Size: GRD IV + GV-2 vs X-E1

As street lenses, I also use the Leica Elmarit 28mm f2.8, the Zeiss 28mm f2.8, and the CV 25mm f4.  The CV is especially compact and quite enjoyable to shoot on the GXR.  Colour is excellent, the lens is sharp, and the lens element is protected by the included metal screw-on shade.  It's excellent for daytime street shooting, giving about a 37.5mm equivalent.

A 28/2.8 gives a 42mm eq, and a bit of background separation.  I love the way a 28 looks on the GXR in middle range distances like 3-5m away.  Frankly, the GXR-M is addictive if you like the manual focus experience and this level of image quality.  I often carry the GXR-M instead of my M9 and feel that I get a great deal of the image quality.
