  • I am honored :-)

    I used the new Yashica Lynx 14e I got to shoot the test roll. It's big, it's heavy but my oh my is that 1.4 lens nice to look into. Not sure I'll keep it as the all-on-the-lens control system is a bit sensitive - the aperture ring has no clicks so it's very easy to nudge by accident, as is the shutter speed ring... but I like the rangefinder concept. It's very easy to focus quickly vs an SLR in my opinion.

  • Same here, I first took pictures with SLR, then try rangefinders. I began with a cheap Ricoh, then Canon QL17, then Olympus RC (top but for small hands), then Zorki, then Canon P, then Leica. If you like RF, you should jump right to Canon P, it is cheap and sturdy. No lightmeter, but honestly, apart from Leicas, you won't find any good build-in lightmeter. And all the best Voigtlander/Leica old lenses can mount.

    edit: V600 is old and not very adequate, I think you will be limited very early. But for many years I have used an already old Epson Perfection 3200 (three gen before V600) and that was fine...
