street shooters?

Street

Street

I just recently got into street shooting. It's such a shame that when I worked in center city Philadelphia about 10 yrs ago, I wasn't really into it at that point. I love the screw mount Leica bodies I have for this, put a collapsible 35 or 50mm on it and stick it in your pocket, your ready to go. I love collapsible lenses, some hate them, I think they are extremely practical and render some damn good images
 
welcome Summitar!

smaller camera are ideal for the street but don't count out the bigger ones.
my mamiya 6 blends nicely into the crowd too.

Steve Gandy claims that there's nothing more compact than a Leica M body with a collapsible lens. And he has some pics to prove it!

I've seen and handled (a bit only) the Leica III. It feels incredibly complex, delicate yet tough. Hard to describe. The viewfinder turned me off, though. Later, when I looked through the VF of a M3 I lost my soul to the Leica devil... :(

Which, of course, joined forces with the Canonet angel and evicted the mischievous Nikon SLR spirit, which had survived in my soul long enough, crouching in a corner, all squashed up! :D
 
Yep! I've been exorcising demons (i.e. grading my students' homework) for too long and I can't think straight.

Oh, well, such is life! Tomorrow, hopefully, I'll see to do some night shots around here. :D
