Here they are...
My first rangefinder photogrpahs!, Interestingly enough made at the "First Night Celebrations"that took part in here Salt Lake City...

All photographs were made using the Voigtlander 35mm Color-Skopar f/2.5 Pancake lens with Tri_X pushed to 1600.

Not a bad night, for a first time with a new camera...
I think I will like shooting with a range finder.
Most of these, as you can imagine, were shot using shutter speed of around 1/8 and 1/4 of a second, and I'd say that using such a small light camera helped me pull theese off.
The focusing was easier than I thought, and the bright viewfinder ROCKED!
I'd love to hear what you have to say about these. They are posted in my gallery as well.
Thanks!

Brian,
I like the shots! I am an R3A user and really love the camera - the first rangefinder I have owned in almost 40 years. Are you a "reformed" SLR user? I am! I am not so patiently waiting for the R4 to arrive.

Thanks!
Yes, I recently sold my entire SLR outfit to purchase the R2A.
I also shoot with a Holga..

I'm loving the energy of the first shot there. I've got an R3A in the mail and I can't wait.

The first one is the winner for me. Nice effort there.
