned.
Using wide apertures for 'street' is quite risky, hence the use of wider lens and shooting @ f8 is a popular setup.
It's different horses for different courses
In general terms (film days) 35mm was considered the must have 'street lens'.
Lots of people say 'street' - are you wanting candid, from the hip, architecture, portraits etc.
Have you got the balls to approach people for portraits? If so a 50mm is very handy.
If you want a 'from the hip'...
Guys and gals
Most of you are in this room for nothing other than the Photography? Right .......
Well I just wanted to say a mind blowing film has been released onto iTunes - "which was is the frontline from here"
It's showcasing some of the work from the late and well respected frontline...
