Another thing about Winogrand... he shot so much film that I believe he relied more on the law of probability than photographic composition. At the time of his death, he had 2500 rolls of undeveloped film, and another 6500 rolls of processed film that he hadn\'t looked at.
Nah... all street shooters shoot a lot and have a horrible hit/miss ratio, it\'s just the nature of the beast. But very few (arguably nobody) had such a huge collection of iconic street photos as GW in the end.
... Which is exactly why having more pixels (i.e. larger sensor) can benefit street shooters. More pixels can be \"thrown out\" to straighten images or pick out \"incidental\" subjects. It offers a bit more spacing for stealth shooters.
If we are comparing Leica vs. RX1rII for stealth street, the Sony wins hands down. It\'s smaller, barely larger than a cheap P&S, doesn\'t have that huge red dot and has the larger sensor.
I would hardly call the Q large, Red Dot is easily covered with a bit of black tape and in fact the Sony has a lot more labelling on the front of the camera, It has the same sized FF sensor (Sony has more mp\'s) so I fail to see how the Sony wins \'hands down\'. As a street camera I would take the Leica any day
