For street photography I've had a lot of fun with the 40mm 2.8 on a 6D.

The 40mm f2.8 pancake doesn't interest me, due to lack of IS. Also, the recent 35mm IS has a faster aperture. YMMV.

Ive got both, and IME the AF on the 40mm lacks the speed of a decent USM lens.

Although i don't do much street stuff (not in the traditional sense) ive missed shots with my 40mm due to the slower AF, and this is on a 5DMKIII.

Fun little lens though, but since getting my 35mm ive only used it once or twice, and only when ive needed the smallest size i can get on my 650D.
