V1 - first streetshooting attempt

Yesterday I had the chance to put my V1 through its paces as a street shooter for the first time and was most pleased with its performance. I have only myself to blame as the photographer and not the camera for missed shots, now that I have The V1's rapid AF and response at my disposal, not to mention completely silent operation.

• I shot with the 10mm 2.8, my only lens. The only time I missed a longer lens was coming across a movie shoot downtown. I see a 30-110 in my future

• used Aperture priority, with no problem shooting wide open at 2.8 and still maintaining sharpness across the frame for distant scenes

• applied my WB tweak to remove the green cast and confirmed that it is usable as a general offset to Auto WB and still render natural looking skin tones. I'm glad to have found this way to make my V1 behave as neutral as my D5000 SLR.

• Did not lose any shots due to focus

• EV -0.3 to avoid the washed out look I see in many pics here

• I did not notice any operational glitches that got in the way while shooting

• slow metering did not present itself to be an issue in real life use
