Hi Pat;
Personally, I would suspect that a 320mm EFL would be too long for street/candid photography, but I have found a few people who love a particular 300mm EFL prime for it, so you may be on the right track.
If I was using a Canon, I'd probably be more tempted by the 135 f/2. In this case I think the shorter lens may be a little more versatile, but it all comes down to shooting styles and the subject that you like. They're both very well regarded, so it's hard to go wrong.
