I'd absolutely love a Leica M9, but it's far outside my budget - you can almost buy a house for the price those babies sell for. (Heck, I'd settle for one of those semi-rangefinder Fuji X100s.) I've always wanted to play around with a rangefinder camera but have never had the chance. However, I've just bought a vintage 1960s Minolta A5 rangefinder off fleabay for £4, plus postage. I'll have to check the light seals when it arrives, which is something I'm dreading as I've never replaced light seals on a camera before.
Has anyone had any experience of shooting with a rangefinder? Any stories to tell? I'm pretty much used to SLRs but really looking forward to the convenience of having a rangefinder. Heck, it might even persuade me to save up for one of those fancy Leica digital rangefinders
