Aesthetically pleasing RF

I think both my very common Leica IIIc and Retina IIa are aesthetically wonderful cameras... I think the Retina is a nicer "user."
 
Rough and ready.

To be fair, in my opinion, we could have been more methodical. First we should divide cameras by either cathegories or time periods of manufacture, then and only then make a tournee of champions.

And in the way we should decide too if post-painted models are to be taken into account. This late issue will be decisive for the Kievs - a sure candidate for champion of champions if the black post painted versions would be accepted

I still find the Canon P to be the prettiest RF I have handled. So simple and functional.

A couple of RFs that I find pleasing to the eye. The first is a Zeiss Ikon Contessa 533/4 that is a little quirky to use especially with poor eye sight but a real little jewel. It also has one of the most elegant ways of attaching the case to the camera shown in second photo. The Richo 500 is last.
