The combination of lens with camera viewfinder is the most critical. One camera with a lens can be awful (50% missed focus) but with another lens can be sublime with instantaneous perfect focus. Next most important criteria is ergonomics. |

Haha, we're very much alike. I don't know what it is about those two camera's, but for me they're the epitomy of 1970's 'build-like-a-tank', solid, no hodge-podge camera's. _________________ //Tijmen

But now things have changed a bit........I recently got an Olympus OM1 with a Hoya 24, Zuiko 50 1.4 and Tamron BBAR 85-210, and I have to say the OM1 is now firmly on the top of my rather fluid list.
And then there's the Chinon CE-5, also very good, and my Zorki 4K that I've just set the register distance on............... _________________ LENSES & CAMERAS FOR SALE.....

What is it about rangefinders? Some people love 'em, others hate 'em. I'm sorry to say I'm firmly in the second bracket. I've given it a fair go - I've tried a Zorki, my father's old Beauty Light-o-matic and a Konica Auto S2 but I still keep going back to my SLRs.
I've recently become the owner of another Pentax K2, this one in tip top condition apart from needing seals and a clean. I must say, even though I love the Minoltas, the K2 is so nice to use. It's the heaviest and most solid camera I've ever used, which makes the camera absolutely rock solid when the shutter fires, just a very nice Leica-like click. Its ASA setting goes up to 6400 and it has shutter settings from 1/1000 right up to 8 seconds plus B. With just a few extra add-ons, namely a viewfinder blind, interchangeable focus screen and a motor drive connection, this camera would be truly professional quality. _________________ Peter - Moderator |

When you have had some training on the use of a RF, you might prefer it for several kind of pictures.
Some emotion may play a role in my case. I once started with a Ricoh S3, it was an enormous step forward after my fathers Wirgin Auta. The 6x9 folder had a frame finder ("sportsfinder" ) and such odd mirror thingy in which my father was capable to frame his pictures Never understood how.
The Ricoh had a good, clear viewfinder, fast transport, fast lens (45mm 2.. It served me some years before I could afford a SLR (minolta SR-1). But I kept using the Ricoh, later a Canon new Canonet QL19 and an Olympus 35SP, with lightmeters built in. Great for P&S work IMHO. Zorki and Fed never were my real love.
Ofcourse I cannot force you to like the handling of RF camera's.
I don't like modern P&S digis without a decent viewfinder. |

Leica M5 with Nokton 50/1.1
Minolta XG-9 + MD 50/1.4 or MD 50/2
They are both a joy to use
Leica is more fun to use and more precise to focus with 50/1.1 than XG-9 with 50/1.4. But it costs a lot more _________________ I'm not a collector, I'm a tester
My camera: Sony A7+Zeiss Sonnar 55/1.8

It seems that you have listed your dream cams. The original idea was to list the favourite film cams you own. _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!

at present:
Kiev 4 (though a Contax IIIa is being repaired, and I think I will like it better)
Olympus OM2
National Graflex
Autocord
Each of these has a 75-85 mm lens, so maybe I just like that focal length _________________ -Jussi

At this moment :
-Kiev IIa great combo with Jupiter 8
-Minolta X-700 great combo with CZJ Flektogon 20
-Konica FT-1 great combo with Hexanon 24 or 40
-Pentacon six great , and I mean...big combo with the biometar 80 (the only lens for P6 ,so far)
-Canon T70 I've used it mainly with FD 70-200 so far
I also own and use an Agfa Isolette in very good condition , that I still have to get used with. I also like my Fed5B , but the rangefinder patch is much clearer and handling better on the Kiev .
I am using also EOS bodies with manual focus lenses , but more rarely , because of the lack of accuracy of the chipped adapters . When I'll get a 2.3x viewfinder magnifier ,it's possible to come back to the 50e ,wich is also a beautiful camera . _________________ Cheers , Teo
