I've tried street shots with my 5D2 and found I liked using the 85 1.8 better than the 100 2.8L IS. It's faster, smaller and lighter by a large margin. Agreed the 100 macro is good for macros as well but it's 3x the price.
On a crop DSLR I think the 85 is also still not too long. I even prefer the 135 2.0L over the 100 L macro on a FF body mostly for the smoother bokeh and better bg separation. If I take my 60D into the street I always reach for the 35L. It works even into the twilight.

This is good advice. I also don;t find the 85mm too long on crop body. Makes you think about your backdrop more that much I do know, you gain tunnel vision using the 85 which is very helpful with photography.
A lot of photographers find even the 50 1.8 too long but I actually find it somewhat short and much prefer the 85mm focal range on crop.
I think a 50 1.8 and 85 1.8 combo would be your best bet for street photography without breaking the wallet.
