Recommend a entry level MF rangefinder?

TrailsofLife · 3rd March 2009

after playing with Holga and Diana, I got alittle interested in getting sharper photo. So am looking for a cheap medium format rangefinder that takes 6X6, allow me to focus and compose photo properly, light or at least travel friendly.

Need help on recommending one. anything affordable.

Thanks in advance

Your best bet would probably be older models like the Zeiss Super Ikonta series or the Agfa Isolette III. You can also consider the old folders by Kodak.

The problem with these cameras is that they are mainly very old and may need a good CLA. If you can find a good copy, grab it and enjoy it.
