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.
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!
