Best known user was Saloman - German press photog. in the thirties who used
its fast lens capability for candid shots of politicians. He concealed it
in his coat with just the lens sticking out. Of course, a rollfilm
conversion might make it bulkier. I shudder to think what a clean example
might cost now.
