You can add the viewfinder to the GR, it fits into the hotshoe. Crystal clear and one of the best I've seen. Very similar to the Q viewfinder, which makes the Q another candidate, with a choice of lenses.
When these cameras are thus kitted out they end up looking very much like the classic 1940s/1950s Leica rangefinder style of photography. In terms of function that is, but with faster AF knocking spots off traditional rangefinder focusing. You could be a modern version of the classic photojournalist.
Paulyrichard is on here, I'm amazed you haven't seen his pictures. Worth checking out.
Expensive though for all of these tings

At the moment I am looking at the 35mm macro or 40 being lenses for this kind of thing.
The GR is ideal for this sort of thing, fast and sharp.
Getting in close and shooting candids is the forte of paulyrichard, definitely worth looking at what he produces.
Not so sure about that John as I dont think there is a viewfinder? The X100 looks to be the biz.,, Am I allowed to say that??
In all seriousness though I wouldnt doubt the capability of the GR as it seems to being doing well on the net with sales etc.
Is that Paulyrichard someone on here?
QC

I am getting more and more confident with my technique but also employ the "hip shots" for my candid moments.
I'd love to hear from other members who also enjoy this world of photography and specifically want lenses or camera they might use?
At the moment I am focusing on something around ten feet away and then using this as my guage when i get close to someone - when it works its awesome.
I cant wait to hear your thoughts!
