for shooting on street ? what do you use colour or b&w ?
do you develop by yourself ? what developer do you use ? in which product you fix your films ?
do you print at home ? tell us what do you use? or maybe you use digital camera ? which one ? which lenses are good for you?

let have a little discussion about technical stuff. much better than posting photos and going away.

Canon A-1 with a 50mm/f1.4 lens.
I mainly shoot with T-Max 400 or Ilford HP5+, but experimenting a little at the moment with Fuji Neopan 1600 and Tri-X 400 ... all B&W.
For Colour, I use different bits and pieces, but I have a bunch of Kodak Portra ready to go.

I send my film off to the lab, actually I take it, until recently I've been getting dev, scan and contact sheets, but I'm gonna try scanning here.
I generally only print for specific purposes.

No Digital gear.

I used to get a lot of mileage out of my Canon EOS 20D with a 20mm f/2.8 lens, but eventually found it a bit...big...and found myself using it less and less. I picked up a Canonet QL17 G-III from eBay and I'm loving the size. I'm still working out which film I like, but Tri-X and HP5+ seem to be going nicely so far. I don't do my own developing yet. I use my cameraphone (a Sony Ericsson k850i) for occasional shots of stuff, too.

Digital only.

I love my Canon EOS 5D and recently switched from a Canon EF 28mm 1:1.8 to a Canon EF 35mm 1:1.4 L. I shoot RAW and process in Digital Photo Professional or Lightroom.

For street photography I always walk with the camera in my hand prefocused and preset to f/8, set to appropriate ISO to accommodate f/8 at available light. Shutter speeds vary depending on light but I try to stay on and above 1/60s.

(duh)
