I love rangefinder cameras and have owned and used quite a few over the years including the C44. My favorite will remain the odd little Mercury II [0] with its movie camera style shutter and half frame format, it just took amazing photos and is a very robust camera in every way that is simple to work on with no specialty tools or micro surgery required.<p>0: <a href="http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Mercury" rel="nofollow">http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Mercury</a>
