Do you think the higher hit rate you mention could be due to you looking
down, into the Rolleiflex, rather than straight on which might be more
threatening? - also, the perspective from that angle is interesting, and
composing on the square, too. The 80mm lens has an angle more like the
50 on the Leica, and reduced depth of field. So maybe these things are
arguments for longer lenses than the 35 and 28 for street photography,
making finding satisfactory compositions easier.
