Simple Camera : Why RF?

My friend ask me why i change my gear from Slr to RF, what are the reason?
I don't know.
When i use RF, it is just "snap" fit in to my style. To be precise, it fit in to my shooting style.
I like small camera, quiet operation, simple interface, single focal length lens, can be taken daily with no extra load in my neck, discreet shooting, a camera that does not intimade the object by it's presence as well as security guys.
Yes, i found it all in RF.
I do lost dof control over viewfinder, but i get no blackout viewfinder, seeing outside of the box.
With RF i put the scene into my capture area. With SLR, i search my scene from within my capture area. I don't know why, but i feel RF is best for composition, while SLR is best for DOF control. RF works for daily life picture, while SLR for macro & super tele picture, which rarely you can see in your daily life activity.
So here i am, RFer, RFist, whatever you can say.

Started with Canonet GIII 1.7 then Yashica Lynx 14e, Lynx 1000, 2 GL, GX, 2 FC (yes, i'm a fan of yashica due to it's aperture priority mode, and leaf shutter), rollei 35rf, leica IIf, leica m2, epson rd1, hexar af, hexar rf, leica iiic-t bp, leica m2-t bp, leica m3-t, perkeo IIIe, bessa II c-skopar, bessa II c-heliar. Yes, i'm a freak in RF, i buy, i use it, i fix it, i modify it.
At the end, I only keep the best, so m2-t bp, hexar rf, rd1, iiic-t bp, and heliar are still in my drawer.
If you want to talk about RF, i am ready. But better to test one yourself, who knows what will happen later.
