Analog Preferred
I've seen it done and it as subtle as a bull in a china shop. It works when the subject, usually female, plays along. This gets even better when using a flash unit in a dimly lit neighborhood bar or at a night club.

Arriving late to this thread, I have to say that "evil SLRs" sounds to me like a joke and nothing else, as most of us in the RFF forum have both types of cameras and most important, use them for what they were designed for, it is taking pictures, pictures as good as the man behind can do.
I got to admit that since 2003 I´m using mostly RF cameras just because that I found that for the pictures I like to take, the ol´n´trusty RFs are well (would I say almost) perfectly suited.
Nevertheless I do not dislike neither SLRs nor TLRs because they are excellent cameras and I feel great pleasure using them. I use (not too often) field and view cameras which are not suited for street photo nor are "fast", but the pleasure of using this old style cameras is something I would strongly recommend to any one involved in photography, as the are the same type of cameras that started this endless illness.
So I take the phrase "evil SLRs" as nothing more than a joke, not (obviously) to be seriously taken (even for RFs users!).
BTW, I´m starting on August a workshop of Pinhole cameras...
Cheers

I prefer SLRs, so I am the embodiment of evil.
Might even start my own evil empire someday...

I'm not there
I prefer my SLR's. Once my Pentax ME Super comes back from CLA, it will be my main camera. About a month ago I was planning on buying a Bessa R, but then realised that a full CLA for my Pentax is noticebly cheaper. I dont think there is anything the Bessa can do, which the Pentax can not.
This all is a matter (or mather?) of preference of how you want to focus.

Shaken, so blurred
...and frame, and what is or isn't in focus in the viewfinder and the accuracy of focus with wide-to-short-telephoto lenses and other things as well. I like SLRs; I like rangefinders - but I don't think they're at all the same.
