My 2 years with rangefinder cameras and RFF


I joined RFF a couple months after I got my first rangefinder camera, a Kodak Retina IIIC and it has been 2 years here.

The one with four benches, umbrella shot, and the long exposure with the cart are great.

The Retina camera is very small that allow me to carry it everyday and I'm really lucky that there are something different on the day the shot taken.

Thank you friends for your wonderful comments. I feel like RFF is my second home from the first day here. Great place for photo/camera lover.

At first I love M3 but can't find a nice one and I decided to go Retina IIIC which contain leaf shutter.
Thanks for a nice comment.

This picture use 1 sec. shutter speed and very lucky that the other cars not yet arrived (only their head lamp that add worm light to the push cart). I put my camera on a hand rail and shoot.



other long exposure shot taken from 1/4-1/8 sec.

Clearly you've spent your two years with the Retina well. These are all very good, my favorite two are "an empty seat" and "fragments behind"
Thanks for sharing all of these!

I have to say that all the shots are great but this one: WOW!
to get the man in the cart to be lit with a car's headlight and having the others cars' light trails - how decisive a moment can it be?

I agree with the others: very well done! Happy anniversary! The picture above shows a very intriguing use of the Retina's lens: it has a 35mm, almost 28mm feel to it. So it goes to show that the "one lens approach" can cover quite some ground!
