which dslr has a proper wlf?

not talking about add-on right angle finders, one which allows viewing when your eye is maybe 20-30 inches from the screen?

Only one I can think of is the old Kodak DCS 620/760 series.

I am really getting into shooting street and this would be invaluable

...may just go with an F3 as at least it takes my existing lenses.

A D5000 with its articulated LCD screen might be a better choice if you want low-angle views and or want to be low-profile: those old DCS Kodaks are monstrous!

You could go for the approach of Joe Wigfall (google him, and there's a good video on youtube too) and learn to "see with your fingers" - shoot without looking through the viewfinder. I've tried it a couple of times and with a little practice you can get some good results on the street.

no kidding, I had a 620 long time ago, at least it was cheeeep

or there is the ZigView, I suppose.

Live view and a tiltable or articulated screen.
