That photo is wonderful, sandermarijn. Great depth to it. I'll take a peak at the 28. Do you know how it compares to the 17? Is it bigger or smaller?

Another one I've come across is the Oly 35 DC. It's the automatic version of the RD. I know I said I shoot Av but I read one review that said shooting the DC is like shooting in P mode on a digital, which I don't have a problem with when shooting street, especially in fast situations. Any thoughts on the DC? There are a few on ebay at around £50-60 and boy do they look sexy. I've no idea how big they are though. I think I read they're a little smaller than the Canonet 17, which is good enough for me.

I realise I'm going backwards and forwards a little here, but I'm now thinking the XA is a bit too compact and modern for my tastes, especially with Mark's comments in mind. I said as a joke in my OP that I want to look cool. I realise now I wasn't joking, so design is becoming a factor and I particularly like the 60s-70s combination of chrome and black. Call me shallow, but...
