Photography gear buy/sell

I’m not sure if that’s a question but I’ll try answer/ give my perspective. Rangefinders are great to be discreet with, they are smaller, lighter, quieter and as such less obtrusive.
Most have more mechanics in the lens, meaning travelling with two bodies and variety of lenses potentially is a more robust setup to deal with failures and still run two bodies. This is what I used to do but it’s personal choice.
I’ve never heard anyone sight the robustness of a rangefinder as a reason to use it in comparison to something like a Nikon FM say.

I would have thought all those reportage photographers who travelled a lot deliberately chose rangefinders.

The war photographers used Nikon F from Vietnam onwards. Most of the Nat Geo type photographers too. Who were you thinking of?
