Let's hear it for 35mm film rangefinders

An interesting article singing the praises of film based 35mm rangefinders has appeared at Popular Photography. The article compares 3 cameras. The Leica M7, Voigtlander Bessa R2a and Zeiss Ikon.

Here is the article.

Last year according to this article Leica and Voigtlander sold around 20,000 rangefinder cameras. So there is still hope for film users in an increasingly digital dominated world.

I have a Bessa R and a few lenses (Color Skopar 35mm/f2.5, Nokton 50mm/f1.5 and Jupiter-8 50mm/f2) and I am very pleased with it.
