I like 24-28mm range for overseas travels. Locally I use longer lengths like GR IIIx or 45/50mm, but I can crop with Q2/Q3 for that. Camera wise smaller is better, but it depends also eg some people noticed my RX100 vs not the Q2. Other times Q2 got more attention. Last vacation I had the GR III/IIIx for family photos as I was not traveling much. Also I used Batis 25mm for street as well, but the combo is not that small as Q2. I guess cell phones might be the best with everybody carrying one. Q2 will give some layers to the shot without killing the background:
One of my favorite photographer Alan Shaller is shooting the streets with 24mm 1.4...
So I traded my mint Q2 for the new Q3 at Adorama. Hopefully little plus MP will help on the crops for portraits, but I think Sony sensor might give better dynamic range that lagged with Q2 compared to RX1R II sensor and maybe a better af plus the tilting lcd... RX1R II had the pdf also but it didn't help with the big lens and small battery. Q2 lens is chunky also. That might be the reason Leica is updating the battery, but it still get less shots maybe also due to higher resolution screens. We'll see the af improvements.
PS: Fred. I pm'd you regarding my acct (serhan_) that looks like it expired. I don't know if you can recover that.

If I had to choose a compact camera for street photography, the Ricoh GR would be my top pick. It's small and sneaky, making it the perfect choice for capturing moments without drawing too much attention. The Fuji X-Pro with a pancake lens or the Leica M would also be fantastic options, but the choice really depends on your personal shooting technique (AF vs MF) and style.
Going back to the Q3 (), I think it could work very well but it's slightly wider than 28mm if that's one's preference.
