Thought this thread might be a decent place to come for advise! Apologies in advance for the rambling.
I'm off on a bit of an adventure next year, and I want some sort of 35mm camera to take with me. I'll be taking a dSLR and a cheap-but-nice Russian TLR too. I don't want to rely on the TLR too much as 120 is expensive and not many people seem to develop it any more.
I'm after a 35mm to get round some of the cost issues of 120, and hopefully to be a bit more discreet than the dSLR - can sometimes ruin the moment if I have to go rummaging in my bag to pull out a big, noisy camera.
First camera I ever used was my dad's Pentax K1000 which I absolutely adored, that may be an option now if I can sweet talk him into letting me take it. The other option I've been thinking about is a cheap rangefinder.
Just wondering if anyone on here is using a rangefinder? Can you impart any wisdom regarding what they're like to use? Do they take a lot of getting used to? Is there a popular choice that costs around £100?? - no leica money here :(
Would be awesome if anyone has any advice to share :)
