Fixed lens rangefinders with 35mm lens?

[archeophoto]

Hi everybody,

are there any vintage rangefinder cameras with a 35mm lens? I have a Olympus wide but it's a scale focus.
I also heard that Mamiya made a wide model with a 35mm and rangefinder.

Any others?

The Welmy Wide, Ricoh Wide, Minolta Auto-Wide. The Lord 5D has a 40mm lens (F1.9!).

Edit: Welmy is scale focus. I'm pretty sure the others have rangefinders though.

Yashica CC and CCN with 35mm f/1.8 lens. Yashica GX with 40mm f/1.7. I have several GX's. These are all great cameras.

Konica Hexar AF has a 35mm f/2 AF lens.

I think the Konica Hexar is 35mm also.

The Hexar is uatofocus so it's not technically a rangefinder; but it's built like one and the VF has parallax corrected framelines which demonstrate (by image separation/unification) the focusing process -- even while not allowing you actually to control it. So in my mind it counts. If you like AF that is.

And aren't there one or two that have 37mm or 38mm? I can't remember what they are.

Minox 35 is strictly speaking a viewfinder, not rangefinder. But a superb camera with a great 35mm 2.8 lens, nonetheless.

Minox 35GT and similar; Rollei

The Yashica CC or CCN are probably the best cameras in this category, and they have the fastest lens (f/1.8). The CC/CCN are pretty much the same camera, the CCN being a newer version. They are not as small as the Rollei or Minox, but are smaller than all the other cameras mentioned here, with the exception of the XA. The CC/CCN cameras are somewhat hard to find, but I almost always have one or more available for sale.

Yes, the Konica C35 (and clones, like the Vivitar 35EE) have 38mm lenses.

The Contax T has a nice 38mm f/2.8 Sonnar lens and is VERY compact, although aperture priority only. But it takes great pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/efixphoto/tags/contaxt/
