Is there a 35mm?

[Kpfeifle]

Hi All,
So after 25+ years I'm finally back shooting some film! Purchased a Minolta Hi-Matic 7s and am having some fun with B&W letting The Darkroom develop and scan the negatives. So a question for all of you, is there a fixed lens rangefinder that has a 35mm lens? Thanks,

Kevin

Yashica CC has a 35mm f1.8 lens.

The Olympus XA would be another one.

+1 for the Yashica CC. Its top shutter speed is only 1/250, but since mine is only used for low-light shots it's not an issue.

There were a couple of older (early fifties models) Olympus and Minolta ones.

contax t2 (38mm)
konica hexar af
nikon 35ti
leica mini
minox ml

and the above mentioned...sure i´m missing some...

and...the summarit 40mm leicas...not 35 but near!



PD: wow never knew about the yashica CC!!!

Yes, as you can see there are several.

My advice is to learn how to develop and scan it yourself. It will be MUCH cheaper in the long run.

A few more cameras with 35mm lenses that come to mind:

- Minox folding cameras
- Ricoh FF-1
- Chinon Bellami
- Olympus Stylus
- Olympus Wide series
- Pentax PC35 AF

There also are a bunch of cameras with 38mm and 40mm lenses

You can refer to Massimo Bertacchi's enormous site on the topic:

From postwar all the way into the 90s.

Fuji x100(s)

... I think the question is about a film camera and not digital.

Wow, thanks for all of the excellent help! I will be on the look out for one of these!!

The Konica S3 has a 38mm f1.8 lens. Not quite 35mm, but pretty close. Wonderful little camera!

The Olympus XA would be another one.

And it's a very good 35mm lens, too.

Yashica CC and Olympus XA. I have XA and it is kick ass camera comparing to all analog and digital in 35/35 environment. As long as you are not lazy ass. Ready to kick?

RIGHT ON!! My bad...

A lot of mentioned cameras are either scale focus or AF, but FL RF was requested. In my opinion, many scale focus cameras are quite good to use, as 35mm is wide enough to not miss focus critically.

+2 yashica cc 8 seconds maximum shutter speed, if you live somewhere super sunny though get a orange or nd filter or else the 1/250 top shutter speed might start to annoy you

Contax T (38/2.8)
It's the only rangfinder in this serie. The other Contax T* models, are AF compacts.

Sorry for the crappy phone image, but I rarely see this one mentioned:

Minolta Auto Wide, supposedly equipped with a 6-elements 35mm Rokkor lens.
