Looking for a rangefinder--need suggestions

<p>Great find. Congratulations.</p>

<p>I'm sure glad I decided originally to collect only SLRs. That way it's been easy to keep myself down to no more than 15 or more rangefinders.</p>

<p>Good luck with it, Juan. That Hexanon is one of the best lenses ever put on a camera. They use to have ads with the tag line "The lens alone is worth the price". They weren't kidding. Clean looking machine there. Now, you must come back with some pics to share.</p>

<p>The decision has been made and good luck. The S2 is a great camera. I was also going to mention Kodak Retina's. My most recent IIa was only $25. Squinty VF/RF however.</p>

<p>Most of the late sixties, seventies cameras had meters run on Mercury batteries & not manual. The Yashica GSN needs an outdated battery but a converted can be obtained on the auction site. If you are looking for a camera with all MANUAL & NO METER check the auction site periodically for the Aires Viscount. They run under $50. Another one to look for is the Konica III series, again not meter & all manual. This one runs around $100. But, if you want a meter and convience and a small camera then the Canonet QL17. Make sure it is working properly & upgraded. It runs around $200. The nice thing is that you can eventually sell it if you do not like it.</p>

<p>Or why not a Canon P. Meterless. 35/50/100 viewfinder. Not expensive. Use LTM lenses, of which there are hundreds of variations, some very cheap and good. You'll love it for sure. </p>
