What are some good Rangfinder Cameras?
I want to know what are some good rangefinder film cameras out there because i'm planing on buying one soon and anything but Nikon please
Leica is the classic rangefinder camera but is very pricey. Other choices would be Voigtlander, Contax, Yashica, Mamiya and others.
See the links for some examples.
I have only used Leica and Nikon rangefinder cameras, but as you have indicated without saying so, both of those cameras are probably outside your budget range.
Leica still makes rangefinder cameras. Nikon and Canon stopped making them in the late 1950's
You can look for maybe a Voigtlander, but they are still rather expensive
