Advertisement Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Hi Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS, Take a look here Best rangefinder magazine to read/subscribe to. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
IWC Doppel Posted July 22, 2012 Share #2 Â Posted July 22, 2012 LFI, most other magazines seem too SLR zoom lens to be much help for what I have seen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruhayat Posted July 22, 2012 Share #3 Â Posted July 22, 2012 There's a magazine called Rangefinder. If you can find it, it's worth reading, to me. Â Photography News | Imaging and Photography Magazine - Rangefinder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted July 22, 2012 Share #4  Posted July 22, 2012 There's a magazine called Rangefinder. If you can find it, it's worth reading, to me. Photography News | Imaging and Photography Magazine - Rangefinder  No. Save yourself the trouble. Rangefinder News is not about rangefinder photography. I received it on the day job for free because our department was incorrectly targeted. I read it every time looking for content. Time wasted. Look at this crap.  And their online Rangefinder Magazine is no better. Their statement "provides a look into many of the popular digital single lens reflex cameras (dSLR) commercially available and rates them accordingly.

Any suggestions would be much apreaceated  I would reccomend after this forum Welcome to ReidReviews Lots of very good information for about $30 per year and written by a man who knows what he is talking about.

IWC Doppel Posted July 23, 2012 Share #7  Posted July 23, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) If I was going away I would have a good read of Soul and Secrets by Erwin, free on the Leica site and a few books on photography.  If you haven't got them already I might order a few back issues of LFI too  I can't comment on the book personally but I am looking forward to reading Erwins Lens Compendium, I have just obtained a copy from a forum member Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryharwood Posted July 23, 2012 Share #8 Â Posted July 23, 2012 On line- La Vide Leica.com- American based, but very good- mostly rangefinder based, with a seeming priority towards film ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted July 23, 2012 Share #9 Â Posted July 23, 2012 That is very useful; thank you Jerry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wparsonsgisnet Posted July 24, 2012 Share #10 Â Posted July 24, 2012 I would suggest web browsing for rangefinder info. I ALSO second the ReidReviews recommendation. It's the best $30-something I spend on photography each year! Reid is a photographer, of course. Â The web is just about the most pervasive publisher one can find.

dave.gt Posted July 24, 2012 Share #11 Â Posted July 24, 2012 If you prefer Leica, then LFI is the only choice. It can even be downloaded now on you iPad... Â http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/leica-fotografie-international/id371654344?mt=8 Â Forums, blogs and such abound but I think you are looking for a magazine about rangefinder cameras. You can also pick up archived copies, enough to keep you busy on the oil rig for quite sometime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions would be much apreaceated  I would recommend not trying to find a rangefinder specific magazine but a decent photography magazine. There are a million rangefinder links on the internet, all of which confirm stultifying prejudices in favour of rangefinder photography, where it would be a whole lot better to get out into the bigger world of photography. A hard copy magazine worth subscribing to would be 'Black and White Photography', it does what is says on the cover, or via the internet you can have a rollercoaster ride of contemporary photography with  L E N S C R A T C H  and be sure to check out their 'links' to other sites.  Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
