Me, yes. I use old 6x9 folder wide open (f/5.8) judging distance.
Also i used both Rollei35 and Minox 35GT that way. Rest of time
I mainly make use of DOF scale - don't want to waste streetphotography
time for focussing... twas also a reason why I dumped EOS...
All CLUG (Chapleau Leica Users Group) uses Leica's Standard
without rangefinder also. Look at:

and look at Hugh Kuttner's galleries. Any comments?
