I took 4 rolls at a recent Jazz festival with the Bessa R and my subjects actually smiled at me, a far cry from the ZX-5n which I brought to a street fair a month or so ago and people where actually running to get out of view.
My experience exactly - the town I live in has a free music festival every Friday night through July with 5 or 6 groups playing on the various squares around town. The first night I went out with the MZ-3 and 43mm - people moved out of the way and as I approached some of the bandstands, it seemed that some of the musicians reacted to the camera. The following week I went out with the Minolta CLE with the 40mm lens and everything was much more natural and relaxed. I also found that the RF focusing to be quicker/easier when shooting the bands.
