I shot (as I posted on http://www.twitter.com/CooperStrange ) with my Nikon D100 and my 35mm f/2 lens. That is not a terribly big setup. Honestly, if I had to say what rangefinders have going for them when it comes to shooting discretely, it is not that they are small, but that they are old looking. The amateur with too much money shooting a Canon 1D or Nikon D3 is "more professional" to the average folk looking on than that guy with grandpa's camera. Yes, they are smaller, but not excessively so. Speaking of, I like the Epson R-D1. The LCD is on a hinge and swivel. So, you can turn the screen in, only exposing a metal looking exterior. It looks like a film camera! Now, that really could come in handy.

Maybe I need a rangefinder so I can take it with me easier and then be ready when stories happen ;) I look forward to seeing how it all comes out. That is really good.
