It's not a rangefinder....

but, the Welta Weltax is small and makes very sharp photos. I printed off a mm-to-ft chart and using the really crappy framing finder I manage to get really sharp photos. The Weltax is very small and usually pretty inexpensive. I bought mine for about 40 bucks.
here's an example of what it can do

Rey, I hate to seem (and be) uninformed, but what is "a sticky"?

They're fine performers & great value for the money, but they're also pretty big & heavy, especially as compared to any of the folders.

Koni Omega and Rapid Omegas. Very good lenses, 6x7 image, interchangeable backs on some models. Make sure you find one with a recently serviced back - the back is the weak link in the camera for as they wear the negative spacing goes wonky.

I've tried to use both the Koni-Omega Rapid and the 'baby' Graflex. For me, the
KO is so much easier to use because you don't need to worry about cocking the shutter or advancing the film at the right time. However, If you need a
ground glass back, get the Graflex..
