>>4136725Continuously using an outdated design that was created due to technological/manufacturing limitations rather than genuine preference is pretty larpy.
Rangefinders only ever existed because people had not yet designed a reliable, high quality mirror and prism system that could fit in a compact camera. Otherwise your camera was a viewfinder camera or a rangefinder camera. A compact SLR was not achieved until the release of the olympus OM system and at that exact point rangefinders became increasingly niche decade after decade. Today they're kind of like gibson guitars, the design is outwardly inferior and they remain committed to just making it as well as they can to justify the high price matched to the low demand. However, like gibson, they have frequent stinkers.
