You=B4re in the middle of an absolutely jampacked crowd - in the stands of a stadium - or on a train. What you th= en need is a really wide lens like the Heliar 15mm. Yes, Bob, my Heliar has indeed made a difference. And I rarely leave home without it. But, of course, I also bring other Leica lenses. Should you buy one? Well, try it once and you=B4re hooked.
