I use it hand held and find it a very good street camera. This is more my feeling of openness and freedom rather than other peoples reaction to it. To increase the cameras bulk I have a large hammerhead flashgun mounted on a bracket opposite the handgrip. OTH on the rare occasions when I use the Leica M2 on the street I always feel a bit ridiculous taking photos of perfect strangers with such a sneaky little camera. The M2 is good among friends and family. Apart from changing lenses, the Linhof and M2 share the same user technique and get the most use. I also use a Zeiss Ikon folder and a Yashicamat 625G. For colour I use the more modern semi-auto Pentax and Canon. Alan
