    I like the rangefinder. Have one similar by Meyer, New York.

    I agree. When I used an Exakta it seemed quite normal.
    The lens here is the 25mm Flektogon.

    I had one of those - remarkable lens with a huge bulbous front element. I wish I’d never sold it!

    By coincidence I just bought a CZJ 20mm Flektogon f/4 - the bulbous element is hidden under a normal-looking front element

    Had a Praktica MTL3 film camera for many years but was never into photography with it and sold it long ago.

    Praktica MTL3

    My oldest serious digital camera is the trusty Sigma SD9.

    image path contains "sale" but later I bought one new-in-box - still under 1000 shots today :-)

    My oldest 35mm camera is my Nikon SII around the mid 1950's my oldest camera { sorry no photo at the moment } is a Zeiss Super Ikonta 530/2 - 6X9 circa mid 1930's . I love 6x9 format cameras and also have a Mamiya Press S { 1964 , my year of birth } and a positively modern mid 1990's GSW690III 😀

    They don't hold half as much appeal to me even now!
