You need to be accosted by a better class of stranger, I think.
A much much classier ....class of stranger..
When I went around with my K20D and silver Triotar 135mm f4 (which is roughly the same size as the takumar 200mm f5.6) I got funny glances all the time. Strangely very often parents didn't mind me taking pictures of their children, they probably thought I was some kind of educated hipster with a penchant for old camera gear, safe enough to hang around. (when things got awkward I'd flash my school ID for assurance) Doing that nowadays with a K-3 and the Sigma 300mm f2.8 looks downright creepy. It much prefer the Pentax-F 135mm f2.8 for candid portraiture, small, sharp, lighting fast AF.
K20D + CJZ Triotar 135mm f4 ----semi-candid shot, the children were playing in their own backyard (complete with an excavator), beats watching Bob the builder on TV. And no, he's not calling his dad because of the creepy camera guy (he standing besides me)
