New to Range Finders and this site

Hi: I recently bought an Olympus 35RC on Ebay for a mere $50 + $8 for shipping. I am very happy with the camera and it works well. I think the main reason, I got into a rangefinder camera is my eyes have gone bad and makes it difficult to focus my Nikon D40's with the 50mm F1.4 lens. I remember from my dad that rangefinder camera's work well for those of us who have not so perfect eye sight and for dimly lit shooting. So here is a sample of my kitty smokie, I hope my focus is ok since this was the first roll of film, Ilford HP5. I look forward to participating in this forum often.

Welcome jpaluh - very nice kitty shot...!

I also use a 35RC and think it's an excellent, inexpensive rangefinder.

Not at the moment - I haven't got round to sorting out a Flickr account yet - lots of scanning to do...!
