Considering going without my 70-200 and replacing it with 3 fast primes, 35, 50, and 135. Wondering what people think of such a silly idea. I think what got me on to this is that I have two high resolution full frame bodies and I use my first generation 70-200 mostly for portrait, I also already own a 85mm f/1.8 and the Canon 100-400 MII. The new Sigma Art lenses resolve much better than anything Canon is currently producing including the 70-200 MII.
Why not keep the zoom, and just pick up a cheap 35mm and perhaps a 105mm? The 35mm alone will handle all of your street shooting needs. And you will have a sweet 105 for any tighter shots that you may want to shoot in the future. Do not over-think this. Street shooting is about keeping it simple. Travel fast and light. I often just shoot with an older film rangefinder. Go shooting. Enjoy the process. You are setting off on an enjoyable path. Go for it.
