In the final episode of 2025 I take you film camera thrifting and uncover what I believe could be the BEST budget 35mm Rangefinder film camera. While most photographers think of Leica when they hear rangefinder my mind immediately jumps to the alternative budget friendly options. I wouldn’t even go as far to say a “poor man’s leica” because regardless of price this is a very well performing & built camera.
