The feel of the kit reminds me of the Leica IIIa with which I started out, in 1952. The only problem, aside from the occasional desire for a longer lens, is that the EVF darkens down in very bright light. There is an adjustment, but that makes it too bright in other situations, so I just compromise. I have already been asked, by a knowledgeable individual, if I was shooting 35mm film. To me, that is the ultimate proof of anonymity.
