It is true, the preparation on a camera like the Rolleiflex is slower than with an M, that is why I bought the Super Ikonta which is a rangefinder camera faster to use, but it does not have the quality of the Rolleiflex, in medium format 6x6 there is not much choice of rangefinder cameras, only Mamiya, Plaubel , Fuji that I remember, but these are quite more expensive cameras. Regarding the images, I prefer the quality of the Rolleiflex, I find the Ikonta ones very soft. Thank you very much again!
