For some reason I really do not like the word "candid". These are from today.

I like them all, especially the last.

I think 1 and 2 are strong! #2 especially. The last two are also good. I dislike the one with the over-exposed man in sunglasses. The red men/black men group is interesting, and odd. I like the way the viewers confront the camera in some of these, like the man at the National Gallery, and the man in the second one, looking right at the lens. I like that! The smoking woman has nothing much besides her...the side of the frame opposite doesn't do much. The woman in #3 is oddly expressing some type of emotion--I cannot tell what!

Looking at this assortment, it seems to me that you actually really know how to shoot. This is a very fluid type of photography, and being able to make even one image in a day that's worth looking at is, I think, something many people cannot do, but you can do. I think there are three of these that are very worthy.

The last is exceptional ... the rest have significant merit with the smoking woman having the least merit ... but the last is exceptional.

I also like the first and the last are the best to me, but they are all really great!

The X100T?

Xt-1, all cam JPEGs, with very little or no pp.
Went to shoot street with 27 mm prime, but had no luck whatsoever, gave up, decided to shoot portraits and switched to 55-200. Great, great lense, but AF is a real dog for fast street shooting. it needs time to adjust to it.

I wish they were numbered, so I counted down. #5 is my favorite.

Very nice! Props for being brave enough to take pictures of strangers. I can't do it, I always feel like I'm being creepy or that I might offend someone.
