Nice shot. But what are they shooting? They all seem to feel that they
need fill flash. They have sun coming in over their left shoulders. but
perhaps it's not full on the subject. Although since the glass is big
and it's daylight, I wonder if the fill is going to buy them anything?

Boris,
50mm is too long for crowded shots. Many street shooters prefer 35mm, or
even 28. My 35 (SMC 35/2) is very long, even without its metal hood. A
shorter 35, or a pancake (Pentax 45/2.8, Ricoh-Chinon 40/2.8, Ricoh 28/2.8,
or Cosina-Porst-Vivitar 40/2.5) with the hood off.

My street shooter cameras are a Yashica T4 Super and a Ricoh GR1. Focus
and recompose are a must with either one of them. I find that people
don't really notice them as being a threat to their privacy. They just
don't know how sharp the lenses on those two P&S cameras are, so I find

During a Christmas meet with the TPDMLers,i took my Yashica-Mat
with me and had it hung over my neck and was able to get a roll of Delta 3200
(i was a dull day) with out attracting any attention to my self.No mirror
slap film motor etc.And the hang distance is perfect for my aging eyes.

Yes, Shel would engage the street subjects before taking their photos. This seems
more sensible and honest. I save the 135mm portrait stuff for my relatives, who
rarely beat me up when I take their photo in a sneaky manner. Bob S.

Hi Boris:
The way I see it, it will depend on whether you want to engage the subject
or not.
If you do not want to engage the subject, one technique is to have your
camera prefocused and preset and at the right time simply raise it
discreetly to the eye level and release the shutter. The

Hi!
You have to check yourself what kind of equipment suits you best. Start
practicing in a tourist place, where taking photos around is a common
activity, and no one will pay attention to you.
The remote control of the ZX-L might be handy in certain situations.
Don't even think of trying to take pic

I seem to remember Shel (former PDML'er and good street photographer)
saying that it was important to engage the subject rather than try to
be sneaky. So I think that seconds this - working technique is more
important than stealth.
