A rangefinder.....or do I remain with my Nikon F100?

Paul, you need to do a bit of homework on each lens; typically an RF will have framelines for a couple of lenses, maybe three. If you use a lens for which you don't have framelines, then you just have to guesstimate the frame boundaries and scale focus, unless you get an auxiliary finder. Sounds bizarre at first but it's not that hard at all. Still, for starters, I would suggest starting with a semiwide lens for which your body has standard framelines. Then you can branch out from there and explore external finders and all that.

Probably what will happen is that you will start to think of your slr as a tele tool and the RF as a normal to ultrawide tool.

Up until December 2006 I had been a loyal Nikon user and owner of a F100 kit.
Over the past two years before that my use of the F100 had been declining and not only that the kit was becoming too heavy for me, I had a body with MB-15, an 80-200, 24, 14 and 35-70 lenes that were all f2.8, plus the SB-80.
I knew I couldn't just give up photography, so I sold my entire F100 kit and used the proceeds to buy an R2A, with 25, 35 and 75mm lenes.
I couldn't justify having two bodies like that, which was my main reason for selling the F100 kit.
I think the V-lander lenes are excellent, I am very happy with the three that I have.
As some of the others have stated, do a little homework and see which camera and lenes will work best for you.
Good Luck!
