Recently I've begun to grow weary of lugging my dslr set up everywhere. It's heavy and, frankly, it's a bit too much like "work" for me (given that most of the time I am using it for business purposes). I'd love to be able to find a small(ish) camera (film or digital is fine) that I can carry around fairly easily and enjoy taking photos with. I think, though I don't know because I've never really gotten to use one much, that a rangefinder of some kind would be great. However the limiting factor for me is money. I just can't justify spending too much (probably sub-500 USD) on something right now.
Last year I picked up a used and partially operable olympus 35-rc for $5 or so at a used camera shop near me. I love the little sucker, something along those lines would be great. It doesn't have to be an amazing work horse or top end unit, just something that produces good pictures, is small and isn't too costly (film costs aside).
Does the LL community have any ideas I could pursue?
Thanks guys,
