I got a Viso a few months back for one reason and I've had my eye on an MD-2 or MD or an M1 which has a viewfinder but no rangefinder. Simplified cameras. Blind or near blind. The Option of a rangefinder and/or viewfinder. I find VERY appealing. Especially of course for the use of wides and extra-ultra wides. My Rollei 35 and Voigtländer Vito BL both don't have Rangefinders but I've gotten great shots with both. And both had not wides but normal lenses. Partially because there is less camera. The viewfinder of my Voigtländer is practically useless. I hardly look though it. I wonder why we need them. When i shot with a Hasselblad superwide for three weeks i did much off the hip zoned focus shooting. A cheaper simpler body i have to worry less about to put my Leica glass on? Sounds pretty good to me! Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.rabiner.cncoffice.com/
