...what exactly are "Rangefinder"-cameras?
My dad's 40-year-old (?) Leica M5, which I am using right now (not too frequently, it confuses me for most of the time, but I try, I am too pampered with automatic functions... :roll: ) would be a "Messfeld-Sucherkamera" in my language. Nice word, eh?
Now I would just assume, but only assume, that this is what is represented by the word "rangefinder" in English. But I don't really know. Hence my question.
