Yeah... Shoot some candids... I love to see others candids of my city. Sometimes we might even picked up the same subject!! There are lots and lots of folks in the streets and no body cares if you are pointing a camera at them so you don't need a hubble telescope 300mm to shoot them. It would be way too crowded for that lens. You will find yourself waiting and waiting for people to pass before you can get a clear shot. I just use the 85mm and its just perfect. No tripod needed and still very crisp shots.
PS..
DRESS WARM!!!

Ok, so maybe the wife won't have to tote my 300mm around. She will be happy to hear that. We are preparing for some cool weather. I think SF is similar right now to our weather in Central Florida. I love cooler temps, but my wife will probably freeze. Thanks again for your help. I'm looking forward to visiting your city, and hopefully sharing some of our best shots with you guys on this forum.
and the next day they were going to play, i left sfo...
