How much rangefinder can $750 buy me?

User grade Bessa R + Canon 35mm/2.0 should be around 500Euro/750USD.
Maybe you can also get a good Jupiter-8 additionally.
Or invest in a good starterset for home-developing

That's almost exactly what I had. I already have a whole darkroom in the basement.

ibcrewin, then a used R3a w/ a used CV 50mm f/2.5 w/ adapter might be your best bet.

This might be the route I take. Thanks everyone for your suggestions
