Thank you. I have a Rolleiflex 2.8f also, but show images on my Flickr site rather than here.
I've almost given up with candid street shots where the man's hat blows off, lands on the windscreen and the car crashes into the ice cream vendor ........ I currently prefer to shoot characters I come across on the street and make their portraits.

Very interesting pictures. Every one has his interpretation of street pictures. The 110mm/2 lens is particulary interesting for pictures taken without tripods.
Years ago with this lens http://blowupster2.blogspot.ch/2010/03/les-filles-au-salon-de-lauto-2010.html most of them taken at 2.0 other with flash but no tripod used.
Last Sunday I spent 1 houre at the for UCI Wold Cup Trial, I used this lens too. At 200 asa and at 5.6 I got some moiré I removed with phocus. Pixelised pictures here: http://blowupster.blogspot.ch/2012/09/coupe-du-monde-uci-trial-2012-23.html
The winder was realy a help to folow the event. But I have to care about the low speed of CFV buffer.
Perhaps this is more "real street camera": http://blowupster.blogspot.ch/2010/08/kyoto-juillet-2010.html

Is that question direct to me, Arthur, or another ?

I guess This question is not for me but I like to give an answer as I am a proud owner of my first Blad 203Fe ( Millennium nothing to do except it is an special edition) I had just one issue since I bought it during the year 2000 , as Brand new . It was about the slow shutter setting on manually on viewfinder Led display. But the settings worked perfectly. This problem I had after 5 or 6 years after and never sorted out yet as it was a miner issue for me and my camera works still perfectly as it did about 13years ago. So all I can say this is a great camera still highly demanding due to the Digital Backs compatibility . Choosing a second hand is not very risky and there are specialists repair services still available in Europe although Swiss Blad repair services ended for Blad V camers.

Rolo, it is abundantly clear that you have "the gift" of being able to see with your camera. If you are ever in the States and want to tour the Black Hills of South Dakota, I would be honored to be your guide. One question: do you stitch your panos, or are you cropping to the wide format? Truly outstanding images!
