Because we like to, and rff is a broad church. There is a bias towards film and towards rangefinders, and that I like, but there's discussion about all sorts of cameras and imaging media, which I also like. That's why this is such a great place.
If you do not find the range the pictures will be out of focus.
The forum originally was specifically for rangefinder cameras. There was a companion forum for SLRs. The two merged and broadened out to welcome virtually any camera, while rangefinder cameras get extra affection 😉
I see, that explains everything.
Broad indeed. Some of us came up through the view/field camera route and found rangefinders a more portable solution. HCB's "sketchbook," if you will. SLRs displaced that in some respects except where some grace and delicacy was required. I'm all digital now but shot film from the mid-sixties. Mirrorless (Canon for me...) appears to be the future and no matter what job I'm on I still have a Fuji X100F or two in the bag or hanging off the shoulder. It's not a rangefinder in the traditional sense, but it retains much of the aesthetic and practical advantages of one.
