hey gang, so heres the deal.
im a Los angeles based street photographer, and have been running into an issue lately
my Nikon D7000 with battery grip and 20mm lens is a bit heavy, and a bit too noticeable for the kind of street shooting I love to do
and im a few thousand dollars short of a Leica M9 and a few lenses
SO
having searched the interwebs incessantly for a small, fast, usable solution
I stumbled upon the Ricoh GR digital III
28mm equivelant lens, 1.9 max aperture, additional viewfinder so i dont have to use the screen
sadly though, i have hit a brick wall when it comes to finding a really in depth review, so i was wondering, if yall had any thoughts or alternative suggestions for a pocketable Street photographers solution.
also, for anyone else based in Los Angeles, know of any place i can get my hands on one before I commit to purchasing it?
and just to show what style of street shooting I do, heres a link to my street album on Flickr

Cheers!
