While most modern #rangefinders use laser technology, earlier models and specialty applications use other methods like ultrasonic or optical systems. 💯 https://www.tiptopmashable.com.au/rangefinder-basics-everything-you-need-to-know-before-buying/

Two new #cameras among my favorites: the #Braun #Colorette Super II and Colorette IIBL! Two #rangefinders with interchangeable #lenses that deserve to be better known!

Re-introducing the Canon USA Rangefinder Primes, rehoused in a reliable and tough form factor by True Lens Services.

Canon’s Rangefinder Primes are rehoused stills lenses from the 60’s. They feature dreamy single-layer coatings that produce beautiful big amber flares and lower contrast images. Their bokeh is a semi-cateye shape in the outer field when wide open.

With an impressive ten lenses in the set, the #CanonRangefinder primes include a wide range of focal lengths for covering a variety of shooting conditions. The speed of each lens varies, but each is relatively fast, ranging from F1.1 to F4.

#Fuji has good #legacy on #medium #format #fixed #focal #length #rangefinders, their #645, #680 and #690 #cameras have been appreciated, especially in Japan. Always wanted one myself but the availability and #prize in Europe has been less than ideal. Now these cameras are half a century old so replacing them with #digital medium format rangefinder makes a lot of of sense. Especially considering how difficult is to #service and #repair these old #analog cameras.

Is Leica Overhyped or Worth the Hype?

Haven’t shot this stuff for years - this is one of the last two rolls I grabbed when it stopped being available. It expired 7 years ago, but I’ll give it 1/3 of a stop and she’ll be right (mate).

A black film rangefinder camera in the background, on a cafe table. In front, a film box saying “Kodak Professional BW400CN”.

And then there were two.

Buying a Contax IIa after a year of battling with (and being frustrated by) a Contax II may be the definition of a sunken cost fallacy. But… it was cheap(ish). So I regret nothing.

I’ve shot more film this week than in the last decade. For most of the 10s I had a health condition that gave me super shaky hands for a decade. I could not reliably focus a rangefinder (or even hold one up).

I’m thankful for being able to pick up on the things I’ve loved and missed. My skills are rusty, but the joy and happiness from taking pictures never left.
