  • 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...

  • Yea, there are a lot of very nice rangefinders (also below £100), most of them are tanks though.
    If you don't mind this it's cool, but in the end this means you'll not just put this in your pocket, but need a bag or shoulder-strap, or you're not going to take it with you.
    Are you really sure you need / want a rangefinder (as in: rangefinder-patch manual focusing) ?
    Or does AF maybe make sense for what you're actually going to do with it?
    There's quite a lot of nice, small, light sub-£100 point-and-shoots out there with nice lenses...

  • Yeah that's cool, I've still always got the s90 if I want something really portable to take along...

    It sounds like a fun side project to try a whole new method of taking pictures, and I'm quite happy to give up AF along with it. (famous last words...)
