Long lens for candids, kelart? I would use a a std or semi-wide. Makes focusing and framing easier, gets you nearer to the action. Just stop briefly, press the release and then press on!. The odds are nobody would notice.
An aquaintance of mine was using a long lens on the beach (I suspect for candids) when a well aimed pebble hit his lens, cracking the front glass element right across. It took him 3 days to get over the shock!

A shame no one has added any links to this, I've seen loads of great candids on this site, but trying to find them again is like trying to find a needle in a haystack!
Here are links to mine, not very inspiring I'm afraid, but maybe someone else will post some better ones

Ive jus checked out bens pics. Don't be so modest they're great candids especialy the first one of the girl on the steps and the b&w background.
I took candids for a while a few years back all on slide or print Ill try to find em to scan and post em.
As for long lens or wide angle, I saw a series of pics taken with a 21mm lens, because of the wide angle of view people don't realise the camera's pointing at them,makes some very intresting pis.

Possibly not quite what you were after as I've not yet submitted to ePhoto, but I did this the other day St Johns Ambulance on our trip to the Evesham Boat Festival. Ironically, had just taken the shot when one of the guys in our group asked me when I was going to take a candid shot! I said I just had, whereupon everyone turned to look at these two in the pic (who were right next to us) - I was already running away!
I tend to "set up the shot": manual focus on something the same distance away and then swing around as if checking what's about and as I pass through the subject: click. But I'll admit I don't really like doing it - it smacks of invasiveness
I agree totally, but doctor I just can't help myself 
And, on the basis that "furtive" isn't good, don't go for that look!!
