markpsf Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share #21 Posted October 3, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Though Lars Bergquist's description tells you everything about rangefinder photography, you might like some more - perhaps not the same style, but an equal attitude: It's on the internet, great to read and to look at, accessible for a fee you wouldn't mind if it were a book, but a real handbook in progress: Welcome to ReidReviews Besides tests of individual lenses or cameras you'll find articles about rangefinder-photography in gerneral. Thanks. It's actually a good reminder to me and I don't know how I missed that. I'm a faithful subscriber to Sean's website and will head back there to read!

lars_bergquist Posted October 4, 2009 Share #22 Posted October 4, 2009 I have been shooting RF cameras for half a century now, but I do respect that young man -- Sean Reid. He knows what he is talking about, he does objective and reality-oriented testing, and he has an open and well-ordered mind. I do recommend his site, not only for actual and prospective RF users but for users of modern DSLR cameras too; he is a pro and has to use both kinds of beast.

MJones Posted October 4, 2009 Share #23 Posted October 4, 2009 I posted this on another forum as well but would really love some input here. I usually describe the M9 as being like the woman I fantasized about when I was younger. She was beautiful but beyond my means and even if I had her I'm not sure whether I could have "handled" her. I'm happily married now and don't fantasize about other women. But, despite having some cameras I like a lot, my fantasies about the M9 continue. I can't afford one but some vicarious experience is still fun in this case. I'd love to learn more about rangefinder cameras and photography. I'd bet my Voigtlander in the 1960s was one but it's been so long since I've used anything but an SLR or point and shoot that I no longer remember. I'd love one or two readable/accessible descriptions of rangefinder cameras and photography...a good intro (or reintro)....preferably on the internet. I don't want a book. So if you know of any, please post. Thanks. Mark markpsf@mac.com very first article on list articleindextable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptarmigan Posted October 5, 2009 Share #24 Posted October 5, 2009 This is the best book I have found though it difficult to find these days. Leica M: Advanced Photo School by Gunter Osterloh. Also Sean's site is very good and you should get a subscription (I'm in my second year now!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
