RF with standard lens and manual settings

[kossko]

Hi folks

I wonder if there is any fixed lens rf film camera with focal lenght near 45mm to 50mm and manual mode. Thanks

Well, Konica S and S2 come to mind, both have some very sharp glass.

I have an Olympus 35 SP with a really good G.Zuiko 42mm 1.7... and love it.

Plenty! Add to the above suggestions: Voigtlander Vito CR/CLR. And, highly recommended: Olympus 35RC: all you need in a compact and neat package.

Thanks a lot.

Why no interchangeable 35mm RFs?

For example, FSU 35mm RFs with a good 50mm lenses are available for about $100US. And you will have the option of changing focal length if you wish.

Canonet QL19 is also pretty darn good.

Voigtlander Vitessa (mine has the 50mm f2 Ultron lens), Zeiss Contessa 35.

There's quite a few!

Also Konica I, II, III, IIIa and IIIm. And Yashica Lynx 1000, 5000, 5000e, 14 and 14e.

The Lynx 5000 was my dip-my-toe-in-the-water RF. I liked the heck out of it. Though the rangefinder patch became quite dim, and I never got around to seeing how a Mark Hama CLA might have helped. Recommended nonetheless.

My fav : Konica Auto S2 and S3
The hexanon lens is very good, as suggested by some RFF member I boght the S2 for only $35

Some sample from S2

I've got several I can recommend:

Canon Canonet QL-17-- very handy, with an exquisite lens, but a very short focus throw.
Minolta Hi-Matic 9 or 7S-- my oldest daughter has the 9, and it delivers truly beautiful photos. I'm a little envious. The 7S has lots of good buzz too.
Leica M3-- not quite what you're asking about, but it is an excellent camera that I can recommend from personal experience.

Good luck.

I really like the Olympus SP. I've found it to work flawlessly and a good beat around camera with a 42mm 1.7. I use this or a Spotmatic F when I don't want to draw attention Using a leica

I also have a Konica S, lovely camera though a bit big compared to a Zeiss Contessa. The Japanese cameras I've seen seem to age better however, in my limited experience; the German ones are more prone to being in need of a service before use. If you get a working one (or sort it out yourself) then they are great cameras to use.

The Yashica Electro35 GSN has a 45/1.7 fixed lens. Great little camera. Good glass.

Im a big fan of Yashica however here is no manual mode on this camera and it is not little.
