Great size, but only stealthy until the shutter goes off. Also you have the issue of low control without using menus. If I'm shooting street, I want dials or buttons, controls where I don't even need to look at the camera. I think that's very important.

I'm thinking of purchasing a nice wide(r) lens for street photography, but have no idea what to even start with....FA's, DA 15, 21? Sigma? Anyway, I will be primarily using this for a new "walk around" lens, so (small) size is very important.
I was going to agree with some above, the limiteds or sigma primes, but then re-read this, and I think the most important point is:
'...have no idea what to even start with'.
To be honest, first thing I'd recommend is stop worrying about the lens, go out and shoot street with whatever you've got, and see what you think slightly down the track.
