This type of camera, the intermediate format between the so-called "compact" and "reflection". As the compact, sometimes it can fit in your pocket. Like the SLR, it is sometimes equipped with interchangeable lenses.
These aircraft had their heyday in the '60s and '70s, thanks to producers who probably know the names: Canon, Olympus, Yashica, Nikon, Ricoh, Vivitar, Minolta, Konica ...
The principle of "rangefinder" is very simple: you look through the viewfinder. At the center is a rectangle colored (blue or orange often). In this area, not one but two picture that appear. To the point, just turn on a ring of the objective by ensuring that the two images in this small rectangle coincide.
However the success of rangefinder cameras is not necessarily covered in this special.
Their strong point is that were mostly built at the time the money picture reaches maturity. In short, the cases are extremely robust objectives and often have an extraordinary quality of the images.
It 'was just before the reign of autofocus apparatus, namely, compact cameras we all have known for years 80 and 90, and that they preceded the arrival of digital cameras or APN.
So if my interest in these Rangefinder?
It 'very simple. In the four years I have owned three digital cameras that all I was disappointed. The last of them was, however, a high-end product from Canon, and touted as a professional camera. Images sorely lacked, charm, new light saturated, the contours and a halo surrounded, shapes of red or blue, the effect worse.
And then everything was clean, dammit! So that when drawing a picture, if the background is blurred highlights the face in the foreground.
Finally, the prints were ... bland.
All these defects are not hard to understand: the camera is still in its infancy, yet it is sold to us as a technology if it were already accomplished. Digital certainly come of age, but ... Silver has not developed in less than ten years, you know ...
When I ordered and received my first digital rangefinder, earlier this January 2008, I took the camera. I immediately understood the operation of the viewfinder. I loaded, film. Machine guns. Four or five days latter I saw my first photo on your computer. We must be honest: not All have been great, but the 36 poses, in proportion, there were still many people who were the outside. And if I want prints? I have my negatives!
The might think that the digital camera has an image quality better than a standard 24x36 camera?
E 'mathematician. Finally, not only that, but still. For the equivalent of an image taken with a film camera with a proper purpose, you need a 12 million pixel DSLR with a sensor size of 24x36mm. What is now found only on digital SLR rebel more than 600 per case. Without objective. Then you have to hand, really?
And then there was the depreciation of your purchase.
Yes, let's talk! All supporters of the camera (I was one myself) boast the savings will: you can "shoot" as they like, since the type is still possible after the computer. Also, users not most digital cameras make, prints.
Well calculates. A digital camera with a lens that is corrected by about € 250 at present. A rangefinder camera in excellent condition and a perfect view is about 30 to 40 euros. Film? € 4 / 36 exposures for the most expensive. Development? € 3.50. The draw? Same rate as in digital. You want your digital photos for the archives to your hard drive? € 3.50 for each film.
In other words, with a rangefinder camera, I have no time to do some thirty films or images in 1080, before reaching the cost of a digital camera. Time to 1080 images, the digital camera may be dead ... Telemetry devices, are already more than thirty years and wait for the day before. Under the same conditions as an NPC, are much more beautiful images, and ... we have not even talked about the fun!
Ah, the pleasures of the picture ...
The pleasure of the perfume of the film, to turn the ring on the lens. Trigger and heard the noise specific to each device (and not a sound that imitates a trigger synthetic yuk!).
I cannot even talk about Take your own pictures, because I have not made the leap for me.
Now I realize more times a week with a photographer crafts person who has a small shop along the road from me. Are discussed. One has the impression of strength. It 's funny, and then you create a social bond. You cannot really say much of your deposit or photo editor software, I confess ...
However, if this article (faith), has tickled you would for a moment, take a walk on the auction site where you know the name, look, you can crack ... And be back to complain if you do not win.
More infomations to.
