The Pocket Rangefinder

[awilder]

Contax T3 by virtue of it's lens, arguably the sharpest of the T series by just a hair, the close focus down to <0.4 m, excellent flash capability, great build quality and the smallest of the T series. Negatives is the less than intuitive operational aspects compared to the T2. The Nikon 35Ti was also very nice but the flash was a pain.

In order of preference: Olympus XA, Konica C35, Olympus RC. To be fair to the RC, I just haven't used it much yet, and I am more used to the C35 than the RC. I just wish the C35 had manual mode.

Another vote for the Rollei 35S!!

2nd place at my house goes to the Olympus RC.

Well, for a rangefinder I'd have to say I'd choose the XA because it's the only one I have which is small enough to fit into a pocket. If the shots from my Natura come back as good as they seemed in the viewfinder, it'll become my pocket camera of choice.

I usualy go for an XA in each pocket, XA in one XA4 in the other, I also have a Rollie 35T which i love, but it's a bit fidely for most occasions.
for times when i just want to be sure of having a camera i go for an Mju II, or even an old Trip mostly because they are so cheap i am not going to be upset if it gets droped or drowned. I am currently experimenting with aN Olympus DC which is fully auto with a 1.7 lens and rangefinder could be interesting.
