Mini rangefinder revolution.

I'm having a bit of a revolution. 'Mini' because it's quite small and no one else really cares, but also because the rangefinders are 'mini'. But don't let their size fool you, they are both solid chunks of metal in the hand and performance wise they fight well outside their class.

So here's some images from the test rolls. Nothing special, just enough to make sure both cameras work, after all they are both substantially older than I.

I took this little baby for a romp around the city and surrounds on Friday, the usual street stuff and some of the wreckage from the recent rains. Honestly, I didn't want to load the next roll into the Voigtlander, I just wanted to keep shooting with this. It may never leave my side, it's small enough that it may never need to.

I was a bit unsure about this one. Noticeably smaller than the Oly but with some quirks. After sourcing a workaround for the unobtainium battery and repair of some light seals it still had an awkward winder and average rangefinder. Nevertheless, it works like a little champion. Wont be my go-to for a small camera but will remain a spare if need be.
