parnupol_thongkum Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 <p>First of all,sorry about my English.It's not my native language.<br> I now using 2 cameras as a street photography hobby.Contax T2(38mm) and Leica M6 with 28mm lens.<br> Even M6 are awesome almost everyway.I sometimes more like the use of Contax T2 in some light weight carry for street trip.<br> I plan to get some hi-quality wide angle fixed lens camera (25mm or lower).So far,I found out only 2 options : <br> -Ricoh GR-21(21mm) and Fuji Natura S(24mm) anyone used to compare this? Anything else compare to them?<br> I also looking for the other hi-quality film camera that have the longer fixed lense such as 70mm or more,does any brand offer this?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Gammill Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 <p>A used Voigtlander Vitessa L (LTM) with a Snapshot Skopar 25mm lens would probably sell for less than the Fuji Natura S or Ricoh GR-21. This model camera doesn't have a rangefinder or viewfinder so you would have to make sure the lens included the clip on finder. I've seen NOS Bessa L's go for not much over 100 USD. Just preset focus and exposure and go. While you could pick up a short tele for this as well, the lack of rangefinder might be a problem, though.<br> FWIW, you can get lenses even wider than the 25mm, but price, even used, rises sharply for shorter focal lengths.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 <p>How can you do better than to simply find interchangeable lenses for your Leica?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yog_sothoth Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 <p>If you have an M6 and like rangefinders, I don't know how you can do better than to get wide angle lenses for the M6. If money is a concern than there are inexpensive options out there. A vintage 90mm f4 Leica thread mount or collapsible M lens can be inexpensive, as are Russian 85mm f2 LTM lenses. The Cosina wide angle lenses are also not very expensive. </p> <p>A very low quality but amusing camera is the slim devil ultra wide. It has a fixed 22 mm lens and one aperture and shutter speed. It is not bad (not great either) for a cheap toy camera.</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luis_g Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 <p>I think you already have acquired the right tools for that job. There are other possibilities, but they won't be any better and will involve compromises. The Bessas have much louder shutters, for example. Try something like the Olympus XA, which is light, small, and quiet, but the lens isn't nearly as good as those in your present cameras.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_sirota1 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 <p>Would you consider medium format rangefinders? I don't know of any as wide as you're talking about, but the Fujifilm GSW690III has a field of view equivalent to 26mm on a 35mm camera, and much higher quality due to the much larger film.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
