I am looking towards gettin a cheap range finder, i will be shooting mostly slide film through this for projection, and also scanning, and i may even stretch to gettin some images printed in the post photo place in Newcastle which i belive still prints analog with slide.
I have initially decided on the vitomatic II as it is very sturdy, cheap, quite a fast lens.
Am just wondering two things
1
If any body knows anywhere either in the north east of england or on the internet which would be a good place to buy one, i would love to be able to get one of the f2.0 model but i dont think i can justify the extra cost. Is the higher price justified in quality, with the 6 leaves over the 4 of the colour sekor lens at the larger appatures, or is it mostly due to rarity and collectors?
and 2
If anybody know of any other good range finders which mite better meet my critearia:
cheap (why i looked at the fixed lens range finders)
durable (hence looking at the german range finders)
fast lens
sharp lens
ideally around 30mm would be perfect but 50mm is good
tripod mount
thank you in advance am not sure if my ebay trawling is the best plan for getting a camera this old.
