I'm going to keep looking for a rangefinder, but if anyone has any tips for a film noob (apart from teh array of info already out there haha) I would appreciate!
Would help to know what your price range is, and what sort of pictures you're after / how you're going to use the camera.
Also how small you need it to be (very small and very good lens will be more pricey of course) and what focal leght you'd prefer etc...

I did reply earlier but my phone apparently disagreed -.- and definitely should have provided more info
Price - no more than £100 maximum, i know there's value to be had way lower
Use - probs just general street photography if I'm just trying the medium out. WIll leave the specific stuff and all the myriad lenses to the dslr. I use my 30mm 1.4 on the crop sensor for all round stuff so I imagine 45-50mm would be nice.
Size - That was definitely one of the big draws of rangefinder cameras that I should look for, even though I was going to buy the Yashica Lynx 14 which is a tank...

Been wanting to use a rangefinder camera for a while and seeing as I don't have a couple of thousand pounds spare for a leica I decided it'd be a nice time to try out film photography ad buy a second hand one.
Was about to commit to a Yashica lynx 14 with a lovely 45mm 1.4 lens although the seller apparantly found a fault at the last minute...
Well_is_it recommended the Olympus XA series which if I had seen beforehand I would have diregarded immediately just on the looks, and despite not having the fastest lens around they appear to actually take some lovely shots.
