Suggestions for overcast / rainy city shooting

Indoor nudes.

When shooting B&W they call indoor nudes "figure studies" if you use color film they call it pornography, go figure.

Went to post some letters today (short walk) took my Nikon F50 28 mm lens and iSO 25 film, dark clouds I got drenched and 3 pictures took and all within 10 minutes I am back home soaking wet....1/30 F2.8 holds no fear for me, I am expecting blur.

Great idea - I've got a Nikonos V! I never get a chance to use it - may have to squeeze it in!

I use my Nikonos V all the time in bad weather. And in good weather if what I am doing may be hazardous to the health of regular cameras.

I shot this with my Nikonos V, the 35mm lens and Fuji Provia 400 two weeks or so ago. As Fstop mentioned, dreary weather is a fantastic time to use colour film. The colour saturation provides contrast and subject isolation that may be lost in a sea of grays in poor weather. Then again, it of course depends on what look you are going for.
Anyway, take the Nikonos! They rock.
