It is one of my favorite film carry cameras but when I use it to photograph antique car shows I get stopped by a lot of people, usually old farts my own age, who remember having one just like it "back in the day." It leads to a lot of interesting conversations but it doesn't facilitate picture taking. On the other hand my DSLR hardly gets noticed. Every teen ager has one just like it. My most unobtrusive camera is another Leica, a CL. No one knows what it is. It looks just like any of a million black bodied run of the mill film cameras or P&S digitals. One person was sure that it was a Canon G11.
