Cosina Bessa with a pancake 35mm is a compact system rangefinder.
Barnack with a pancake 35mm ditto.
Street does not need a compact or discrete rangefinder any camera will do.

I have a Nikon D80 and I was curious if there was an even smaller film body

The FG is smaller and very good. You cant meter with a manual pancake 50 on the N80, and the AF lenses are quite a bit larger. You would notice the siZe difference between the fg and any AF camera.

Many of us have mentioned the FG, but i would also add the FM and FE as alternatives. They are still very small and highly capable, in particular the FE, which can do everything you could need (double exposure, mount pre-AI lenses, good manual exposure, AE, etc).

The FM and FE are larger then EM/FG/FG20 but both will mount pre AI lenses.
