I really like the Kodak Retina IIc for that, everything a camera needs except a meter. Good range finder
Quite shutter folds into a small pocketable package. It doesn't look like a "modern" camera so no one takes
it seriously. Unfortunately the example I have is a bit worn and I'm afraid every time I cock it's shutter will be
the last.

Pop Photo just did and article on street photography and mentioned the K1000 and a 50mm f2,


The K1000 wouldn't be my first choice for street photography because the mirror slap is horrendous. Of course, I've tried it anyway. :)

My favorite camera for street photography is my old Yashicamat TLR. The
shutter is quiet because there's no mirror, and you're not actually
looking AT people, you're looking down into the waist finder, so I think
that helps.
