Philosophy of Photography Taking pics is one thing, but understanding why we take them, what they mean, what they are best used for, how they effect our reality -- all of these and more are important issues of the Philosophy of Photography. One of the best authors on the subject is Susan Sontag in her book "On Photography."

Why rangefinder and not SLR?

Hello all,

I've recently started using a rangefinder and enjoy just about everything about it. I have a friend who has started "learning photography" that will be visiting soon and I know that I'm going to have to explain the choice of a rangefinder over an SLR. This fellow is quite technical so a "just because" isn't going to satisfy...

Please help me: why do we prefer rangefinders over SLRs?
