I use and love the Mamiya 6 system for street photography and a Hasselblad system for tripod-based photography. I use the Leica for street photography as well, often at night or in dark interiors; the Leica permits me to focus more closely than the Mamiya 6, so I use the Leica frequently in dim light when I don't want to be noticed. The Mamiya 6 is a great street camera; it's silent and the picture quality is fantastic. But people definitely notice it; they rarely pay attention to the Leica.
